i think this guy is a big contribution to the european car community ... of course while driving very dangerously ... that can be considered a negative ... but oh wells =)

gumball is highly respected illegal activity =) but it looks so damn fun

whoa i finally got around to watching those clips

i'm speechless

[Bimmer Pilot]

Avg Speed of 90.1 is quite impressive

[mike]

Well the old record was set with a little more style, but the cops back then didn't have near the tools and man power they do now, so I think all his rigs are completely justifiable. Looks fun as hell, that M5 of his sure has alot of stories to tell.

[bugzy]

btw, i thought i read he never used the police equipment in the US, only during his runs in europe

but thats just waht i remember

[SoCal_GLI]

[Pireboi251]

Just get a siren man for like 20-30 bucks... My friend's family's truck has one... So dang awesome. If you had a siren, you would WISH people would so stupid isht around you. When we went to pick up his bug, someone cut us off and he flashes the Police sirens... Needless to say they jumped back into the other lane and backed off haha.

It makes people use the stop sign too/slow down, fun to laugh at people as they speed past the house and it looks like they won't make the stop sign... flash the police siren and they slow down to a screaming halt hahaha. :D

[M55555]

Alex has such an inspector gadget car...awesome meeting the guy.
