Moonraker report…. admin, April 18, 2026April 18, 2026 No, we are not gone to ground. Contrary to reports, we have not turned into hamsters. Some of us ventured above ground to go help out at the Moonraker. Myself and Macca went marshalling on stage 2 and 5, the Vee. The rest of the Red Mist crew were “otherwise… Continue Reading
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
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
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 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. Paul Casey was down to compete ably guided by Damien’s navigator, Vincy. We were going down to support and also to see how that Finnish guy with the father that drove for Peugeot 20… Continue Reading
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.
