So here’s the deal. For the last five years Team Polizei’s web presence – not including social networking pages – has been comprised of our Gumball144 blog, 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 3000, which we never were, and are not. In the next 24 hours the gumball144.com URL will be re-directed to our new blog riiiiight here, featuring a new and faster server, more content, improved search and commenting, and all archives dating back to our humble beginnings 5+ years ago.
Much more to follow. Thanks for your patience during the transition. Bugs? Comments? Let us know.
Best, Alex
Alex, Grate to hear that things are evolving and that team Polizei is going from strength to strength.
I told a bunch of my colleagues about your run yesterday, and they could not believe it, I guess I will have to direct them to the new site.
Thanks
James
Looks better and loads a lot faster
Thanks avoid!
We also are making an effort to display past content so it doesn’t get missed. Y’knnow, just making the archives more accessible…
Also we will be revamping the pages, filling out some MASSIVE photo archives, and releasing tons of new video! Stay tuned.
Very cool indeed! We’ll all be looking forward to the media releases!
Viva La Polizei!

Looks great! Also loads a ton faster, Thank You!
Looking forward to new content
Although the time has come to change the site’s name,
let’s not forget that these gumball years were one
unforgettable laugh… and as for this horendous load
time of the past, I always though it was some divine
punishment… like: “Remember these residential areas
in Thailand that you blew at full speed… now eat this”.
Dear Avalancher:
You are right, of course.
Best, Alex
Love the clean new balanced look!
But of course it’s always pleasant to type ‘Whitey’ into search and reread that story.
More comments when more awake….keep up the good work my friend!
Whitey.
It looks good and loads really good too! I was just wondering, what ever happened to the mistery BMW that you announced a while ago (Only showing a picture of the engine). Will that still be presented anytime in the future?
Thanks,
Seb
Thanks for asking! Hmmm…..tonight? Tomorrow?
Best, Alex
Keep the Feed Alive…
For those of you that don’t already have your own iGoogle page set to stream your favorite RSS feeds to you like a custom online morning newspaper here’s how:
1. Set Google.com/ig at your browser page
2. At bottom click “Add news, games, and more”
3. At left click “Add feed or gadget”
4. In pop-up box paste “http://www.teampolizeihq.com”
5. click “back to iGoogle home” to see your page updated
Alex’s new site has additional requirements than most feeds and to “add comment” will require first registering and receiving a complex password to gain access. Please take-on the added hassle – I’d had to see a drop in comment postings because of the new blog security.
Def loads alot faster! Great idea to keep the site fresh….
Your loyal readers are happy
