DanR Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 You know what Ronin, I'd be happy to be your passenger anytime. Like the way you keep to your side of the road, don't overdo it and your corner preparation and push-pull control on the wheel is something I reckon most road drivers could learn a lot from. I do get nervous with some who have never learnt to drive properly at a brisk pace. The only way I get them to check their egos and slow down is telling them I'm going to chuck up. You've got some interesting backroads to play on. Also there's no way our nanny state would allow a car like yours on public roads. Keep on doing it...it's great. 1 Quote DanR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iconic Ride Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nice to see the car from a very different perspective. Two questions, Frank. Who paid for the chopper?

TBD Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 And what is the pitot tube thingy sticking out of the front intake grill? I think you mean his tow bar.

ronin Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Nice to see the car from a very different perspective. Two questions, Frank. Who paid for the chopper? And what is the pitot tube thingy sticking out of the front intake grill? The chopper was free. I was talking to a few guys at the local Mulholland hangout when the chopper guys asked me if I would like some aerial footage of my car, since they wanted to get some cool video for their portfolio....

ronin Posted August 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I did a photo shoot with Larry Chen of Speedhunters yesterday morning. Larry was going to have a Speedhunter writer add the story once the photos were picked but after I took him for a little 8 mi. canyon cruise he changed his mind,,, http://instagram.com/p/rNnfQuNudP/?modal=true To be honest I was shocked by his statement since he has driven in the in the fastest cars in the world.

Iconic Ride Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 If you look really really closely, Simon, you can just make out Frank's hand reaching out from under the front grill.

Bibs Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Ronin on Jay Leno's garage.

Loose Cannon Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's a hell of a creation, but just personally I'd want a bit more rollover protection in case it went flipside Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Grey Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I met him in Las Vegas for a Lotus Owners Gathering a few years ago, when the car was a grey Exige, and he was nice in person. A little brash, but nice as long as you didn't say anything bad about his car to his face... (always a good practice anyways) Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBD Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 I have never met Frank, but I wouldn't disagree that he is likely very nice when you meet him personally - in a very American way. Unfortunately his web vocabulary is pretty focused on four letter words, a bit shizoid (as most of us).

Guest surferphil Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 A nice bit of film and a good talk through the car, finally it all came together with the Drive (for a mainstream TV?). Now I can see you were very restrained on camera Frank, but were you tempted to slap Jay Leno's hand holding the gear knob all the time? (generally he didn't look like a good driver). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
