Hey Gang...

I made arrangements with Lidio today.

I'll be out in Mt. Clemens at 8:00am on Friday 02-25-05. I will be at Alt. Auto for most of the day but Friday 5:00pm I'll be at Capers with a couple $100's to blow on my MCM buddies!

Lidio and his crew will be working on my Marauder for the morning and I'll be hanging out for the afternoon.


5:00pm...and I'll be at Capers ordering a verrrry large steak. Hope a few of you can join me.

I've got a few hundred to blow.... :D If more than 20 come...then I might have to ask for donations! :)


God bless Paul...and hoping he's doing well.

Hope to see everyone in the vicinity on the 25th!

I hope to be there. Even better than a steak at Capers is a steak at Capers for free.

FiveO,

The 24th is my Birthday so I'm going to try and make it (If my future wife) allows me. She may have plans so I'll have to wait and see at the last minute.

Hey Mark. Thanks for the gracious offer, and you will not be disappointed with your steak at Capers, (IMO the best steak I've ever had, and I eat steak ALL THE TIME... EVERYWHERE!) LOL! Mouth watering.... man, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it....
Anyway, thanks for the advance notice for those of us who need it. I may be able to be there since I have time to schedule the day off, (UPS is not very forgiving of spontaneous/impulsive days off) and I have to take the day off to get to that side of the state in time. I'll talk to my boss tomorrow! :)
BTW, if you buy my steak, I'll buy your drinks and desert, (IF you have room left)... fair enough? :) :D
Looking forward to meeting another member. Hope to see ya there!

No boozin' for me as I'll be hitting the road for home afterward.

But...if you buy my Diet Cokes....I'm in!!!

Hope to meet you too.

Hack....can't wait to see you again buddy. I'll be around Alt. Auto in the morning if you're free...if not...see you around dinner time!

5pm isn't a true set time everyone...if you want it later...just say.

I just know I'll be in town all day and just need to hit the road before about 11pm. Wanna get through Chicago before dawn.

Wouldn't be a big thing...but I'm trailering my Marauder out so I don't think I'll be breaking any land speed records...until my Marauder hits the track in April ;) :D

Huge tax return....in the area of $6K.

I'm buying a new 20 foot flatbed tilt trailer late next week. I'm also gonna buy a used Ford F350 V10 or Powerstroke Diesel later this year...probably September. I'm gonna use my fathers '04 Dodge 1500 with the Hemi to haul the Marauder around to the various tracks for the year.

Lidio is going to put on a 2.8" pulley, K&N Intake, Dyno tune and add a 110 octane racing gas tune to the flip chip.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 450 to the rear wheels.

I'm running 428rwhp right now.

I'm also leaving my rims and the rims of mrogerc (Trilogy #9) at Lidio's before I head out of town. They'll get widened and Lidio will send 'em back.

Ordering my Nitto's tomorrow :D

I'm gonna be pushing the 12.1-12.2's...hopefully. With that pulley, 110 octane and the Nitto's....its gonna be interesting.

Oh..and the new license plates should arrive next week. "ARUNVUS".

Thats great Mark! I remember you wanting that trailer for your MM---WOW--but that other stuff---man that will be so good--I was thinking of going down to a 3.2 pully.., already have the TC you said I needed standing by......haven't heard of effects with such a lower pully yet as you say 2.8...and as for tires---dang it--you beat me too it --still putting $$ aside for MORE stuff as they say---

Yeah--- am sure your will do much, much better after all this----hope to see you and your MM again someday my friend-- WTG--Congrats--------Tom....

...............uh......think I better get started on doing my Tax return---could be some more $$ for stuff.....

The more the merrier!

I "may" have to fly to New Jersey early that week for a federal trial I may be called in to testify at. Not sure yet. Shouldn't screw up my trip out to Michigan.

Hope to see as many people as possible!

Well things are dropping into place.

Finally located the right hitch for my trailer. Took me 3 tries... :lol:

10,000 lb 2 5/16th's ball with a 1.25 inch shaft.

12,000 Reese weight transfer hitch with all the goodies.

I'm heading to buy the trailer tomorrow morning!.

Nitto's arrived yesterday....man are these things wide!!! :D


Sorry you can't make it Slim. I'll see you soon enough though :)


Looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone else though!

Its gonna be a long week and a half!!!
