I had to hire a van for the day

A while back a friend bought an original sit-in Atari Roadblaster machine off eBay. He also got it from Cardiff too, probably the same guy. I remember because he said the van (an LDV) said it has 1/4 tank and he ran out somewhere near Bristol and had to call the AA and the hire people charged his card even though their van was faulty!

The other funny thing was the machine was too big for the van, so he had to tie a rope around the back of the machine and around the front seats and then tie the doors together. Apparently while going flat out around a slip road the front seats were bending backwards and trying to part company with the floor.

edit: I forgot to add that it was too big to fit through his door so they had to remove the downstairs windows, and now it is taking up a large part of his front room.
