Marauder Club ID Cards

[Slowpoke]

As previously discussed, I will begin designing a Marauder ID Card for the local chapter of the Windy City Marauders. I will have them ready for the quarterly get-together on March 9th at Dell Rhea's.

Any ideas for design?

I will stylaze the name 'Windy City Marauders" and make reference to this board, but I need a tag line, like "American Muscle" or something like that.

with the baby on the way and my crazy travel and work schedule I dont have a whole lot of free time but I will work on it over the weekend.

As for the membership cards...

1) Gee, thanks for keeping it so local 'Poke
2) As far as suggestions for "tag-line" (even though i won't get one...) read Willie's post

Also, our local SVTOA gives us business cards to put on SVT cars that we come across which refers them to the club and the website. I know that MMs are "few and far between", but I've been in Tampa the last 2 days and saw one...would have liked to have had a card with this site referenced to put on the windshield. BTW, instead I used my business card and a note...

[SergntMac]

Ummmm...got put some thought in this, I'll get back to you. Someone here posted a dictionary definition of the word "Marauder" and I think there may be a hint of something we could use there. Until then, "Tearing up the Heartland" or something along that line, appeals to me.

However, I agree with Todd, on his point. Why not some kind of "National Branch" card for us all?

PS...Ownership should be a must for any member ID card, non-owners and friends can be associates?

IMHO...

[MAD-3R]

Actually, concidering what I end up telling everyone.

"Yes, it's all stock."

Or
Lock, Stock, and two smoken' Tailpipes"

Not to horn in on what your doing locally, but with the small production numbers of this car to date I would love to be part of a national club that perhaps has local chapters as well. I agree with the Sarge on ownership as a requirement for membership and associate membership for non-owners. I would volunteer time to help in this effort if it was to become a national club. This car is definitely special as well as the people that I have met on here that own them. My .02 anyway and I have a pocketful of pennies...lol

[Bigdogjim]

Slowpoke: Great idea. You never cease to amaze me? Could have national card then some where it could have room for a local tag line.

Then we could get a dash plaque or maybe choose a secret handshake so we can recognize each other without letting the rest of the world know what organization we belong too. Wait, I know, we could all wear black roses with a ribbon for each released optional color on our lapels whenever we go to a car related event.
Sorry guys, with this weather, I'm feeling cynical today. Just trying to be funny.

Hey madr is that God Of Thunder a KISS referance? ; )-

[MAD-3R]

yeah

[Billatpro]

Mad,

that should be "Lock, Stock and Two Smoken Barrels"
And I wany a national club and yes You gotta own one!

[Slowpoke]

here is the first draft - it's a rough idea; food for thought

[Slowpoke]

whoops - that was kinda large - on my screen it was 3½" wide and 2" high.

[SergntMac]

"Mercury Marauder.Net...Home of the 2 Percenters."

[LincMercLover]

yah... gotta check the zoom on those...

[Slowpoke]

here's another draft version

[UncleLar]

Hey Slowpoke ,glossy black card,silver lettering and silver for the Gods Head? (Inside joke,Slowpoke,I seem to have a rather large smoking hole in my foot with Sarges' name on it) Sarge,I'll PM you the joke.

AaMMO

I love it, Poke! :up: :up:

[Billatpro]

Oh I like that Mac!!! I like that a lot! you copper guy's ain't that bad

[jgc61sr2002]

I agree with Sarg and Wolfe you must own an MM to be a member. Great Idea Poke. John:)

[Billatpro]

And Bill

[bugsys03]

where do we sign up?

[Slowpoke]

i guess the easiest way to do this is when the design is finalized i can post the image to the picture gallery. from there you can download it and print it yourself. I could print them and mail them out but this would not be cost effectivel.

i need to change the design a bit so anyone with suggestion or comments lease post them and i will incorporate them into the final design.

OH, sorry old news.

Anyway, I think you should not exclude those of us not so privilaged to live in Chicago. Either way, I would carry your card, and be proud. Afterall....Cleveland sucks....and Pittsburg blows.

[Bob Mathis]

Great idea Poke. I like it and yes you have to own one. I'll help with being part of a local chapter. Maybe with you all Todd in Alt.

[TAF]

I say we do a Southeast and include you Bob, the boys in Carolina and FLA.

Thoughts?

[Marauderman]

I'm for that too :up: ..all sounds gread...never LOL so much reading all this to get to this point.....you guys just crack me up!!! :rock: :)

[Bigdogjim]

I'll see if I can do something back east. Yes I also think you should own one. Looks good Slowpoke.

Bigdog: Maybe if we beg 'Poke (or bribe him buying some more pads and pens from him) he'll let us Yankees get in on the action!

[chapel1]

Great idea! A National Association of all us "Marauder"nuts.The few Marauders I've seen I always tell them about this site.Having that info on a card would be excellant.:coolman:

Mercury should use that in its advertising for the MM (IF it had any, that is.)

[Slowpoke]

here'a a version that may be used acress the country! I tried to upload the image to the picture gallery but had some trouble. You should be able to save it directly to your computer from here.

[chapel1]

Kinda reminds me of those jumbo playing cards old people use.Just kidding !!!:D

[Slowpoke]

when you save it to your disk and print it on your printer it should prnt at the right size. I think, I hope.... otherwise it looks like I am going to have to print them myself.

[martyo]

'Poke: Can't get it to downlaod. Can you e-mail it to me?

Thanks!

[Slowpoke]

Pregnant wife is making me move the home office to another room so it's off to IKEA I go to dump a bunch of money on some new home-office furniture. It's an hour drive out to the store...yippee! Having a baby sure eats of a lot of time and money...

[Slowpoke]

If you can't save the file to your disk after repeated attempts.... send me a PM with your email address and I will email it to you because I am one heck of a guy.

[CRUZTAKER]

Thanks slowpoke. I resized to 2X3.5 inches and they fit perfect on business card stock.

[gonzo50]

Slowpoke, you the man with the master plan, if you ask me again, I'll tell you the same. :bows: Just had to say it. Thanks for your ingenuity, or as they say it in military terms: "Field Expediency". :up: You're a real handy man.

[Slowpoke]

yeah, well, ummm, I guess so.

thanks!
