So here’s the deal. For the last five years Team Polizei’s web presence - not including social networking pages - has been comprised of this blog (gumball144.com), Team Polizei’s portal and the Polizei 144 clothing store. Not any more.
As of this weekend, this is going to change. Why? Firstly, since our gumball144.com blog is our most popular site, we want to move away from being identified off the cuff as a representative or employee of the Gumball, which we never were, and are not. In the next 24 hours the gumball144.com URL will be re-directed to our new blog, featuring a new and faster server, more content, improved search and commenting, and all archives dating back to our humble beginnings 5+ years ago.
Team Polizei Master Pilot Michael Ross led Polizia Maritimo Veloce(!) to a watery but stylish finish on last week’s Blade Run, and rumor has it some very interesting pictures will be coming our way in the next 24 hours.
Ross is clearly having too much fun at Brands Hatch this weekend, whilst I stay home and work on the upcoming release of Cory Welles’ 32 Hours Minutes…now only a few months away.
While the superiority of the E39 M5 has been proven by Team Polizei ad infinitum, ad nauseum, ad perineum und ad pancreas, some individuals and law enforcement agencies seem to inexplicably hew to other ideas when it comes to the platonic ideal of the police cruiser. Jalopnik’s Matt Hardigree put it out there for readers to decide, and a number of the site’s commenters seem to agree with our choice. Blind copycats or individuals who truly understand that late-’90s Bavarian thinking created what remains the ne plus ultra of scofflaw deterrance and capture? You make the call.
