Some of the Guys/Gals have brought up getting together for breakfast or lunch before the Meet, like the day before or something.

Don't know if its OEM Grill but I'm sure it's Dennis MM. PM "oldekid" to make sure, he and Denise took those PICS but I think it belongs to Dennis.

It was a great time for everyone. A big Thank You to Eggie for showing us the ropes out there and letting us wash our cars at his house befor the meet. I hope to beable to drive up again soon, and that you guys can come down to us.

We had a great time meeting all the members from the Central Florida area, I think the car show organizers were a little surprised to see a Mass of Marauders, we may have rivaled the number of late model stangs present, and this was put on by the Mustang club!

I have to thank Malo03 for the use of the speedy wash at his house, after a a 2 hour run up the tpk the cars needed a scrub. We then cruised over en force to the show, people in other cars were looking all around at the site of 4 Black Marauders pulling up alongside. We had fun cruising back through Orlando, we need to go back to Orange ave. next time :)

Here is a link (http://http://www.marauderconcepts.com/photos.htm) clicky click, I've set my pictures there in a slideshow format, it was easdier to laod than the gallery. I got some real nice shots of the Vortech car DR brought with the air to air. It was nice of him to come by as I know its at least 150 miles each way and he's a busy guy. I like the way the intercooler snugs behind the grille.

If you guys need to get somewhere in a hurry, you need to roll with SoulRiot and Ghost03. I wont say anymore about that, but suffice to say, there is NO carbon in any of our cars engines. Side note, on the return trip a wild turkey flew in front of SoulRiots car at windshield level, my friends, that bird has one helluva story to tell his grandkids, my guess is he wont be crossing the turnpike any time soon after that fright.

It was also great to spend more time with new friends, learn of their favorite sports teams, I think it was the Mighty Ducks for Ghost03.

Thanks again Eggie, your son has a nice Monty, very clean, http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/images/smilies/bows.gif

Oh and thanks to Merc-O-matic for the awesome poster!http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Don't know if its OEM Grill but I'm sure it's Dennis MM. PM "oldekid" to make sure, he and Denise took those PICS but I think it belongs to Dennis.Yes, that was definitely Dennis's blue Marauder with the chrome grill. Glad I got to finally meet him. I had the honor of parking beside it.

I took a bunch of pics, but haven't had time to post them yet. Got indivicualy pics of most except for a couple of latecomers. Will post soon.

Almost forget the funniest moment of the trip.

Eggie's son turns to us and asks "whats that hissing noise" (whistling/whining of the s/c) as a Supercharged MM pulled up.

I answered "a 55 gallon barrel of whoopass..... and its got a leak"http://mercurymarauder.net/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I gotta say i had a hell of a time up in castlberry. Eggie thanks again for the hospitality...Next time i hope more of our local members will join us. The ride up was fun especiqlly watching all the cars move over to the right lane once they saw us coming in their rear view. Like Marc said it was like the splitting of the red sea. Unfortunatly the only bad thing about the trip was i screwed up my 4.10 gears somehow but other than that the trip was great...Maybe next time we can go up on a Friday and spend the weekend there till sunday and come back to reality.........I also want to say thanks to all the central fla members who made us sothern members feel welcome up there....

OK, I'll be planing on going back up then. Hopefully we can drum up more southern SSM members for the drive up. And maybe you could take the drive over to the east coast for the 15th. Hope to see you in July.
