Of course I will be there, can't miss all the comments from the Mustang owners. Not to mention the "I had one of those" replies from the public. And that line of Pintos of different colors and conditions is very impressive. But the important thing is the Pinto owners that go there, are a bunch of GREAT people, intelligent, friendly and willing to help one another. And if you notice there is a very great age difference, from very young to old (me). Hurray! Keep those Pintos running!!

I'll be there with my V8 '72 Runabout. Gotta' keep those Mustang owners in line....

blupinto · « **Reply #8 on:** March 17, 2009, 10:08:59 PM »

What breakfast? Did I miss something?

I'm in a race between:
"You must have your registration form postmarked by April 6 and received shortly after."

And:
If replacing the head gets the '73, Turbo Pinto wagon running decently and that can be accomplished before April 6th, then yes, I plan on being there.

----------------------------------------------------------

I started porting my replacement head today. I wasn't intending to port it, but if I'm putting a head on it simply doesn't get to the car without passing the grinder.

The donor car engine ran crappy. I knew that. I tried to get by on the cheap and didn't replace the head bolts. Strange though, no water lose or bubble. No smoking. But #2 only has 80 PSI, the others in the 140-150 PSI range. I put oil in the cylinder, but still only 80 PSI so I'm assuming (and hoping) it's not rings.

Anyway, hopefully next week I'll have the ported, roller cammed head on and be running much better than I was. If not I'll still probably go, but without my Pinto.

Tom do it the aircraft way on #2, get it at top dead center on compresion pump air into cylinder listen to intake then go back to exhaust pipe then take oil cap off, so what ever 1 you hear air leaking thats youre problem. Fred

Wittsend · « **Reply #11 on:** March 19, 2009, 08:10:45 PM »

You know Fred, I tried that. But my "over 50" ears either can't hear it or I hear it everywhere.

The head is ported, the chamber is cleaned up the valves are done. I just need to get the head set gaskets and find some time next week to swap out the head. Hopefully that is the major issue. I ran codes and nothing important was found.

We will see next week.

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #12 on:** March 19, 2009, 08:37:35 PM »

Tom I want to see you're auto there, so keep working on it every day like I am trying to get 73 going. Its ugly looking but I want to bring to make every 1s cars look good. Fred

Dan · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:21:45 PM »

Hi Brad, Should arrive about 7:30 from S.D. and unload at Sears. I'll be at Denny's? for breakfast bout 8:00 and then we can caravan into the show. It's a blast to see everyone look when your bringing 40 pintos to the show. The restaurant is on Beach about 1/4 mile west of Knotts, lets see I should make it there in 11 seconds. Ha. Dan Blue Pinto. :accident: :accident:

blupinto · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:39:10 PM »

Me for sure and possibly a friend.

pintogirl · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:33:10 PM »

I just read the Registration form and it says that they start letting cars in at 7am and no cars are allowed in after 10am. So that means we would have to be done eating breakfast and on our way to the show before 10am!! Wouldn't it?

Pintopower · « **Reply #23 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:49:40 PM »

I am bringing my four Pintos and my sister (SirHugh) is bringing hers. Lovepants72 is bringing his as well.

pintosopher · « **Reply #24 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:04:49 PM »

Sounds like a real party :drunk: Does anyone have a total vehicle count to date for us Absentees who are metaphorically tied up in the Back pasture? Brad? I'll need to see a Wifi video compellation in real time so I won't feel compelled to to break my hobbles and gallop off in a southerly direction :laugh:

Ah , My Dakota ME (Motorsports Edition) is looking mighty tempting for a banzai run to LA-La land, Where's my plastic ? CHARGE!

Ooops, the stablemaster has my bucket of Oats, time to calm down.. Neiggh!

Pintosopher, a horse of a different color..

blupinto · « **Reply #25 on:** March 25, 2009, 11:15:28 PM »

I think it's time to break out of the ol' corral. Doesn't running around in circles get a little old? Stop spinning your wheels and breathe in that fresh air of Freedom... who knows... the pastures in the southland might be greener, and maybe the holder of your beckoning bucket of oats might need to escape the hobbles too. Just a thought...only a thought...

:fastcar: :tgif: Thank Goodness I'm Free!

pintosopher · « **Reply #26 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:51:23 AM »

Becky,
I would love to debate the concept of "free". Many wise people have defined it in the past. "Gas, Grass , Or A** no one rides for free" A free republic (Hah)
Free energy (Nah) Free will (maybe) Free Willie (Woah!) Free Range (Yah,good Chicken & Beef)
Free to attend, (subjective, open to interpretation) Free to converse,(Hmmm another human challenge, Flirtation is a prosecutable offense!)

Free to abstain, (not if Big Brother has his way!)

Hmmmmm , more oats, all organic, steel cut , with Fresh molasses..

Neigh ,frrbbb, neigh... Ohh Wilbur...

blupinto · « **Reply #27 on:** March 26, 2009, 12:58:38 PM »

I was merely trying to convince certain pintosophers to come celebrate Pintos at Knotts, not start a debate about freedom. Nothing- NOTHING in life is free. So I'll be happy with what I have... the sun, my pets, my home, my Pinto.

pintosopher · « **Reply #28 on:** March 26, 2009, 03:41:03 PM »

Dearest Becky,
Yee shall always be blessed if you have the presence of mind to be thankful for what you have.
This old horse ain't done trottin' yet, so be mindful of your perceptions.. Humor and Irony are sometimes in the same breed of horse, but I catch your drift :-)

Laugh even when its enough to make you weep..

Fred Morgan · « **Reply #29 on:** March 26, 2009, 05:34:02 PM »

I just made reservation at an RV park. Anyone need a place to stay FREE I have 2 more beds up front with extra TV. So maybe there is a FREE ride somewere. Fred
