    Colin McRae Funeral Service

    Don't know if this is the right forum - but I'll start it out here. BBC has a nice series of photos from the rally giant's service here:

    Wow! First I'd heard of it.
    He died, not behind the wheel, but in a helicopter crash. No surprise there...a helicopter is nothing but a screaming, spinning mass of metal fatigue with an oil leak, looking for a place to crash.

    There are two types of helicopters in the world:
    Those that have crashed...
    and
    Those that are going to crash.
    The floggings shall continue until morale improves.

    Watch it guys, he's probably a retired grunt from the 7th Cavalry, and just might know what he is talking about.

    It's still too bad about Colin McRae!

    I just realized that McRae is my clan.
    Still, out, standing in my field.
    Never do anything that you would not want to explain to the paramedics.
