In the light of our on-line escapades shoot I reckon we should try and organise a day of paintball for us that meet on-line. I'm sure there are some busy diaries so might have to be in few months time in order to accommodate everyone. Would be interesting to meet you lot and see who's really got the skills in pretend soldiering.

Find a place middle-ish of the country so is sort of equal travelling for all. Pick teams from a hat on the day, perhaps change it a few times so there's a different mix.

Gi jnr lives sort of in my area so can pick me up in the Fezza biggrin
Say end of March start of April?
Who's in?

We tried setting this up already (not sure if it went ahead as me moving to Germany last May meant I lost interest in the day out), have a looky at the GoW thread stickied for more info wink

Hmm, read the first few pages looked like it was a non starter. Nevermind.

We went paintballing in November. I had the bruises to prove it!

I've been tasked with the arranging the next one... Karting down this neck of the woods. I will kick it off next week on this thread: http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f...

PS: MK4, you're not invited. tongue out

lol, 2 hours in a kart...the arms will be clean out of you unless it's a nice forgiving track laugh

I've done 90mins in a kart and was glad when that was over and done with - trying to navigate my way home in the car afterwards was interesting to say the least laugh

The time in the kart doesn't bother as I have the endurance of an ox, but it's when I nearly crash due to forgetting I'm not actually in a kart and can't drift my car around corners...

To be sympathetic to the collective, we'll have a GP I think...

I wouldn't want to associate myself with you punks anyway rolleyeswink

Karting, where's this neck of the woods? I can't get on PH.com it's barred from work which is why I wasn't on for a week or so later last year. Until I discovered PH.co.uk FFS I'm really shit with computers.

So long as it isn't in Gloucester, the karts there are far too slow and it's just full of left hand corners. We are talking SW yeah?

Paste the link in your browser - replace .com with .co.uk and you're away.

I've also nearly had a post-karting incident, standing on the brake pedal kart stylee approaching a roundabout in my (first) clio. Still...focuses the mind!

Quailty. I drove up there once with a mate, got there it'd just closed frown It's not too far from me either so count me in as I'm inviting myself. I hope hotels aren't too expensive or I'm kipping in my Festa.

lol, last time I went "beering" in Bristol I woke up the next morning beside a decidedly tidy chick, only to be chased out of the house 20mins later my 3 rather mad brothers and 1 irate father...I was in the middle of bloody nowhere on a farm down near the airport...oh I did enjoy my time living down in Newport laugh

Non-starter my arse! I organised the last one I'm pleased to say.

http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t...

We had a special section Pistonheads to organise it in.
