Title: Howdy from sunny queenland, another newbie
Post by: v8racefan on January 30, 2009, 06:27:04 PM: Hi everyone,

just found this site after discovering details on the upcoming pinball expo later this year. Well I'm a self confessed coin-op addict and currently have 5 pins in my collection. titles include : bally corvette, bally creature from the black lagoon, bally black rose, bally judge dredd and a data east guns n roses, all are in great condition with factory toppers. I have a small collection of video games as well.

I'm married with 3 lovely children, and work in the property industry. I'm planning on attending australia's 1st ever pinball expo, and can't wait to may this year!!! $#$.

I have dealt with most of the pinball commercial traders over the last few years via ebay, and found them to awesome, great products and speedy services. I'm a subsciber to Gameroom magazine and allways read about the expos and pinball shows in the US however with 3 small children its just out of the question for a US trip to see these shows.

I was a member of the aussie arcade forum until for no real reason they decided to ban me???

Not into forum politics, just want to enjoy my pins and learn from others in this great hobby, would like to catch up with others in brisbane who also collect pins #*#.
