Stumbled across this video of this very cool looking machine. Best backbox ever!

Thanks mate the backbox is cool. Funny how stuff from days gone past are usually the best. Doing this digitally just wouldn't have the same impact. Any in oz?

Been after one for years... VERY cool game that commands quite a price.

 That one in the video needs a good tune up.. is playing very sluggish and it shouldnt be. Should be nice and snappy without having to resort to high tap

Never seen that before that was great!

Would love to see innovation like that now with todays tech.

Love interactive back boxes and I must admit T3 would be my favourite (back box) that I have played so far. Would like to see it more often.

I'm a bit of a racing nut, and would give my left nut for one of those!

I loved this game. Played it as a child on Mornington peninsula. Was in a Pinball place with lines of 60s machines.  Wayne Gillard Mr Pinball has one in his shop that he imported from US.  Very collectable now and fetch good money.

aaaaaahhhhhhhh! originality and ingenuity, so sadly missing these days. Just like common sense.
Nice watch.

Reminds me of an EM driving game I was lucky to have a game on a couple of years ago.

By far the coolest game I've ever seen, incredible engineering on these!

I love the novelty pinballs - this game is awesome. I'd love to have this machine. I hope someone on the forum scores the one Daniel has for restoration.
