And it worked. George Lloyd and Ron Docie, entrants in the 1981 U.S. Express claimed to be contaminated NASA employees who were told to proceed immediately to Travis AFB in California. This story in the Dec. 14th issue of Autoweek, cites two instances where the police officer let them off the hook…
…But it’s not clear whether or not he was driving or a passenger when the F430 test-mule/prototype went off the Nurburgring track and into a guardrail at 155mph on the Schwedenkreuz corner. Schumacher reportedly called his publicist to say "We have crashed the car but are going to continue with another one," leaving out the identity of the driver. Some reports said Schumacher’s son Mick was in the passenger seat while Schumacher was at the wheel and others say that a driver named Raffaele De Simon wrecked it with Schumi riding shotgun.
In a recent Top Gear episode, Clarkson & Co. pitted an M3 against a Prius on their test track. The M3 followed the Prius around the circuit as it lapped as fast as it could. It bored Clarkson to tears but he did it in the name of science. The end result showed the M3 averaged 16.1 mpg vs. the Prius’ 14.3 mpg. Does it take a genius to figure out why?

A little taste of just one of the projects we’ve been working on. A small piece. Just wait. Check out Seero.com while you’re trying to figure it out. Johnson’s involved. And a few others. Just a couple.

Something HUGE is brewing at Top Gear, and I’m NOT talking about the confusion over at NBC’s we-hope-will-be-even-half-as-good-as-the-UK-version-but-can’t-be US version of Top Gear.
And we’ve seen Top Gear’s smoking gun pitch. Yes. That is, if it’s real. I think it is. Maybe. Probably.
Think Top Gear on ice. Almost. Yes. It’s true.
Talk about target marketing, you’ve gotta give this dealership in Butler, Missouri, some credit for knowing their customers. They’re offering a free gun to anyone who buys a new car. So, in exchange for signing your life away for 4 or 5 years of car payments, you get a gun worth a couple hundred dollars. Makes sense (in a logically-incompatible, parallel universe). We hear the gas station down the street is offering free bullets, instead of free car washes, for customers who buy more than 10 gallons of gas. Coincidentally, or not, the city of Butler saw a rapid increase of STOP signs perforated by small arms fire shortly after the dealership announced the offer. No word yet on who’s offering bullet-proof vests.

Big news looms - maybe - regarding Top Gear USA’s future, according to our anonymous, disparate and usually credible sources.
What could it be? Here’s my list, in descending order…
It’s over. He’s putting away the driving gloves, donating the costumes to The Salvation Army, selling the cars and firing his lazy staffers. Alex Roy, road rally champion and NY to LA record holder, is shredding his license and devoting himself to his true passion, high school wrestling.
Staffers at Team Polizei failed to connect dots when Roy kept mentioning the need to "cut weight" while heading out for late-runs covered from neck to toe in air tight garbage bag running suits or the strict fasting regimens and diuretic pills he claimed were part of his cleansing and detox program. Turns out Roy was trying to lose weight to make the 160 lb. weight class for the Pottstown Trojans.
After a Google alert for "Alex Roy" showed up in our email boxes, we confronted Alex. In tears, he said, "It’s true. I’m sorry I lied to you but I have to follow my heart. If not now, then when? I’d never forgive myself if I didn’t give it a shot, plus, I’ve never graduated from high school so I’m killing two birds with one stone."

To kick off Alex’s "The Driver" European Book Tour, Team Polizei’s UK-based Master Pilot Michael Ross procured yet another addition to the Polizei fleet - a black 2000MY E39 BMW M5, 144R. This one sports a roll cage, a noticeably lower suspension and numerous as yet-unrevealed invisible modifications. Aside from accompanying Roy und Ross on future European events, 144R is also being prepped for a dash/run/lap that will be revealed soon. Very soon. Stay tuned.

Contrarian Bob Lutz says he’s "a skeptic, not a denier" of the supposed phenomenon of global warming and then later covered his ass by adding, "having said that, my opinion doesn’t matter." So does his opinion matter when applied to other topics such as…the auto industry? Read what he’s got to say about hybrids, cars as sculpture and the Volt.
