Just got home with a blown transmission. It started whining as we entered NJ and the trek through Staten Island finished it off. It got me home but its whining really bad and not going into gears. I guess I went out with a bang for MV8!!

Had a great time, always a pleasure hanging out with you guys. See you on the next one.

OMG! How much racing etc did you do there? did you get a timeslip?
Geesh! you've had some bad luck lately. Don't forget to change out the factory cooler, as it probably has crud in it and will perhaps ruin your new trans in short order.

Sorry to hear that man...:(. Glad you had a good time though.

[frdwrnch]

We got in about 7:30. About 7 hr trip. Great show guys, thanks for everything.

Sorry to hear about the trans Blackened. We can rebuild it. Make it stronger, faster....

[FreddieH]

Kelly and I made it in about 6:45. We had to go thru the same area that I got stopped twice in on wednesday and ironically rode past the same unmarked Charger, this time I set the cruise control and rode for about 80 miles at 2 mph under the speed limit. We had a blast! Looking forward to MVIX

I didn't drag race which is a good thing. Or else I would still be out there. Its been one of those years. I think the vibration was in the converter and that's what did the trans pump in. The fluid was high when I checked it after hearing the noise. I limped it back home but it didn't sound good. I'm out of spare cash at the moment so the car shall be sitting for a while.

[SC Cheesehead]

Sorry to hear about the tranny, Paul.

We got in around 12:30 p.m., let in the dogs and promptly took a nap.

Woke up in time to watch the Packers beat the Eagles; yep, turned out to be a GREAT weekend!! :D

[Ladyhawke]

We finally got home around 9 pm after a short scenic tour on the Blue Ridge parkway then a 10 mile backup on I-81 North and several brake checks along the way.

As always, we had a great time!! Can't wait until the next meet.

Thanks to the Carolina crew and MM.net for an exciting MV8!!

[Ms. Denmark]

Not home yet but checking in. We enjoyed cruising with LadyHawke/Haggis and Fordfrk/Hammerdown Connie for a scenic side trip on the way home. Just pulled into Maugansville, MD and are spending the night here then home tomorrow. Thanks again to all the MV8 attendees. It was great to see our old friends and meet so many new ones! The Carolina Marauders did a fantastic job "Thank you all!!!"

Did you guys take the alternative route to miss the 10 mile backup?

[Ms. Denmark]

Did you guys take the alternative route to miss the 10 mile backup?YES!! Thanks to you guys we missed out on all that fun. LOL!:bows: Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. When we parted ways, Connie ...I mean Hammerdown was driving. They should be home themselves about now.

[1stMerc]

12 hours and 10 mins and i'm home. Whew, it was a rough thru Illinois, the last fifty miles was killer. Got down to i was the only one doing the speed limit, or least trying to.

It was all worth it, had a great time and it was awesome seeing everyone again, and meeting others.

Thanks to the Carolina Marauders for hosting, and all others who helped to make this a totallly fantasmagorical event.

Paul, sorry to hear about your tranny, but glad another panther got it's owner and loved one home, safe and sound.

Good luck with the repairs.

See everyone in KY.

[Bigdogjim]

Hey everone!! Arrive at about 11PM Thanks to Bluerarauder I miss 5 miles of traffic on I-95 near Fredicksburg, Va. I took 301 north and meet up with Silversurfer for a few miles :) Nice looking dog in the back seat by the way:up:

The Carolina Marauders did such a great job!!

A special thanks to 03mmmonore (Russ P.) for getting me a cooling fan replacemant so quick & installing it it record time like a NASCAR pit crew of ONE! :up: :bow:

Thanks to all the members that offered me advice and help with the fan problem which started Thursday night, I still did the laps at 100+ at the track with the bad fan:)

It was a great time and as always so good to meet new members and chat with "old" friends:bows::bows:

[1stMerc]

Glad you made it home big brothers.

[SC Cheesehead]

YES!! Thanks to you guys we missed out on all that fun. LOL!:bows: Glad to hear you made it home safe and sound. When we parted ways, Connie ...I mean Hammerdown was driving. They should be home themselves about now.

Yeah, Danica Patrick's got nothing on her... :drive: ------> :D

[03mmmonroe]

I was glad to help out. I was also glad that we talked about your concern in time to make the repairs before you had to be on the road. If you could not tell I enjoy working on autos and helping others. Glad you are home safe. Had a great time with all and looking forward to the next marauderville.

[Brian H]

Got in Sun. @ 4pm. we promptly layed dn. for naps. Had a GREAT!!!! time and can't wait for Louisville for more fun!!

[Ms. Denmark]

Just rolled in and unpacked. Eric and I had a wonderful time...lots of great memories to enjoy! We want to thank all those who worked so hard to make this happen. Of course we loved seeing Rex and Terry again. Nice to put faces to some names we've enjoyed interacting with on line but didn't really know; FastBlackMerc, Dakslim, MarauderMan and so many more. Thanks to all of you!!

[Vortex]

After two days on the road finally made it home in one piece, man, that was a drive! Had a great time at MMVIII and thanks again to those who did all the heavy lifting, it was a job well done!

[rayjay]

I arrived home at 10:19 last night, not bad, about 12 1/2 hrs. Numerous stops to walk so my back would calm down. Gel seat cushion really helped out, as did 12 hrs of sleep. :D The Carolina guys did a great job! Fantastic seeing everyone again, but I don't know if I'm meant to travel solo :( It just didn't feel right.

[GAMike]

Looking at this thread I realize there were a ton of people I did not get to meet..... My apologies, as I wanted to meet and speak with alot of you who have posted here. Not enough hours in a day or cans of beer in the parking lot (take yer pick:o)

Oh well, maybe next time. Hopefully we at least shared a quick joke/comment about the festivities @ LMS or the drags:beer:

[james79stang]

got in today @ 3:30 safe and sound Thank ALL for the great memories!!!!!!!:beer: :banana2:

I am glad I could help with discussing the same problem that Russ helped out fix'in as he did for you below..........amazing ..........but




I was glad to help out. I was also glad that we talked about your concern in time to make the repairs before you had to be on the road.

Russ

.....cause as I said in person to you......he and I both had practice with mine --twice_-Ouch!--so for his third time --he has got it down pat!

Great to know it's fixed......

[Mr. Man]

[Redster]

Arrived home today at 1445. Had a great trip and it was good to see everybody and we appreciated the Southern hospitality.

[Go2GuyFL]

Pulled into the driveway shortly after 10:30 PM tonight. Left Charlotte around 2:30 PM. Averaged 22 MPG and kept cruise control set to 73 MPH for most of the way with a dinner stop at Hooters of East Columbia.

BTW, the Chrysler 300 that whizzed by me at about 90 MPH got pulled over about an hour later by a South Carolina State Trooper driving a Crown Vic. Ford beats Chevy (GM)!!!

[Motorhead350]

Just got back after a stop in Ohio to check on the GFs dad. I am glad to be home. Weather was great.

Now to dig up my Sex Pistols LP and let one loose.

[MM03MOK]

Arrived home tonight after a two hour delay catching our plane in Charlotte today. Spent some time with family before coming home.

I had a blast and look forward to seeing pictures and reliving such a great event! Thanks so much to the Carolina Marauders for planning a wonderful time and showing us all great Southern Hospitality!!

Got in at 9PM Sunday night, finally got a chance to post up.

The Carolina Marauders did a great job on MV8; had a blast.. Would've enjoyed a few more days... never enough time.
