We are home from West Cork Rally. admin, 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.

Another detailing brush sacrificed….. admin, February 2, 2025February 2, 2025 I embarked on a slightly overdue task and cleaned out the inside of the Fiesta last night. It was slightly overdue as I don’t think it was done since the Bushwacker, judging by the Asda water bottles I found under the navigators seat. Anyway, I commenced into the task with… Continue Reading
Home from the Historic Lakes Adventure ….. admin, November 30, 2024November 30, 2024 Well, the gang decided to head the Historic Lakes for a small bit of a look.

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.

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

They were ably assisted by… Continue Reading
