Tim Ferriss Meets Alex Roy

Alex Roy - Team PolizeiToday I got to listen to an interview of Alex Roy by Tim Ferris. Alexander Roy is a captain of Team Polizei 144, and winner of the Gumball 3000 in 2003. The Gumball 3000 is a 5000km (3000km) race through Europe (sometimes) on public roads. Imagine driving as fast as you can through public roads and breaking every traffic law possible. Team Polizei did the Cannonball Run from Los Angeles to New York City in about 32 hours, averaging about 130 mph.

Pardon my French, but that’s FUCKING insane. If this isn’t leading a life less ordinary, I think I need a better dictionary. Alex Roy is described as a “travel executive, filmmaker, and philanthropist” and I would love to be called just one of those things, let alone all three.

Unfortunately, you have to visit the page to listen to the interview, as Tim Ferris has cunningly embedded it there. (I can’t link to it directly). But trust me, it’s worth a listen.

If Alex Roy isn’t an example f the New Rich, I don’t know who is!

    Damn that is scary fast…how the heck did he manage that speed the whole time? Must have been physically/mentally exhausted after that; original people deserve praise and money too..guess he is the new rich
