Had a top day today. Went Paintballing for the first time today.

However, as me and my 10 pals were there to celebrate my 30th there was a game near the end that unfortunately meant I got to feel the brunt of all their ammo eek

Using one of the game areas, the lined up down a path and i had to run down the middle, f***in' hell I got pasted. Oh and i was dressed up like a big pink fairy!!!

So far I have counted 37 bruises, which isn't to bad considering between them they had nearly 2000 balls.

Anyway, highly recommend paintball days, just purhaps not for your birthday as you get picked on at the end of the day, lol.

I went on one several years ago, for someone's Stag day. We were all in the pub later comparing bruises !! As I recall it was bloody expensive. Some spent £100 on ammo and that was about 10 years ago.

BTW - 30 - pah, I was 40 last weekend. Now that's old !!!

Could barely walk today, lol. Not good timing considering I had to use public transport for a 2 hour journey with plenty of walking involved.

Tony, still got my little baby. But it's decision time this week as Mortgage renewal/meeting is Thursday!! If all goes well and finances work out she will go up for sale so I can get the Vette. Although it will be hard to sell her as she is alot of fun.
What have you got now?

James,
Its a difficult decision isn"t it, I miss mine a lot ( M400) and am considering another.
I replaced it with a merc SL55 AMG, had a bit of engine work and now produces 600 bhp with 600+ ftlb of torque with full de-limit.
I will never sell it as it has everything I need in a car but just miss the handling of the noble.

Tony.

Tony, would be interested in what you had done, as it looks like we will be getting one of these soon, the other half was looking at a SL350 but think I have conviced her to go for the SL55 AMG smile.In the current market they are a bargin.

PS. James, stop being such a girl. biggrin
