"Le pinball" of course, pinballs are the new hype these days!

No, wait I think I have an idea, does it has something to do with your avatar picture?

Ok guys, no more guessing. Just got home with my prize  ;D
Behind the scratches there´s a 0.0 miles.....


Nice English weather....  ;D


Arraiving at the Dartford crossing, going north is a tunnel, and south is a bridge.... why???


Being sucked in to the black hole.......



Only pic from the sellers place... ..


Get out of the way!!! - hope youre going to the butcher.... nope, i don´t like horses... ;)


Dartford form the other side...


Sorry guys, no pics of windmills  :-\ apparently i´m in a country where they are scares...  ??? so here you go, a coal plant instead.... "little" more pollution, but it works!


The beast in the back!


And here it is in all it´s glory:




31956 plays on the counter..


Monster PCB!


And there´s a HANTAREX monitor in the beast


The English build this!


The periscope, complete with speakers!


Home again...


This short roadtrip is official over!

PS.
When i was there i spoke to Dean about eBay, and bad traders... and i must say, he tops the list!!
Long story short, he normally only shipe to England, but a guy in Austria?? had been buggin him about 2 PCB´s, and after a week Dean shipped 2 fully working PCB´s.... 1 week later he was contacted by the buyer, that said both PCB´s warent working... so Dean said, send them back, ill pay the postage and refund your money..... then for i cant remember how long he didnt hear anything from the guy, he then opens a case on ebay saying he didnt return the PCB´s after he send the money back..... then, you won´t believe what happens.... the guy send a parcel back to Dean, so he can get a tracking number, that he can show to eBay, so they can close the case believing everything is fine....!!!!! here´s what Dean received:



Yes! a box with an empty wine bottle in it!

So, don´t trust this guy:


Thanks to Dean for the deal, ill talk to you soon i imagine!  :)

You better watch out, in Holland the politicians have plans to give fines up to 25000 Euro to people who show pics on the internet of criminals that (f.i.) broke into your house !!!
Yes, because it's a "crime" to violate someone's privacy !!!!!
Yes....politicians are the smartest people in the world as we all know....  :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

Anyway, back on topic: The UK "scene" better watch out, there's a viking hunting your grounds, and he's looking for some fresh blood !  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cool catch !!

So, don´t trust this guy:


Indeed, don't trust this Austrian guy. I once bought an as original advertised Phoenix PCB from him. Except .... it wasn't original, it was a German bootleg!! He had put up a false photo on Ebay.

He told me to piss off, the game was working, wasn't it? Since then I trust Austrians even more less than I already did before.

But nice catch Michael, great looking game.
