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

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.

“The Driver” UK Book Cover Revealed

 US Cover (Click for Hi-Rez)  UK Cover (Click for Hi-Rez)

Ebury Press, a division of Random House, has released a near (if not the) final version of the UK cover of my memoir "The Driver", and I’ve got say I might even love the 60’s-style cover more than the US edition’s sleek/modern approach.
