Black MM on History HD channel

[oldekid]

Saw a black Marauder driven by a man named Ross Ballard, who is a former coal miner. He is now with John Hopkins University.

The show Hillbilly: The Real Story, aired at 8:00 PM EST this evening, and will be shown again at midnight tonight on the same network. (It is shown also on the regular History channel as well).

There was a short clip of him driving his black MM down the road, and an inside shot of him, driving, while wearing his MM jacket.

This show is about the history of coal mining in West Virginia, and I was only watching it because my wife is a hillbilly from West Virginia.

Ross, any chance that you are a member of mercurymarauder.net?

You know oldekid...If this Ross guy was a member...he would be a CAMer!!! :burnout:

[oldekid]

You know oldekid...If this Ross guy was a member...he would be a CAMer!!! :burnout:TiTo, he's driving around in the hills of West Virginia. All I know is that he has an MM, and since he has the jacket, he must have been a new owner. He may not have access to cell service, let alone the internet. I just don't know.

All I know is that it caught me by total surprise to watch a documentary about hillbillies, and see an ex coal miner driving a Marauder. My wife was even surprised, and she is one good look'n hillbilly. :D

Someone needs to find him and leave him a card. . . . then he can become a CAMer.

P.S. I have absolutely nothing against hillbillies.

[Vortech347]

Hopefully someone can get a rip for us that don't have the premium cable package. :)

[Black_Noise]

oldekid, can you narrow down the time it appears?

[oldekid]

oldekid, can you narrow down the time it appears?Yes, it is showing again at 12:00 midnight EST tonight. It is on both the regular History channel and the HD channel.

I'm guessing you are probably an hour later.

[Black_Noise]

I mean does the MM guy appear in the first 15mins or the half hour mark or what?


P.S. its on right now for me, just started

[Black_Noise]

P.S. its on right now for me, just startedIf I remember right, he appears towards the end of the first hour, or maybe a little past. I was backing it up to get some of the info on his name and stuff, and really didn't notice the time. I am also recording it again, because we didn't get to see it from the beginning, and my wife was going to bed. She does that normally right around 9:00 PM. :)

I can't say for sure if they show anymore of him and his Marauder or not. I was flipping through the channels and just happened to catch it. Like I said, we didn't see the beginning, and after I saw that it was showing again in another two hours, I just set it to record.

Hope that helps.

after the 1st commercial they talk about the moonshiners growing pot instead of making shine to keep up the profits after the appeal of prohibition.

2nd commercial is on now.

2nd commercial is on now.They will talk about the Hatfields and the McCoys also. I just remembered that I hit the record button when I noticed the MM. I just went back and checked, and it is right at about an hour into the two hour show.

You will see the guy in his MM jacket, talking at first. Then after a short time, you will see his MM going down the road, followed by the in car shots.

Sorry to keep you up.
:banana:

[Black_Noise]

between comerciall 2 and 3 they go talk about how the "mountain men" fight the british back in the indepence days. about 40 min in now.

I was kidding about the staying up thing, i was also too lazy to "go advanced" to get the a smiley face to make that more clear.

Its a pretty intersting show either way.

[Black_Noise]

45 mins in I hear the names hatfield and mccoy.... getting closer

[Black_Noise]

THey talk about the railroad being built to get the coal out of the area, and problems with the locals and outsiders brought in to work on the railroad.

gotta be getting close.... about 55 mins in

[Black_Noise]
