What about Thursday evening or Friday evening? Not that far to travel.

[Blackened300a]

All my bags are packed and Im out the door. See you guys about 5PM

[Tom Doan]

The guest of honor is reclining in a delicious bath of garlic, orange, salt and sugar and tastes good already. Tom

[Breadfan]

See ya'll sometime on Thursday mornin', I'll be commuting in from home.

[Mesencephalon]

Those of you that already know about my pipe problems, the leak is NOT fixed and I may be stuck here while the plumbers plumb :( If i can get outta here tomorrow I'll more than likely miss the picnic, the car show, the raffle ...etc. and not get into Hagerstown until late. If a MIRACLE occurs i may get out by 6am and then hey, i could be there by 3 or 4 and still get some picnic on and meet people, see cars, etc.
I am seriously bumming, i've been planning this for a long time. Got my 'SS INSERTS' applied - Polished Titanium looks FINE btw :) and upgraded my license plate holder lol ...

oh well. If the worst case scenario occurs, the closest I will get is to hear all about how much fun everyone had after you get back on the forums.

Oh well that's update at Wednesday, 3:30pm ....
:( Hope to see you all Thursday ...

What about Thursday evening or Friday evening? Not that far to travel.This is a good point. I have a little problem right now w/my Marauder. I got a nail in my L Rear tire, a 295 Nitto in the tread, close to the sidewall. NTB would not patch it for me yesterday. I called Discount Tires Direct to get a new one sent to me(I paid for the tire ins.) so it is free.:D I am waiting for the tire. :( We all know if you are not driving the Marauder to a Marauder meet it just sucks. Thurs night is not great for me due to a 7am start on Fri. Fri night is a possibility to meet up. What and where is the hang out going to be? The hotel lot?? I'll keep watching to see what happens here.......................... ..Party on..........:beer:

My brother will be along so you will see two short guys with a white Grand Marquis, that would be us. I will be wearing the black MM.net polo shirt with red, white checkered collar. Are these still available?
Looking forward to meeting the MM gang and seeing the sweet rides!:banana2:

Way to represent!! Could they not use Chris instead of Gordon??


MY EYES MY EYES :rofl:

[cruzer]

The Mercury Marauder is getting TV air time---it may just be a local station, but, at least, a few more people will know what we are. Hey, Pat, it was nice to see a North Texas Marauders hat---have a great time---wish I was there, Maury

[Breadfan]

That was cool! Pat made it on TV! :) I'm glad they used you instead of me, that was a great line and how true, I thought about that one the way back today, I was grinning the entire time.

I for one was very happy to spend a day at Marauderville today, I saw old friends and met some new friends, met many I've only talked to on the net.

It was great to talk to people in person, meet them as they really are no veil of the keyboard and monitor - that's what it's all about.

I hope everyone there keeps that in mind, and those who weren't think about that. Why be someone different online, in the end we're all very much the same or we wouldn't own these cars, lets remember that and not make it a chore to browse our forums anymore.

Thanks for posting that link to the news report, as a MV5 commuter I don't get that station here at my place.

BTW I think that pic is of Shamu.

[Bradley G]

have fun and post lots of pics, for us who can't be there!

[Breadfan]

It was a fun day today I'm looking forward to the next few days, I'm sure some good pics will be coming!

[Jax84]

There will definitely be PLENTY of pictures. I saw lots of cameras stuck to faces today :) I'll post a few of mine shortly.

When we returned to the parking lot after a meal at a German restaurant last night (Wed.), Gordon found a note and a business card from an NBC25 reporter.

Rather than string this post out forever..........how about starting a new one each day ---of the MVV---so we know where we are when reading about it-----I don't want to go thru gobs of post over and over ....and Most other s don't either - I am sure.....so....how about it..DUH!

[Jax84]

We're going out to dinner (8pm now) but my father, MyTMerc aka Shaun, has the registration list, not sure if Mary has one too... I'm sure if you don't run into them tonight, we can catch you on the cruise, we pull off at 8:30 be ready by 8am if possible. See ya then! (We're in room 118)

[Breadfan]

Speaking of the cruise, although I'm not going on it, that's my neck of the woods, whats the plan before boarding anything? I could swing up if people were hanging out around Old Town before the boat ride.

[Marauderman]

Wow! Another graduate of the "Zach" school of internet courtesy and tact.

:argue:

[Breadfan]

Chill out all, check the event schedule it's a busy time and not all have laptops at the hotel. I posted up a few pics but I only took a few since we have a MV5 photographer taking tons of pics, again it may take a little while for some of the pics to come out as folks get back to access and the appropriate technology to post their pics.

In the meantime I'm sure those who can will post up some pics. Everyone is having a good time at Marauderville I'm sure they'll do the best to share the memories with those who couldn't make it. That I understand as I was unable to make the last few so I know what it's like waiting for the updates, they'll be coming!

[Mike Poore]

Wow! Another graduate of the "Zach" school of internet courtesy and tact.

About 20 of us went to the German Restaurant in downtown Hagerstown on Wednesday night. Some 12 cars were lined up side-by-side in the parking lot near the visitors center. When we came out from dinner just shy of 10 PM there was a business card on one of the cars from the local TV station asking "Why all the pretty cars in town ? -- Call me." The rest is Marauder history. :D

Oooooooooh, great restaurant!

Great food, and even better beer. Charlie tried hooking me up with a 5 liter beer mug. They actually had two of them. I was all ready to order mine, but I couldn't find anybody willing to grab the second one, so I let it slide. (You know how much I hate drinking alone!);)
