Hello Michael and welcome to the MM.Net :welcome1: This is the place for answers and tips on the Marauder. There's about 6 years experience around here.

Where are you located in Germany? I have about 6 years autobahn experience over there .... mostly in the Rheinland Pfaltz/Saarland area (Baumholder, Kaiserslautern, Bad Kreuznach, Mainz, Frankfurt, Mannheim, Heidelberg, and Karlsruhe area.

[jdando]

Welcome Michael! Congratulations on getting a great Autobahn cruiser! I would love to have my car over there, except when it is time to fill the gas tank.

[Stroszek]

Hello Michael.... and welcome! Congratulations on the new Merc!

[jgc61sr2002]

Michael -Congrats and Welcome Aboard:D:welcome1:
You came to the right site. Excellent info. an nice folks.

[Blk Mamba]

Congrats on the new ride, quite a ride it is. Do you have 93 Octane rated fuel there?

[2,4shofast]

Europe has a different octane rating than what we have in the states. If I remember correctly their 98 octane is around our 92-93 so he wont have any issues.:beer:

[RoyLPita]

Hello from Florida. Enjoy the site and your new ride.

[Taemian]

You really need to send us some video of your Marauder on the autobahn! I have relatives in Wirsberg (kries Kulmbach) that I will travel to see someday again. What area are you in, Micheal?

[ParkRanger]

Welcome to the site. You've come to the right place!

[Coupe]

thank you for the nice welcome greetings! i come from a little village near hamburg. i ride evervy day to hamburg 60 kilometers one way, 50km autobahn and 10 km country road.
my marauder drives with LPG, it is very cheap in germany. normal fuel is very expensive.
98 octan is forbidden in gemany, because it is loaded, so we have unloaded fuel with 92 octan, i think (excuse my english)

LPG!! Liquid Propane Gas?!?

Cool, it might be the only Propane Marauder!

[Coupe]

otherwise i can´t maintained the car in germany! one litre fuel costs €1.50!!!
one litre LPG only €0.71 and we have a fix tax until 2018!!!!

[jdando]

michael,

Can you start a new thread about the LPG. It would be interesting to have pictures of the conversion, storage tank and injectors.

The car looks great in Germany!

[justbob]

Autobaun, now that would be one fun ride!!! Welcome Michael, enjoy the site and yes tell us everything you know about the LPG conversion, Who did it, what kit did they use, and pictures.

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Welcome, and the Rauder looks good. Are those the stock headlamps, or have they been modified?

[cougar9150]

Hallo. Großes Auto und Sie kamen zum rechten Platz zu jeder möglicher Information, die Sie benötigen können. Sie können Antworten zu fast allen möglichen Fragen finden, die Sie haben können. Traurig für schlachtenden Deutschen aber mich erlernte meiste, was ich von den Schweizer Leuten weiß. Meistes ist schlecht. Ich musste Hilfe on-line erhalten, um dieses zu schreiben.

[justbob]

Yeah, what he said^

[2,4shofast]

Yeah, what he said^


I agree...;)

+1..... there was that company that dropped a Triton V-10 into a CVPI fueled by LPG. Never heard what happened to the project besides the one-off they built. Propane octane is over 100, right?

[Taemian]

otherwise i can´t maintained the car in germany! one litre fuel costs €1.50!!!
one litre LPG only €0.71 and we have a fix tax until 2018!!!!

Wow, one EURO is about $1.60, 4 litres in a gallon, so nearly $6.50 for a gallon of gas!

YIKES!!:eek:

[Taemian]

Welcome, and the Rauder looks good. Are those the stock headlamps, or have they been modified?

I thought they looked smaller than ours (like a sealed beam unit or something).

