Title: [RoadTrip] Klash of the Spikes
Post by: Reinhold on July 11, 2010, 02:13:19 AM
I have been looking at some of the roadtrips over the last couple of months, and now i decided that it was my turn...

Nothing big and fancy, but we all gotta start somewhere :)

I bought a non working Generic cab at a Danish buy/trade/sell website...

The first arrangement was to pick it up Sunday 11/07/2010 but the weather looked like Rain and Thunder, so i called the seller and asked if he had a half a hour today when the weather was 30* outside...

The seller agreed if i could be there around 14:30

I took off pretty quick to make it... and here is the whole trip in Picture :)

Gotta' remember the basics :) (Mobile Phone with TomTom, Sunglases, Music and of course a sandwich)

12:44 and 144km to go...

Quick Stop, gonna need some cash for the cab...

Damn first Red light, and first red sports car of the day :)

It's 30+ outside today so i saw a lot of cars dealing with the heat...

And tires :(

Halfway at the "Lillebælts Broen"

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/009.JPG)
This Town name always seems to make people from other countries laugh :)

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/010.JPG)
Phew, the TomTom says i'm gonna make it in time :)

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/011.JPG)
Getting closer, the roads seems to get a lot smaller.

The destination town

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/013.JPG)
Isn't it idyllic?

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/014.JPG)
here it it, the generic cab from Compu-Game Denmark...

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/015.JPG)
Just waiting to get loaded into my Stretch Limo (It long and White, so it must be true) :)

Locked And Loaded

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/017.JPG)
With the 2 Neo-Geo Games (Power Spikes II) and (Kabuki Klash)

After the Pick up i desitet to take a 10min break at a local supermarket, to get come cold water and some diesel for the car...
just 10sec before i was going home, my mobile phone rang... it was, ****** (nahhh you can figure it out later down the page) ;)

Instead of driving home, i was now driving further north on "Fyn" following the coast...

Could it be?

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/026.JPG)
These two greeted me at the entrance.

If you guessed "The Shed" (Muerto Place) you got it right!

Ohhh yes, the Red Beauty, I Like ;)

Great time and great guys, talked for a couple of hours...

Going home i was wondering if one of the massive power lines, was going directly into "The Shed" ;)


(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/039.JPG)
Followed Muerto's advise, and took a small MacAttack trip...

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/040.JPG)
Come on, Come on, you call this Fast Food....? huh?

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/042.JPG)
Finally on my was back home with a little snack to keep me going, (thanks for the beverage Muerto)

Had to make it home quick (got 3 af my nephew's on holiday) and we were gonna make a fire and roast bread (some more burned than others) :)

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/045.JPG)
It's now around 23:30 and i was taking my friend Brian with me to help me unload the cab in my house...

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/044.JPG)
Uhhh Corvette (Homer drooling*)

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/046.JPG)
Cab unloaded...

(http://www.6670.dk/roadtrip1/047.JPG)
Testing the Cab...

The Seller said that there was a Ticking sound when he turned it on, (common problem with some of the screen boards)
Well i fired it up, no ticking sound, but wait, SMOKE, damn... turned it off.. the time is now over midnight so the problem must wait to another day...
But the 2 Neo Geo games worked 100% :)

Thanks again to Muerto for the drinks, and fun times, hope to see you irl soon again :)

Hope you all enjoyed the pictures...

Thx...  :D

Well, first off i'm gonna find out where the smoke i coming from  ::) ;D

The Wood on this cab is not that bad... so i think it's gonna run one of the pcb's i don't have in a cab already... (maybe keep the 2slot Neo Geo in it...)

And it's also way to "pretty" to paint and make a Mame out of... (got several other trashed generic cabs for that)

thx, and right back at ya' for the great forum :)

Ohh yeah it was soooo hot... There is no climate control in my VW T4 Transporter from 97'... :( but with both windows down is not that bad...

Yeah... Muerto has a great collection of "the classics"

The only real "classic" i have is my Centipede Cabaret under restoration (burn-in) (pcb broken) (water damage) :(

and then i got some "newer" arcades...
Cyber Cycles
Virtua Striker 50"
and a couple others...

But yes i definitely need more "classics"  :D
