Thanks for a Great Time...Cleveland Rocked!!

[Ms. Denmark]

Thanks to Jerry & Diane and Debbie & Ken for putting on a great party in Cleveland!! MV 14 did what all Maraudervilles do...and they did it so well, bring the cars and the people who love them together in one place and time... and in person and remind us that there is life beyond the keyboard! Plus you get to see some smokin' cars up close and personal.

Of course the best part of any MV is seeing old friends. Makes any trip worth while! And where else do you get to hang with Steve Babcock and get all your Marauder project questions answered? Plus we met so many new to us members on this trip and put faces to names we only knew on line. So if you couldn't make this one, come on out next year! Thanks again, guys! We had a great time!

Also want to thank the guys (and you know who you are) who answered questions and gave me their expert advice on my car when I needed it. Between ride height sensors and 0 rings, I got the very best advice and expert hands on help that money just couldn't buy. Another great perk of club membership...knowing all the right people.

Thanks to Jerry & Diane and Debbie & Ken for putting on a great party in Cleveland!! MV 14 did what all Maraudervilles do...and they did it so well.

Well said Paula !! Ken & Debbie and Pantheroc & Diane did an excellent job of putting this event together. Mrs. Bluerauder and I had a great time and hated to see it end. So many great activities that it is hard to pick a favorite. Friday at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame followed by the Goodtimes III Happy Hour cruise on Lake Erie was definitely memorable. Music and Memorabilia in the Hall of Fame brought back so many memories that it was an incredible experience. The Sunset- Happy Hour Cruise on Lake Erie was absolutely beautiful. Loved the train ( and especially the Club Car experience) on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railway (CVSR) and the visit to the Hofbrauhaus also took us back to our 6 years in Germany. Just a great showcase of Cleveland from end-to-end in Marauderville 14. Absolutely terrific !!!

I thought that the hotel choice was excellent. The huge 8 floor atrium provided an excellent view of the action on the ground floor below. The Manager's Free 2 hour Happy Hour every night beginning at 5:30 PM was definitely a bonus.

Thanks also to MM.Net owners and members for supporting this event and others like it. I consider the Marauder Gang among my closest friends.

The MM only car show at Fathead's Brewery and Taphouse also had a great turnout with 36 MMs represented (23 Black, 6 Silver, 4 DTR, and 3 Blue). Someone else has to post up the results from the car show and Wednesday night drag racing because I lost track during the Saturday night festivities.

I was also glad to see many new faces and screennames at MV14 including: Carnal Wigley, Laura Wollert, Jameel Talley, Big Mercur, Paris Loury (in a SB that he just bought 28 days ago), Jack Soulidis Jr. (in a SB with 7736 miles), mm svt, and 2 mercs !!! Very nice to meet you all !! Hope to see you again at Carlisle, Louisville or some of the other regional or local meets of MM friends and family.

Joanne and I talked about the great time we had during our drive home. We thought about other venues for future gatherings, with the pros and cons. The bonding that took place this week was amazing. Thank you to all who made this a memory for life.

Ken, Deb, Jerry, and Diane continued a long string of wonderful Maraudervilles. I had a great time and my only regret is that I didn't meet many of the newer members.

[Papillon]

Thank you to the planning gang for another great Marauderville. I had a wonderful time and it was so great to meet so many new members and put the face to the screen name!

Great job, y'all!

Supercharged winner was mmsvt, otherwise known as Riley Turk. James79Stang won the most miles traveled... 1446 miles from San Antonio TX. WPG Merc was not far behind, coming from Winnipeg.

And thanks to all of the racers, but you didn't have to let me win! But that brisk 89 degree cooldown put me over the top!

We were only the planners/ organizers/ facilitators. Everyone in attendance made the event. Even the new guys commented on that. Made me proud to be associated with all of you!

It was a great time!

Thank you to all who had a hand in it.

I'm thankful for meeting some members in person as well as a few new members

How could this ever get old

[MyBlackBeasts]

I concur! Ken & crew, GREAT job!

I wish I could have stayed for more of the weekend, especially Saturday night. Alas, midnight shift beckoned. I was glad to have been there Friday night.

To all of those who came to Cleveland, thank you for checking out our city. Hopefully some of the "mistake on the lake" jokes can be put to rest now?

Sorry we missed meeting you! Cleveland was pretty impressive and Eric and I enjoyed your city a lot.

ahh, YES!!!, no more jokes. We enjoyed walking around the city area from the Rock Hall tour. Think we logged around 5 miles on our "step" counters. We will have to come back and see more stuff -- great city!!!!
