My Car in a calender

[bigslim]

My car was included in the calender put out by a site called "Detroit Racing.net". It is quite an honor for them to include my car since there are some serious racers on that site. Just another honor bestowed on my car this year.

Never thought about that. Maybe the bus that I rode to school will be part of the Henry Ford Museum one day.

[HwyCruiser]

Way to represent Slim!

Great picture... is it me or does it look like there is a crazed maniac driving your Marauder? Nevermind, it's you, lol.

Me crazed????? Never!!! (I forgot, you met me).

[BK_GrandMarquis]

Congrats!!! Pretty cool getting published, huh? ;)

Who chose the picture to go in the calendar? I ask because your car is chopped off on the right and the rear. :eek: Is there a reason why they didn't use more background?:confused:

[Mike Poore]

Congratulations Darryl. That's a terrific photo, and I agree with the other guys, the angle, and B&W photo make those tires look a mile wide, and give the fronts that skinny drag bad-a$$ look. :bows:

If you could get one of those calenders for me, and send it, I'll gladly reimburse the costs for shipping & such.

Great Photo! It's so good I've just ordered two calendars. Bigslim: Wille Nelson's song says it best--"You're always on my mind...",

What size rear and front tires are you using?

It's hard to believe that the rear tires are only 9.5 in. wide. They look at least 12 in. wide in the calendar picture.

What's that small black thing just above the middle of your windshield?

Those are 305/55 on the rear. The fronts are stock. One thing you have to remember is I was only running about 18-20 pds of air at that time. The black thing on the roof is the antenna for my Sirius radio. Here is the original picture taken that day.

Thanks Mike and John. The money helps to support the website that I belong to here in Michigan. It only took about a week for me to get mine.

AH Thanks slim, the ol' lady got me Sirius for Christmas and I was

wondering what to do with that ANT. I owe ya' one :D

[Mike Poore]

Our Calendar from LULU came today. No question, Darryl's MM is the best picture. and I swear, it looks like he's lifting that left front tire, ever so slightly. Again, congratulations, buddy, way to represent. :woohoo:

[MarauderMark]

Finally got a card to order it on.Only question is how am i going to get darryl to sign it?:D

[Petrograde]

very nice Slim! :up:

I have a feeling that it's gonna be "Feb '06" in your garage for many years to come!

[bigslim]

Thanks for the kudos guys. It will keep this calender on that date for a long time.
