LOL, wondered when you'd turn up

Yeah, wondered the same myself. But you can trust if there is ever a topic getting a bit to hot he will pop on in!!!

I think it's all Mr C's fault..he's been here from the start and caused it by telepathy..

LOL, wondered when you'd turn up

The funny thing is that I viewed it when nobody had replied, rolled the old eyes and went back to work. Then I came back and you'd played the role of helper monkey and typed up all the common sense old fart stuff that normally comes to mind, it was like having an assistant

But then I remembered the cool Porsche video so couldn't resist posting it.

I can't help being sensible!

Bad week & normality...?

That's how things are here on Imoc. We have a laugh with each other and have been doing since the days of Yahoo groups back in'99.

Being a newb I guess you didn't realise that.

Oh well, welcome to the club, try not to slag off the members who have been around for years and you'll get along fine....

Oh, and shouldn't this post be in "Driving Experiences - Tales of driving experiences you have had"? Numbnut!

FYI I've been using IMOC for over a year to find information on 2's before I bought one. Judging by your own "joining date" you only got here a few weeks before me.

R.

That's because the forum in this incarnation has only been open since mid December - hence all members had to rejoin. As I was away on honeymoon on the exact start date I joined the day I returned.

Anyways......

I had figured that one out. I am all for the new system as the original one was a bit antiquated.

I didnt start this thread to turn it into an assault. I only wanted to share a video I made with other MR2 enthusiasts. I've posted it lots of other sites too where other users have done the same. Fraz (the lad with the Evo) posted it on the MLR (Mits Lancer Register) and there wasnt any negativity there so I thought it would be alright to do the same here. It was the first bit of snow I've been able to take the 2 on and had a good laugh in relative safety.

Mr Canny!

Haha,

Happy to assist you, now go format your harddrive of all them dangerous driving video's

By the way, where were you on the North V's South thread - you were called for...

Your must have the biggest bookmark folder in history. For any topic you can post a pic or a vid!!

Rikki, I wasn't being negative with you, I was having a laugh as I'm at home watching over a crazy toddler who loves Balamory (set in Scotland, based on a real town I believe).

Then I was laughing at your video whilst she's watching CBeebies in the background, I thought the video was funny and exactly the sort of thing that I used to get up to.

So I posted a gag about Balamory and you call me a troll and take the attitude with me....

Now give us a kiss you Scots pansy

I thought your Balamory post was saying that my antics were equivelant to that found in a kids TV program. Ah the wonderful interweb and its mixed meanings.

If you want to see snow driving in the extreme check this DVD out : http://www.dukevideo.com/products/BP001D.htm

I got it a few years ago and it opened my eyes up a bit.

And they all lived happily ever after

[Kieron]

I'm trying to get over Michael Canny's Porsche video going round the Nurbourgring (spelling) at high speed in the snow!

I wish they would show some cars doughnutting in Balamory, make it slightly more interesting (especially when you are forced to watch the very same episode again at 2pm that was on this morning or face the wrath of a screaming 2 year old for touching "her" television.....

[Goto10]

Jeez Rikki, that was a good demonstration of over reacting! Someone was poking fun at you - if your ego was bruised by that then you really need to stop posting on forums and make more videos instead, you're less likely to have your feelings hurt that way.
It happens all the time, you can tell when someone's being 'nasty' - Kierons post was *clearly* light hearted.
If that's the way you interact with people then you'll find this board hard going.

Edit: I see all's well now (note to self, I really should read full topic before replying) - the above still applies to every member of IMOC though

Balamory is actually on The Isle of Mull and its a really nice place. been there in the harbour having a cold beer watching the world go past. Scotland is just such a wonderful place when it stops raining :D

What you reckon Rikki? Rather live here than clogged roads down south?


We've had a few meets organised through mr2oc over in edinburgh, badboyturbo (BBT) usually posts info about them, see the thread in events on here as they are now being cross posted

Hey Rikki,
Thanks for posting the vid. I know it doesn't take a massive amount of skill to spin a MR2 in the snow, but I enjoyed it all the same. You don't get that many MR2 vids from members, so cheers. If it's got an MR2 in it, then it's ok by me.

Interesting thread, tho'.

I thought it was quite an ok video.
(Someone enjoying an MR2 and no one getting hurt)

It's a shame the thread went a bit 'boobs up' cos of a misunderstanding.

Oh well, never mind - water under the bridge I hope.

Looked like fun

Must admit the roads from Dumfries down the way seem to be really good compared to our patchwork quilts but I dont think I'd move daan saaaf even tho the bird moved up from Lincolnshire to Scotland

PS: Missed a good laugh today at the Glasgow TOC meet loads of MR2s Supra's etc then into the city centre for a bit.

[Sidewinder]

Going back on topic for a minute ( )...I thought the video was a bit of a laugh, and and as Jon S said, no one got hurt.

We don't see many MR2 videos on here, so it's always nice to see something new.

[Flash]

looks like fun, i was having fun on the single track roads near me this morning, nothing to hit but a muddy field

hmmm, probably a good idea to think about doing a trackday.

Does your car have a dump valve?
