Well, everything is ready and waiting for the Boggeragh Rallysprint in the morning in Red Mist land. That includes some unfortunate people associated with us and it means two Subaru’s and one Ford out tomorrow flying our flag…. Mr Shinnors and Mr Shinnors are bringing their Subaru and as usual…

The entry list for Cork Motor Club’s Boggeragh Rallysprint is out and we are gonna be busy bees. 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….

“Preparations” (and I use that word in the loosest possible fashion) are underway in the shed as the Moonraker is coming up fast. In a slight change, it’s not Bitzy that’s leading the Red Mist charge, it’s the Fiesta! Bitzy is still sulking in the corner as “someone” still hasn’t…
