And we are off to Killarney ! admin, February 17, 2024February 17, 2024 Well, Castleisland more like it! We are embarking on the first Forest rally of 2024 and you never know, we might actually finish this time.

And he broke it again! admin, February 14, 2024 Geez that Admin is a right fool. He managed to break the site AGAIN and this time is was the anti-spam plugin that wasn’t compatible with the PHP update. Ya, the feckin’ Anti-Spam plugin that seemed to attract more spam. Anyway, we have MOST DEFINITELY taken away his ability to… Continue Reading
Ah feck – a Spring Cleaning…… admin, February 13, 2024 Well, someone left the Admin loose on the site again for a few minutes and what do you know – there’s a new “fancy pancy” look to the site. No doubt the admin buggered it up again. Given the experience of the last time he was left loose on the… Continue Reading
Killarney Forest – Will we make it? admin, February 5, 2024 “Preparations” (and I use that term in it’s loosest possible meaning) are somewhat underway for Killarney Forest Rally. As you can see, we have all the tools required for cramming the gearbox back into Bitzy. If anything gets in the way, it’s either cut or bashed out of the way…. Continue Reading
We are home from the 1000 Shakes….. admin, January 21, 2024January 27, 2024 Well, we made it home from the 1000 Shakes Night Navigation Trial ran by the Cork Motor Club. We were watching Car 4, piloted by Gar Collins and “ably” guided by our own Patrick O’Sullivan. They finished sixth overall and second in class. Damien and Macca were “doing” recovery for… Continue Reading
And it starts again…. admin, January 14, 2024January 27, 2024 Just a brief note to say that activities have recommenced in the shed and fettling of the cars have commenced. Bitzy is in about 10 million bits scattered from here to there. Progress was made as I cleaned the lower coolant hose, despite the engine being held in place with… Continue Reading
And we are home from Boggeragh…. admin, December 29, 2023January 27, 2024 We are home from the Cork Motor Club Christmas Forest sprint up in the mountains in Boggeragh. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, we were not competing. Something called “work” got in the way and there was one crew member at “work”. I’m not saying that any actual work… Continue Reading
Christmas Plans. What plans? admin, December 20, 2023January 27, 2024 Its that time of the year again. The time where we eat our body weight of turkey and chocolate. We are threatening to do the Cork Motor Club Boggeragh Sprint. We are having trouble with some widgit or something oily I’m lead to believe. I reckon I’m been told porkies…. Continue Reading

The end of an era….. admin, December 11, 2023January 27, 2024 Well, it’s my sad duty to report that it’s the end of an era. I’m heartbroken to report that my little HP laserjet 1010 printer has died after years of dedicated motorsport service. It was one of the first “home office” laser printers. I bought it in about 2008 for… Continue Reading
