Kudos to MV-9 planning committee ...

[Go2GuyFL]

WOW!! is all I can report. Choice of black and orange bags with God's head, decals, flag for window, CD, LED flashlights, t-shirts with icons of all our site visits in the shape of green mile markers, and much more!

Also, the hotel is great. What a breakfast ... eggs, home fries, sausages as thick as hot dogs, pancakes, pastries, bottled juices, fresh cut fruit and coffee.

When can I register for MV-10?!?

P.S Model provided by jabird56 (waived talent fees).

[justbob]

Totally agree. Very professionally organized. While we get to relax a little, they are constantly running a smooth ship here. Thanks guys and gals.

Cool looking shirt !

[droppointalpha]

Fantastic so far. Never done this sort of thing before but it sets a high standard for a hooligan-I mean-marauder meet.

[AConvertedChevy]

Awesome so far.
Bought a 5lb Hershey Bar.......enough said :)
Kudos to the planning team.

[DOOM]

Couldn't agree more!!!

Very well done!

[Shaijack]

Yes, this gathering is firstclass thanks to all their planning. Congtratulations to all that worked so hard making it work so well.

[Mr. Man]

Thanks Guys! Those kind words are much appreciated by all of us on The Planning Committee. Our goal was to do all we could to have things run smoothly so you could just have fun. If you're happy....we're ecstatic! :D ~Paula

[05crownsport]

Yes, I would have to agree how well everything is planned. It's very difficult to do what has been done here...words alone are not enough...so I will be giving out kisses to those on the planning committee who are willing.

Ummmmm... Hershey kisses... what did you all think I was talking about?

[Blackened300a]

If it looks easy and moves along smoothly, then we have done our job. Glad you guys noticed.
We figured that if you guys are dedicated to making the trek out to our event, we should be dedicated to making the experience as easy and worth your time.

The weather however....... :censor::censor::mad2:

[justbob]

Don't sweat the weather man! Just meeting up with old friends and making even more is all I came for. Of course, carring the DR's, tools, spare axle, and so on all over the place makes for quite the junk in the trunk.. :)

Yes, thank you to EVERYONE and all of you kind words both in this thread and in person at MV9. You guys have ALL been so wonderful and I hope you all had a good time. We (the planning committee) tried our hardest to provide a seamless and fun time and I for one had a blast despite all the running around :D - which was ALL worth it.

Glad I did it. Good times. Sad it's over.

[MyTMerc]

Super job by the planning team! Can't thank them enough for all the hard work. Everything was great and we enjoyed another fun time at Marauderville. Thanks also to the fine folks at MM.net!

[SILVERSURFER03]

Aswome job guys and gals it did run smooth thanks again .... I'm with mark MV10 planners have there work cut out for them

[Bluerauder]

Been a little tied up for the past 5 days. Looks like I am a little late to this party ... but I will chip in my KUDOs to the Planning Team as well. This was truly one fantastic event from start to finish. From my arrival on Wednesday afternoon to departure on Sunday, MV9 was a first class event all the way down the line.

It takes alot of very hard work to make it look so easy. Bernie and I had a great time. Every event was memorable. The Banquet at the Hollywood Casino was absolutely spectacular .... what a real capstone event for a terrific Marauderville IX (MV9).

Thanks to the planning team that made it all happen ... time to kick back and relax now.

Great job Paul & Voula, Jack & Connie, Gordon & Chris, and Paula & Eric.

FANTASTIC !!!!


I have 185 pics of all the events that will take a week to sort out. :o

[guspech750]

There is no one place to start--but to say ---WOW!--Ms M and I are so glad we made it to #9 this year . Everywhere I turned --there was an answer from the "staff"- and Ms M and I truly enjoyed it all--everyone was so enjoyable to be around and share each others experiences since we last met and surprises for those first meetings of folks as well.

We both tried to meet as many of you all that came --and we hope we made contact --but if not--hopefully next year--I commend all those who had any involvement with this years event--I could go on it seems forever--but you get the picture--

and oh yeah........thanks again to my good friend Paul..--it looks so pretty when I got it HOME!--Thanks are not enough!--more later --its late --

Thanks to Voula, Paul, Chris, Gordon, Paula, Eric, Connie, Jack and all the other volunteers and supporters for all of their hard work in putting together a wonderful and most memorable MVIX!

Everything was "First Class" and the "icing on the cake" for us was meeting Steve and Carol Babcock, we could have listened to Steve's story's about the development of the Marauder for hours.

Thanks again everyone, you all did a SUPER job and we truly appreciate all of your efforts!

[Bluerauder]

It's been 2 weeks since Marauderville IX (MV9) and I just haven't come down from the "high" of the events of 12-16 October. Some people save up for a European vacation or a trip to Hawaii or maybe even a Caribbean Cruise; but I wouldn't trade the Marauderville experience for any of that.

Not enough can be said of the attention to detail that the MV9 planners exercised in pulling off a well-coordinated and organized event from start to finish. A Tip of my Hat to Paul and Voula, Gordon and Chris, Jack and Connie, and Paula and Eric for all the hard work that made this "First Class" event a memorable experience not to be missed. I hope the Planning Team had as much fun and enjoyment out of this as my wife and I did.

It is kinda hard to describe the Marauder/Marauderville experience; but in 61 years, I have never .... ever run into a group of people that I would rather hang with and have fun with than the gang from MM.Net. Some have said that it is like "Family"; but IMHO, it is actually "better" than family.

Never in a million years would I have ever guessed that buying a car 8 years ago would lead to such a relationship with probably the BEST car club that ever was and maybe ever will be.

Thanks again MM.Net for making this experience possible and Thanks Again to the MV9 Planning Team for making the memory of a lifetime. :2thumbs:

Yes, we did enjoy doing this--it afforded us the opportunity to meet the attendees as they registered; we had a few get-away weekends during the planning and we got to see the area. Wouldn't trade this experience for anything!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Charlie!:)

^^^ What the lady said! ^^^

I was a pleasure being a part of the planning and participation!

It's funny.... I was cleaning some paper work at home over the weekend and I can across all my "MV9 Notes". The napkin that I had written ideas on on the way home from Charlotte/MV8, print out of prelim places to visit, a prelim itinerary for Thursday, our hotel rating cards from our 1st scouting visit and a few other notes.

I too still haven't come off the high and I get excited when someone revives an MV9 thread :D. I'm still biting my nails waiting for Big Dogs video :eek:

Andywho, y'all are the best and I miss youz!!!!! :hug2:
