new york chapter

[nexstar7]

Is there a new york chapter? or, is anybody starting one?

[martyo]

If someone does (or wants to) let me know. I left a deposit on a MM yesterday.....

[jgc61sr2002]

I'll join the N. Y. chapter as I reside on Long Island. I may purchase the MM in the A.M.:) :) :) :) John

[martyo]

John:

Do you mind if I ask how much you are paying and what is on the MM that you are looking at?

I am negotiating for one in Westchester and the dealer doesn't seems to be coming down too much in price (but I am not through with im yet!).

Does it have Traction Control and heated seats?

[jgc61sr2002]

Stan The MM had heated seats and T.C.. Down side didn't have full size spare, remote fuel door (also deleated from late GM) and clock was included in radio. We haven't reached a final # but it was to date $29,500 with the $3000.00 factory rebate. Seems like FMC is trying to recoup some of the cost of T.C. by the deleation of the above items. What was the price of your M.M. Thanks John:) :)

[martyo]

I am still negotiating but the dealer said to me today that he would get me a 300B (Traction control, trunk organizer, six cd changer) for $29,000.00 after all the rebates were factored in. He says I will hear from him tomorrow. I will let you know. I found another dealer who has a 300A for $29,300.00 (no traction control, no heated seats, trunk organizer and 6 cd changer).

I hope to be able to officially join the club by the weekend!

Then, we will need a NY Chapter for sure!!

[jgc61sr2002]

Stan I am going to the LM dealer in the AM . Will keep you posted on the results. Would like to get the MM for $28,500. Will push them a little more. Hopefully we can get together on the price. John:) :)

[nexstar7]

that didnt answer the Q. is there a new york chapter? or is anyone going to start one

[martyo]

Nexstar: No one has started one yet that I am aware of. There are finally a few NY owners starting to pop up. I belive that I have scared up enough interest that a few of the guys will join.

Where in NY are you?

Hey New Yorkers, we can't let the boys in The Windy City have all of the fun, now can we?

[nexstar7]

i am in jackson heights new york. we have to stir things up. this car is unique. and i am just coming in after owning a mark 8

[martyo]

Let's see who is in NY: Me, you, gja, effster, jgc62sr2002, BlackBadger.....

I know I am leaving some of the guys out, so all NY'er's feel free to pipe in. We might even let some of the Jersey guys come (Reaper and whoever else is down there).

Let's get all of the names, pick a date and and place and get it done. I live in Westchester, so I am flexible on the location. Perhaps somewhere in Long Island that isn't too far out. John (jgc) can you think of a spot, maybe Port Washington or Manhasset??

Speak up fellas!!!

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - I live about 30 miles east of Port Washington, I'll do some research unless someone else has a location. John :)

[gja]

Any place on the island works for me. I am a born-and-bred islander, will even supply maps via email/hardcopy/whatever to folks who need it.

[martyo]

Ok guys, looks like we are on a roll. John buys the first round sonce he has heated seats!!

If each NY'er out there that wants to participate would e-mail me, I'll take the task of assembling a list so I can do a broadcast e-mail to all those interested as we set something up.

Sound like a plan?

Nexstar, Black badger, Reaper, anyone else, are you in or out??

[JohnnyB]

I'm in

[martyo]

Good deal JohnnyB send me an e-mail so I'll have yours. the drinks are going to be expensive for John (jgc)!!

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - Wait till the snow melts. It will probably take a month. You know I'll be there. John :D

[martyo]

Agreed. We should look to a date in March or we'll all be showing up with Road Salt Grey Marauders!

[Effster]

Im in,,but that car does not see any bad weather.The amount of snow we just got,,could take a month to thaw,,,,,hahahahahaha

[jgc61sr2002]

Effster - Mine doesn't see bad weather either, it's tucked away in the garage. Hope to use it someday weather permitting. John :(

[nexstar7]

i'm in. portwashington has a lot of great pubs.:beer: :beer: can we do it in two weeks. i have to have the dealer fix 1 or 2 items.

[martyo]

First, Nexstar, throw some places out there for us to meet. Make sure they have a lot where we'll be able to take some photos.

Next, everyone throw some dates out there that you are available. I suggest any weekend other than the first weekend in March. Anyone else??

[Effster]

any weekend as soon as this weather breaks

[nexstar7]

im in. i just e-mailed you

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - Second or third weekend seems to be good for me. Do you want to make this on a Sat. or Sunday. John:)

[nexstar7]

ha, ha this looks like its going to be fun.:up:

[martyo]

What do you say guys, March 15, 2003. It's the third Saturday of the month, say for lunch or something?. One of you Long Island guys should pick the place.

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - March 15 sounds good to me. John :D

[nexstar7]

DITTO!:beer:

[jgc61sr2002]

This will be the first meeting of the New York Chapter. John:D

[martyo]

You guys wait here. I am going to try to round up some more guys to join us!!

[Effster]

get rfoverlord,i gotta meet him.....he is as twisted as i

[JerseyVics]

Hey......

not a Marauder owner, nor am I from New York but we had loads of fun setting up Panther/B-body meets on Ceasar's Bay over the past few years, and if you guys aren't ashamed of us Vic/GM/ or even Chebby Caprice/Impala SS owners, lets be in the same club, shall we?


I posted awhile back about JerseyVics club and how its open to the NYC area but I don't see how everyone is willing to be affiliated with that name, its not a problem. If you guys want to start a New York Chapter I could help out with the web design of the page and give it some space on my web site www.jerseyvics.com Obviously we all meet and chat right here on the forums, but for general info about the chapter I can host a site just for you guys.

let me know what you think!

--Russ ;)

[martyo]

Russ: As far as I am concerned, all are welcomed. If the other NY'er's disagree, let 'em pipe in. Besides, if we can sucker some guy(s) from Jersey to buy the drinks, I say, hey why not....

-Marty-

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - Sounds good to me. John :up:

[NYSP618]

You downstate guys have all the fun, I realize you consider anything upstate north of Peekskill but don't forget about those of us still in the state but 400 miles from the big city.

:D

[martyo]

Russ: My GF's family is up there. As we say in downstate, it's a "schlep"! But, I say to you "C'mon down and join us"!!!

[gja]

Oh yeah, I am SO in for this. Saturdays are PERFECT!!!!:banana:
Name the place, then belly up to the bar/table and name your poison....
:beer::beer::beer:
The NY chapter will be fun for all. I will bring the digital camera and can post the same night.

WOO HOO, instant stardom for all. LOL:coolman:

[martyo]

Good deal gja! So the March 15th date works for you? I'll arrange the weather!

Who is picking the palce? One of you 'Islanders out to do it.

Let me know.

I still ahve not heard from Black Badger. I'll e-mail him again.

[Bigdogjim]

stanleyk: Have Marauder will travel. Not far from the Island.
Big Dog :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[martyo]

Jim: Sounds great. Are you available on March 15, 2003?

One problem is we'll be fighting over who the biggest is!!

Hell yes! If I am the biggest what do I win :lol: :beer:

Big Dog (gotta duck gettin in the MM) :lol:

[martyo]

Damn, Bigdog, I am scr*wed! 6'4" here. How long will it take you to get up here? Don't want to make it too early in the day for you. I vote that we start at lunch time (don't worry though Jim, we can keep eating 'til dinner!!).

I am going to drop everyone an e-mail as soon as the LI contingent picks a place (are you guys listening??).

Hey your almost there at 6'4" I am 6'6" . Jacket is a 5 XL.
The island is only about 1-1/2 hours at the most. I am just across the river from Trenton, NJ.
Thanks
Big Dog

[martyo]

Good deal Jim. This is going to be expensive for John (jgrc12344567). I volunteered him to buy the first round!!!

[Bigdogjim]

stanleyk: Sounds good to me, hey that's what friends are for. :beer:
Big Dog

[nexstar7]

i,ve already put it on my calander

[martyo]

OK guys, here's the scoop. The date is set for Saturday, March 15, 2003. Pray to whoever you pray to or do whatever it is you do to ensure good weather.

The exact time is to be determined. One of the guys on Long Island needs to pick a place (jgc, gja, Effster, are ya listening?). I suggest Port washington or Manhasset as being somewhat "centrally" located.

The anticipated attendees are (not necessarily in jacket size order): jgc, Effster, gja, nexstar, Bigdogjim (Bigdog gets the award for furthest distance traveled), BlackBadger, and me (stanleyk). I still have not heard from JohnnyB and JerseyVic (I will e-mail them again). Of course, if any one else wants in, just let us know.

Looks like we are going to have a good turnout. So boys, get the cars waxed up and be there or be square!

[JerseyVics]

I should be able to make it! Maybe grab a CVN friend with a 2002 CVLX Sport and roll in together... he's got Roush rims on his Vic you guys might be interested to see that (Crown Vic) name Dan... Dan if you're reading this I'll probably stop by your place and head out from there together.

--Russ

PS. my e-mail is: jerseyvics@aol.com

[martyo]

Cool Russ, we hope you make it. That brings us to 8. Now we just have to hear from JohnnyB (I am pretty sure he is going to come).

JohnnyB, where are ya????

[martyo]

By the way, gja, jgc, JohnnyB, Effster, I stll need your e-mail addresses. Please send 'em to me. Thanks!

[JerseyVics]

cool cool! I'm a little ashamed to bring my car to the actual meet so I hope Danny comes along and I can dump my car in Queens, lol....

So where will the first Empire State Marauders meet be held?

just curious....

--Russ :)

[SergntMac]

Excuse me, guys, for butting in, but I got an idea.

As our "regional" clubs continue to form and grow, maybe our clubs could adopt a regional "sticker" or sign for display on the MM? this could be like trading shoulder patches, or, enameled pins...Met them, visited there, got a pin/sticker in trade...

Just a thought...Rock on with an MM, eh?

[nexstar7]

my marauder can't wait. is there a Hooters in long island?:beer: :pimp:

[TAF]

:lol:

The boys in Atlanta meet at the Cracker Barrel...

The boys in Chicago at a Fried Chicken Shack...

and...

The NY/NJ boys are trying to find a Hooters...

:lol:

[nomad]

Who says NYers are dumb?:banana2: :banana2: :beer: :beer:

[TAF]

:confused:

[martyo]

Todd: Don't be jealous!!!!

Sarge: I agree. However, if we are showing our gang colors, should we be afraid of gang wars?? What if Todd's guys from Atalnta show up here, start thrwoin' some signs at us Yankees...It could get ugly. The next thing ya know the NY'ers will be pullin' out the pocket protectors recommended by LML....Oh my it could get real ugly!!

[gja]

Here is a link for Hooters in LI
http://hooters.know-where.com/hooters/cgi/site?site=139&address=

[martyo]

Ok guys, Hooters it is. Sorry, Todd, don't be too jealous!!

Here's the link: http://hooters.know-where.com/hooters/cgi/site?site=139&address=

I need a "final" head count, so everyone, let me know ASAP.

What forward thinking! This is one of the best non-performance ideas yet! I second the motion!
Big Dog
ps: Sarge you are NEVER butting in (IMHO)

[JerseyVics]

somebody make a round patch with a Mercury God-Head caricature to resemble the statue of Liberty, and the text around it to say in mercury font leters: Mercury Marauder Club of New York

Any law enforcement supply shop would be able to place an order for you guys directly with china where a bunch of underage workers will put their efforts together to hand-saw the finest quality patches you've ever seen, LOL cost about $5 bux each... but worth it!

by the way guys, how far is this from Queens? seems like quite a hike, you all live that deep into Long Island?

thanks,
--Russ :)

[gja]

JV,
East Meadow is like 15 minutes from the Green Acres mall, which is just at the Queens/Nassau borderline. You guage it from there.

[jgc61sr2002]

Marty - I'am good for the March 15 date at Hooters in East Meadow. All we need is the time and address. Doesn't everyone in N.Y. have a pocket protector (licensed I hope). John :)

[nexstar7]

HOOTERS IT IS. Im glad i sudjested it. i need directions.anybody?

rscn@msn.com

[martyo]

nexstar and others: for directions, go to my post in this thread of 2-22-03 @ 8:34 p.m. and click on the link.

Don't forget, I need a "final" head count, so everyone, let me know ASAP. I will call Hooters and see what can be arranged for us.......

Oh, and nexstar, sure wish my GF thought it was a good idea! Lead to some interesting discussions last night. LOL!!

[nexstar7]

lets keep in touch. rscn@msn.com.

[nexstar7]

anybody have any pull so we can section of an area for us?

