Hello, all
Well, it's now official (as of last Friday, anyway). Two years ago, I was fortunate to have a Marauder for about 6-months as a demo, before it got sold.
Last week, I finally took possession of a 2003 Marauder with just under 19,000km (yes, Canadian metric, which equates to about 11,000miles). The previous owner took immaculate care of the car, and I have to commend him for that. There isn't a mark on it, and it could literally be put into a new-car showroom.
As unfortunate as it may be, however, this will be a daily driver for me, and I've already put 2,000km (I do almost 600km weekly on average), so it's going to add up quick. Up here, I've put on a set of Gislaved snows (215/65x16 front at 225/70x16 rear on black steelies) and have no trouble negotiating the winter snow we've been piled up with. I'm anxiously waiting to see spring and get the summer 18's on.
I don't have to worry about one of my cohorts selling this one on me, as I've purchased it outright for myself - this one's a keeper. Finally!
