Must do excursions in the UK

Paintballing is one of my favourite excursions; it’s exciting every time I go. It’s a painful activity, but it has a lot of team building activity spirit in it, you have to work together and be tactical. I get a proper buzz off the hype of running around and shooting my friends.

It’s also cool to share each other’s bruises after and you get some unforgettable stories to tell in the future. The best paintballing centres are the ones that are based outside, like Delta Force in Essex. I’ve been to one in-door centre in London Docklands, which was really good and for some reason it felt more painful.

My next choice would be Jet Skiing. It isn’t something you think of doing the UK, as the weathers not the great and the waters cold. But there are centres in the UK where you can go and Jet Ski and it’s an awesome experience. The cold water seems to add another element of excitement to the whole excursion.

This is one for the speed junkies out there and you have to be willing to get messy. Rage Buggy racing is adrenalin pumping fun; you will drift through mud and water, and then get covered in the stuff! You get to race into ditches and over ramps, which bounce the buggy off all fours and into the air. It’s a truly messy mad driving adventure.

Fast, furious and adrenalin filled. Zap Cat is almost like the street racing of the sea. You’re kitted up in wet suits and helmets, then placed in what essentially is an inflatable dingy, that is strapped with a super boat engine. You then pair up and race through the sea at high speeds and each time you throttle forward the boat front lifts to almost a 45 degree angle.

Lastly I think everyone should have a go at White Water rafting. It’s a total rush that challenges you physically and mentally. It will make you battle with any fear of heights or water you may have. It’s a team effort to battle through the rough waters. White water rafting tests your strengths in many ways but most importantly its fun and you’ll always cherish such an experience.

Brown is the new Black

The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black. My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should p...

I made a mistake while “designing” this car...

I’m always keen to check out the cars of the future, so when I hear about a new car being released I’m usually straight on Google searching for an image of the new car. And when it comes to cars with a prestige ancestry I usually get even more excited. Until recently, I’ve now started to think these “designers” are making a mistake and I wish I had pursued my dream career of being a car designer; maybe I could have helped the industry. I’ll start with my most recent disaster design. I’m a big BMW Fan and when they go and make things like the New BMW X1, it really breaks my heart and makes me feel sick. The BMW X1 is basically the 4x4 version of.....you guessed it, the BMW 1 Series! Why we need another rubbish 4x4 is beyond me. The next one almost brings me to tears and I’ve mentioned it before, the Aston Martin Cygnet. Why would Aston Martin even think about making this, it’s not even their own car design disaster! Toyota made the mistake and for some reason Aston...

Laziness or Genius – Honda’s Walking Assist

The world of Honda Innovations is a fascinating place. I recently came across this new invention and I had to really look twice to even accept that such an idea was thought up by somebody. At first I looked at it and thought, this is the world getting lazier by day. Surely we don’t need a machine to help us walk around; I thought we had the whole walking thing mastered centuries ago. The device didn’t look very attractive either and I couldn’t imagine seeing people walking around with a machine strapped to their legs. I thought I’d give the idea a chance and read further into the Walking Assist section on the Honda website. They claim this is a device to help people perform physically demanding activities, by making the body weight seem lighter. Effectively it helps reduce the load off your legs, while climbing up stairs, which apparently helps reduce fatigue and physical exertion. I suppose I can see the benefits of Honda’s Walking Assist, especially for people w...
