NY Auto Show Overheard, Or How Team Polizei Learned to Stop Worrying And Love The Dusty Viper

Published by davey April 1st, 2008 18 Comments

The New York International Auto Show brings together automotive enthusiasts of every stripe and level of interest. Hardy souls journeyed from as far afield as Austria, Sweden and Virginia to check out Polizei Interceptor 144B and chat about our jovial, demented brand of law enforcement. Sadly, inevitably, some folks were either ill-informed about the goings-on in the automotive world or — at the extreme end of things — complete and utter dunderheaded Ostrogoths when it came to cars, the law and life and how to live it. Of Visigoth persuasion ourselves — especially Mme. Lau — we enjoyed a few hearty chuckles at their expense. Come along, won’t you, and peruse our list of sublime, stupid, and outright head-scratch-frenzy-inducing quotes from the show after the jump.

Above: Team Polizei Master Piloten David Maher’s Pavlovian response to "The Driver" surprises none aware of his depiction within. Below: AI Design Owner Matt Figliola & "32 Hours, 7 Minutes" Director Cory Welles also react as expected.

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #6

Published by Alex Roy July 22nd, 2007 1 Comment

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #6 shows one of our first tests of the Raytheon Thermal Night Vision system custom (and expertly) installed by AI Design last year. The black & white image is displayed on an Alpine display center-mounted atop the dash and angled toward the driver. A second Alpine display is mounted below the passenger-side airbag.

Return of the Team Polizei M5!

Published by Alex Roy July 3rd, 2007 3 Comments

The world’s most infamous E39 BMW M5 has finally returned home from the 2007 Gumball 3000. I will retreive it later today from Horseless Carriage - the only automotive shipping company I trust - from whose Patterson, New Jersey depot I will slowly drive it - still in Gumball livery - back to Team Polizei’s secret garage bunker in Greenwich Village, hoping to avoid making any new friends in law enforcement. Luckily, Team Polizei has indeed made some new friends - real friends - in the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, not that there’s anything they could do if I was really foolish. (Hey Mr. D…you know who you are!)

After a quick refit at AI Design, Team Polizei will begin a series of surprise appearances at local car events as the "The Driver" book tour approaches. More to follow.

(Thanks to Mark @ Fromm America for ensuring a quick customs process.)

The AI Design CLS55 AMG

Published by Alex Roy June 24th, 2007 2 Comments

Team Polizei’s trusted friends at AI Design just got this shout-out from European Car for the stunning CLS55 AMG they built for DC shoes founder Ken Bloch. I’ve seen this car in person, and although I generally could care less about most aftermarket work - at any price - AI’s work is utterly gorgeous, and even more impressive in person.
