Hi guys,
this is the story of my 1st roadtrip in another country, (oh, well we crossed almost all boundaries in central Europe, passing through Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Swiss and back to Italy), featuring 9 arcades pick up, with a great travel buddy: Marco (aka vernimark), the trip ended after about 3000km.
Everything started a couple of months ago when I decided to buy from DarthNuno one of my ever favourite games: BattleZone
, but the abundant snowfalls we had this year and some work related issues stopped me until the 2nd week of May...
Meanwhile, I heard on ArcadeItalia's board that another guy was looking for companion and planning an 'EuroTrip':
it was definitely THE SIGN OF FATE!!!
anyway this is the story of our trip:
8th of May 2014, around 9 am, departure from Trento (Italy)
heading to Berlin on route E45 [A22 Trento - Brennero - A13 Innsbruck]
We are on the right way
under an heavy rain, I was wandering... how many cabs can be powered up by these generators???
while Marco was driving on highway to Berlin on route 9 the dx deflector glass exploded
finally in Berlin, we found Thomas (and the 1st cabs' load) waiting for us:
- Omega Race cabaret (bsurfer)
- Circus (made in Italy with original boardset, for pieroandreini)
- Rally X cabaret (lutorkan)
- Olympia Caterpillar (vernimark)
- Olympia Vega (vernimark)
9th of May, about 7am heading to Bremen and it's still raining...
Marco fixed the glass with tape and a CD front cover, tested and working up to 120km/h
some load arrangement before the 2nd load:
and now it's time to pick up these cabs:
- Star Castle
- Omega Race ur
- Gyruss
heading to Arlone and time to sleep for a while...
...and to eat something
...naturally it's raining:
We arrived in Arlone, pause for a coffee with Bruno, what else?
Ah, time to pick up BattleZone and some nerd talk.
Bruno explaining me how Galaxian Theater works (after we played it
)
driving back to Home through Swiss:
we did it!
Finally @home:
The End (+2980km):
