TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
« on: February 16, 2010, 09:05:28 PM »
The wife pulled out a box of old photos to find a photo for someone so i decided id have a quick flick through and found a few jems.


 The first two were taken not long after i got the machine.  Looks pretty good for $20 including delivery

The second two are photos of my bar billiards table that im sure i was tricked out of.  Not sure of its age but it was 1 shilling to play.  Still had all the enamel plaques and instruction plates just needed to be re clothed i was quoted minimum $1000 which at 15 was out of the question. So he offered to swap it for a normal pooltable which sounded great at the time but what i got ended up being a home made piece of crap......  (Really spewing about that loss)

The next 4 photos are from my bungalow when we first moved into the city what a kick ass room for a 15 year old.  Strarted life as an old site hut lunch room.   So i went to the paint shop and picked the brightest colors i could find  *%*.

These photos have nothing to do with pinballs but now i understand why we old people were rude pricks when ever we went anywhere with heath our son.  We were probably 19 or 20 in these photos but shit we looked young. 

  I didnt even need to shave LMFAO

Hi Daniel,

How's it all going? Had to touch base and say how f*cking cool I thought your post was today with the old photos. Seriously it made my day.

I recently did the same thing and was checking out some old pix when I was around 17-25 and to be honest I have very little memory from those times - must of been all the piss, weed, metal and pussy  &&

Great to hear from you tony.   I have very little memory between 17 to around 22 and its always great to see a photo that brings back memories ill see what other old photos i can pull out

Sadly my mum gave away my nintendo to a friend of hers i had every extra you could get for it like the glove, Robot, Gun but the new owner was so happy it was worth it.

Ill see what else i can find Nino there are thousands floating around.   Im hoping to find the photos of the Lorne arcade which is the reason i wanted to hand backboxes around my walls but they may have been taken on an ex's camera  !!!
