Lotus on Whipnotic.com
A while back this show followed the MDR group around filming
The Legendary Lotus: High Performance Meets Canyon Roads*-*Whipnotic This might be airing on KNBC ch 4 Los Angeles this weekend, but I am not sure, trying to find out on their website I am the 2nd car to pass the camera at 00:09 ardent red no top and you can see me a few times in the parking lot scene in a bright yellow & green lotus tshirt leaning against my car at 1:06 & 1:12 , I was too chicken to talk on camera and avoided them Hopefully more footage on the actual tv show, they should have caught some great stuff

As has been said before, you don't have to agree or like him, but his contributions are very clear for our aftermarket community. Whatever can be said he is extremely passionate about our cars and what they represent to the driver.

Yeah I think it is safe to say everybody there that day is an LT member, it was pretty much pulled together by Serebo1 - stealth black Elise
Here is the original post This Sunday, TV show WHIPNOTIC wants to feature Los Angeles Lotus Group Please anybody who can , record/post the KNBC show today at 5 and post? The show is on for sure but they don't say if it is the Lotus segment this week. If it is not, the show seems to be on every other Saturday.

Funniest thing that day was when I was waiting for the next run up on Stunt road overlook. Frank zips up and drops off the cameraman who went for a ride along with him. Poor guy was pale, sweaty and shaking looked ready to puke haha. Also it looks like they chose to use the slower - tamer footage of the driving, they made a point of not wanting to appear to be breaking any laws or have us speeding for the show......

I think part of what people didn't like was the street racing, whether that's racing other people or just by yourself on public roads.
I think the responsible sentiment is "take it to the track where it belongs" But whatever I don't live there.

Going fast in a straight line where no one is allowed to change lanes and flying around blind curves are 2 different things entirely. Nice try though.
Also last time I checked, bicycles weren't allowed in the tunnel either. And I'm obviously not talking about street racing in that video, I'm referring to Ronin's past videos he's been criticized for. Who's got +1k posts here?

Any accident in a tunnel is going to be 100x worse than in the canyon. And your going to have to pay for tunnel repairs too. Mega money $$$. How about you do your tunnel run at 3am when its empty. |
