Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: Srt on January 16, 2009, 02:57:51 AM: Works in progress just highlight how dedicated we all are to a genuine automotive classic.

Bring it out. You will have a blast
Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: redmustangman3 on January 16, 2009, 08:53:14 AM: I also received my application yesterday and will be sending it out shortly. It sure looks neat having our own classification . The Pinto is in the shop having some minor repairs and cosmetic surgery performed. The biggest thing was to have the windshield replaced with a new SHINY one. Brad will like that!! Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Joe in Morgan Hill, CA

Post by: Pintopower on January 16, 2009, 03:54:47 PM: I just sent 5 applications in for me! Lets hit that 40 or dare I say, 50 mark this year! If you have more than one running pinto, beg your wife, sister, brother, dad, uncle, neighbor, cat, mail man, etc. to drive it there for you! That's what I do! I don't care if your car is 100k clean or a driver, as long as you love it, bring it! If you know someone that has one, get them to go (looks at cutelilputtput t)! Can't wait for the show! I will keep you posted on the day before. We will have another gathering at my house! If you need a place to stay, don't waste money with a hotel room, we have space! In fact, Lovepants72 said you can bunk with him and his bother on their bunk beds. Now I don't know a better invite than that!

Steve, the car is in San Juan Capistrano. There is an amtrack station that is 2 blocks from the car. The show gets out at about 3:00pm ish and I am sure there are trains that run back to Fullerton. Just check the Amtrak schedule.

Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: Lost Coz on February 24, 2009, 05:23:30 PM: My wife and I are hoping to make it this year. Already sent the application in, just not sure about her days off. We are planning on leaving our place on Shasta Lake, Calif on Friday morning and spending some time with friends in the LA area Saturday, then attend the show on Sunday. We are heading back north on Sunday night or Monday morning, just depends on how much fun we have. If anyone this far north needs someone to run with, let me know. We might be able to link up for the drive south and north. For us, I-5 is a straight shot to SoCal about 600 miles. Don't think I'll have the paint finished by then, but the 73 will still look cool with all the other Pinto's. This sure sounds like a lot of fun. Hope we see you there!

Pinto"s are Cool!

With any luck, I will have some progress complete on it as well as I have been there as a work in progress with little progress made. Here is a picture of my car at the 07 event to show that works in progress are welcome

Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: Pintosopher on February 27, 2009, 07:05:42 PM: Hello all,
Just a word of caution regarding the security of the precious rides that you may be bringing to the "golden state' and the LA basin. Our state just declared a 10.1% Unemployment rate, up from 8.6% in December. Property crimes in the Sacramento area are on the rise where I live. Anything of value will be a "opportunity" for Theft and possibly more serious consequences.
I hope the Security at Knott's will be premium, and anywhere close by that you may stay, residential or Hotel/Motel will have adequate security. 10.1% of 35 million people is a bunch of chaos waiting to happen. Don't help anyone steal your rides, plan accordingly. Offer to help Brad with any operations related to your presence and your fellow club members.
I know that if you start now, it will go smoother when you arrive. It won't be any fun if you haven't prepared.
Brad , this isn't alarmism, just a heads up for people who may not be familiar with the dynamics of our State.
Hope all goes well for this show, it sounds like a record breaker for attendance.

Pintosopher

I understand the concern, however please realize that the security at Knotts will not be the problem. There are always people by the pintos that will keep an eye out. The rest is common sense. If someone is willing to go through the hoops you put in their way to get your stuff, then yes, they will take it. I am one of the 10.1% and do not feel any different than I did this time last year about the safety of my vehicles or house. My truck was broken into last year because a camera was left in plain sight on the seat. What they did not see or get was the other camera and presents in the car. If they did not see the 1 camera, they would not have broken into the truck.

That being said, anyone who is traveling from a distance will need to do what they feel is necessary to keep their cars safe.

See you at the show.
Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: Pintosopher on March 01, 2009, 09:50:53 AM: Vonkysmeed,
I'm sure that we may agree on many more subjects than just a perception of Risk. I too am one of the 10.1% and my community used to be considered "safe" from the majority of the Theft and other crimes. We just had a Dead body turn up in the lake near a Bike trail and a crime scene with a hit & run and bloody impact marks on a "unmarked Law Enforcement" style Crown Vic , all in one 24hr period. Our crime log is becoming jammed with new data. And the county is cutting law enforcement too.
The issue of Safety at the Show is not a real concern. The neighboring areas and the statistical laws of averages , given the economy, are relevant. I was a resident of Anaheim many years ago and it was a "safe" community beyond any concept that we hold today. I wouldn't consider it such now.
Bottom line,
Prepare for the worst, but expect to be surprised for the best! :)

All the best,
(my budget precludes attending)

Well you've done it! The level of enthusiasm that you have projected these past few months, has solved the energy crisis. We no longer need to worry about the impact of energy shortages, solar or wind power generation, although the politicians wind could take care of the whole thing!
I hereby declare the "Quest for Knott" as a solution for the carbon footprint, and encourage all equine auto enthusiasts to "SHOE UP". If you have "stimulus" coming your way, what better way to "Make Hay"?
" There is no such thing as Glue factories," just tell youselves that daily and you'll be fine!

