In Italy..real Police helps Gumball3000 teams......

Ok, people..seems incredible, but this really happens in Italy.
During the recent Gumball3000 the italian Police of Florence found the BMW M5 of german TEAM Polizei..and thinking they are "real policemans"/cause driving with a funny uniform..) in secret service in Italy..they helped theme in crossing the heart of Old Florence..at over 100 mph/h.

It is an amazing video...that proof HOW stupid can be the italian police (and nobody of theme talks neither a few english..)..

have a look VIDEO ...

really really incredible.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: In Italy..real Police helps Gumball3000 teams......

Surely cool...but too dangerous and a proof that here almost nobody is able to talk a little english.

Note the final scream.. "Fuc**** Grazie Police!!!"

LOL..

Re: In Italy..real Police helps Gumball3000 teams......

Paul, while going over the Cortina pass a few years back with a group of mates on motorbikes, we caught up a police car. He went for it, overtaking everything he could at every available opportunity. The amazing thing was though ,that when he couldn't overetake he actually waved us past him !!

We stopped in Cortina for a coffee. He then came by, gave us a toot and a big thumbs up, and then just drove off [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Now thats my kind of copper. Let us have some fun as long as we weren't taking the p!ss [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: In Italy..real Police helps Gumball3000 teams......

ahahahahahah....

I am anyway quite sure all this happened for a general misunderstanding (cause Polizei chief use to dress as strange policemans), and they probably were sure to help in any way some foreigner colleagues.
I really dunno what kind of police will use a tuned M5, but i read they did the same in Canada and Sweden (seems the only police not to joke with are French one..and wellknow too-easy-gun trigger famous american one).

Wonder if police will found the other team mate..Torquestein!!! ( HERE HIS WEBSITE

LOL
