Does anybody have a copy of the MM commercial a while back? I was telling my son about it, but would like to show it to him..

This is only fokelore. We've heard about the commercial, but no one has ever found it. Write to MTV - they may still have a copy if you tell them when you saw it.

From what I understand, the only place a MM specific commercial was shown was on Speed Vision
There were a couple of Mercury commercials where a MM was in the background, one being passed by an Aviator, but none of those even mentioned the MM
If you find the Commercial, let us know

Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.
Ummm...I'm just a bit confused. If you're asking about a MM "commercial" like amyone would expect to see on brodcast TV between programs, I've never seen any such broadcast, never before heard of one before either. I'm not saying it's not possible, I just haven't heard about one.Originally posted by Second Wind

But, there have been cable programs which highlighted the MM in a 10-12 min "special" broadcast. At "www.kennybrown.com" you can follow links to a SpeedChannel broadcast from June of '03.
The automotive magazine "AutoWeek" produced it, and you can download a copy from the KB site, or, call Kevin at Kenny Brown (317.247.5320) for your own copy on CDRom.
BTW, the MM you will see, is the #1x.
i remember seeing a commercial on regular broadcast tv before the mm came out, thats what turned me on to it. it featured the mm in a parking garage backing into a stall and the cars on either side of it kind of leaned away from it as if they were afraid of it. awesome commercial, thats when i knew i had to have one

I do remember seeing a commercial for the MM...it showed the car prowling slowly around in a parking garage, exhaust rumble very prominent, until it pulled into an empty space. The camera zoomed out to show the cars on either side actually move sideways (through the magic of computer effects), as if to give the MM more room...I only saw it a couple of times and didn't even realise what the car was until much later...
edit: OOPS...looks like bugsy beat me to it...well, nice to know it wasn't a crack-induced hallucination!

There was a commercial shown inside FoMoCo a while back. Kind of cute, shows an MM in a parking structure, with other cars "making room for it". I made a Windows Media file from a videotape, kind of rough, about 1.5 meg that I can send if you have ability to take it. PM me with your email address if you are interested.

OMG, you are correct, bugsy, thanks! I forgot all about this episode, and once you described it, it all came back to me. Hmmm...I wonder where we all could get a copy of this.Originally posted by bugsys03

Ummm...I wonder if Paul T. Casey feels like writing another letter...
The parking Garage one is the commercial that appeared on Speed Vision. It did not air on regular broadcast TV.
Yes, if there is a way of linking to it for this site, please do

Please...WE gotta have this MISSING LINK !
receive an owners manual on a CD when you bought your Marauder? I did, and the introduction at the begining of the CD is pretty cool. It shows the Marauder doing some minor burnouts w/some heavy metal type music in the backround. And the prase "302HP" flashes a few times on the screen too. I've always wondered if that intro on the CD was taken from a Marauder TV commercial. Because it does look like a commercial.
I saw it once....once

If you e-mail it to me at martin@oglaw.net, I would be happy to host it on my website for a while. Just a thought....Originally posted by seabreeze