The neighbors are looking out their windows...wond ering what that unworldly screech was! It were me!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Now, about that other comment... There IS something special about your car. In fact there are a couple or more things special about your car, Kim... One, it's a Pinto, and two, It's a Pinto that belongs to a special someone who loves Pintos. I could name a few more things, but I'd be old and gray by the time I finished! lol.

Kim, are you sure we're not twins separated at birth?! The Baby passed another test: we schlepped all OVER the place today running errands and such. My friend's new neighbor stopped me before I departed her house and he SHOOK MY HAND and said, "I LOVE YOUR CAR!!!" He hadn't seen a Pinto in something like 20 years. He also said, "If you had a Pinto you had a car!" Oh, anyway, the twin thing... today's test confirmed it: The application is in the mail tomorrow too! Now to cure her clattering noise... OOOOOOHHHHHHHH I'm so excited!!!!!

Post by: blupinto on March 09, 2009, 10:01:24 PM: Oh, sorry Pintosopher. I didn't mean to leave you out. All that excitement about Kim and Hubby and Ghost coming down... Oh there's no excuse. lol.

Anyway, between our enthusiastic energy and the politician's hot air it's a wonder that the Earth didn't either a) spontaneously combust, or b) the Polar ice caps didn't melt and drown us all! lol.

No problem, no worries... Just need darker shades 8) Wish I was attending, just to watch you ladies ogle the wheels that will be there!
Chris F,Becky and Kim, Just remember the Gov't has Infrared satellites that can sense your heat signatures. Don't start a Defcon scenario with the mirth of the day. ;D

With any luck, she will bring her 73 - 289 pinto that she bought last year on ebay. Today, I was the lone pinto in a sea of Hot Rods. If you are bored and have the $$ to spend, come on down to the show. My car will be parked in Homebuilt Haven near the front entrance. If not, see you April 19th

You better make it!! That is the whole reason I kept pushing hubby!! LOL I want to meet you!! I am also hoping baby can make it too, but if she can't you still need to come!!!

What's your holy grail? The runabout with the half glass lid??? If that is it, don't worry, I didn't find that!! LOL
Title: Re: 2009 Knotts Fabulous Fords Forever
Post by: blupinto on March 16, 2009, 12:14:43 AM: :lol: :lol: :lol: You kill me Kim! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only death and severe disfigurement (or the Baby breaking down halfway there!) will keep me from getting there! I meant the growing anticipation! You better believe I better come! I want to meet you too! Plus, I have some stuff for you...

Yes, the half-glass Runabout is one Holy Grail. What I speak of is even more rare! It combines two of my passions (and I have a few- but these are my oldest and deepest passions!) - Ford Pintos and Breyer horses (plastic model horses). In the early days Breyer produced some pinto models for Ford to use as awards for dealers selling the most Ford Pintos. Some came on a wooden base with the chrome emblem on it and one of these plastic horses painted white with brown spots. It featured a foal or a stallion (walking), mare (standing) and foal (standing). In my Breyer model book there's a picture of one of these statuettes. When I saw it I about died. That's THE holy grail for me!

It was a good show. On Saturday, I was the only pinto in attendance, Sunday brought a second one out of the woodwork. If you attend many of the hot rod shows in so cal, you become familiar with some of the cars. Lots of nice old American steel and some new (mustang, g8) and some imports (Lotus 7, MG with v8, VW with v8 in back...)

My car had a lot of comments, grins, laughs and thumbs up. If you live near, I would definitely recommend going to this show or shows like Doughnut Derelicts in HB. It is always rewarding with the comments.

See you at Knotts

And we all know who talks to their horse of course, of course

Go right to the source and ask the horse,

We'll give you the answer that you endorse..

Talk to Mr Fred,

When Becky and Kim can't get the gist, and everything's coming up on the short list..

You might have thought they'd have thrown a shoe, but then you think it could happen to you..

You say you can't fix a part of your horse?

Well listen to this, .... "I am Mr.Fred!"
