And back to the shed… admin, April 19, 2025April 19, 2025 We are back in the shed after the Moonraker adventure with the little Fiesta. I don’t know why it’s called little when it’s a lot more spacious inside than Macca’s Civic. Why are some things called “little” or “small” when they are measurable not? Also, why is a Wagon Wheel not …..muffled sounds of someone being dragged away from a keyboard…… [puts on posh voice and straightens tie] Apologies for the last outburst. The person has been “reminded physically” of the standards of this website and measures have been taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again. So, carry on…. So back to the Moonraker debrief. The Fiesta actually made it into the shed for a bit of an examination. We had to use the ground as a certain French vehicle was hogging the ramp. So, what did we find? Besides 27kg or so of dust that got EVERYWHERE, not much to be honest. Ya there are a few things to be tightened and tweaked but what’s new in forest rallying. There was talk of long things and roundy things but honestly, the words were far too technical for me. The only round thing I understand is a jammy doughnut. Custard ones should be banned also by the way ….[Editor here. Watch it bucko!]…. So, what’s next? There are rumours of a trip to Tipp in a few weeks so that’ll be fun. Oh, by the way. Some people (the one or two brave souls that visit here) spotted a Yaris in recent articles. Would you believe it survived it’s first Endurance Rally with Owen Murphy being guided by Patrick from this parish. They finished fifth overall. A good result I believe. Cars Damien Rallies

There’s a bit of a tarmac rally on next weekend, the fantastic West Cork Rally. Ya I know, tarmac. It’s far too nice and smooth for us to get involved (especially after that one time… Read More
We’re home after the fun at the Moonraker April 12, 2025April 13, 2025 Well, we made it home after the days fun in the Moonraker forest rally. The Fiesta survived and actually completed a stage or three under its own steam…. Things were going beautifully (as the video shows) on stage 1 until just after this video was shot. Damien caught the car… Read More
The RAC adventure is over November 29, 2023January 27, 2024 Well, it seems that the adventure to the RAC is over and most people made it home safe and sound from the event.
