hello folks and arcade lovers,
another weekend - another roadtrip (at least one being documented today).
Recently on dragonslair there was a quest...a quest for arcade youth?!?
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=5410.0![](http://knagge.com/dragonslair/trier2/lLife-street.jpg)
It's true that every man needs a Mrs...and while I'm in redundance on Midway cabs I heard the cry of the cheerleaders:
![](http://knagge.com/dragonslair/trier2/life1.jpg)
and offered help on this one....
I'm working on your mission...do I get one of the cheerleaders then? lol
you get them all. the original ones from that picture. i promise!
WORD.
![Grin ;D](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
So...let's start this roadtrip....400km straight southbound following Autobahn 1 to the lovely city of Trier.
Anybody want to join? Lucy?

"Wuff....Sorry...I have a bad back...."
![Shocked :o](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
Ok. I daresay the dog's answer so once again a lonely wolf back on the road.
Preparations on Saturday evening:

"Why is there always a cab in my car? Go get out of here!"

exchanged with the right one.

With a last minute message from Bruno if I could bring something for him in addition and while real Cowboys normally don't wake up before 10:00am, I visited a local collector buddy who only lives 30 minutes away in the nice city of Oldenburg in the late evening.
"Jörg - I heard you have a Daytona Topper left?"
"Howdy, yeeehaaaa. Come in but keep your pants on because of the horses"

Remember: The time your arcade cabinets move out (into a museum) you need to find a new solution for the former gameroom. Seems he found a better way than my parents (my kid bedroom is now an ironing board room).
Unfortunately that heavy beast didn't fit beneath the Ms. And while having a couple of monitors in addition on the seats...it was impossible to take it with me. I'm REALLY SORRY BRUNO
![Cry :'(](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
(and Jörg pretty sure, too

(this is the last roadtrip for this car anyway...)
Another day after a cup of coffee time to leave.
I remember the route very well and the surroundings/landscape (worked for the local tourist bureaus twice as often in the past)....and hence this forum has an education purpose (in special for our teachers here
![:wink:](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/icon_wink.gif)
) time again for some history lessons and culture of my country.
Nearby the city of Trier is a region, well known for it's castles:

Ruin of Manderscheid
in addition of course for its river Mosel and the wine:

and last but not least....which you might didn't know of its VULCANOS

We call them MAARE over here and some of these are still active....although they didn't shoot the bull for hundreds of years.
At 12:00 - in time for lunch - I arrived at Trier. We all know the place...that roman gate...and the opposite....so why not take a rest on the top of the sky:

Beautyful view on the roman church.
But...churches back and roman history forth...this is not we came for. You know why?

As real Men do when talking about girls we found a gentleman agreement on the Lady in Pink .....and that's what I got :

They belong together (Andre - no offense
![Tongue :P](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)
)...for gods sake Stefan has kept one for himself....
Lets place this beauty in the shop:

"Oh no! It's full of Ghosts already?!? Beautyful cabinet...and so looking nice once cleaned
![Roll Eyes ::)](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
Let's hope that lift is coming closer otherwise there will be not much left of the store besides cabs...(not soo bad if you want my opinion

Once again we exchanged some presents (+ the monitors from Wurstkopp taken a few weeks back):
![](http://knagge.com/dragonslair/trier2/trier9.jpg)
Nice artwork!*
and then I already had to leave...another 4 hours north....arriving at my garage unloading:

and placing in my storage unit which is more safe than other storage rooms I have heard about

In the front: Sega Rally left and right side for another forum member taken from Nozomi a few weeks back....in the back to the left (2nd room)...all the stuff from that barn raid waiting for container lovers to be picked up soon....if there's a pick up date for the container at all
![Kiss :-*](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/kiss.gif)
With 3 Midway cabs, a couple of southern Radlers and coffee, nice talks and 880km in total, this roadtrip is officially over.
Mission accomplished.
![](http://knagge.com/dragonslair/trier2/life2.jpg)
But one question is still left: WHERE ARE MY CHEERLEADERS?
![roll eyes :roll:](http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/Smileys/default/icon_roll.gif)
*anybody interested in a group buy?
