I suggest to get something ice cold ..... its very warm in Germany. Ok, long shot, but lets see ?
Title: Re: [ROADTRIP] Teaser..... ;)
Post by: Laschek on July 23, 2010, 09:15:02 AM

Title: Re: [ROADTRIP] Teaser..... ;)
Post by: Reinhold on July 23, 2010, 09:21:38 AM
Yeah, i have also been sitting here in the heat in Denmark, and enjoying an ice cold beverage, the last couple of days...  :D

Just arrived safe and sound from my trip to Bremen Germany, and, with a million thanks to Ully!!!, a small detour on my way back.... :spaceace:

Started "early" this morning, first i went to my local baker to grab something to eat/drink..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen19.jpg)

One "frokostbolle" and 2 "pølsehorn" - and a Faxe Kondi Light  :) - and i remembered my sunglasses this time...!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen17.jpg)

Almost forgot to take a pic of the gps....
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen18.jpg)

When i reached Kolding i cought up with a police man on a bike, so no more speeding  :-\ luckily he took the next exit, so the speed was free again  ;D ;D ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen16.jpg)

Love th A-Bahn!!!!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen15.jpg)

German border - or a major hole in windows firewall!!!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen14.jpg)

Then, my dream car.... niiiice!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen13.jpg)

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen12.jpg)

The Elbtunnel...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen11.jpg)

Road construction in Germany.... not much room....!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen10.jpg)

And, a Road Trip is not a valid trip without pictures of windmills!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen9.jpg)

Reached Bremen - the only pic i took here...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen8.jpg)

On my way to Gunther´s place to pick up another arcade machine he got for me last year..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen7.jpg)

And, the Elbtunnel the other way, in heavy traffic  >:( >:( >:( 4 out of 8 lanes open.... WTF!!!!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen6.jpg)

4 out of 8 lanes open.... WTF!!!!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen5.jpg)

On the other side of the Elbtunnel there was a STAU for 10+ km, so plenty of time to look at stuff
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen4.jpg)

And, rain.....
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen3.jpg)

Even heavier rain!!!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen2.jpg)

Home again.....
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen1.jpg)

This Road Trip is over!
Denmark - Germany - Denmark
970KM driven...

..... but what did i get you ask yourself??!!!, they are still in the car, waiting for my brother, so he can help me get them in The Shed  :spaceace:

'Nice' roadtrip ... almost 1K on the road' ;)

An other Ice Cold Beer  :-* Do you plan to keep both? More I see it, more I love it  :-*
Circus is a nice addition. I have great memories on this one  :P

Thanks for sharing this road trip Muerto  :-*

PS : Audi R8   :P :-* ...of course  ;)

Post by: Muerto on July 23, 2010, 08:59:34 PM
@Nuno

Yes, i plan to keep both, either side by side (so as stated earlier, you would be able to play head to head)
or i move one of them into my living room, i´m sure it will look nice in there too (as your blue monster! :-* :-* :-*  )

There should be a low that doesn't allow you to own more than one of each classic !!! ;)


 ;D ;D ;D

The head-to-head is a great idea :)

I don't get the spider thing though....

My memory is really hurting me, that's not the Circus from the Belgian warehouse is it ?
I don't remember you bought it ?

Why the law? - i know a lot of people who have more than one PCB.... i know it´s not the same, but anyway..
The spider thing has nothing to do with the game itself, though, when i saw the add on (http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/sig/ebay.png) i was the top spider, after i bought it i was the bottom... ::) ;) :D
And, the circus i also bought on (http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/sig/ebay.png) last year, and Günther picked it up for me, and it was the Circus and the PC10 i should have picked up when i visited him last time, though, a Neo-Geo was in the way sought of speak  ;D

Drilled the lock on the back plate so i could get into the machine.... wow
This is almost new inside! no dust, no mice turd, no nothing! - except for some spider web... and on that note, spiders are damn dumb if they think that they can catch anything inside an arcade machine!!??

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/arc/bremen11a.jpg)

Wow!!!! 1499 games, this machine will get more love here for sure!!!

Metal ball: Where to buy??

Ully,

Rav has an Ice Cold Beer (I do too and it came from German eBay too a few years go, but i'm keeping it :P )
Title: Re: [ROAD TRIP] Teasing´s over...... beer anyone??..
Post by: level42 on July 24, 2010, 04:31:26 PM
Geez, that thing is as good as new ! At least it didn't earn back it's initial cost price.

But the counter can also have been replaced/reset....

i know, but i wouldn't pay more than michael paid for his - unfortunately he was faster in making his decision to buy it. there was only one crappy picture in the ebay ad from the front which didn't show the great condition the game is in AT ALL. plus it would have been a trip of more than a thousand kilometers for me for a game whose condition was unknown. didn't want to take the risk, so i asked the seller for more pics. when i checked back, it was gone :-[. but no hard feelings, michael, i'll take it when you run out of space in The Shed ;). have fun with it, you deserve it! i simply was too hesitant ...

Metal ball: Where to buy??

I'd try a pinball parts shop, pinball balls are available in different sizes, maybe one fits?
