Marauder article in MM&FF

[CROWNMARAUDER]

I just received my april issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords & was shocked to find a 4 page article on a D1SC Procharged 04 silver birch MM. Check it out! Nice to see a MM in a magazine. By the way it has 772 RWHP & 643lb ft of torque!!!!

[TAKEDOWN]

[TiTo35]

I think that this is the feature article that Marauder TJA has been waiting for since last May 2008.

Here's the thread on that >>>> http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/showthread.php?t=44503&highlight=MM%26FF

Congrats Tom !! :congrats:

[duhtroll]

Thanks guys. MMFF called my house today (I was out) and told my wife about it being in the April issue. I was told it was going to be in the May issue. Haven't received my copy of the mag yet. It was a long time coming. Finally us Marauder guys get some press.:beer:

You bring that magazine featured car up to the car shows next time your in NJ on business :beer:

This way instead of telling everyone "Oh yeah i have one of these in silver" you can point and say "that 700rwhp car was in a magazine, and its mine" :D

[Raudermaster]

Oh, good, it's in the April issue. I just bought the March issue and it's not in there. I was worried that it was the Feb. issue. Tom you still got my number right? Give me a call when you're in the Cape again this summer we can do lunch.:cool:

That's a nice layout, Congratulations Tom. When do I get my signature copy?

Come on down to the NMRA Spring Break Shootout the beginning of March. Will sign a copy for you there;). Plus you can help me beat my personal best ET. At least that is the plan..:D

Yeah I was really pleased Tom with the article. And yes I would love to add the lights. Forgot about it with everything else going on. My friend Kenny (Bad Merc) can help with the install. PM with the details please. Just wished the new hood and painted graphics were on the car for the photo shoot. No biggie though. It was a long time coming.

[Ms. Denmark]

Congratulations on a great spread and beautiful car. You do us proud! ;)

Thanks. You have the right color.:beer:

[1stMerc]

Great article Tom, and great car they got one right. This makes two times this year to buy the mag. The first was for the calendar which was a bit of a disappointment.

Going to have to ship this one down there for your autograph.

Way to represent for our big ol four door sedans. Can't wait for the next installment of Tom Archambault aka... MarauderTJA

[Ryans PI]

That's fantastic! Congrats. Can't wait to pick up copy.

;)

[UncleLar]

Congrats man,that sucker is BAD!

[Darrin]

Congrats Tom! Glad to see it finally in print. It's been a long time coming and you well deserve it.

Just an awesome car...

Darrin

[MarauderTJA]

I received word that if enough Marauders show up at the Bradenton, Florida Spring Break Shootout, some pics will appear in MMFF Magazine. I do not know how many cars they want, but the more the better. Lets go Florida and Southeast guys.

[MarauderTJA]

Congrats Tom! Glad to see it finally in print. It's been a long time coming and you well deserve it.

If I can only make the nines that will be the final installment:depress:. Did reach a life long goal of seeing one of my cars finally in a feature article.:D

[TooManyFords]

Congrats Tom!

[merc]

I don't think I will make it this year. Beside your car is too fast for me to push the rear bumper. I do feel like we do have something in common. Darrin tells me I have your old transmission case with new parts. So we could be related in some odd way. :beer:

[Embassy]

Congrats. Glad to see someone represent the Procharged Marauders.

[MarauderTJA]

Congrats Tom!

Thanks John. Your car is certainly deserving of being in the magazine. Work on them. It takes about a year to get in. By then they will probably have another fast ford in the mag:rolleyes:

[sweetair]

Tom, what a great accomplishment. Good job and she really is beautiful. From one SB to another, great color too.

[dpotter]

Just got my copy today, I showed my kids, my wife...can't wait to take it to work. GREAT article about an awesome car. I hope mine grows up to be a DBP version of yours someday (I know it's a tall order but a guy's gotta have goals).

Tom, your MM is a shining example of the potential these beauties embody. I sold my Cobra and SUV to buy a family car that was unique and had potential and you thoroughly proved I made the right choice.

[Taemian]

Dang, that is some great press. Nice to see one of the 170 MHHM SBs as the top dog! 2DMax and I are still sorting out our fuel issues, but I'm looking to grab the "fastest MM in Canada" title.

But since he has raised all his kids, and I just had my first, he may have more $$ to spend on mods. Happily, he's become a good friend and is a VERY generous man with both his time and resources. We'll be heading out to the strip as soon as it opens. We should both break into the 12s (just barely though) and go from there in the coming years.

The journey (and cruising and shows) is all part of the fun!

That was a great article to read in a Mustang magazine and why I signed up on here.

Yes it was a long journey. But you are right, these cars have the potential to be something very unique and rare. That what makes these car so special. Enjoy yours no matter what you do to it.:beer:

Just picked up this issue today. Great article and some great pics of the car. Congrats and thanks for representing for the Marauder community! :beer:

[TAKEDOWN]

Picked it up today, can't wait to read it while I'm taking a ....! But so far the pictures look great. Thanks for representing our cars, it's about time we got noticed.