[martyo]

nexstar: Please, don't use the words "pull" and Hooters in the same sentence. This is a family site!

Funny you should ask though. I just got off the phone with them to see what arrangements could be made (besides Sarge showing up in a kilt!) and the gal I spoke to was pretty clueless (to her credit, it was the dinner hour and it sounded kind of busy).

I will call during the week and see whether I can get a manager type on the telephone and see what I can do. I am going to see if they'll block off a section of the parking lot so that we can all park together. Even if they won't the place opens at 11:45 a.m., so we will just have to plan our arrival time accordingly.

Everyone attending, please drop me a line so that I can make the reservations.

I look forward to seeing you all then.

[nexstar7]

im pretty sure if we have a big attendance they'll accomodate us. we are bring in a whole bunch of hungry and thirsty gents with only one thing in mind. oh yea the car. lol just kidding. the love of a american pride vehicle.

[martyo]

I agree nexstar, that's why I need a head count. Hopefully when everyone returns to work tomorrow, they'll e-mail me about what should be the most important issue in their lives!!

[Bigdogjim]

stanleyk: Hey tell them we carry a lot of weight. :lol:
Big Dog will be there cold women and hot beer? Oh sorry other away around cold beer hot MM's. Sorry guys :beer: :beer:

:banana: :banana: :banana2: :banana2:

[nexstar7]

keep it up bigdog. me thinks this going to be a interesting night:rock:

[rla]

HI guys theres a hooters in Islandia off the expressway' I think xit 58

[gja]

AHHHH! Islandia is WAAAAY out there on the island. I don't think too many would be happy to have to run all the way out there!

[martyo]

Islandia, BAD! East Meadow, GOOD!!

rla: are you coming? If so, please send me your e-mail address and vital statistics.

[Bigdogjim]

rla Hello! You do not give a location :confused: The differance is about 25 miles from East Meadows to Islandia. That's a lot of Long Island traffic. :( IMHO :lol:
Big Dog:cool: :argue: :rolleyes:

[nexstar7]

WHERE IS ISLANDIA

[nexstar7]

ok i found it. why dont we go to the hamptons.:D

[JerseyVics]

LOL... Guys Please take it EASY on the Jerzey Boys!!!

I'll be there............let me know it you need help with anything

[nexstar7]

just kidding jersey. i'd go far for a great time.

[nexstar7]

hey stanleyk, anything on the stickers?

[martyo]

So far no good. I get catalogs in my office on a random basis and I am hoping one of them soon. Also, my GF said she would help. Yeah, right!!!! If you find something, let me know.

[nexstar7]

yea , its hard to get them made up and you have to purchase a certain amount

[martyo]

Yup, that is what I founs so far. We may have to abandon the idea of regional stickers and go for something that the whole site can particpate in. Then we just have to convince Slowpoke a/k/a CraftyPoke to make 'em.....

[nexstar7]

to late . a fire has been lit. i'll try something.

[martyo]

Cool. Let me know if you need a hand.

[nexstar7]

wiil do:)

[Slowpoke]

did i hear my name mentioned???

I have been working on a window decal. it's the gods head logo which will 'cling' to the inside of the rear window. I am just waiting for the weather to warm a bit before I slap one on the car. I dont think it will work on a window that retracts into the door; rather on the back window or the small windows in the back seat area.

Anyone could do this themselves... I bought Avery window cling trasparancies and printed them out. No big deal; no magic; no special machines needed.

[JerseyVics]

Jonelle had done that for the Massachussets/New Hampshire CVN/NECVO meets that I attended... they tend to be not as detailed or bright in color as professional ones would and they don't cling for very long.

--Russ :)

[martyo]

'Poke: Part Number for the Avery stuff please?

[Slowpoke]

Avery Ink Jet Decals for Windows
Avery "part number" 3276

six 8½"x11" sheets per package

[martyo]

'Poke: Thanks! By the way, I was in Chicago all day. It wasn;t any warmer than New York!

[gja]

OK, hate to break it to you all, but work looks like it will NOT allow me to get to the 3/15 meet. It looks to be a wicked-long weekend of work. I hope we can do a NY meet again soon. So....unless I post otherwise, very sorry guys.

