It would seem my Marauder and Saturday's haven't been getting along to well...Saturday weather at least.
Last weekend a big gust of wind put my other cars door into the Marauder when I wasn't lookin - http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=42178
This weekend I drove out to someone's place away from painted parking lots, figured I'd be better off. :)
Well although we've gotten lucky with the weather (just some rain and wind) I had another bit of bad luck this Saturday. THE GOOD NEWS: There doesn't appear to be any MM damage.
Anyway, we went out for a bit in another car, and came back and I found a large tree branch very close to my car. It appears to have fallen out of a tree and hit it, and then settled right next to the car.
It appeared to hit the hood and front fender, but there's no apparent damage. There is a bit of dirt/scuff on the fender, but it doesn't look like damaged, just an indication of where it hit.
The main part of the branch was about 1.5" thick.
Here's some pics, please don't mind the DIRTY MM you will see, I had driven about 100 mlies in the rain the past 24 hours so the rims are dingy. My hope was to give my MM a nice wash, which I'll see about doing early tomorrow morning as the weather has been on and off here.

Here you can see a piece of the branch is jammed in between the hood and fender, and just to the right of that is some dirt from where it must've hit.

The other bits and peices weren't there before either, so looks like some small bits fell on it too.
OK I need a nice stable CAVE to hide my car in on Saturdays!
I'm happy though I lucked out no damage! Great to have a car made of metal!
