Well, I'm going on a trip starting sometime in the AM. It would be cool to meet up with some or any of you at my overnight stops. First will be Meridian Mississippi, next will be Fort Worth Texas, then El Paso, and finally Yuma Az to San diego. Hopefully I can meet some more of the great members here. P.M. with a # and I will call you. If I don't get any numbers tonight I most likely wont get them till I get to Cali or stop at a McDonalds or something with wireless internet. Later everyone. Dan

This is also a good chance to see how some of my newest mods work for gas mileage.

Have a great time Dan, don't forget your toothbrush, and ditch the knee high, ya don't need it, it may hamper your mileage.

TD: Sent you my cell & work #s by pm. BTW, there is a great self service car wash at MCRD, only $1.50, courtesy of the taxpayers.

If you need parts or service when you get here, Jefferson-mo can hook you up at the Ford Store off El Cajon Blvd.

Don't buy any wax or cleaning gear, my privilege to supply you with it from my trunk organizer. S/F, -kjs-

Well, as long as I go to just a few of the places I remember I should have a great time. At least I have a sister and her kids out there to spend time with too. Your bracket is in the back of the MM right now as I type.

Just got off the phone with Torinodan, he is in Arizona, doing well, some traffic issues, but he sounded good. Hope to catch up with him over the weekend when he gets to the San Diego area. -kjs-

Torino Dan has arrived safely in So-Cal for duty at Camp Pendleton.

Great to hear from him a short time ago, we'll get together tomorrow after I do the chaplain thing on the ship.

We now have a new (temporary) member of the West Coast Marauders.

Dan, hope you enjoy the best base in the Marine Corps, ooh rah! S/F, -kjs-

WOW!! what a trip!!! Do you know just how tuff the OEM front tires are? I guess I drove several miles on a flat and never knew it. Ok, it was more than several but I'd rather not say how many I think it was. Tire is still good too:confused: , all I need is a new valve stim. I tried to call everyone who PMed but some numbers didn't want to work, I'll double check them later so I can get hold of you on the return trip. Besides the tire the only other problem I had was my air filter falling off. Just a bungy cord away and that is fixed for now. My average gas mileage was 25.23. Not bad for an average. Hey Kenneth(LCS034), real clean Marauder you have. Now it's time to put on a few mods what do you think? Well, just a few things to catch up on and it's time for bed. Later everyone.

Oh, I almost forgot. When Kenneth left from Wendys where I was eating my lunch at whatever time it was I saw 4 other Marauders go through the intersection. All Black and cleaner than mine at anypoint of my trip. I also saw another black Marauder on I-20 after Meridion. Saw another (Silver one unmarked) in Texas before Fort Worth that had someone pulled over with a highway patrol crown vic. Nom I'm going to bed!!

Torinodan's mom here. I just got off phone with him and he was getting regulation haircut before reporting. He had met Navchap and had a ball driving his Marauder. Of course he wants all the modifications. My son is still a boy with a bigger toy.

Torino Dan and I had a nice time riding around, he got a good 25-30 miles behind the wheel, surface roads and highway. The car show we were going to turned out to be a misprint in the magazine. Bet he didn't tell his Mom that the chaplain said "hi" LOL! -kjs-

nope, that young man forgot all about that. I reached him just as he was about to get in barber chair. Dan really did some talking about your car, though. I'll be out for a visit July/August. Hope to meet you then.

No did not see your Marauder. In fact did not see one Marauder the whole time we were out there. :depress:

Glad to hear you had a safe trip, God Bless and good luck.
