family holiday come getting to meet AP members on the way
« on: October 13, 2015, 09:58:14 PM »
Hit Port Macquarie late yesterday. Would like to thank Mitch the pinbologist for his kind invitation to his home today. Was both fun playing his games that brought back some fine memories, but more so seeing the quality work he has done in his resto's. It's one thing reading his threads, but another seeing the work in person. The threads don't do his stuff justice. I learnt a fair bit from Mitch that I hope to try out when I get back. Played kiss, 6 mil man, buck rogers, galaxy, dracula and a few others and all played real fine and beat me hands down. It really gave me the pinney fix I've needing since the start of the trip.

Oh and Mitch is a real nice, down to earth guy. Always happy to impart knowledge or problems he has encountered and solved so that you don't have to do the same mistake. I'm really happy I took the time to meet Mitch and wish him well in his future resto's, not that he needs any luck

Off to Coffs Harbour tomorrow

You should send Cam (big dog) a PM and see if you can call in on him while you're in Coffs Harbour.. his setup there will blow you away and is the best i've ever seen  *%* *%*

Met up with swinksy today and that was a treat. Couldn't leave a highsore on his creach but maybe next time. Also visited pinball and pizza for a game as well. Couldn't get enough of the kiss, not fussed with mustang then got hungry.
