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

We are embarking on the first Forest rally of 2024 and you never know, we might actually finish this time.

Cork Forest Rally here we come? August 4, 2025August 4, 2025 Well, as I type this, the ol’ WhatsApp is spouting noises about the Cork Motor Club’s fantastic Forest Rally next weekend. It seems that one car will make it alright. One car is currently in 10 billion pieces scattered from here to there. The other car is currently in Limerick…. Read More
Ah we should have paid more attention in school….. May 9, 2025May 9, 2025 In not surprising news, we learned last night that we should have paid more attention in school. Damien, for some ungodly reason, decided to “check the tracking”. That resulted in Daniel measuring things, muttering numbers and doing maths on the back of a page of pacenotes. We heard the mutter… Read More
