That sounds like fun...but not enough fun to drive to Canberra.

Haven't been bowling for ages - one of those things you tend to do on holiday when it's raining and you've done everything else. Heaving something heavy as fast as you can to crash other things over is very therapeutic though....

Have fun guys and gals...

Same here. Sounds good idea and should have one in Melbourne . Have not bowl for months. Last time it was with my girls.

What is your highest score Dave? I only manage over 200 once in my life (pathetic I know). I do better in Wii sport bowling haha .

Oh crap, I'm not sure if I remember. About 230ish I think. All a fluke of course. I don't know what I'm doing - I just fling the thing down the alley.

I've done Wii bowling too - good fun. Ditto the tennis and boxing.

230ish is really good. That will have a 3-4 strikes in a row. Most of the time I can only manage 150ish , and I can spin, like driving I only manage to do it a few times.

Oh, I can definitely spin a car ok...

Yep, there were a few strikes in a row that round - I got on a roll - pissed my family off no end when I ran up and down the bowling centre highfiving strangers...

I don't know how accurate it is - sometimes its a bit dodgy and doesn't record the faster bowls - we found the fastest was 40.7 and sometimes it seemed faster than that but it didn't record.

Well its an open invite to all Mazda ppls - I should put it up on the rotor site too.
