Just recently purchased a 2003 black MM, one owner with 62,000 km (38,500 miles). Hope to be able to pick it up in several weeks and put it away until spring. Will have time to detail it over the winter.
This will mean that my 1967 Ford Ranch Wagon may get used a little less this year.
This is a great forum and I have learned a lot before even making the purchase.

Thanks for having me!!

I will post up some pics after I get the car and have the time to figure out how to do so. Hopefully my wagon won't get jealous but the Marauder will be much more comfortable on the longer trips.

Yes found as a local trade in at a Ford dealership, the one owner car was traded on a Focus, apparently never winter driven and what I consider low mileage.
Apparently the previous owner had a winter car that couldn't be driven anymore, he bought steel rims and snow tires for it but in the end couldn't bring himself to drive it in the winter. Other than driving it home within the next week or so it will not see winter with me either. It will be stored along with my '67 Ford Ranch Wagon as I patiently wait for spring. Cant wait to enjoy it :banana:

My son and I usually do the Canadian Tire Queensway cruise to kick off the cruise season, he brings his '95 Taurus SHO. Hopefully it will not be a long winter.

Made the 4 hour drive to pick it up on Saturday, ran into some flurries but nothing major. Now the car just needs a bath. Can't wait for spring :)

Welcome aboard! The '67 Ranch Wagon sounds nice too.

The wagon is an original Georgia car that was completely restored before I purchased it, the only down side is that the bench seat is not comfortable on long drives.

Two years ago my son and I ( he has a 1995 Taurus SHO) drove to Carlisle and 7 hours later my butt was numb. These seats would just kill my wife's back, so the solution to the problem was a nice low mileage Marauder :D .

The good news is that she loved the 4 hour drive home on Saturday, the nice comfy leather seats did the trick.

Look forward to many nice drives, now hurry up spring!!

You will love driving the Marauder! I am having withdrawals since it is put away for the winter. I'm sure the wagon bench seat is a little uncomfortable on a long haul. You could always upgrade the seats and keep the bench to put it back original.

Hey guys, I'm in Ancaster. Would be pretty cool to get all of them together some time. Bought mine last summer, just starting to put parts and pieces together.

There is a silver here and he is a member, can't remember his name though.

It's the DTR's you won't find here or in all of Canada, DTR free, lucked out i guess.
