Hi all
well what to say!!!

i live in a seaside village in essex six miles from clacton on sea.50 yards to the nearest holiday camp or two miles to the next.if i fancy a drive im in clacton.i think this is where andygeezer got involved in the arcades as there was not much else to do.

43 years old and would much rather play arcade games than modern consoles.

i also have a passion for 80's bmx bikes

if i can help someone i will.if i cant i will try.thats me in a nutshell.

greets, loved bmx's back in the eighties. great fun, miss those days

had a mongoose, and also a diamond back at one point
(I'm guessing they were quite common bikes, certainly where I lived anyway)

Hi Limpy and welcome to the group.

So, with your declared love for all things arcade, do you own any cabs yourself or is that what brought you here?

Either way, this forumid full of helpful friendly peeps who will help you with whatever.

Enjoy.

Neil.
