Home from Cork Forest Rally. admin, August 14, 2024August 14, 2024 We are home now from the Cork Forest Rally. In the best Red Mist tradition, we have shoved the cars into the shed, closed the door and walked away. Well, we tried to shove the cars into the usual shed but in a strange tale, a certain Fiesta hasn’t made it home but got “diverted” to Limerick.

Plenty carrots were eaten beforehand and the sumpguard light (see previous update) did it’s job. Thats Bitzy in action on stage 2. The biggest drama was some idiot spectator who “parked” (dropped more like it!) blocking in about 60 spectator… Read More
Hang on, how did we get second in class? 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… Read More
