# UK Roadtrip # Scud Race from Sega & APB by Atari
« on: October 02, 2007, 08:07:41 PM »
This is it... after the 'badtrip' done with Pat few weeks ago for a Sega Touring Cars (see here) ... we finally found *THE* racing game from Sega  :o

Ladies & Gentlemen... let's go for a SCUD RACE twin cab...



...OK, well... the game is in UK ... so ?

Not a big problem, because I've a game to pick up in UK too... not as big as the Scud... hopefully  :roll:  ... I've to pick up an APB by Atari  :arrow:



 :arrow:  So let's combine the roadtrip, would you  :?:   :roll:  :wink:

It's friday, the 24rd of August... it's 5:38am



...usual roadtrip stuff ...



I've to drive about 30km to reach the Pat's house. He is  already waiting for me.
Have a look at the van choosen to 'eat' a Scud Race twin & an APB  :shock:
Regarding the size of both games... it should fits the van ... Let's cross the fingers  :?

 C.AR.P.E.D.I.E.M. !!!



...usual roadtrip tools ...




STAGE 1 : Aim for the Scud !

Ok, have a look a the first travel do to  :arrow:



Van's counter reset   :wink:



... Pat has his own food... he's not really ready to taste such things yet  :lol:   :arrow:



...on the road again... again  8)



Pat doesn't want to drive in UK, so he's driving until Calais ...



He's discovering the EuroTunnel for the first time :



...a very easy procedure...



Ok, because we are a little bit early... let's take few pictures of us  :lol:

Darth Nuno  :wink:  :arrow:



and Pat'  :arrow:



...inside Le Shuttle ...



...and welcome in UK ... I'm the driver now  8)



Very easy to drive until the first seller... thanks to the Navigation Car System (impossible to use a paper map anymore :roll: )



Here's the twin monster  :P



Very good condition as you can see  :P  :arrow:



Let's try the game... everything is fine, except one thing : we cannot hear the motor sound on the first cabinet  :?  Well, it should be an easy fix ...



Let's load it ...



This is *the moment* ... we are not sure if we can load such beast into that van... cross the fingers...



...

mmmmhhhhppffff  ... not easy ... but hopefuly possible  :o  :arrow:



The cab #2 ... same way ...  :arrow:



Let's protect the sides  :idea:



Nice seller by the way  8)  



OK, now all the Scud Race parts are inside the van... but where to put the APB ???  :shock:  :?:  :?:




STAGE 2 : POLICE ACADEMY (APB inside)!

Let's drive to the seller #2  8)  :arrow:



I agree with you ... the van seems to be full... but there is hope  :oops:  :wink:

This is the first time for Pat to be so far of his family  :oops: He's calling his wife to tell her everything is fine 'til now  8)



...I already cross that bridge (see the Heavy Metal Roadtrip) :



...an other kind of collectors  :lol:  :arrow:



OK... here's the 'seller #2'  8) ...and the APB , both waiting for us  8)



The seller is collecting arcade games, but he'll leave UK for the USA in few days... and he'll bring few cab with him ... already in the 'move box'  :arrow:



Check this very cool Galaga... bye bye UK ... welcome USA  :oops:   :arrow:



Let prepare the van ...



... and hope we can load the APB  :oops:  :arrow:



Great !!! it fits... ok, we had to push very hard... but it's inside now  :lol:  :P



...I'm gonna bring back a UK spider in Belgium ... have a look a this monster inside the APB  :oops:  :roll:   :arrow:



After loading the APB, Pat has to get out of that van ... we didn't help him ... we were watching him, trying to get out  :P  :P  :P



...Very funny  :lol:  ...



"If you want to be a part of  the Arcade History... then you've to pay the price" Billy Mitchell [in the King Of Kong movie]  8)



A last picture from Pat & I :



Time to leave UK for Belgium ... a big trip to go back home  :?



...[on the radio] Sweet Home Alabama ...



...inside Le Shuttle... once again... I'm calling my wife too : "Don't worry, I'm only bringing back one more small cab... no no... the Scud Race twin is not for me..." :o



Thanks to that fabulous machine... we can stole games in UK  8)  8)  8)



...and finally, here are @ home  :roll:   :arrow:



To come... unloading the games ... StAy TUnEd  :roll:  :wink:

Well maybe not more than the games, but as you can see I really love to 'roadtrip' everywhere  8)  And I agree that UK is my favorite "territory"  :roll:  :wink:

I'm very active on forum, ebay, ... and very often, the sellers are also collectors... so It helps to keep good relation  :wink:

...and now the seller is gone in USA with the rest of the cabinets (Ms PacMan, Galaga, Star Wars,... )
I told him : "please, sell me these cabs, it'll be easy for you to buy them again in US blablabla..." , but ... no luck  :oops:

It's a big cab  :o Let's see if we can load it into the Nuno's car  ::)  :arrow:



Yeah Baby Yeah  :-* :-* :-*



Back at home... I'm unloading the game from the car ... alone (not recommended   :oops::arrow:
