We had a small gathering up in the hills yesterday.
Ralph was our host this time around with a great collection of old and new pins.
As always we had a comp running for the "Rusty Balls Award' the game drawn from the hat was Solar Ride. Bloody unforgiving Pin that one!
Whoever gets the lowest score for the day gets the trophy.
Congratulations to Maxwiz for being the worst player on the day, again. @.@
The highest score for the day on the nominated machine also got a prize (EM flipper rebuild kit)donated by Ralph.
This was won by ratbag (Gibo) who totally demolished all the other scores. Arsey bastard @@*
My favourite for the day would have to be Quicksilver followed closely by Black Hole.
All the Pins were a credit to Ralphs restoration skills, top job mate.
Thanks Ralph for a great day

Nice work, fellas.
Was that a Hot Hand I spied in the restoration queue?
Yeah it is.
He picked up two a little while ago but gave the better one to a mate who's skills aren't quite as good as his own. Nice guy.
It was quite a talking point on the day actually, shame it wasn't ready to play as it looks very interesting.

And here is the "Rusty Balls" award winner!

Ever since I played one it is on my long-term wish list.
There seem to be a few around so it is certainly possible to pick one up.

This perticular meet was just guys from the Monday night thing at Joe's.

Well done Max!
Does anybody ever beat Gibo?
Gibo/Ratbag/Old Ranga - bless him . . .
His secret to success is being a machine hog.
He will bang away on any given pinball to the exclusion of others until he pips you.
Problem is, he's too heavy shift out of the road when it's your turn.
No, he's not invincible, inconsiderate yes, inspiring vaguely, insipid no . . . . .
