...on my way home from work yesterday, heading up I-270 in Maryland from the D.C. beltway to Frederick, what do I behold 3 cars in front of me a Marauder yes a Marauder. He is not driving so fast and with traffic I catch up with him easily in the '95 Explorer, as I pull up along side him I honk my horn a couple if times to get his attention and give him the :up: , he looks over and waves. Continuing up 270 towards Frederick I get him to roll down his window, I try yelling to him, but he can not hear me.

As we enter Frederick he gets off at the first exit and I follow him, quickly writting down on a piece of paper "Mercury Marauder.net" and my handle. The stop light turns red forcing him to stop. I jump out of the Explorer and run up to his car give him the piece of paper and tell him to log on, that he can learn a lot of useful information here. Light turns green I run back to the Explorer and follow him to the next light. It turns red and out the Explorer I go run back up to his car, by this time he probably thinks I'm nuts, and introduce myself and ask his name, he tells me it's Ed. We talk a little more until the light turns green and back to the Explorer I go. I pass him one more time on my way home, honk and give him the :up: again.

Hopefully we will hear from him on here in the near future, so if your out there Ed log on and say Hi to everyone. Keep in touch and come to the next Capitial Area Marauder meet.

I have done the same here in Detroit...they must think I'm nuts as well.

I saw a blue one on Van Born, stopped him at a light, and learned he was not a member as well. I also saw a black one on Michigan Ave. near Telegraph, but the damn thing out ran me! Go figure!

Keep chasing them in our winter beaters and we may make the news :nono:

Good job, keep it up:up:

I also did the same here in Hinesville, GA. after seeing it parked in the waffle house parking lot, I approached the owner and he looked alittle apprehensive at first until I mentioned that I had one too, and told him about this "Awesome" site.
Gave him one of the members ID card and said to log in, hopefully he did and is enjoying the benefits and knowledge offered here. :rasta:

I did that the other week while driving home from work. A older fella passed me in a salty black MM. He probably thought, "That guy is retarded," as he passed me in my Escort wagon with a big :up: ! I couldn't catch him. The Radio Flyer is too slow!

Great Job Gordon, I am glad you didn’t try that in Baltimore. I find that when driving my other POV Marauders come out of the woodwork, something like roaches when the lights are out. Oh, on another note, I got my custom Black Nike mock turtle neck t-shirt Sunday with the 64 Marauder logo and checkered flag stitched on the neck. The next time we meet, Mrs Merc and I will be displaying the new Marauder Logo wear.

I found another MM in Schaumburg, other than my friends dad's MM. I might just make a run over there today and put a note on his car or the front door.

I'm going to have a hard time explaining a restraining order that requires me to avoid other Marauders by 500 feet.

Honey, is that a marauder coming at us? I need to pull into this parking lot.

That will make it very difficult for you to attend MV-II or any onther meet.

Right now there is a warrant out for Gordon as a "stalker"! I have to admit, though, I've gone out of my way to chase down someone and tell them about the site.

Ok you can chase them down, I knock on peoples doors when I spot one in their driveway. Obsessive compulsive! Go figure.
