Bitzy in bits (again!) admin, May 19, 2024May 19, 2024 Bitzy is in bits again due to someone decreeing that the lower coolant hose needed to be cleaned so half the car came apart to get to it. Yep, the so-in-so of a webmaster (who only does a half arsed job of cleaning) decided that the lower coolant hose needed to be cleaned and that the gearbox was in his way. Result, the gearbox “had” to come out…. We have started out “preparations” for Cork Forest Rally (hence the lower coolant hose cleaning) and have managed to get the car out of its hiding place and in place to be stared at until two nights before the rally. The reason things have started early, Bitzy’s hiding place has been taken over by something and Bitzy got evicted. We managed to get a (not very) revealing photo of the offending vehicle. It doesn’t help that there was a Ford Ka stashed in Bitzy’s other resting place (poor Bitzy)! Cars Macca Rallies BitzyCars
