The hunt for the 10mm continues admin, March 7, 2026March 7, 2026 Typical. “Someone” claims to have dropped a 10mm socket “in the engine bay” and this is the result of the hunt for that damn elusive socket! Now, I can’t confirm the rumour that that the socket was lost elsewhere but the hunt has been long, extensive and frustrating. We found… Continue Reading
Someone WASTED a chocolate flapjack…. admin, February 9, 2026February 9, 2026 Ya, “someone who shall remain nameless” (but their name rhymes with tacca) COMPLETELY RUINED a nice chocolate flapjack. We were taking a coffee break at the shed when a box of flapjacks was produced. This individual then greedily grabbed the ONLY chocolate flapjack in the box, took a nibble, declared… Continue Reading
We have a winner of the Red Mist Trophy…. admin, January 1, 2026January 1, 2026 And it’s Damien & Vincy! The trophy was constructed by bolting a rather precious B16 rod & piston (it’s one Macca put a hole in) to a piece of scrap timber. We were all out at the Cork Motor Club’s Boggeragh Rallysprint and Damien & Vincy were the fastest out… Continue Reading

In no particular order, Joe Shinnors is in car 18, guided by Patrick O’Sullivan (looks like Patrick has moved on from Macca, he’s probably better off). He’s out in a Subaru Impreza…. Continue Reading
Things actually move in the shed…. admin, December 19, 2025December 19, 2025 We cam confirm that the rumour that nothing moves in the Red Mist shed isn’t true. The reason for saying this is that the Fiesta went from one side of the shed and onto the ramp. As for the reason, would you believe that the car is due out shortly…. Continue Reading
Things are stirring in the shed….. admin, October 8, 2025October 8, 2025 Well, things are starting to stir in the shed would you believe! We all kinda took a bit of a break from looking at spanners in the shed and it was worth it. However, the stirring is slow, very slow as we’ve gotten used to not being in the shed…. Continue Reading
Another successful day in the woods. admin, August 11, 2025August 11, 2025 We had another successful day in the woods yesterday at Cork Forest Rally. Given the musical chairs that took place behind the scenes and the last minute deputisation, finishing was going to be considered a success…..

Cork Forest Rally here we come? admin, 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…. Continue Reading
Movement in the shed…. admin, May 24, 2025May 24, 2025 Well, there’s been some movement in the shed. The Fiesta has half made it’s way into the “abandoned corner” currently occupied by the Civic. Well, at least it moved….. We’ll start shortly getting things ready, we promise! There’s rumours of bits after being ordered (from where I don’t know) and… Continue Reading
