Good morning all. After some time away I'm back with a new, used Marauder. After a long talk with Jack I felt confident that the miles on the car were a non issue, and I was right. Flew down to SC last Fri. Jack was kind enough to pick me up at the airport and give me lodging for the night. He had purposely parked the Marauder in the driveway so it would be the first thing I saw (sorry Jack, Meredith spilled the beans). You would never be able to tell the car had 270k miles, heck I wouldn't even think 70k. Car has no dents dings or scratches. He replaced any parts that had wear and gave me a trunk-load of more new parts just in case. After shooting the breeze for hours, his Meredith made a great southern meal. A few drinks, then off to bed. Headed out the next morning to visit a friend in NC. 22.4mpg. Then off to Indy. It rained the entire drive there but car handled great. 20mpg avg. due to temp dropping and the mountains. Final day driving unfortunately was in the snow and salt. Made it home safe, went straight to the car wash and parked in its final home, my garage! 19.5mpg.
All around great car and couldn't be happier. I'll be putting my personal touches on it in the next couple months. A big thank you to Jack for a beautiful car, she's in good hands. And another big thanks to Jack and Meredith for their hospitality and good conversation. If anyone hear has met them, they know what a great pair they are and a fine example of a happy couple! Their dog Bear was also a treat to meet!
Glad to be back in the game, let the mods begin!!!!!!!!!

A great big.....YOU'RE WELCOME to "Wisconsin Dave".....she couldn't have a better new "care taker" (except for the SNOW)!!:beer::eek:
I can't wait to see how she's transformed......and.......... ..I KNOW that's the plan....after all she's a MARAUDER!!;)

Congrats! Drove my Marauder today; runs better each time I drive it. Not quite through it's first tank of E0 fuel - I've been blessed, as you have.

Gotcha. I met someone there very briefly with a pretty well built up SB with a centri. Seeing as though I’m bad with names.. I was just wondering if it was you.

No, I know him and Connie. I’m remembering now that this guy had some kind of a homemade CAI under the car, so definitely not Jack. Oh well.
Back on topic! Sorry Blazin! Glad to see your happy and can’t wait to hear your plans!

Thanks all for the welcome back. Just maintenance right now, but with the forged engine, I'll definitely be turning up the wick!

Glad to see they "stay in the family". :up:
SB was my first choice, but I couldn't find a decent one when looking for mine. Might be time to look around again, really a sharp looking ride in that color.
