Title: Unusual cocktail cab with errr...a large soft drink company logo!
Post by: Bones on February 28, 2005, 02:13:26 am
Anybody seen these before? I don't know if this is the only one or if it was made in numbers for a promo.

Pretty funny actually, guess who my employer is?  ::)

Looks like a one-off to me.  But maybe that's just because it looks like somebody made it in their garage.  No offense to the builder, but dude, there's a freakin' white air-conditioning duct-cover on the side

Yeah, I thought that looked pretty stupid also. A black vent would have looked good against the red.

Nah, it's just Friday night and he is out hunting for Mickey.



Hey, I didn't say I liked the cocktail, just thought it was unusual and I hadn't seen one before.  :-\

Seems like someone built this themselves.  It's got a juke and MAME capabilities, and the guy also states in the listing  "Table is home made from MDF timber"

That, and all the ass-ugly accoutrements that weren't hidden, such as the KEYBOARD, and the generic trackball probably being used as a trackball would lead me to believe this is a ho-made jobbie.  Now if he'da hidden the keyboard and gotten a black vent.....

Coca-Cola colors are red and white, not red and black.

Yeah, but how odd do you think a white coin door would look?

That vent just looks so out of place....it's like a third nipple, or a human with a tail...or....Michael Jackson in a kindergarten classroom  ::)  ;)

I tried putting a warning in my sig line, but there wasn't enough room after the REQUIRED amount of "CYA" I had to put in there  ;)
