I read so many interesting sentences in all of the above mentioned posts. i will side with creech just for the hell of it.i like minority's. lol   

first question, what do u have to do to become "undoubtedly the most influential pinball person in Australia".
dont answer that. i was just wondering who he was influencing ? i just saw the funny side of it. it was like Michael had the ear of the "pinball boss's".
(If you can imagine "pinball combined with the soprano's", it looked great in my head. like a new TV series. lol   

and the second funny thing was that u got a "free flyer" if u purchased a pinball machine.
yep, that again, sounded funny. probably one of the most generous offers i have ever heard of. spend 2 grand and get a 5 cent brochure. 
perhaps i didnt see the attractiveness of that offer.

but, from what i hear he is a nice bloke. i actually bought a bugs bunny pinball machine from someone and it had michaels card stapled inside the machine. it took beaky about 10 hrs to fix all the hack repairs inside it. i wish the pinball tech who attempted to fix it had of bought one of michaels books and looked at some of the photos in better detail. 

maybe book 3 was out of stock still. lol    one day, i will get him to sign my book, if i ever find one ! 

ps- only read if u have a sense of humour.