[Slowpoke]

if may have not been warmer than NY but who spends time outside in the winter anyway?

next time call if you will be downtown.

[rla]

Im in

Would it help we all wrote a note to the boss??lol
Will miss you, hope you can pull it off at the last minute.
Big Dog

[martyo]

.....or we could change the date or we could just send BigDogJim after 'em!!!

[jgc61sr2002]

What time are you all arriving at Hooters on March 15? Say about 12 or 1230. We will have some time to get acquainted and go in as a group. John :up:

[martyo]

I was thinking we should arrive at 11:30 am. The place opens at about 12:00 and then will give us chance to get there and get parking near each other. I called the manager and he was supposed to call me back. That hasn't happened yet. I will call again next week. I need a final head count; I think we have about 8 of us going.

[JerseyVics]

I will be there... my buddy Dan with the 2002 Roush CVLX Sport won't be able to make it.

See you all soon!

--Russ ;)

[martyo]

Glad to have ya Russ. Too bad about Dan. I want to see the Roush car......

[nexstar7]

i'll be there also around 11:30 looking for a prime spot.

[Bigdogjim]

martyo: Don't count me as two.:lol:
See Ya!
Big Dog

[nexstar7]

MARTYO. ANYTHING ON THOSE STICKERS? sorry about the cap lock.

[martyo]

Working on them and some ideas for pins too. I haven't found anybody that can do the stickers for a reasonable price though.

[JerseyVics]

there's a place in Central Jersey where I had some stickers made a year or two ago... two for $20 bux... $10 bux a pop (if you buy two) it was pretty good I guess:

http://www.jerseyvics.com/thundervics/1996-thundervics/tv3-4.jpg

http://www.jerseyvics.com/thundervics/1996-thundervics/tv4-4.jpg

If I were to get these done again I'd make them much smaller and in white, so I could put them on the rear window under the third brake light like the CVN stickers are designed to be... only my letters would be a little more massive than CVN's so they're more visible.

--Russ :)

[martyo]

Russ: Looks like those were the vinyl stick ons like we use fopr naming boats. I think we are contemplating something smaller. Any thoughts?

[rla]

Hi guys

If someone could post the address of the Hooters were meeting at

Thanks JohnZ

[martyo]

John: Funny you should ask. I left my notes in the office, so I just printed it again: 1740 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow, Long Island, telephone number 516-357-9545. I think this link should get you directions: http://hooters.know-where.com/hooters/cgi/site?site=139&address=

Make sure you send me an e-mail as I will be forwarding everybody info and my cell phone number to coordinate and resolve any last minute glitches.

[martyo]

Ok you guys, listen uP:

We are set for 11:30 a.m. at Hooter's in East Meadow, Long Island, New York.

Click here for directions: http://hooters.know-where.com/hooters/cgi/site?site=139&address=

The reservations are under my name "Martin." The manager said he would be sure we got a table (the place gets crowded). He also said if we get there by 11:30 a.m., we should be able to get parking together in their parking lot (that should make for a good picture!).

The manager is a car gut too. I told him we won't hold it against him because he likes Impalas (j/k to our Chevy friends).

If anyone needs to discuss anything further, let me know by e-mail and I'll send you my cell phone number.

Also, if you can confirm that you are coming, I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible.

Look forward to seeing you all then.

[gja]

OK....Change in status. I stand a very GOOD chance of being able to show up!!!!
Sorry I can't be really positive Marty, but that is work for ya bro'.

Here's to hoping.

[martyo]

gja: We are immediately dispatching BigDogJim to "speak" to your boss. Hope this works because we expect to see you on the 15th!!

[nexstar7]

got your e-mail . we are on for the 15. do you think we should get the manager something for helping us out? :beer: :beer: :pimp:

[martyo]

Ralph: I figured a ride in one of our cars (even though he is apparently a Chevy guy) and the universal gift of cash (it seems to be everybody's favorite) would do the trick. Let me know what you have in mind though.

[LincMercLover]

LOL, umm... what happend to your name Stan, err... I mean marty?

[nexstar7]

thant sounds good. maybe i'll pickup a bottle of booze:up:

[martyo]

LML: With all the "new" parts in my car, I feel like I have a "new" new car. Thus, a new name.

