I don't know who is more famous Ralph......the damn car, McRae or me.......its a hard one to call that.

I reckon I will have McRae coming back a porn star but there we go.........who says you can't teach a old dog new tricks! :p

In all honesty, I don't think the site is ready for this yet. Having been on the .org one for sometime it is somewhat hard to police and also difficult to know where to draw the line. There is a fine line between banter and tongue in cheek bullying evident over there, only the smilies tell you otherwise ;)

I agree, there are times when we would like it, but I think it would run away. Never say never, but not at this time chaps and chapesses.

The team have discussed this, we may decide to run a trial version sometime in the future to gauge reaction and to see what gets posted and how or if it offends.

Cheers

It can be a very dodgey road to go down, as I use this site at work and the regulations are very tight. I am very careful not to open up certain threads, as the policing could permantly block me from using whilst at work & has in the past on other sites used by other people at their workplace resulted in their 'termination'.

You think I couldn't see this! Well, luckily for me Karen has internet too! We are getting on fine and so is McRae..........Karen says "If anything, McRae is the frisky one!"

:huh: what don't I know about? :unsure:

It's all good folks but my phone is nearly dead :(

Looking forward to the Kent Meet though dudes! :p

A few words from Karen now to you dirty bastards!

Hey Jimbo

Great to hear from you mate :D so how is the lovely Karen ;)

You have done well not to come on here whilst away!

I suspect you have been otherwise busy ;)

RalphG
15-10-07, 09:43 PM
Karen's taught you how to drive on the correct side of the road?

stamford
15-10-07, 09:48 PM
and it's made her laugh too!

Boot Hill Bandit
15-10-07, 09:58 PM
It's all good thanks dudes :D

Karen has taught me lots :) It's been lots of fun during my stay and I am well worn out. The car has been fantastic over here and we should take a poll on how many speeding tickets I have accumulated :) Best part is the huge long tunnel we drive through.....3rd gear and nail it! the souns is absolutely amazing! :D

Karen has just reminded me :blush: I have lost control once coming up a slip road.....50mph sideways and heading for a road sign.....I saved it though of course :oops: well!!!! what do you expect! I am The Bandit! :D LMFAO! Apart from that its been great........2 cars leafleted.....a MGF and a Rover Streetwise....

That McRae is a frisky ******* too! :D

I would love to bring her back but to be honest.....I am hoping my car breaks down so I can't leave...

It's holding out at the minute though so there we go........well done Ralph's lads on putting it back together good ;)

Is his pet passport up to date??? :bike:

RalphG
21-10-07, 12:50 AM
Passport? He doesn't have one at the moment, not has he got one of those chips in his neck. Don't let customs give him a BCS - he's been violated enough already!

McRae likes Chinese and Pizza generally........although I am sure he will eat anything.

Word of warning.........he often sits watching you when you don't want him to.....oh and he's a bit frisky, men or women he's not fussed......I have the photographic evidence of his bad behaviour with me at Stavanger ferry terminal....... :lttd: bad doggie! :whip:

I will give him a light bath before I pass him on as well......he's been everywhere and is looking a little dirty (he certainly has a dirty mind as well)

Seat confirmed for mutt. Winalot for nosebag & jetlag getover cure.

Will take him gambling & drinking!!!, plus the wedding of course (with Elvis).

He had better behave himself, cause Greenland can get very cold, especially been thrown out at 35k feet!!! :dawgie:

-53oC at 35K... i don't think he notice the cold much by the time he arrived in Greenland. ;)

Request......

I have a lot of 'McRae On Tour' photos that Karen and I have compiled together......would it be possible to have a McRae On Tour section just for uploading pictures??

The 'chat' could continue here as per normal but just an uncluttered 'pictures' page I think would be good.

My only other thought is that Ralph and I could make up a page over time and find a way to link it to the site.

It's just me talking aloud but would like to know what the mods think about it. For now I will work on the remaining photos we have and start uploading them into this section.

Thanks

Smitten Jim

Pop them all into a new thread and we'll lock it for you. ;) Then when you need more added we'll open & lock it again or merge the photo threads.

Sound OK?

23-10-07, 12:28 PM
The photos posted so far are all in one of my Webshot albums (http://travel.webshots.com/album/560957761eTIjWF?vhost=travel)

If people send their photos to me (with a sort description) I'll add them to the album. Another option is that I could set up a gallery on the EMS website (http://www.mgr-service.com/index.htm) for McRae.

Boot Hill Bandit
23-10-07, 12:35 PM
Thanks both of ya :D I have updated with some more pictures in my original thread in this section. I need to speak to Karen really and see if she will allow me to post up some of McRae with the both of us as there are some good ones there too.

It's your little doggie originally Ralph......feel free to use my pictures on your website bud I have no problems with that :)

Amanda just wasn't interested in McRae unfortunately. He wasn't her 'type'.

Unfortunately for me throughout the whole of the Holiday McRae made various 'advances' towards Karen which I thought was a bit much :no: but I soon put him in his place......well........he didn't exactly stay put on the cabin roof for very long as he fell off being a bit 'top heavy'.

It was a fantastic experience in Norway made even better by Karen and a little special with McRae to keep us entertained.

I am sure McRae's adventure to Las Vegas will be a bit more colourfull and showbiz than Norways 'au naturel'....chalk and cheese really but there we go.

Roll on to Saturdays Kent Meet for the start of McRaes new adventure!
