I bought my MM almost two years ago from the original owner, an 86 year old who babied the car and hated to see it go. As we were talking price he showed me the jacket. It had a footprint on it and was a little worn as he had used it often. He was not thrilled with the price I paid for the car (which I still believe was a very high/fair price) so he wanted another $200 for the jacket. I said he could keep it and we parted on good terms.

A few weeks ago I sent him some pics of the car and told him how I was caring for it, how I added the trilogy, and was generally enjoying it. He had called and spoke to my wife to say how nice it was to get the pictures. That was two weeks ago.

Today I got home to an unexpected package. He's a great guy and I was fortunate to have met him. (It still has the footprint on the front left!)

Amazing the return you can get from a small gesture.

That footprint was probably his wife's after he got home from the dealer in his shiny new Marauder!