[Georges93LX]

I got my copy in the email today. Excellent article. Congrats!!!!

[stryker]

I think I will have to go to BORDERS to check if that issue is there to buy it is rare to see a Marauder in a magazine for Mustangs. :rolleyes:

[TAKEDOWN]

I finally read it... awesome article!

Checked out the magazine rack at the local Giant yesterday while the wife was picking up groceries. They still have the March issue of MM&FF on the shelves. Guess I will have to wait another week. :(

Same here in Florida Charlie. April issue is not on the rack yet. I need to get a couple of copies, one to give to my grandson.

Thanks again guys.:beer: It was good to see that a FAST FORD was in Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. They need to have more fast Fords more often. You would think it would increase their sales and subcriptions. Let the magazine know by writing a letter to the editor.

[MarauderTJA]

I finally read it... awesome article!

I was pleased, most everything was accurate. A couple of errors. All in all it came out well.

It looked like the "dress up" cap that goes over the oil fill cap came off for the big photo of your engine bay. :o :D

[Mills Marauder]

way to go tom there is still more in that beast thats for sure!!!!!

[Blackened300a]

Hey WTG man!!! My friend called me up and told me there was a 10 second Marauder in this MM&FF, when he told me your name I knew it sounded familiar.

Hope you plan on wearing your new hat at the next photo op! :D

Congrats!!!! Thats huge getting into a magazine dominated by Mustangs.

Thanks Bradley for putting this up:up:. We need more Marauders for the FAST FORDS part of the magazine. The more more noise we make, the more the editors may listen.

[BlownMerc]

Great article and an awesome car! Got my mag last week, didn't know the kids had relocated it to the "basket of no return" off the end of the couch. Found it and will keep it safe. One day, mine will grow up and get it's other 2 valves...one day.

[DTRMiguel]

Got my copy last night. Looking good Tom

[Taemian]

Looks like we have another MM (Black) in a different mag this month as well. When it rains, it pours!

[MarauderTJA]

[quote=Taemian;722639]Looks like we have another MM (Black)

What magazine? I have a collection of every Marauder in the past four years that showed up in a magazine.

[Bradley G]

I logged in and thanked them for featuring a Fast Ford.
I also said if they featured some more, I would renew my subscription to thier Mag.

I'll let the owner speak up himself, don't want to steal his thunder...though he IS a Canadian. He got the subscription mail out, so it should be on the shelves for next month.

[dpotter]

I had a great conversation with a "Mustang Guy" named Mike yesterday at the store. I was leaving the pharmacy with one of my 5 year old daughters in tow when a guy stopped me and questioned what year my car was and whether blue was the stock color. He said he'd just read an article in MMFF about a super silver Marauder and so it started...

After a long conversation about our cars and his I referred Mike to this site for current market prices on MM's. Great press is an understatement. Glad to see the Stang guys (me included even though I don't currently own one) are interested/intrigued with the Marauder. I hope to see Mike here someday.

[SID210SA]

I picked up my copy last night......

Tom, I feel like I had a celebrity in my Marauder when you came to visit....I went to the book store with my Girlfriend and she was like "WOW"....do you know him?....I was like yes.....and she was like....have you meet him?.....and I was like yes....he has been in My Marauder......and he liked what I had done with it!! The next time you come down, or the next time I am out in your neck of the woods, I will have to get you to sign my copy!!

I still love Mustangs. Down the road I will have a Cobra vert for the garage. Just prefer the Marauder for the room and comfort.

No problem Mike. Next time I am in the area we will hook up again for sure. But really, "Celebrity," I wouldn't go that far Mike but thanks for the kudos:D. I have seen the attention to our Marauder'a triple recently. On Sunday, five (5) different Mustang guys talked with me at various locations here in Cape Coral. Most of them knew my car but had no idea it was a 10 second car. They were wowed. It did without question make me proud. All of them saw it in the mag. It is going to be a fun time at Bradenton in a couple of weeks at the NMRA Spring Break Shootout. I am really looking forward to it. I am just really glad to see that we Marauder guys are finally getting some serious attention. It benefits us all. And that is what this community is about.:beer:

[Bluerauder]

Finally picked up my copy of the April 2009 issue of MM&FF. :2thumbs: What a great article. Terrific write up and awesome pics. Congrats, Tom. :trophy:

[TAKEDOWN]

I wait for the day, when I see our cars on the front cover!

[Master]

Great looking car! Love the light flint interior on the Silver. Suits it perfectly. You've done us proud, bro!

[MarauderTJA]

Thanks again guys. Still waiting for the mag to show up on the news stands here. Need to pick up a couple of copies. Grandson is somewhat anxious to get his copy.

[MarauderTJA]

I wait for the day, when I see our cars on the front cover!

We'll probably never see it on MMFF cover:shake:. It is first and foremost a Mustang mag. But, we'll take anything we can get though, we are a minority fast ford.
