I was really hoping to make it there this year, as it's the first time it has ever fallen on my weekend off from work! That, and the fact that my wife and the Pinto share their September 11th birthday! Unfortunately, other family responsibiliti es that I had hoped were going be resolved by now are not, and we're not going to be free to travel. Hope you have a wonderful show and maybe I'll be able to make it next year!

Dwayne,
Sorry to hear this but hope you will be able to come next year for sure.
If your plans should change last minute this year, we would love to have you.
Thanks,
Rob

Thanks, Rob - can't imagine any chance of things changing by next weekend but if by some miracle they did, I'd be on my way to Ohio in a heartbeat! Let us know how it all goes!

Not sure if I'm gonna be able to go now. I gotta take a very close look at my finances to see if I can afford to put gas in the car. I have missed it for one reason or another so needless to say if I cannot make it I'm not gonna be a happy camper. I'll know more later in the week.

Really hoping you and Harold II can make it!!
Let me know if I can help in any way.

Darn it, Dwayne. Meeting you was one of the big reasons for me to go. But I totally understand about other stuff being more important than a car show. It's happened to me a lot over the years too.
Still hoping to go, I need some more depression in my life right now. Heck, I almost smiled once last week. Nothing like being among a bunch of people who have something you don't anymore to make you feel good. :-/
Got to see where we are financially this weekend. My wife gets her first check Friday, but knowing that, we spent a bit too much last weekend on stuff we had been putting off. So things are a tad tight until I get paid in a week and a half. Of course she told me we spent too much AFTER we spent it. I let her do the checkbook and bills, sometimes she doesn't deduct stuff right away.
I can't even afford to get the T-shirt made I wanted saying "Yes, I am the idiot who gave away his Pinto for free." Thought that would be better than a name tag. :-)

Hi Russ! I'm flattered by your nice comments! I was looking forward to meeting you too, but I'm sure our paths will cross someday. The reason I can't come next weekend is a family issue. About two weeks after I got home from Carlisle, my handicapped (Spina Bifida) sister became very ill. She was a patient at the University of Virginia Medical Center for 17 days and had five surgical procedures while she was there. Since then, she has been recuperating and rehabilitating in a local nursing/rehab facility. For all of Beth's 51 years, our mother has been her primary caregiver but now Mom is in the mild to moderate stages of Alzheimers. She is no longer able to drive and yet she becomes quite upset if she isn't able to visit my sister daily, so it has fallen to you-know-who to get her there every day. When the Ohio get-together was first announced, I thought perhaps Beth would be home by then and my wife and I would be free to have a weekend getaway. Unfortunately, while she's recovering quite well, the target date for her discharge home is October 15th and I was just informed of this at a care plan conference last week. So... although I can finally (after eleven weeks) see a light at the end of the tunnel, any idea of taking a trip anywhere before then is simply out of the question. In the meantime, I hope you'll still be able to make it, Russ. If I know nothing else from my trip to Carlisle in June, it's that feelings of depression are darned near impossible when you're with a group of Pintos and their owners! Go and have a blast!

Hi Rob,

Well, as I said from the start, bringing THE BEAST to your Ohio event would depend on the weather. Unfortunately, as I only have an open trailer, the weather this weekend will prevent me from attending.

Wishing you a great event and looking forward to hearing lots of positive things about the Ohio Get Together.

Dick

Oh this is gonna be a tough one but I am doing what I can to get there. I have been told by quite a few that in my current predicament it is not a good idea as things are tight but my councelor thinks I need to take a day to just have fun no matter what. I'm gonna listen to her.

rallytwo · « **Reply #74 on:** September 10, 2011, 05:01:07 AM »

Dick,
I do completely understand and hope to have you the following year!!
Look for pics of the event here on this website soon after.
Thanks again,
Rob

Matt,
You should have some fun every once in a while. I think you should listen to her and come.
Also, we just received some cool Pinto things to give out not only from the Pinto Stampede people but also from Scott Hamilton of the PCCA nationals.
Rob

Scott Hamilton,
Thanks for sending the shipment of COOL Pinto goodies to give out at "The Ohio Get Together". I received them yesterday (Friday). I will be sure to give them out for those Pinto attendees at the show tomorrow. I know everyone will love them.
Thanks for your support from the nationals!
Rob

russosborne · « **Reply #77 on:** September 10, 2011, 06:07:16 PM »

well, I am not going to be able to make it after all. Financial issues just popped up. We will be fine next weekend, but right now I am not sure I even have enough gas to get to work this week.
Hope you all have fun.
Russ

I hope all you guys enjoyed the show. It is 12:43 PM & I just got done with fixing the rear end issue. It is all aligned but by the time I got all cleaned up I would be there for about an hour before I had to turn around & come home. I just couldn't justify the drive for one hour. The money isn't there anyways, as I don't even really have money to put gas in my daily driver, let alone the Pinto.

r4pinto · « **Reply #80 on:** September 11, 2011, 12:27:08 PM »

Just got back from a test drive & it turns out I made the right choice. After replacing the bad rear leaf spring it fixed the rear axle being too far forward on the driver side but it did create an alignment issue. The car now pulls a bit so before I take the car on any major drives I gotta get that fixed.

The "Ohio Get Together" was a huge success!! No rain and a beautiful day in Macedonia, Ohio.
Congratulation s to Jeannie(Pintogenie) and Doug Greenfield of Stoneboro, PA who won people's choice 1st Place!!
We had a WHOPPING 16 Pintos at the show from Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Thanks for coming on an iffy weather day that turned out great!
Thanks to Cookieboy for providing the Pinto scrap books. They were a big hit with all. Thanks to Scott Hamilton for providing more goodies from the national club.
Between the 50/50 and donations we raised $210.00 for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Please make a note that next year's show will be at the same location Sunday, Sept. 9TH, 2012.
Watch for pics on this website soon from the show.
Thanks to all who helped and attended. We hope to make it bigger and better next year.
ROB AND JIM

Glad the turnout was so good. Sucks the mechanical woes got my car & prevented it from going. Oh well, things happen for a reason I guess.

phils toys · « **Reply #83 on:** September 11, 2011, 10:35:54 PM »

just got home was a great day weather was nice, i started out in rain but it cleared up. i will get pics up in the morning. thanks jim for starting this event and rob for keeping it going. it was nice to see old friends and make some new ones. it was supprising to see the 16 pintos there. and it was a bigger shock to get the dj choice award.

Tommy,
Was great to have you and Nancy! I have some great pics of the police in front of your car. I tried to get him to put the police lights on but he wouldn't. We would like to have you come back next year but I'm hoping we won't have to call the police on you again.
Thanks!
Rob
