Prep for Cork Forest Rally underway…. admin, August 7, 2024August 7, 2024 Well, preparations for the Jim Walsh Cork Forest Rally are underway in the Red Mist shed. The rally is Sunday and the WhatsApp has started to wake up. The navigators are talking about time and distance schedules and other associated nonsense. It should be an interesting event as we’ll have two full “Red Mist” cars in Damien and Ian’s buses and one “temporary member” in Colin’s Fiesta. The seeding has Damien at 247, Colin at 238 and Ian at 223 so mark it into your schedules not to miss us. There’s rumours of nights spent watching videos of a car driving slowly. I’ve also heard something about “square left” and “oh, that’s a quare one!”. As for “preparation” for the event, if you want some idea of how it’s going, we asked “someone” to wash Bitzy and they missed just a little bit…. Damien’s Fiesty should have a lovely colour scheme but in a bit of a tease, we are not showing ye yet! In a little game, print out the picture below and colour it in… During preparation of the chariots, I washed the seats of the cars (yes I’m a detail freak). I’m not going to reveal who’s seat I washed to get this much crap out of. Answers on the back of a 50 euro note. The Bissell had to be rinsed due to the mud in the bottom of the wash tank.

And in breaking news from the Red Mist camp…. March 9, 2024March 10, 2024 Well, in breaking news, we have no news to report in the Red Mist camp.
