Right, how to explain this…..

We are home from Killarney Forest Rally with a First in Class 11F and the Sligo Pallets “Drive of the day” award. The morning didn’t look like that would happen at all…..

The day got better when Colin Neligan and Eoin O’Donoghue grabbed third in class 11F. That bloody Fiesta is getting quick…..

Right, where to start…..

I got a message at about 6 in the morning (while cramming Cork Flakes into myself) that the day was over. There was a “technical issue” with a race suit and without a fully functional race suit, no race. After a series of phone calls and a dash here and there, a replacement was found (along with the details of someone’s tab with EARS in Mallow). Right rally on…..

During the day, there was some issues with a wire making its way out of the ECU which required someone to adopt an unusual position in the car in service.

Yep, that’s Daniel upside down in Patrick’s seat in an attempt to reach the ECU. Damien seems to have sent the brother in law down “for a look”. He was far too nice to tell us to bugger off. Result, we roped him in to help as he seems to understand technical things like what a spanner actually does…

Oh there were other issues such as a fierce banging in the back (loose jack!), electrical relays going missing, VTEC working whenever it wants (mainly on left hand bends), 2 inches of mud EVERYWHERE! and Paprika Pringles (they are officially weird)….

Ya, we are still pinching ourselves that they left us loose with the trophies and we actually won the class…..

Special thanks to PI Cycles, MCG Auto Styling and O’Donovan Engineering for their help in this mad escapade….

Right. Roll on Carrig and the next piece of madness for Bitzy in the woods……

Two action shots to finish from CianDon to finish (even though Bitzy is slightly off line)
