Hi Brad: Thanks for the heads up. It's on my calendar. I'll be bringing the 74 wagon this year if all goes well. Regards, Joe in Morgan Hill, CA

blupinto · « **Reply #3 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:05:50 PM »

I can't wait to go!!! I'll probably be bringing Green Meanie, as Wildfire is still down and out. Kimmy, here's your chance to meet the inspiration for your wagon collection! lol.

I know it Becky! I sure hope I can talk hubby into going again!! I had a good time last time, but this time I'm leaving the dog at home! To hot for her! You watch it will be cold this time! LOL

blupinto · « **Reply #5 on:** January 06, 2010, 04:42:45 PM »

I understand it was a freak heat wave. 102 in April is really freaky! If it's cool I might take Karma. What chariot(s) are you bringing if you guys can go? I hope you guys can come!

I'm not sure which one will get to go! I'm not sure if we would trailer one down there again or drive this time. I would like to take Shaggy if I had her done, but I'm not sure if she will be done by then. If not, I would probably bring the Ghost again, but I would trailer her for sure! Don't want to drive her that far! I don't care if people call her a trailer queen! Least she is a Queen! LOL

blupinto · « **Reply #7 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:00:20 PM »

So true! Kimmy, definitely bring Ghost and may I sit in her driver's seat just for a minute or two? I want to reminisce when I had a '72...

pintogirl · « **Reply #8 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:11:13 PM »

LOL, well I hope I have the money to have her seats redone then!! LOL I have to cusions on the seat right now!! LOL

blupinto · « **Reply #9 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:18:21 PM »

No worries Kimmy! Natural Pinto seats are fine. I just want to REALLY nose through Ghost. My BlueStarPinto (my '72s name) had pop-out windows like Ghost.

78pinto · « **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2010, 01:25:41 PM »

I would love to attend this also, but i'm not sure my car will be ready by then. Lots of logistics going clear across the country! Talk it over with wifey, and talk to my chassis guy to see when he thinks car will be done.

blupinto · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2010, 09:54:49 PM »

I'm dying to know the SURPRISE! lol. Are they calling for bag-stuffin' volunteers again this year? Count me in!

Pintosopher we would really like to see your car on display down here this year at Knotts.

Boo-bubububububoom is ma-kin' me waiaiaiatin'.... or something like that. This is what happens when I'm up WAAAAY too early and have already had my beanery fix! lol. :lol:

Yup that's him. Maybe Barth is finally going to come into the computer age.

Pintopower · « **Reply #23 on:** January 19, 2010, 01:16:53 AM »

Bipper, Barth will never enter the computer age.

As of last Saturday, the letters from the Ford Car Club Council will be mailed out. I will call Carrows to book the place (I think we pushed the poor Fairlane guys out!). I am open to sugestions on what to do Saturday. I am thinking about AutoBooks-AeroBooks in Burbank, CA in the morning. I know the owners VERY well and we can reserve the parking lot for a Pinto meet from 8am to 12. I know a few guys in the entertainment industry and it is very possible that we can get some TV time from this. I am just wondering if this is to much for you guys. I know everyone stresses for Sunday so I want to make sure that Saturday isn't to much.

www.autobooks-aerobooks.com

Let me know.

I have 5 cars going this year! It's a record for me! The first Fab Fords I went to had 5 Pintos total! After a lot of hard work this year should break a record!

I am looking for well posed photos from those of you who own a Pangra. Send me a PM if you need any more info. Thanks

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:01:22 AM »

Alberto, usually I cordanate the Carrows breakfast but if you want to do this thats great. We should talk about it though so we dont duplacate efforts.
Thanks
Brad

blupinto · « **Reply #26 on:** January 19, 2010, 10:30:17 AM »

Will they need bag-stuffers this year? Cross your fingers I can bring a Pinto at all... $:-\$

Pintopower · « **Reply #27 on:** January 19, 2010, 05:16:12 PM »

Sorry Brad, I didn't know that. I've been booking that place since '03. I guess we have always been double booking. Better two reservations than none. Let me know if you need anything. I just emailed 50 Pinto owners in the surrounding area plus I called and mailed out the new flyers to those without internet. I will find out about the bag stuffing. Everyones help last year was great! RacerX or Pushthepinto will get back to me with the details.

Just got my entry and will send it in this week.

Lots to do though.

302 is out and sold, 351 is in pieces, but short block is all shiny and ready for build. Wiring will be done and new legal fuel cell will be in.

Glad it is in late April, I will need the time.

It will drive this year and not be on a trailer.

SO far been in 2 magazines last year. Car and Craft in their cruising article and in Grassroots Motorsports in readers rides. Hope to have a better looking car with more parts on it this year.

pintogirl · « **Reply #29 on:** January 22, 2010, 10:26:05 PM »

Wooo hoooo!!! It is official! We are going to Knotts again this year!!!!
