Perth Meet
« on: September 06, 2010, 12:22:51 AM »
We had a small gathering up in the hills yesterday.
Ralph was our host this time around with a great collection of old and new pins.
As always we had a comp running for the "Rusty Balls Award' the game drawn from the hat was Solar Ride. Bloody unforgiving Pin that one!
Whoever gets the lowest score for the day gets the trophy.
Congratulations to Maxwiz for being the worst player on the day, again.  @.@
The highest score for the day on the nominated machine also got a prize (EM flipper rebuild kit)donated by Ralph.
This was won by ratbag (Gibo) who totally demolished all the other scores. Arsey bastard  @@*
My favourite for the day would have to be Quicksilver followed closely by Black Hole.
All the Pins were a credit to Ralphs restoration skills, top job mate.

Thanks Ralph for a great day

















And I was there too   :lol




Some pics of a couple of Ralphs unfinished projects








Pins: The Getaway, TotAN, WH2O, Pinball Magic, Banzai Run, Flintstones, Judge Dredd, Lord of the Rings LE, Metallica LE, Iron Man VE, The Walking Dead LE, Star Trek The Next Generation.

Looks like you had a great time there Mark.Some of the blokes need hair cut and shave. #@#but Max wins for the best Mullet.

Dont worry, as i wouldn't mine any hair at the moment. !!!

Love black hole and would have love to have a few game on that one just so i can compare it to mine, non working one i have.Lucky Morrie was not there as he slaps the the machines around with his style.(slapper   *%*)
.

Well done Guys ^^^

Yeah it is.
He picked up two a little while ago but gave the better one to a mate who's skills aren't quite as good as his own. Nice guy.
It was quite a talking point on the day actually, shame it wasn't ready to play as it looks very interesting.

Ever since I played one it is on my long-term wish list.

There seem to be a few around so it is certainly possible to pick one up.

This perticular meet was just guys from the Monday night thing at Joe's.
I guess you just have to make your self known, and not be a dick :lol
The next meet that happens over here I'll try and post up so anyone may come. It all depends on who is hosting though.
