Some year I will make the cross country drive but not this year
-
Even though I think the venue there is the worst possible one anyone could have ever chosen, and I hate Ford Mustangs, and I am in Northern California now....Of course I will be there.

Hello all, [/font]Online registration for Fabulous Fords Forever is now open!
[/font]https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07e6vh6dnj24321345&oseq=&c=&ch (https://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07e6vh6dnj24321345&oseq=&c=&ch)=[/font] [/font]The registration rate is ahead of last year's. Don't delay. More Pintos at the show means fewer Mustangs.[/font][/color] [/font]You do not have to have a PayPal account to use PayPal.
Please register as soon as you can. It looks like they will not only fill up this year, but they will do it in record time. Just so you know, the old way of mailing in a registration is still fine but thanks to the online method, people are doing it faster than before.
Thanks,
[/font]Alberto

;D well as a very small inside joke i know they wont let ant fiats in! have you bought a 500 yet? well that was fun cya alberto chris
-
I even got a registration in the mail and I haven't been for a couple of years!
:o
I really would like to go. My work situation is so unstable. But I still would like to go!
Matt, maybe you can put wings on your Pinto and fly the friendly skies!!!! (just kidding!) 8)
-
Just a note for everyone that may go to Knotts or can't go because of distance. I decided to try the Kool Redding Nites this year. It's a week long event. I'm going Friday thru Sunday. There should be over a thousand cars. I will miss Knotts but, will give the Redding folks a nice look a the ol blue Pinto. Should be a good time.
-
we are down to a month and this is all of the action? hope more cars show up than respond.
-
I'm going but taking my Bronco II this year. The Pinto is in the middle of some rehab work on the fuel system and won't be done. Still working on getting the lift kit installed in the Bronco II.
-
Well, bad news. We are not going to make this year's Knotts. :( Money and work are not going to well right now, so it is best that we don't go this year. We were planning on just going and hanging out with everyone with out taking a Pinto, then going to Disneyland after, but that had to be cancelled too. :( Hopefully things will be better next year.
Becky, make sure you take lots of pics and share them so I can see all the Pintos that show up. :D
-
Kimmy, if I knew you and Bob weren't going to show up I might not have bought an entry myself. I'm not sure it's a good idea to take the '74 wagon with a loose inner tie rod but that's what I registered. Money's been real tight here too. You're one of the few people who I can hang with and feel welcome. You'll be missed. I guess I needn't bring those couple goodies I was going to bring to you... :-\
-
i am going to be there but the only Pinto i will have with me is the one in my memories
-
I will be there but am not bringing a car into the show this year. Just to much going on in life at the present to spend the required time on the car.
-
Wow, looks like a light year. Sorry so many are missing. Hope next year will bring more pintos
-
I will be there this year.!! I signed up 2 cars.. A 78 Hatch and my 75 Bobcat wagon. i almost signed up a 3rd car by the deadline, but I wasn't sure if I would have enough drivers to take all 3. Looking forward to seeing everyone there... Steve
-

-

-
I going first year with a pinto been before with a Prerunner ranger and befor that with a 74 Capri can't wait is everyone meeting some were and driving in together ??
-
In the past, the plan was to meet at Carrow's and have breakfast together, then at 8ish we caravan into Knott's. THe ones who usually organize this are strangely quiet... :-X but I think that's still the plan. Alberto, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Let's just declare that Carrow's will be the Spot, so everyone can get on board......... .. Less confusion will mean more Pintos..
-
yes thats the plan carrows is just down the street from the show and of course it looks good with all the pintos go in together.i think there might be more pintos than you think cause i got my ticket last week.the show is sold out so theres 2000 cars. thats alot of fords. cya at breakfast and show. chris ;D ;D
-
If I don't make it, it's because the tires or the loose inner tie rod failed. lol :o
-
Becky! You can always hang out with Thomas and I! You had better be there, I am flying down there to see all of you and you are included in "all of you"! I think we have 18 or so cars registered (according to RacerX so chin up people! Has anyone seen Brad?

If anyone knows of another pinto that did not enter, My dads 32 did not get complete and we have a valid entry into the show. Meet me at Carrows and we can get you in.
Thank you
-
Hey Brian, I'd like to scoop that entry up from you. I didn't know they were transferrable, but I would/could put another Pinto in if I can. Steve

not typically transferable. I would give you mine to enter and I would use my dad's class 9. Once in the gate, would folllow the rest of the pintos
-
Cool! Ill see you at Carrows.. Thanks !
-
Couldn't make it this year. Not feeling well. I hope the Pinto community made us all proud!
Anyone who has been snapping pics please post so I can see what I missed.

Steve, I was looking all over for you. Sorry you aren't feeling well. I bought a Spearco AK Miller turbo set up and wanted to pick your brain... Here are some pics. There seemed to be less cars this year (of all types) from my observation (except Broncos)

I hope I speak for all there that a good time was had by all. The Pinto turnout was smaller than I've ever seen, and I missed the familiar faces that usually make the show! My Moxie BluBelle made it there and back without a hitch and with excellent gas mileage. Scott, I want to thank you for donating the goodies and I want to thank all who made it for being so great! Also, heartfelt thank yous go to those who wished us a safe and fun trip.

Here are some of my very favorite Pinto Peeps! Alas, because I don't recall three of the people in these pix (I am notoriously lousy with names) I'm not going to caption them. I do know Alberto (the lifeblood of the Western Meets) and his awesome sister Francesca, their friend Thomas, and our new friend Steve (Back In Blue) and his lovely family (stupid me forgot to get their picture!). They brought 3 Pintos! The gentleman in the Hawaiian shirt brought a gorgeous T-Bird, but he is also the owner of the legendary Disco Pinto! After the show, he, Alberto, Francesca and I had pizza together! I'm so glad I didn't change my mind about going! I am tuckered out but in the best way! The weather was perfect!

For those who are into the drifting scene... guess who I caught making a getaway from his booth...

now i'm pi$$ed!!!

Looking good!
Who picked up the blue/white racer? Is that the car that was on Hemming's classified for so long for 20k? That is a real prize...
SHINEY!!
-
Great photos everyone! :D I sure did miss you guy's this year. I really like making the Knott's show. It is like a vacation for me even though it is only a 2 day trip. I am hoping things go better next year.

Here are my images (I hope I got every ones cars, I know get distracted):

Let me know if the link doesn't work right. I wanted, actually, WE all wanted to thank Scott for all the goodies that he sent to us! In fact, here is a picture we took:
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8117/8678777784_97ca198c9c_z.jpg)
We all loved the metal Ford Pinto.com license plate frames but since there were only 3, the group decided that they go to the three members that could not make it to breakfast since they were busy parking the Pinto's at the show and giving out goodie bags. A big thanks again to PushthePinto (Barth) and Pintony (Pintony) for parking the cars and getting us a great spot. Lets also extend a special thanks to RacerX (who prefers to remain nameless, he's in the KGB I suspect ::) ) who goes to every single Ford car club council meetings to get us our special class!
It was a great show this year and I was thrilled to meet all the new folks! I miss the people that couldn't make it an lets make next year (the 10th anniversary of the West Coast meet) the biggest one yet!
