I was on I-20 crossing into Alabama from Georgia. There it was. Black. There was a slight rumble from the exhaust, maybe flowmasters. It had Chrome bumper inserts, there were custom gauges on the driver's side dashboard, and there was a glow from the ceiling between the two sun shades, maybe a custom radio or something. We drove side by side for about 10-15 minutes. I should've waved him down or something, but I didn't. Alabama tags.

Anyone from MM.net know this guy or is he a member himself maybe???

Yeah guys! I am here in good ol' Huntsville Alabama. I am staying in the Candlewood Suites right off of 565 and 255. I will be here from 8 November through 20 November.

Maybe we could hook up one day in the next two weeks. I've never seen a Marauder in person (inside and out). I've only seen them on the road. It would be GREAT to meet you guys and see a Marauder for the first time! :)

Well Jim, that's 4. Looks like we need to do something. It would have to be a quick breakfast this Saturday. 20th is wide open, but interceptor might be gone.

Don't know about the Hooters, but I don't believe they do breakfast.

Whenever is good for you guys. I'm here TDY to Redstone for a 2 week class which runs Monday-Friday 8-4. Any day after 5 PM or anytime this weekend would be great. My cell phone # is 202-607-3330. Matt. Please give me a jingle. I'm friendly.

And by the way, the bling bling wheels aren't on right now, and they haven't been on for sometime now. I'll probably end up selling them. I'm currently riding on the 16" steelies :)

It was me. I recall running with you for awhile on my way back from Atlanta on Saturday evening. The gauges you saw are my Dakota Digitals, the glow on the ceiling was from my XM Commander mounted in the upper console.

I remember your car as well. Nice CV, noticed the tips and exhaust. You got off in Anniston, iirc.

That is pretty cool! I wanted to try to motion to you and flag you down, but I figured you might have thought I was a police impersonator LOL. I rode next to you for awhile hoping that you might be an MM.net guy and pull next to me and try to signal to me. Ah well.

And yep, I got off at the 431 Anniston exit, and headed straight north up to Huntsville. ;)

OK, so this Saturday 8am it will be. I'm like everyone else, anywhere is fine with me. If I have to make a command decision, then I say the Hardee's at Parkway/Drake/LeemanFerry.

Interceptor, you going to be able to make it?

I will be there! However, can somebody please give me a call, as I will not have internet access after I leave my classroom here at 3 PM Friday. 202-607-3330. Matt.

I am familiar with both 431 North as well as Memorial Pkwy. I printed the directions. 8 am tomorrow morning. sounds great.

Gentlmen, it was pleasure to meet you Saturday, I hope to see you at other meets. BCKNBLK, when you get ready to put that SC on let me know, I want to help because I might be next!!! Welcome to Alabama, Interceptor, keep us informed if you get your Marauder.

I had a great time. Good meeting all you guys. Like I said, I'll be back here in Huntsville in about 5 months for another class. Maybe we could hook up again in the Spring!
You guys keep those Marauders clean! I know black is a b!tch. ;)

Northern Alabama Marauders, a class act. :)

Agree. Also, I believe there is a few more North Alabama owners out there. Speak up if you want.
