    Go-karting. I have a thing against paintballing. It is expensive and often miserable. This may be associated witht he hangover I have had each time.
    Not around too often!

    Well, first off - because it annoys me, its 'Karting', not 'Go-Karting'

    Second, I'd vote Paintaball, because I've never done it, but for sheer fun, karting with half-decent karts (as in, not too much slower than a Rotax 125 etc) is unbeatable!

    Edit: and bugger, I just clicked Karting a voted for it, woops!

    From my experience of both: Paintballing everytime, hands down. No doubt. Don't do it drunk/hungover.

    Go karting if it's on a proper out door track with decent karts. Otherwise paintballing. You'll have fun doing either.

    Either.. paintballing gets rid of aggression but is pricey (every time you squeeze the trigger it's usually 6-10 pence! Ouch!) Karting I never found too satisfying but with the right bunch of folks it's a good laugh..

    Both have downsides

    Paintballing = Could be lame, if badly organised or you get juniors shooting u close range pre round, or ur gun clogs due to the awesome weather were having, and V expensive unless ur aloud to provide ur own balls

    Karting = Isnt many activities more fun than karting imo. It has one downside. The bang 4 buck is shocking. What is it these days? 30$ for 20 mins?

    Both good choices, I'd go with the paintball just because I prefer that although it would be easier to organise Karting, you could probably invite more people to do paintball. So depends on the numbers really. They are both great fun though.

    Probably paintballing . . . although I had a really bad experience once because my googles were rubbish and steamed up (the spray thing didn't work) . . . I ended up wandering to the neighbours farm just to take them off every 5 minutes. This is after getting hit in the head several times. Plus you do get some fannies.

    I actually prefer Go Karting, as it will just be between you and your mates, but it is ridiculously expensive. It's good when you have a lot of you and have a knock out event, or a grand prix so each of you have at least 2 goes in the karts. Spectating can be just as fun, especially if someone has very little awareness of space, speed and what the brake peddle does!
