A Big Thanks(the picnic) .....

[the_pack_rat]

To all those that helped put together the picnic & those that made it a great turnout.

Hope everyone made it home safely.

We avoided the Alley on the way home. Took Rt 27 north & a few backwoods roads & made quite excellent time w/o the added stress of all that extra traffic.

May as well keep of a roll today in not eating at home .....

Off to Sam Seltzers for dinner & a cold one.

[Tallboy]

Same here-many thanks to my East Coast brothers for all their hard work!:bows: I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone again. I hope to be back on the East Coast soon!:beer:

[King Fubar]

We had a great time. It was good to see the east coast guys again. They did a great job with setting up.

Thanks....

[Hotrauder]

This was the 3rd. shindig with East Coast South contingent and just you guys and gals are the best. Special thanks to Rob for all his work and to Z. for the great picnic. Thanks for the raffle goodies, tho my number was bogus!:D Thanks to that Tallboy for the decals, instant detail on the bird goodies and the fun on the RADIO across the Alley. Best Marauder day ever for me so far. Thanks to Javier and Mayra for the baby pics and the Marc and his lovely wife for the BABY TIME. And to Janice for the lovely Bathroom pics. She must have known that we wouldn't believe Gregg without proof.:D Wow, what a day! Thanks for all the really generous comments on Zacks work and the hospitality. We can't wait for the next meet. Dennis and Ms. Hotrauder:beer:

[Shora]

I want to send a big thank you to all who made this picnic a great event. Again, I must apologies for leaving early. My nephew had to be at a birthday party and his mom would have killed me had I not gotten him there in time. I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to hang out with more of you but I did check out your MMs and they are sweet.

Special thanks to RoyalPITA for the oil deflector and installation. You are a great guy and I'm thankful for your help.

Again, I am sorry that I didn't get to speak with more of you but thank you for welcoming me and my family to the event.

[carfixer]

I'd like to thank you guys for putting this on. We had a great time. We're all burnt like french fries but it was well worth it. The food and company were great.

The alley crossing was pretty cool. We had a dozen Marauders crossing together. I was near the front of the pack. It looked like a long snake of Marauders behind me. Whenever I changed lanes, I'd look in the rear view and see 11 other cars change lanes in formation... real cool.

[ghost03]

I first want to say THANK YOU to everyone that attended today. You guys really put a smile on my face once I saw how many Marauders were lined up. My goal was to have 35 and we surpassed that and its all thanks to all of you.You guys took the time out of your weekend and time off of work and drove countless hours back and forth to attend and for that I greatly appreciate it. I have to admit seeing the west coast caravan ariving all together was sweet.Like Carfixer said...It was like a snake of Marauders slithering through the park. WOW what a day...I still cant get that smile off my face. It was worth every bit of time and $ it took to organize such a meet. thank you to Tom, Bill and all others who donated things to the raffel.

Z.......... Thank you for all of your help. You really made things easier on me with your generosity. And by the way that cake was pretty sharp....Aside from getting 35+ Marauders to attend the picnic, My goal was to get everyone together and have a good time, and I hope everyone had a good time.

MarauderMarc....Next time you want to climb a tree try using a ladder. You nearly gave the Park employee a heart attack and he probably though you were trying to commit suicide. With all kidding aside thank you for risking your A$$ and climbing the tree to get the picture.....

I hope that everone had a good time and got home safe. Thanks Again for making this the biggest Florida meet to date.

[BAD MERC]

I had the time of my life since adopting my Silver '04 MM in October. I was going to bring this item I bought on ebay but it is really for adults only and would have been frowned upon with all the kids present at the picnic. This is a MUST for all Marauder owners, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4578776433&category=34284

[MarauderMarc]

Yes thank you Rob, Zoltan and to all who put this together. I bet we made all the northeners jealous getting sunburnt in February!

Rob, I had a ladder. It was a 10 finger Magindat "boost a chump". I did it for you guys...it was peer pressure....wanted to hang with the cool kids....

[Cobra25]

I also would like to thank everyone who was able to attend today. A Special thanks to My friend Robert who worked very hard to pull this off, you did a great job my friend. And also a Special thanks to Tom for agreeing to be our Second Group Leader and also agreeing to work on a set of plan's for Marauderville 4 with our central group for us. To all that donated items for the Raffle, Bill's mom for the home made salid and Bill's Dad Sam for helping with some of the grilling, Rick for going down to Homestead to Buy Cinn. Rolls, and the countless others who went out of their way to bring or make other items Thank You ! I hope all of you had a great time and got Home Safely !

