Walt, I gotta ask, just how many Pinball machines do you have? Are they kept at your home? sorry to get off topic!

Hey James,

Since you started the OT I'll go a little further.

I've got more pins than sense,and more pins than boats. :huh:

Actually I have about 90 machines in my collection.Mostly pins,but a few Gun games,a few different bowlers including a 1958 big ball bowler (4 1/2" balls) with a 17' alley, Baseball machines,a one armed bandit (a thief),and more.

Most machines are collectables and ranging from 1935 to the present.Some are REALLY AWESOME. I restore the older machines in my spare time.

And yes,there in my house except for about 5,there in my pole barn.

I have 2 main floor gamerooms and there's always 40-45 set up to play.Since I'm not married,my formal living room and adjoining dining room is gameroom 1.I think about 24 machines there,and I finished my attached garage for my 355 F-1 Spider,but it got kicked out for more machines.About 20 more in there counting the bowlers.

The balance in the basement in storage.Some down there have already been restored,and some are in line to be.

Yup,

Some kids NEVER grow up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

And everyone is welcome to come play.

James,

You'll really enjoy it.

Wait till you hear the sound of those motors in real life.They echo through the airwaves.TV does them no justice.

And the braking,unbelievable until you actually witness it. There's nothing like it. You'll see.

It's been a few years since I've been to Indy,but I've been to 3 races so far. It's almost time to go back.

But the Nurbergring,what a piece of racing history. There's not many tracks to compare.

Wow, now I'm jealous!

How far are you from there?

 

[topfuel443]

We are only 1.5 hours away! Hockenheim Ring is also about an hour away in the other direction. I am sure that a V8 at 19,000 RPM's (dont even know if thats correct, but?) will be something to remember. Kind of like the first time I ever heard a Top Fuel Dragster.... I will definately take some pictures....

~James

PS, I think my wife is almost as excited as I am!

Don't forget to bring earplugs, the cars (engines) & the crowd are really, really loud!

Obligatory off course is the camera and you might visit the Heilbron boat club, MSC Hansa, about 40 miles down the road or the largest privately owned aviation museum 50 miles the other way.

What is your trip iteranary?
