BRIGHT LIGHTS MOTÖR CITY - Michigan Pinball Expo Trip Report

Time to put four to the floor and really get into the Michigan Pinball Expo! In my previous post, I just did a small preview of the Expo and posted a couple of neat pictures of what was there. NOW it is time to get into the nitty-gritty of the Expo! I figured since the Expo was in Michigan, the home state of Detroit, I would do a little Motor City theme. There were a couple of pinball machines with automotive themes so i think it would be quite appropriate! It's obvious that I love pinball and I think I've made it known that I'm quite the car guy too, but if you don't know that yet, let's post some sweet car pix to get into the Motörhead mood!

Alright, quit drooling! Let's head out to the highway ...

This was the fifth year of the Expo and it was a helluva year! There was a ton of great games to play as well as a few rarities such as Orbitor 1, The Matrix, and Predator (the latter two being custom machines)... but those are for another post, haha! We're here to talk about cool cars and pinball, not space and Sci-Fi movies! (Maybe I will do a Sci-Fi-themed post.) ... Enough yakkin', it's time to kick it off with Corvette by Bally!

Michigan Pinball Expo ... 2014!

I just got back from the good ol' US of A for a little bit of pinball! Well, actually, I was in Windsor all weekend and went to Michigan on Friday for the annual Michigan Pinball Expo! Back when I first started Bright Lights Bumper City 2 years ago this month, I did a little trip report about the 2012 edition of Michigan Pinball Expo. Unfortunately, I did not have the benefit of flash photography and had to use a few photos that my friend Nicole had taken. This time around though, I saved up a couple of bucks and got myself a little upgrade from the iPhone pics I usually post...

Nice!

You might have seen a couple of nice photos of pinball posted throughout Bumper City, such as the trip report of my St. Catherines Pinball Journey or Star Trek at California Sandwiches but for those I had borrowed my buddy AK's camera. Now that I have a camera of my own, expect many more photos like this...

... or this...

I came home from the Michigan Pinball Expo with about ... 1000 photos so I have had hella editing to do. I have more than AC/DC pictures though "Luci" was a stunner!
