Once upon a time, I got an email from a member who told me he was looking for a good home for his boy. He didn't have time anymore for that one...and knew that the Nuno's Lair is one the best 'arcade orphanage' around!
Well, you can guess I can certainly help him on this... my arms are still wide open for a big boy like that!
So in no time, I prepare my horse and usual things for a such adventure...
Oh well...yes... the pictures... well, sorry... this road trip has been done long time ago, and the they faded with time/sun, sorry about this!
Well, I'm on schedule this morning... but at the last minute, I discovered the result of the 'Navigation Car System' last use by Darth Nunette
No time to find back the iron soldier, and other tools to repair the cable... let's try to leave anyway...
Damn it! It doesn't charge anymore!
Ok, let's charge the map / road instruction in my beloved iPad...a premiere to have it in my car, because I only use it in Wifi (no 3G in this one) :
Guess what? I also don't have the adapter to charge the Ipad in my car! Ok, like the good fashion time, let's take a good old school paper map, just in case!
As you can see, it's not gonna be a long road trip this time...only 134km to go :
To add in my all time 'Road Tripper' km/time counter
Let's Cow...
...In my country... Yeah, I'm a cow boy after all today
I'm very happy! Who say no? Well, let's say I'm hyper focused!
What? Rain in far west? Oh wait, I'm just in the far South of
Heaven Belgium!
Ah OK, a cow! I'm back on track in this Western story
Head to Esneux... a special town for me...
...a lot of childhood memories here...
I hate this : My Nav' Car says 'straight away', while there is a no entry sign!
And here we are. The seller owns few cabinets... but I'm here for this ...
Nintendo Sheriff He shows me the inside...
100% complete, not unfortunately not working...
After a nice welcome from him and his wife (also nice chat and nice coffee), it's time to load the beast in the car...
You can see the additional wheels on its back ... useful on a such beast, believe me!
Bye bye, and thanks again to give me the care of this beautiful cabinet
For the way-back, I've to drive into the down town of Esneux... As I said, a special town for me...
...we went here, one of my first excursion with school ... I was about 10-12 years... I clearly remember walking here with school friends...
Nostalgia...nostalgia...
Mandatory for a road trip story!
I'm not the only one to play with old toys
OK, my toys are not so expensive than things like (Wait! What if we add up the price of all our 'toys
')
Back at home...it's still the morning in the country :
Trip : Belgium only!
Total length : 4h02min - 270 km on the road
No time to unload the cabinet right now...'till then, nobody pass here!
Signed '
Nuno The Kid'!
