Question: How Many Pachislo's Can You Fit In A Smart Car?

[Cris]

Answer: One in the front, and one in the back



This is my first post, and I picked up my first 2 machines this evening. That's a Beast Sapp in the front, and a Popeye in the back! Quite a tight squeeze in my little Smart!

Can I start by thanking 777heaven, he offers an amazing service and they did everything they could to accomadate my needs. I can't recommend him and his Dad highly enough for UK and European buyer. The selection of machines is great, and I think the deal was pretty good too.

While I was there I had a go on a few Pachinko machines too, the Star Wars one is worth every penny!!! I had planned to buy a Popeye to match the Pachislo, or a Pink Panter, but when I saw the Beast Sapp, I had to have it. The Pahinko's can wait for another day

I'm looking forward to setting them up, I have no idea how to play well, at the moment the machine's are just sucking in my tokens like they are going out of fashion.

Cheers

Cris.

Cris,

I must say i did have a chuckle to myself when i heard you were picking the machines up in a Smart Car - At least now if anyone asks if they can fit two machines in any car from now on i can answer yes honestly ....

That picture really is one of the funniest things i have seen and i would love to use the picture in my listings if its ok ....

Thanks for your kind words and enjoy your machines !

No Problems, you can use it if you want A good combination of seatbelt/tie wraps/cling film helped the Beast Sapp to sit tight, I even went past a couple of cops on the A1, didn't even bat an eye!

Now, I wish I could stop playing the damm thing! I have played the Popeye for about an hour now, not won much yet The machine is great, almost like new inside. It's great that these are from non-smoking palours! THEY ARE VERY LOUD THOUGH! I have some resistors somewhere here, they will be going in ASAP.

The Smart gets anywhere from 50 to 60 mpg, sometimes a little less. It averaged at about 54mpg this summer when we did 4200 miles in it (Spain and back). It's a great car, people always laugh when I go up to places like Ikea, but I always fit the stuff in! I only wish there was enough space to hide that Star Wars machine without Eddie noticing

Not realizing that you were from the UK at first glance of the photo- I thought Yeah, but no room for the driver. The "Smart car" should have been the giveaway, I don't see to many of those in the USA.

Oh well, you can't have everything. My daughter's new Honda Metropolitan gets 110 mpg most of the time. What a fun 2-wheeler!

I don't see to many of those in the USA.

I really want to drive one around America next year, I did a loop around Europe in 2004 and Southern Spain and back in 2005, a loop of America and Canada would be great in 2006!

110mpg!!! Sounds good. The Smart was designed way back when a car in the UK doing 60mpg was almost heard of, my girlfriends Clio does 50-55mpg now!

Still it makes a top class Pachislo transporter

Cheers

[Zeron Stargate]

I'm 6'4" ... wonder if I would fit....

Congragats on the machines.....

[Tulsa]

I'm 5'8" and I wonder if I'd fit in it.

[RKnarr01]

the machine is 32'' high and looks like it's hitting the ceiling

[talk]

i get 7 machines in my tracker

[cseajs]

That's great. I have been looking at importnig one of the Smarts. After looking I decided to wait till they just come out in the states in a little bit, but in a roadster version.

[arbycoffee]

If you put the car in a large moving van, you can get maybe 75 machines in with it

[logicprobe]

Welcome, Cris!

COOL CAR!!!

I really want to drive one around America next year, I did a loop around Europe in 2004 and Southern Spain and back in 2005, a loop of America and Canada would be great in 2006!
