It's saturday evening... everything is ready for a big day... Tomorrow I'll meet a friend, I'll meet THE collector, I'll meet Jas' in UK , in his Lair... the biggest dedicated one in the world.
And... by the way... bring back a Space Ace cab'
If you don't know, I'm from Belgium, and I cannot go & meet Jason without bringing him something typical from my country... mhhh... Yeah... let's bring him few 'famous' Belgium beers and the 'decicated' glasses
Sunday the 4rd of June, 04h22am :
Wake up dudes !!!
Here's my new car... only 10 days old
... a perfect weapon for doing my roadtrip
I'm so tired, but I cannot sleep...
... here's the solution :
As I said, it's a brand new car
Check the counter
435 km, ok !
Let's start, it's 5:24am
... nice car, this old ferrari...

Hanh is taking some rest
...after 3h45 approx of driving, we arrive at the eurotunnel
It's the second time we get it ( first one was for the Dragon's Lair II & Star Cockpit roadtrip here :

It's 09:05am uk times, we're in UK
...driving on the left
...strange bikes
ARRIVING @ the Finny's Lair
visiting of the Lair, talking about the arcade 'scene', anectodes, playing the games,
playing on the Dragon's Lair serial #1 cab... playing on the Dragon's Lair serial #1 cab...did you hear ? ...playing on the Dragon's Lair serial #1 cab During more than 4-5 hours of pure pleasure
Hanh is sleeping in the Lair
I'll describe this visit -in deep- in an other post, but you best believe me that is the most beautifull dedicated room I ever see
Ok, back to the topic
The Space Ace cab is very damaged... a lot of water damage
missing parts, ... It'll be an huge restauration project, but it really deserves it ! A good challenge.
Well, the first mission is to move the cab from the top of the ground, to the car...
...Oh my good...
... Hopefully, I'm with Jas 'Space Ace' ...
The second stage is to pass that hole
The pick-up is the issue
...moving the cars...
...starting to load...
... it WAS a brand new car
No problems
The cab is now safe in the car... and few goodies too
Thanks again to Jas' to be so kind with us
We hope to meet you very soon.
OK, time to go back to Belgium. No control with the customs... but ... we are just behind them during all the eurotunel trip
It's 11:05 pm where we're @ home... let's see
973 km... not too bad
But visinting the Jas' Lair really worth it... and... oh... by the way... I've now my Space Ace cab
Ok, there will be A LOT OF work to bring it back to life, and restore it... but ... the Buth cab trilogy is close to be completed
Stay tuned for the restoration process...
