First off, I did search the forums, and didn't see this posted anywhere, so I am posting this up in here. I apologize if it's a repost from somewhere. No actual "kill" but if you watch closely, the Polizia almost caused a few actual ones, lol.

From the video description:

Gumball 3000 (2005)

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Team Polizei's Alex Roy, eager to improve his position departing Florence's Piazza Michaelangelo, stumbles upon the local Polizia. Amazingly, the Polizia agree to lead Team Polizei's BMW M5 through the city at 100+mph, narrowly avoiding killing dozens of pedestrians and commuters.

:eyecrazy

awesome~

speechless! :eek:

wow that laughing was annoying. Cool drive through the city.

repost from a while ago, but still a good video.

yep cool ride..

that was awesome when the M5 guy put his siren on. That english/autralian girl in the back was annoying after a while

those guys are some bad-asses

The OP must not get out much if that's the most amazing video he's ever seen. ;)

Still, cool video and cool cops, but I hope that the worldwide attention it's getting on Google Video doesn't get those Florence officers in trouble.

What's the big deal? THat is the way they drive there. Ever been to Italy? You'll shit a brick. You've never seen so many no name diesel hatchbacks move so fast.

How is this a:nono "KILL STORY?"

I just like the GPS going crazy.... "Off Route, recalculating!"

How is this a:nono "KILL STORY?"

what? did you see the video? they just kill everybody or should i say everything on the street.:D :D :D :evil2

They shoulda stuffed a sock in the mouth of the broad in the back.

pretty cool video. i wish the cops round here were like that.

All the commentary was pretty effin' annoying.

Um no they dont. Maybe the occasional idiot will drive like that but in the big cities no one drives like that. Highway is a different story.

I'm more amazed that it even occurred, mostly due to my naiveté, as someone has pointed out, as I have never travelled to Italy. Although for crazy driving, I have been to Saudi Arabia as a USAF member, and the crazy street-driving there tops all, IMO.

ughhh, must be nice, but not too crazy about the reckeless driving.

pretty cool-reminds me of the times we use to ditch the cops

I concur. Come to think of it, they all should've remained silent throughout the drive.

Interesting video nonetheless.

I wish all cops were like this...

LETS ALL MAKE A GUMBALL FOR BIMMAS...lol...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what exactly is team polizei? Just a team of officers that are racing around Europe for teh gumball rally? Im kinda confused about the whole gumball race.

That was the most amazing video you've ever seen? Not to sound too much like a dick, but this is no where near as good as "Climb Dance" from the 80;s, or Marko Djurick's compilation video, or any of the WRC tributes... or even that Radical/BMW hillclimb clip posted last week. All this shows is very risky driving... not skilled, just risky. These guys risked a lot of bystandards lives, why is that so amazing?

If you have a thing for very illegal driving on city streets, do a search for the Knight Rider clips. I saw one the other night where a professional driver challenged Knight Rider to a game of cat and mouse with the professional driver in an M Coupe. Needless to say, the M Coupe is executing perfect drifts and transient changes through city streets... and though people's lives are risked, at least it isn't on crowded city streets.

:lol Yeahh....I didn't remember seeing David Hasselhoff chase an M Coupe around with Kit. wooooo woooooooo. Now the Knight Rider theme is in my head. I'm sure that ghostrider will be proud that he is confused with David Hasselhoff. How funny would it be if sweedish cops show up at Hasselhoff's house in California, bust down the door and say "Now we got you you bastard!" That would be great.

I SAW THE WAY THAT DUDE WRaCKED HIS M COUPE IN THE GUMBALL MISCHIEFS 3000...

SO WHOS DOWN TO CREAT GUMBALL RALLY FOR BIMMAS???????????
