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….. Well, in (not so) shocking news, of course Joe & Vincy finished, and just… Continue Reading
Well, we have some changes….. admin, August 6, 2025August 6, 2025 No doubt the one or two people to actually read this may have been wondering what’s up with the Cork Forest Rally and the Red Mist entries. Well, , there’s been some musical chairs…… Turns out Damien has something called “work” meaning he can’t compete. Rather than leaving his entry… Continue Reading
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
‘Tis quare quiet here….. admin, July 19, 2025July 19, 2025 Jeepers it’s very quiet here at the moment. There’s nothing at all happening. The rally cars are gathering dust in the shed, despite Damien’s blowing some of the cobwebs off in Mayo. He was joined by Joe Shinnors for the exercise. There’s no other scandal at all in Red Mist… Continue Reading
Ah, how did we get second in class? admin, May 11, 2025May 11, 2025 Well, Damien and Vincy are back from their jaunt around the woods and somehow, they got second in class 11F! Oh what a fun day it was and even I’ve no idea how Jason was presenting the awards to Damien and Vincy…… The day didn’t start too well. Thanks to… Continue Reading
Ah we should have paid more attention in school….. admin, May 9, 2025May 9, 2025 In not surprising news, we learned last night that we should have paid more attention in school. Damien, for some ungodly reason, decided to “check the tracking”. That resulted in Daniel measuring things, muttering numbers and doing maths on the back of a page of pacenotes. We heard the mutter… Continue Reading
And back to the shed… admin, April 19, 2025April 19, 2025 We are back in the shed after the Moonraker adventure with the little Fiesta. I don’t know why it’s called little when it’s a lot more spacious inside than Macca’s Civic. Why are some things called “little” or “small” when they are measurable not? Also, why is a Wagon Wheel… Continue Reading
We’re home after the fun at the Moonraker admin, April 12, 2025April 13, 2025 Well, we made it home after the days fun in the Moonraker forest rally. The Fiesta survived and actually completed a stage or three under its own steam…. Things were going beautifully (as the video shows) on stage 1 until just after this video was shot. Damien caught the car… Continue Reading
Unusual Last-minute Moonraker Preparations admin, April 11, 2025April 11, 2025 There was some rather unexpected “last minute” jobs that had to be done before the Moonraker Forest Rally on Saturday. Somehow, they involved fitting a sump guard to a Yaris…. I have no idea why that had to be done. As it was miles above my technical ability, I just… Continue Reading
Its official. I can’t fit into a Fiesta….. admin, April 5, 2025April 5, 2025 “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… Continue Reading
