Hang on, how did we get second in class? admin, June 25, 2023September 26, 2023 Something went wrong on today’s Moonraker Forest Rally. We got second in class 11F with Bitsy surviving, somehow….. Yours truly was stuck in service and I didn’t see any stages. The photo above was taken after a successful day in the woods for the Red Mist gang. Naturally, we had a few “incidents”. First was breaking ANOTHER headlight (they are almost consumable) and breaking a mudflap bracket off on Patrick’s side naturally. Naturally we had a fun day with plenty of help from the usual suspects. Joe provided actual technical knowledge and ability. Anna kept us on track and fed. Fiona also provided grub and had to make a dash for petrol. Damien dashed in during the day as he was only a part time helper. He was muttering something about a cable tie. As he was only a part timer today, we had a special chair set up in our picnic area. Bitsy before we set off for a day in the woods. Well, Bitsy is being shoved into the shed now and the fettling for Cork Forest Rally will commence shortly. Special thanks to PI Cycles, Mallow and O’Donovan Engineering, Coachford. Macca Rallies

I am lead to believe this due to shouting coming from the navigators. Yes, I said “navigators”, plural. Turns out that we’ll have Bitzy and her stablemate (more like shedmate), Damien’s Fiesty, should be there…. Read More
Its official. I can’t fit into a Fiesta….. April 5, 2025April 5, 2025 “Preparations” (and I use that word in the loosest possible fashion) are underway in the shed as the Moonraker is coming up fast. In a slight change, it’s not Bitzy that’s leading the Red Mist charge, it’s the Fiesta! Bitzy is still sulking in the corner as “someone” still hasn’t… Read More
Secret Engine Mount Design Testing May 30, 2024May 30, 2024 Yep, we are at it again, trying out some new engine mount design…. There’s no truth in the rumour that we just used a ratchet scrap and hung it off the strut brace while the gearbox was out. Speaking of gearboxes, it’s still out as the lower coolant hose is… Read More