[rla]

Hi Stan or Marty

My email is rla2727@hotmail.com

Thanks John

Great idea: Let all work on getting him to buy a Marauder for his very own!
Big Dog:rolleyes:

[JerseyVics]

LOL... before you guys decide on buying this guy a Marauder consider receiving the service first and basing the tips on that.... also be gentle on a college student (lol that would be >> me << ) I want a Marauder too, if I don't spend all my dolla bills at H (.Y.) T E R S... haha

Just kidding, I'm trying to prevent what happened in MA at Chillis (haha Beemer was probably there he can tell the story) the guys got asked to leave the lot after they finished eating because they left a small tip! haha

--Russ ;)

[martyo]

Hey guys, don't worry, I explained to the manager that we aren't called "two percenters" because of the tips that we leave.

[JerseyVics]

million dollar question.... does anyone have a good Digital Camera so we can do***ent this event in the photo galleries after its done?

I wanna make a H(.Y.)TERS page on JerseyVics.com so it'd greatly help since I don't have a Digicam yet...

--Russ ;)

[Bigdogjim]

Hey we don't tip the manager we tip the one that brings the food and :beer: . At least thats how I always done it. Duh? :cool:
Big Dog :rock:

[gja]

JV,
It looks almost 100% that I will be there. I have a fairly serious digital cam. I also have plenty if memory modules for it. I will be taking LOTS of pics. It costs nothing to snap them or share them, only costs to output them to paper. I will send via email or burn to CDROMs so all can share. I can even do video from the camera and could share that.

[JerseyVics]

Excellent, I'll have to give you a few bux and my address at the meet so you can send me the CD... video's would be AWESOME too!

--Russ :)

[Bigdogjim]

gja: Do you have a WIDE angle lens for that thing?? :lol: :lol: :cool:
Big Dog :beer:

[gja]

Bigdog,
I can pull back to Ohio if thats what it takes, dude.

[tbore007]

MMPridenjoy: Now we can settle our dispute over the sub woofer scotch brite like men: Over chicken wings and hooters!! LOL. Look forward to seeing you!!

[MMpridenjoy]

Yes indeed, lets pray for some nice weather!

[martyo]

Hey guys: I would like to get a "final" count as to who is coming on the 15th so I can let them know at Hooters. If you haven;t done so yet, please let me know if you are coming.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing everyone!

[MMpridenjoy]

JohnnyB (John)
DeloreanMARAUDER (Tony)
martyo f/k/a stanleyk (Marty)

Please let me know if I missed anyone, if your status changes, or if anyone will be accompanying you. I need to give the folks at Hooters a final count by Tuesday or Wednesday so that they can have tables ready for us (as if anyone could ever be ready for
such a motley crew!!).

Remember, we should try to get there by no later than 11:30 a.m., so that we can "Mauraderize" the parking lot before anyone else gets there!

Let me know if you have questions, comments, concerns or need directions.

We’ll show those Chicagoans that we know how to have a meet!

I am looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone!!

[JerseyVics]

Wow, this is really cool!

Marauder owners are the best... i'll be hooking up with BigDogJim to get there.... Anyone else traveling from North Jersey, NYC direction that'd wanna hook up and caravan with us to LI H(.y.)TERS?

Let me know so we can set this up/trade cell phone numbers and whatnot!

Looking forward to seeing you all there,

--Russ ;)

[martyo]

Likewise from Westchester, New York area (BlackBadger, JohnnyB???). Just let me know.....

P.S. Russ, you keep talking us up like that and we may even show you the secret MM handshake!!

[nexstar7]

the weather for saturday is. 44 AND PARTLY CLOUDY. NOT BAD. BUT WE WILL BE IN SIDE WITH THE HOOTER GIRLS.:beer: :beer: :beer: :cool4: :pimp: :rock:

[martyo]

Actually, I expect that we will hit 50 degrees!! C'mon Spring!!

[gja]

As long as there is some sun, it will be a real photo-op !!!!!!

[martyo]

Sun, yeah, I arranged that too.

[rla]

If someone could post some directions from out east , it would be a big help I dont no the area

Thanks John

[martyo]

John:

Either go to this link for directions: http://hooters.know-where.com/hooters/cgi/site?site=139&address=

or call there @ 516.357.9545.