Michael, willkommen auf unsere Mercury Marauder Webseite.
Hier kannst du vieles lernen, viele ideen, und du kannst ein haufen geld los werden.
Mein mann und ich haben zwei Marauders. Meine Familie lebt noch in Deutschland. Wir sind von der Stuttgarter gegend. Mein mann und ich haben uns schon lange gefragt wie schnell unsere Autos waeren auf der Autobahn.
Da du mit LPG faehrst glaubst du das du genau so schnell fahren kannst wie wir mit unseren benziner? Ich kaenne mich mit LPG nicht aus. Wie schnell bist du schon mit deinem gefahren?
Hast du dein Auto nach Deutschland importiert? Entschuldige fuer die vielen fragen aber mein Mann steht hinter mir und sagt mir was ich schreiben soll :rolleyes:
Habe viel spass mit deinem Maurader. Wenn du fragen hast du bist auf die richtige Webseite. Die leute hier sind sehr freundlich. Wir sind schon zu zwei treffen gefahren und kennen viele leute persoenlich. Wir wohnen in Washington Staat, und wir sind 3 tage gafahren um unserer Marauder freunde zu treffen.
Da ist ein junger Mann der ist jetzt in Ramstein stationiert, sein name ist James.Er ist ein sehr anerkannter freund von vielen leuten hier. Sein screen name ist AmnGrueser. Vielleicht koennt ihr euch mal treffen.
Also ich las dich jetzt gehn aber wenn du irgend welche fragen hast du kannst ruhig auch ein PM ( Private Message)schicken.

Tshues

And if she said anything bad about me it was a lie. :cool:

[252life]

Now we are 2 from Europe :D And my name is also Michael, what are the odds of that?

You can get 255 rear tires in Germany, I know because I Just ordered some tires for my car, from Germany.

And i noted you don't have any side indicator on the front fender is that legal in Germany?
Do you have a picture of the rear of the car. Do you have a fog light there?

[Bluerauder]

And if she said anything bad about me it was a lie. :cool:
No, but she did say that you were standing behind her asking all the questions for her to write down. :D

[jdando]

N.... You can get 255 rear tires in Germany, I know because I Just ordered some tires for my car, from Germany....

And look at the brand name on the tire "MARAUDER" :banana2:

[larryo340]

Welcome, and the Rauder looks good. Are those the stock headlamps, or have they been modified?
Nice catch, now I'm curious too

[MM03MOK]

How cool is this!!!!! :D Even has the right font and pitch!

[Coupe]

wow, very nice people! thank you all!!!!
i hope, i don´t forget to answer a question:
no, in germany we don´t need side markers at importcars, but we need a rear fog light, but i´d delete it ;-)
the headlamps are original but with european headlamps inside. good idea for the german TÜV (car-control), but i want to get the originals!
last week, i bought new tires from usa, can´t find this size in germany!
i´ll open a new thread about LPG!

@mrsteamrope:
dankie für deine lieben grüsse, freut mich, dich kennenzulernen. freue mich riesig über jeden kontakt in die staaten. das ist mein traumland, aber leider war ich erst zweimal dort.
zum LPG, also angeblich soll es kein leistungsverlust sein, wenn man mit gas fährt. ich habe den wagen einmal bis zum anschlag gefahren, da hat er bei 190km/h dicht gemacht. so wie bisher jeder ami von mir. ich fahre aber auch nur immer 120-130km/h, macht doch am meisten spass. ich werde noch einen extra thread über LPG eröffne, so wie es gewünscht wurde. hoffe, mal wieder von dir zu hören!!!!

[Bluerauder]

... ich habe den wagen einmal bis zum anschlag gefahren, da hat er bei 190km/h dicht gemacht. so wie bisher jeder ami von mir. ich fahre aber auch nur immer 120-130km/h, macht doch am meisten spass. !!!!
Rough translation for the members .... he has only pushed it once to the speed limiter at 117 MPH and normally only runs in the 74-81 MPH range. :D

[Coupe]

i love the autobahn :-)

[Master]

Welcome from Canada! Can't wait to get my conversion as well. I have my car at DRs in Florida. It is on my list of To Do.

I plan on taking classes soon. I understand and speak alot more than I can read and write. My grandmother was from Hanau Germany and my company is based out of Switzerland. I learned the most from my grandmother and picked up more when I had to go there for work. Plus I work with a bunch of Swiss, German, and Austrian guys that I'm always talking trash. It's nice to piss some one off in there own language. I may have to move there in a few years as I go through managment training so I want to be pretty fluent if I have to stay for a couple of years.
