Graphic, controversial and not quite what anyone was expecting, here’s a little video of our road trip to Montreal for F1 last week. Jason Thorgalsen and Josh Vietze join JF and I for this episode of The Road Testament.

Surreal, but true. I’ve been invited to be a judge at the 2010 Greenwich Concours D’Elegance today and tomorrow in Connecticut’s gorgeous Roger Sherman Baldwin Park. Who would possible think this is a good idea? Thank Concours Chamberlain Michael Lindgren and Organizers Bruce & Genia Wennerstrom, the very same kind souls who invited me to join the venerable Madison Avenue Sports Car Club & Chowder Society two years ago.
My invitation is especially surreal, given Polizei 144B’s appearance at the 2008 Concours, and the Team’s performance that hot summer day.
Look for the bald guy in the white linen suit and straw hat. Or JF, Josh Vietze or my old co-pilot Michele Shapiro.
And if you know anything about vintage cars, come walk with us and share your opinion, because I don’t. Not really. Maybe. I think.
Team Polizei is going to Lemons. To race.
TWO cars, if they let us, which sources say they will.
Here’s a teaser for what we’re doing.
More to follow.
MUCH more.
Jalopnik cross-posted my Europe By Car Blog post about my new car before I could do so here, so you’ve got two places to read about and watch the little video Vietze shot and edited about Polizei 144S: a 1973 Citroen SM. Here’s the Jalopnik post, and here’s mine.
Alex Roy & Josh Vietze depart from Mission Control in NYC, piloting the legendary Polizei Interceptor 144A to Daytona Raceway in Florida. After 1 Amtrak Autotrain Suite, 1 Amtrak open bar, 1 Amtrak cheese buffet, 6 hours of Civilization IV: Warlords, 5 hours sleep, 32 coffees, 1 traffic stop, 1 police warning, 25 law enforcement sightings, countless Black & Mild Wood Tips, 24 hours in Daytona, 1 missed Autotrain home, 1 snowstorm and too many photos to count, we bring you this video.
Updates on our race at Homestead this weekend soon to follow… In the meantime, check out our new 144P livery a-la Dietz & Watson, as well as our Polizification of some of the signage around the raceway…
