“A Man Like Alex Roy Has Many Enemies!” Declares Germany’s Der Spiegel! Or…”On The Highway Hell is Going!”

A stunning, hilarious peice of journalism with the most incredible opening line of all time.

I’d love to know what the actual German Polizei think of this. Team Polizei’s use of the beloved word "Polizei" has strangely led to some Google search rankings that must baffle German citizens trying to track down the official Polizei web site.

Here’s the Spiegel article in German. Thanks. I meant danke. Here’s the English version

Published in the following categories: Alex Roy, Alex's Favorites, Bullrun, Cannonball Run, Genius, Gumball 3000, Media - Miscellaneous, Media - Print/Online, Races, Rallies, Team Polizei - Miscellaneous, US Express (1980-1983) and US Express (2006).
