Life before Marauder

[Pat]

Here's what I tooled around in before Marauder.

Jason, my Honda Mech, now in Afghanistan, is in the drivers seat.

Is that the one your neighbor backed into Pat?

[-Matt-]

I built minitrucks once before... ;)

Nice ride pat, i would love to see more of the old school stuff around these days

Yes it was. Took the opportunity to fix and repaint all white with a teal splash on the hood dripping over the front, grille and valence in two rivulets. Looked cool. Surely I have a picture somewhere?

Now I know how to use the scanner to moved images from old pictures into the digital world.

My first vehicle, a 1988 F-250 Custom 4spd with a 300 I6. I dove it regularly from 2002-2004 and it still sees occasional use around the farmstead. Hands down, it's the most reliable vehicle I've owned.

This picture is from when it rolled over 200K miles back when I was a senior in high school. Since this time, it's had the bed replaced, been repainted, and put leather seats in the cab.

Then there was the '94 Crown Victoria LX that I drove from 2004 until I traded her in and bought my '03 Marauder on January 29th, 2010. I really hated to get rid of it, but she was starting to show her age. Lots of good times in that car, but I'd rather not incriminate myself on here!

Sure did, 91 R32 GTR (AWD TT) It was right had drive so that took some getting use to. They really arent the greatest vehicles, but they are a lot of fun when they arent broken. Which doesnt happen often either:burnout:

The only reason it was so difficult is that the car was right had drive but in Italy you still drive on the right. It is very hard to drive past someone when your not driver to driver, there is no room for error if you forget the width of your vehicle.

How did you like the 03 Focus SVT? I was looking at one for a DD a little while back but I have never really heard much feedback on them.

Being a GT-R I assume it had the RB26DETT engine? jeez man you must've paid a small fortune to get your hands on that thing, it looks like it was in really nice shape too. What I would give for an R34 GT-R....:bigcry:

You are correct about the engine, I actually got it for a pretty good price because the engine had a blown head gasket when I got it. You dont want to have to touch the engine if at all possible, that is where it got very expensive. CP pistons sent me the wrong set twice! All in all I was very glad when it was gone...I will miss it but not the headaches!
