See, this is just another reason why I need to go back to England. First there was Tanks-a-Lot (www.tanks-alot.co.uk although their site appears to be down) where you can drive around retired English army tanks. I first heard about Tanks-a-Lot on American Chopper when the Teutels went to England. The episode pops up on DiscoveryHD every so often, if you have DiscoveryHD you should watch for it…

But this, this is something even better. In a field in Leicestershire you can play paint ball WITH TANKS!!!!! :D :D

The good folks at Southfields Farm are offering two hours of tank warfare for just 79GBP or $148. Now it may seem like a lot of money for two hour of paintball, but did I mention you get to drive TANKS!!!!! (www.funday.com)

Each battle consists of two tanks, each with a crew of three plus an observer/instructor. Your ammunition is ping pong balls filled with paint fired at 300 feet per second, because of that battles are conducted with the hatches closed ;)

Rumor has it that they have a paintball bazooka and paintball airstrikes in the works as well
