Steve Babcock Award

[PonyUP]

It is my distinct pleasure to announce, that not only is Steve Babcock attending Marauderville, but Steve will be present at the Tilted Kilt Car Show and will be awarding the Steve Babcock trophy to the most deserving car in Steve's opinion.

This is quite special and we are honored to welcome Steve

Get your cars shined

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DOOM]

This is THE HIGHEST HONOR TROPHY you could ever hope to win with a Mercury Marauder.

Having the man who made the car hand pick his favorite and present you an award for it is PRICELESS!!!

This should be a STANDARD for all future Maraudervilles! :up:


Thank you MV-11 committee for bringing this back! :beer:

[CWright]

I've never met Steve before. This is going to be great! :coolman:

Thanks DOOM! We are humbled and honored that Steve and his wife have take time out of their busy lives to be with us:bows: Awesome beyond words! The story's he told when I first met him at the Woodward Dream Cruise, gave me a level of understanding about the history of Marauders and the automotive manufacturing business, that will stick in my brain forever. A genuine eye opening experience/perspective from a person who knows.:banana2:

Gotta agree with Doomie, THAT is gonna be THE award of all awards!

Another epic announcement for MV XI..I really wish I could attend, so many awesome activites and meet the many from here that make it all happen. Too many home projects this year had to get done and now my 82 yr old mother is not doing so well..nothing onthe imminent side, just a stressful time.

Good times to all that will be there:beer:

[Ms. Denmark]

Bring a silver Sharpie for use on darker engine parts or interiors. His autograph on my car has lasted since MV in Indy.

Yup. Had met Steve before, but never Jerry; definitely an event to remember.

[Mebot]

Oh man what a surprise! Really wish I was going to MVXI now :(
I met Steve at Woodward Dream Cruise in 2006. Really patient with all my questions and now owning a Marauder for 7+ years I have a lot more questions I wish I could ask him.

Its going down Ladies & Gentlemen 12 rounds of Judging and the Tilted Kilt Suwanee....... Now for the introductions................. .

In the parking spot to my left~ The up & coming contender... Modding out of Ponte Vedre, FL Boasting an impressive conditioned and accessorized & highly prized Mercury Marauder.......... STEPS..... STEVEN "STEPS" LUTY!!!!!:rock::party:

Now backing to the parking spot on my right~ From the Metro D.C. area (exact location? Depends on what evening it is:P playa) the defending champion a man and his instantly recognized Marauder with an impressive record of Boosted Burnouts, displays of Marauder Madness and car show awards.... One word........DOOM!!!:eek::eek:: eek:

And that's just the beginning!!! Heavy is the head the wears the crown!

Lets see what Steve says on the 21st:burnout:

[MyBlackBeasts]

Any word about Mike? Has he fully recovered?

Will Mike or Jerry be attending MVXI?

The late word out of the MV XI command center is that Mike will be joining us!:2thumbs: We have also learned that Jerry made an important commitment for the same weekend, and if he were to break it......... He may be sleeping in the garage for a very long time :o So just a guess here, but unfortunately JB will be wishing he was with us, but "toasting' from afar.:toast: You know he will be with us in spirit tho:burnout:

Chris and I will take care of it Ryan.

[STEPS]

Mike Thanks for the great Intro.................. See you there.....................

[TooManyFords]

Sounds like some tough competition!

[Mebot]

Can someone ask Steve @ MV11 if he can throw his weight around at Ford and try to get the Marauder font/logo rights? It would be nice to get floor mats and bumper covers among many other things made again.

[GAMike]

Guys just so you know... Steve is now a Ford alum. He's still in the industry but in another capacity.:)

[Mebot]

Yeah but he should still have some clout there he can pull. Its all about who you know ;):cool:

Maybe... Maybe not... Eleanor was running Mercury then... Its hard to define "clout" during those times, but lets keep this on point.... Its a new day and the 2nd Steve Babcock award will be handed out at MVX!.... Lots of contenders...... Its going to be an interesting competition for sure:beer:

Well, it comes down to the car PEM..... Jill Wagner pretty as she is, was a spokesperson from Mercury from 2005-2011... Marauders were produced in 2003 & 2004 as you know, so the connection while present, is not very strong.

Where as in the case of Steve Babcock, if he didn't work for Mercury in the capacity he did, at the time he did.......... We may not ever have seen this edition of the Mercury Marauder produced:eek:...... Considerably more important/relevant yes? :)