Sorry, but I am lost on Long Island myself.

Look forward to seeing you.

[Mike M]

I would love to come but I work on Saturdays and L.I. is a rough ride from central N.J.
Any chance of another East Coast get together just a little closer?

[martyo]

Pick a place. I am sure we will meet again. I originally suggested L.I. (even though it is a drive for me too) because I thought that there were a number of members from there or Queens.

Last weekend I found a great place in Westchester to have a Meet (and I wasn't even looking - - I am sure that i could find others) and we've got three guys from there.

Feel free to chime in (we may ignore you, but feel free to chime in anyway!!).

[Bigdogjim]

John if your form the east we can hook up. I'll be traveling out of Trenton with a stop in North Jersey to pick up Russ from JerseyVics. PM or e-mail me.
Mike I will do a meet in South/Central Jersey in April. More info later.
Party time.................
Big Dog

[martyo]

Jim: Do something where I can detour to/from AC and you can count me in for that one too!

[Bigdogjim]

Martyo: That will not be hard to do! If there is one thing Jersey's got is is interstate access. I will make it real simple as I hope to pull from the Shore, De, Md, and Eastern Pa. will start a new thread real soon.
Big Dog :beer: :beer:

ps: can't have toooo many Marauder clubs?????

[JerseyVics]

There should be a sub-club for every state, lol just so no one feels left out.

Big Dog Jim, how about an Englishtown or Atco meet like the Philly guys did on CVN last week? I doubt everyone will race, but its pretty cool thing to spectate....

--Russ :)

[Black Badger]

A few of us rolling along together sounds good, let me know where, and what time.

Marty I can hook up with you on the other side of the TZ

[martyo]

Charlie: Check your PM.

[martyo]

OK Guys, here's what Accu weather says:

[JerseyVics]

oh man.... only 9 hours to go till I see Jim here... can't hardly wait!

its been an exhausting week at work (25 hours of overtime alone... plus school), so I just hope I don't fall asleep at Hooters, if I do start falling, someone yell out for a Hooter girl to assist with her TWO perky pillows, LOL.... ugh I'm tired, better get some sleep.


Name tags for this event would be a silly idea, but when you all are introducing yourselves make sure you repeat your name to me a few times, I have a short memory span.

thanks, see you all there!

--Russ ;)

[Slowpoke]

I'll b in NY on Wednesday; plane lands at LaGuardia at 10:15 am; how many MM's will be there to greet me??

Big Dog

[jgc61sr2002]

The first NY chapter Meeting was held at Hooters in East Meadow today. In attendance were 13 Marauders and fifteen people. There were 12 Black and 1 Blue Marauder. Big Dog traveled from PA to and at least two from N J including Jersey Vics. A nice time was had by all. After lunch we adjourned to Esienhower Park for a picture taking session. More to follow. John :up: :up: :up:

[JerseyVics]

Excellent Meet Fellas,

First of all, HUGE thanks to Big Dog Jim, very gentlemently of him to hook me up with a ride like that!!! (I'd be super embarrased to be a jack ass at this show with a Crown Vic among all the Marauders) Thank you Very Much Jim, appreciate it!!!


Second, thanks to Bill for the PBA card hookup, that was very nice of you as well!

Third, thanks to "gja" sorry bad with names, for jumping on the H(.y.)ter bill with that American Express card so quick, I hope I chipped in enough cash to reimburst you.... also if you could please e-mail me at jerseyvics@aol.com with your address so I can send you a few bux for that picture CD, of all the pix you took today at the show!


Lots of fun you guys, see you all and more at the next one!

--Russ ;)


PS. Rob followed us to Jersey and it was quite a site to see... we went into Manhattan for a moment and it was pretty cool having two Marauders following each other.... an NYPD cop took a good look at both of them as we passed by the intersection he was standing on. These cars are awesome!!!

[martyo]

Great attendance at the NY Meet today. The Meet was proof positive of what I have thought from the time I first logged on here a few months ago: A GREAT group of guys who are all willing to help each others out and share ideas. For instance, I just found out today that my car is "unique" in that it has a chrome bezel around the shifter.

I was looking forward to the Meet all week and was not dissappointed. Thanks to all the guys who came out for making this a fun and memorable day.

Now what about those Hooter's chicks???........
