    Paul Carey of HRTA has very kindly offered up the chance to drive his Saracen APC with all funds going to the Santa Strike Force.


    For those of you who haven't seen one before the Saracen Armored Personnel Carrier looks like this:

    More details can be found on it here: http://www.military-vehicle.net/vcls/saracen.htm

    Rules:

    All bids must take place on this thread.
    All bids must be clear and concise. e.g. Bid: €10, not "ah sure ill throw ya a tenner"
    Closing time is midnight Friday 19th, bid time will be taken by the recorded time of the post.
    Driving will take place at HRTA, Ballyboughal in January (Date undecided yet, can be confirmed between the winning bidder and Paul Carey)
    Driving will not be done during a skirmish.
    Final amount must be paid either via Paypal or in cash to myself or Paul Carey by midnight Sunday 21st, if the winning bidder fails to pay, the next highest bid wins, if paying by paypal, you must add the required amount extra to cover Paypal fees.

    There will be 1 hour of time in the vehicle between training (it's not like driving a car) and actual driving around. This may not seem like much, but it actually is a good deal of time.

    All funds will be lodged directly into the Santa Strike Force bank account by myself along with the cash which was raised last Sunday evening at the Airsoft Beers.

    Any questions, please PM me.

    Good luck.

    Keith

    Its now announced site wide :)

    Yup, DeVore said he was going to publicise it a bit :)

    Try to keep conversation to a minimum in this thread though.

    Cheers


    *Update*

    Just noticed in the original post I didn't specify how long you get to drive for.

    There will be 1 hour of time in the vehicle between training (it's not like driving a car) and actual driving around. This may not seem like much, but it actually is a good deal of time.

    there must be a sizable sum heading to the SFF from the airsoft clan alone this year,


    Here she is in all her beauty.,:)