The East Coast brethren are tops for putting together such a fantastic day. Rob particularly for doing so much work and recruiting his family members to organize and set up everything. My first picnic and it will be a memorable day for me. It was truly wonderful to speak to the many members I hadn't met before. I'm actually thinking of doing a picnic memoirs thread. Now if I could only TYPE!

It was astounding to see the West Coast caravan in action snaking down the Alley. I tried to take shots of it through my windshield but they didn't come out too sharply. :mad2: I'll see if I can make one worthy. I did get a couple of noteworthy shots I will share in the next couple of days. Thank god Rick already stiched the panoramic shot together so I don't have to deal with that. I tried a little last night but after a days driving, I couldn't see straight anymore.

Once again, many thanks to all the East Coast brethren for making the picnic such an enjoyable event. And thanks to all involved for the comraderie of the day. Great weather, great location, great food, great friends and awesome cars.

Bravo Marauderville IV, "Let's Roll" :burnout:

[Bootlegger]

The convoy coming across was a special site to see, I'm sure we confused alot of drivers in all lanes of the alley..Had a great time, a Big Thank You to all...

[juno]

Yeah, Kudo's to Rob, Z, Rick, Bill and his family and all others who contributed.!

[MarauderTJA]

Same here-many thanks to my East Coast brothers for all their hard work!:bows: I had a great time and enjoyed seeing everyone again. I hope to be back on the East Coast soon!:beer:

Great job Rob & Z and everyone involved:up: . And a special thanks to my buddy "Chuck" for thinking of me and getting a couple of "Procharger Racing" window stickers. :D

[RoyLPita]

I would like to thank Rob and Zoltan for another great picnic. They really did a wonderful job. I also need to thank Shora, Lou (Marauder TJA's friend and mine), J-Man, and Malo 03 for purchasing all 4 of the oil filter drains that I brought along. I enjoyed meeting and talking to a majority of you and also look forward to doing it all again.

[Smokie]

WOW that was the best one yet !!! So many Marauders were there, near 40 I believe. As usual the great people are what make it worthwhile. Claude and Paula, Mel, Chuck, Dennis and the fair Penelope, Gregg and Janice, Dave, Mrs and Alex, the King and Queen, just to name a few.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Rob for organizing a tremendous picnic, Zoltan and Tom for their leadership role and keeping it all "together".

Chuck thanks for taking the time to provide me with some very valuable info...I have a keen interest in the outcome...keep me posted.

[not5-0]

Thanks to everyone that pitched in to make the picnic a success. I had a great time and couldn't take my eyes off of the breathtaking view of all those Marauders lined up. The only bad thing is now I need a second job to buy all the goodies for my car..... Thanks Dave

[SouLRioT]

Me and my family had a great time. Thank you Rob for taking the lead for this picnic. Thank you all for attending, with out you guys it wouldnt have been as good. Hope to see all you guys soon.

[TooManyFords]

The $64,000 question:

Did you guys talk about hosting MVIV???

[MaLo03]

You had to be there. Words can't explain it. MASSIVE MARAUDERS! When I arrived, I counted 36 MM's then a few more showed up including the elusive BLUE.
Thanks. Rob, You the man! (((QUACK)))

[Cobra25]

The $64,000 question:

Did you guys talk about hosting MVIV??? Yes we did. To start We added a second group Leader MarauderTJA. Tom and myself with the help our Regional Rep ( Malo03) and our central group will be working on a set of plans to send to Logan . Looking around the November time line.

[TooManyFords]

Not to put any pressure on SSM, but that really sounds promising!

Way to go guys!

[Tallboy]

Chuck thanks for taking the time to provide me with some very valuable info...I have a keen interest in the outcome...keep me posted.

Anytime, old buddy. Kinda neat some of the things I get myself mixed up in, huh?

I'll keep you in the loop, and I enjoyed hooking up for the Ft. Myers-to-Venice stretch of our trip.:)

[StevenJ]

I know this has been said before but thanks Z and especially Rob. I may not have been there the whole time but you guys did a hell of job of barbequing and organizing the event. Saddly I didn't get to have any of the cake but that's not a big deal. Oh yeah, you guys did make some mean hotdogs btw, no really! Great job cooking! About the whole MMIV, well I'm not sure. It may interfere with my college but I think should be graduated a week or so before then. I'll have to see. Thanks for hosting the event!

[shakes_26]

Have to thank Ghost 03 for takin' charge, manning the grilles!, Bill thank your Mom for the killa Mac salad.

Good to see a lot of new faces out there, and the club growing in size.
