a few days ago i put up a
price check thread for two cruis'n usa sitdown racing cabs. although i'm not that much into racers myself, i know that those games get a lot of gameplay at parties AND sometimes an opportunity is just too good to be missed. with that in mind i hit the road again - hadn't done that in quite a while!
here's what's coming up


right after school i hopped into my car

one of the main reasons why i decided to go for the cabs was the distance, because if you decide to pick up beasts like that you either have to rent a van (which is pretty pricy) or travel with a trailer (which is pretty slow). roughly 50 kilometers is a piece of cake!

borrowed the trailer from my colleague and took this idyllic picture right before hitting the autobahn

blue skies, (almost) empty roads - those are conditions every roadtripper loves


check out the beautiful scenery and the blooming trees - don't we all just love springtime?

it doesn't take too long for me to reach the final destination town

and here's the place where the cabs are located, ...

... a former amusement arcade (anyone wanna rent it?) which closed-down some time ago

inside, the cabs are already waiting for me


both of the cabs are in REALLY GOOD condition - apart from the fact that they will most likely NEVER lose that nicotine smell they had to "live in" for the last few decades. dirt is not a problem, smoke is!

also included is that fabulous topper! in case you've never seen it in person, it has some kind of 3d-setup with different "layers" - looks totally cool


fortunately, the seats can be removed easily and fit in my car without any problems!

the cabs are being loaded on the trailer ...

... where they are firmly secured

puh, i almost forgot the topper

loading procedure completed - in the background (smoking) you can spot the seller and owner of the arcade

before i head back, we walk over to his garage where he shows me another game he has for sale. no thank you, not interested in that!


ully, cruise us home

just checking: yes, everything's still on board!

time to unload those beasts




a nice short stress-free roadtrip is coming to an end
one country, two counties, 98 kilometers, 2 hours 54 minutes on the road - this roadtrip is OFFICIALLY OVER! uh, i almost forgot: the cabs also came with the small set of keys
