Using the ‘LIVE TRACKING‘ link above (or by clicking on the image at the top of this article), you’ll be able to see exactly where we or (or rather, were - 10 minutes ago).

The Launch - Faugheen, Tipperary - 13th July 2008
July 3, 2008
The official launch of this years T2 Rally, Tipperary to Timbuktu return, (via Hay-On-Wye in the UK cos it’s twinned with Timbuktu and we want to compare them!) is a go.
Slate Quarries Vintage Club, Carrick-On-Suir Motor Club and a host of local bike clubs in Tipperary are assisting our launch of this beast of a rally. We gather in Delaneys Bar near Faugheen on Saturday the 12th of July for a meet and greet with the clubs and to have time to take photos and talk to anyone who would like to know anything about the how, where, when and why that is the T2 Rally. No doubt this will result in some form of hoolie by the end of the night, and all are welcome.
We depart this fair and soggy Isle on Sunday the 13th at approx 2pm. The clubs and locals are giving us a convoy of cars, bikes and every other available contraption (we like your style!) to the Port of Rosslare. Here we’ll charge aboard the first capable looking boat bound for the UK and onwards to destiny! Read more
Special announcement!
June 28, 2008
Here at the Craic House we’ve just come out of a meeting of the five families, and have decided that it’s time we dropped one of our massive craic bombs.
The T2 Rally we know you’re already loving, it’s great isn’t it? but how could it be MORE great?
Well, you see… we haven’t told you the whole story. We’ve been holding out. We’re teases, and damn proud of it. It’s about time that we made a special announcement! Read more
Fun(d) raising
June 26, 2008
As the departure date draws nearer I’m finding myself with less free time to keep you lot up-to-date on our shenanigans, so by way of apology here’s some news about the first ever Craic Addicts AGM!
The weekend of June 14th-16th saw all the directors descend upon the Isle of Inis Mor for an all-out massive party! Read more
Bovine Bling
June 1, 2008
What do you get if you cross two less-than-sensible mentalists, 2.5 compressors, 10 litres of paint and flip lacquer, 8 miles of masking tape, 47 cups of tea, and six acres of old newspaper? The worlds first blue-flip friesian Morris Minor with teeth!!
After a mammoth 40 hour paint fume consumption session, Team Suspect Devices rallybeast Humphrey is now sporting his new look. One compression calved, thunder storms knocked off our electricity twice, we forgot to eat for an entire day and we have made up a new language. We ran out of paint twice and butchered 2 compressors to make bits for the third. Read more
