“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.

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #3

Team Polizei Wallpaper of the Day #3 is from the 2005 Bullrun. One of my favorite pics of perhaps our most aggressive-ever livery, our Renntech Mercedes CL600 was captured on film during a brief respite on Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, where we placed first on the interim stage between Salt Lake City and Reno, then took 2nd place overall just a few days later. This - the third time Team Polizei faced the vaunted Richard Rawlings of Team Gasmonkey - was the first time we beat him. Jalopnik has the full story in their archives.

Team Polizei successful retrieved the Polizei M5 this morning, departing at 1230hr local time.  The team’s strategy to get a hotel room at the airport last night as opposed to staying at the Athens Hilton paid off, being that they were one of the first to retrieve their car.  Alex Roy, Michael Ross, Davey Johnson of Jalopnik and a French cameraman are now leading by more then 40 miles on an alternative route to Tirana.
