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

The amount of tinkering however is small. I managed to change the pedals on the bike… Its the summer so we are all doing summer things,… Read More
Testing – Part Deux… July 24, 2024 Oh look at that, we’re gone all posh and brushing up on the ol’ french (and it has nothing to do with the webmasters upcoming holidays). Anyway, we embarked on some more “testing” of the two cars ahead of the upcoming Cork Forest Rally. Bitzy was awoken from its slumber… Read More
We are home from West Cork Rally. March 20, 2025March 20, 2025 Well, we are all home from Cork Motor Club’s fantastic West Cork Rally. Well, those that headed down are all home. Others, who shall remain nameless didn’t bother to go down (for shame, for shame). Damien and Macca went down to give Owen Murphy a hand and went doing gravel… Read More
