      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.

      We are home from the Cork Motor Club’s Jim Walsh Cork Forest Rally with more silverware. Also, it was a very successful first run for Damien’s new Fiesta. The gang of people hanging onto the spanners were Joe, Mike and Daniel providing actual technical ability. They were ably assisted by…

      Well the Cork Motor Club forestry rally sprint was a massive success for all 3 of our competing crews on Tuesday. All arrived home with no damage and after a fantastically close battle together. Well done to Damien O Donovan and Vincent Goggin in their 1600 R2 fiesta, on taking possession of the stunning and brand new redmist motorsport trophy, which will hereafter go with the fastest redmist crew on any event more than one of us compete. They were followed only a few seconds back by 2 Subaru gc8s. One was the father and son team of Jason coulter and Ryan Coulter. Jason not having competed in 4 years and Ryan never having competed. Joe shinnors jnr and Patrick O Sullivan next in a constantly self developed Subaru were next after a day of on the limit effort.the rest of us checked things which we knew didn't need checking and all of us ate the sandwiches and tea wherever they were available. Anna Hartnet, Lorraine Coulter and Fiona o brien kept everyone going in spite of mentioning they were cold now and then. Darragh Murphy for his help all day.Well done all. ... See MoreSee Less

Come along on the 29th of December to watch us try to work off the turkey....Sneaky edit after someone pointed out I'm an idiot for forgetting Jason Coulter is competing also guided by Ryan. It's Ryan's baptism of fire in the passenger seat. Sorry Mr Coulter... ... See MoreSee Less
