-for the next few days, as Team Polizei HQ is moving - starting today - to the South Concourse of the Javitz Center for the 2008 New York International Auto Show. Public days start on Friday, but we’re setting up ASAP for Wednesday and Thursday’s press days, so if you’re coming down at any point, we’ll be waiting for you next to the blue BMW M5. Yes, that’ll be 144B. Any phone, e-mail or community messages are unlikely to be answered quickly until the show ends on the 30th, so please be patient, or come see us in person. Details to follow…

Team Polizei couldn’t operate without her.
Team Vice-President Lelaine Lau works hard, very hard, and almost all of her extraordinary work remains invisible both to fans and law enforcement. Her CoEfficient of Cool (CEoC) is through the roof. She likes to remain discreet, which is why - although present at almost every Team Polizei start and finish line for several years - few have ever actually seen her in action. Unless you’ve read "The Driver", you’d never know that Lelaine was responsible for flying (and guarding with her life!) the master time clock we punched on each coast.
More importantly, it’s her birthday, and I know that I, everyone here at HQ, and anyone who knows what a wonderful friend and teammate she is wishes her another healthy and happy year. She deserves it.
Happy Birthday, Lelaine!
(And if you want to see a rare picture of her beside Polizei 144A at AI…it’s after the jump!)

0025hr EST - Team Polizei Temporary HQ - Somewhere in Miami Beach
Speed: 0mph
New York Motor Club Jefe Matt Farah and I finally made it to Miami late Thursday night, after a longer-than-expected two-stage/two-day drive from NYC. Our planned stop in Charleston, South Carolina was cancelled due to fatigue induced by Washington DC’s wretched traffic…not to mention a 90 minute stop to visit my old haunting grounds around the Georgetown and American University campuses.
An unplanned stop in Columbia, SC - new territory for the top brass from Team Polizei and The New York Motorclub - demanded a visit to Columbia’s best watering holes. That story can’t be told now due both to moral and time restrictions, but two hardy Polizei fans made it there to see us:
