Shed update…… admin, November 10, 2024November 10, 2024 Well, it’s about time that I fired up an update on what’s happening in the shed to the “fleet”….. First, the Fiesty. There was a slight “accident” when Damien jacked it up and the Reigers fell out. Well, they may have been “helped” out as Damien was being Damien and… Continue Reading
Back to the shed after an early bath….. admin, October 6, 2024October 6, 2024 Well, the lows of motorsport have just been experienced in the Red Mist camp at yesterday’s Clare Forest Rally. We had to be collected out of Stage 2 after the engine stopped at location 8…… After getting Bitzy back to service, the mechanical geniuses of Damien and Joe (ably assisted… Continue Reading
Start of the road trip. admin, September 19, 2024September 19, 2024 Well, it’s the start of the road trip up north for the Bushwhacker. At the moment, there’s last minute packing (Macca would forget his head if it wasn’t attached to the rest of him) and inputting directions into Google Maps. We are numbers 85 and 88 so do wave when… Continue Reading
Roll on the whacking of the bush….. admin, September 17, 2024September 17, 2024 Its almost time for the Red Mist venture “up north” for the Bushwhacker. In a change to last year’s event, carrots are off the menu as there’s no night stages this year (boo hoo!). However, it does mean that Bitzy won’t get to munch on plastic coated copper this year…… Continue Reading
International Adventure Preparations admin, August 22, 2024August 22, 2024 We have already started on the preparation for the international rally adventure when we embark on a road trip to compete in the North.

A tale of a sticker….. admin, August 18, 2024August 18, 2024 Well, let me tell ya about the new Red Mist door bar sticker that was launched at Cork Forest Rally and it’s design. It’s a tale of intrigue, beguile cunning and someone just deciding everyone else is wrong… Well, we decided to have the world debut of the new Red… Continue Reading
Home from Cork Forest Rally. admin, August 14, 2024August 14, 2024 We are home now from the Cork Forest Rally. In the best Red Mist tradition, we have shoved the cars into the shed, closed the door and walked away. Well, we tried to shove the cars into the usual shed but in a strange tale, a certain Fiesta hasn’t made… Continue Reading
Another very successful day in the woods…. admin, August 11, 2024August 11, 2024 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… Continue Reading
Testing – Part Deux… admin, 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… Continue Reading
Damien’s New Fiesta! admin, July 3, 2024July 3, 2024 Well, as some may have figured out, Damien’s new bus is Ford Fiesta shaped…. We have been putting in some testing, fettling and exploring what all the buttons do. “Testing” involved a gentle trundle up a bit of a gravel road to see what would happen…. In good news, nothing… Continue Reading
