    Thumbs up Season Closer Cruise

    My Marauder friend Achim and myself joined our local American car owners club for their annual Season Closer Cruise on Sunday. Mostly modern Mustangs, Corvettes and Camaros were in attendence but also a few trucks, classics and of course 2 Marauders!
    The cruise included a quick sprint down the Autobahn, some scenic country roads to a tranquil moated castle location for some photos and ended at an American Roadhouse restaurant for a delicious burger dinner by which time it was already too dark to take pictures.

    Sounds like it was great fun. Wish I could have had my Marauder when I was stationed in Germany, but alas that was 23 years before my 2004 Marauder was made. You represent mercurymarauder.net well.

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone. The check engine light is due to the propane conversation, it will always come on when running on propane. The error will come up as evaporative emission system leak detected and there is nothing I can do about it, all propane converted Marauders have this issue.

    Hi Marvin:

    It was great to see that you and the gang could get together before winter set in.
    I can't make next years Euro-Marauderville, but I will have you in my thoughts.

    As for people who noticed that the speedo was at 130 MPH. The Autobahn is like our Interstate 40 in much of the USA ............ no speed limit.
