Got to Copenhagen, took the train to Nyborg, where my dad picked me up.
Friday; cabs loaded, Missile Command and Ice Cold Beer, and a secret one which was PlayChoice 10.

Saturday
Arraived in Ridderkirk at 0330, and "slept" till 0730 in the car, around 0800 Etienne arrived at the crime scene, and we had a little chad before André arrived (20 mins to late)
Unloaded the cabs, and there must have been dirty, coz here´s a rare sight, a Ckong vacuuming.. :D :D

Loaded the games around 2300, and after saying goodbye, i planned to drive 3-400 km before getting some rest, but Red Bull aparently gives you other than just wings , so i arrived in Kerteminde at 0600 Sunday morning... unloaded the cabs, and took the final pic.

Was back in England on Monday at 2100 local time
To sum up; Thanks to all for making this trip worth the "pain" - no one mentioned - no one forgotten....
Collecting oldsch00l arcade games is great, but this community takes it to another level :spaceace:

Great to see your pics Michael!
I am also happy to hear that you arrived in one piece ;D
you must be exhausted after that trip :o
-
Thanks for the pics and you bet I loved the Ice Cold Beer as much as I expected, maybe even more !!
Still wonder why someone needs two of these beauties though.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You are the hero Michael, this is the most exhausting roadtrip I ever saw. :o
Thanks for bringing those awesome cabs for us, your Ice Cold Beer really rocks, we had a lot of fun with it with Zita. ;D

Your roadtrip must have been painful as well! 1400+ km each way!!! wow!
Luckily mine was split up over 5 days!
And, i´m glad that you like the ICB, and to answer your question André - if you like something, and it don´t take up to much space you got to at least have 2 of them ;) ;D

Paul's 50 will sell a non working one for 500,-
-
... here´s what i payed for mine:
The first one i bought came from pauls50s, and cost 425€
The 2nd one i bought from a seller in Bremen and it was a buy it now for 229€
Both of the games needed new rubber bands for the motors, and the one from paul needed a special micro switch to tell the game that the metal rod cant go no further.
