Unfortunalty, i can not find anyone to help to bring it inside ,not even a friendly neightbour :( so I got no choice to leave it outside for this night.

And to add up,the ex owner of my house broke into my garden and rob the kid's swing.. So I needed to complains to the police and check for witnesses.

If you wonder why I post so early,it s not that I couldn't sleep having the cab outside, but I have to pickup a relatives in Brussels airport... But still I checked the cab :):):)

As in the old saying: the waiting is the best part... NOT!
(sorry to hear about the troubles with your ex-owner).

I hope you invited your relatives to your home so they could help you, in return for picking them up from the airport ;) ;) ;)
(Esp. fun if they have a huge jet-lag) :P

it's my wife'aunt from new jersey coming for my son's 1st bday, 60 years old and 1,4 meter tall , definetly not the body for our hobby  ;D ;D ;D

I finaly succeeded to get the smgp cab inside, as it was no way it'd spend another night outside. So thanks to a great neightbour who came to the rescue and my brother in law (level42: it's my buddy for the powerdrift rt ).Unfortunalty i forgot my digital cam at my dad's house last easter, so pictures are taken with a crap cam. No pictures of the transfert to the garage , as our 6 arms were all busy :)

so gentlemen , here's my austiran beauty  :)



unavoidable yellowed marquee




right side is complete but a bit damaged, left side is in better shape but missing a part. but All in all , it'd be possible to scan and redo them :)


some wood damage at the back


sitting next to her dutch brother ;)


overall in really great condition, i didn't turned it on yet because of her crazy humid night out yesterday, and i still need to change the power plug (seems we are the only contry with round plug requiring a ground pin). Level42 don't forget that for Eurocade :)

thanks again Ully to make a dream comes true (c) disney   :D

....which shows he's a bad salesman, as he should have politely help him....who knows, maybe he was coming back for a Testarossa after the McDonalds and was he "testing" the salesman :P

I first thought that "marquee" (it's cool by the way) was a gold color, but I guess it used to be white ? There is an explanation to "fight" that yellowing somewhere on the internet....don't have the link right here...

Indeed a good tip about that Krousti, had forgotten. It has annoyed me several times when I was either in Belgium working on machines or buying machines from Belgium to try them here....I remember a certain warehouse raid ;)

Anyway, as long as you use these kind of plugs:


on your machine you can use them everywhere in Europe (except some strange islands of the coast of course :P :P :P ;) ;) ;))


Only Belgium and France still have that strange extra grounding pin....time to UNIFY friends ! :D

No, it should be white (maclaren marlboro colours). if i want to get it white, i'll have to destroy the stickers (paint or i need to dip it in a chimic bath) :<

EDIT : just noticed the post of lonewolf, the plastic recover product is retr0bright  http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/

I never saw any artwork on the net available, it'll be a gud opportunity ;)

but having a ground is supposed to be better, so we are high tech ;)

all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!
