Title: Portland Oregon area meets?
Post by: 76hotrodpinto on October 23, 2014, 01:07:39 AM
Anyone around the portland area interested in helping organize a little pinto enthusiast event? Nothing to big and fancy, just a little show and shine with bbq and potluck or something like that. Be nice to meet some other folks with this affliction. Maybe a couple times per year, so we can check out peoples project progress. One horse and I aren't much, but maybe with you and your horse...

Yes, I would be interested in meeting other Pinto owners in the Portland Oregon area. It would be the inspiration to complete my project...

I totally forgot about this thread. I'm actually going to take the pinto to the eastport plaza car show and parade on saturday. If any of you want to coral the horses together for the show and such, I can get you the number to call. It's a $10 registration, all on the morning of.

I'll start to plan a pinto party too. You local guys want to meet up here in town? Or drive out of town a little and meet up somewhere wild?

I'd like to. I just couldn't find the time or the pintos last year. Between life, health issues and the pinto motor swap, I couldn't get around to much organizing. And I still have seen maybe 3 other pinto's in the time I'v had this one. Only got to meet one of the owners. If I could even get 5-10 of us together, I would love to organize a cruise and bbq type thing.

I will be entering the lents area car show this spring, in s.e. portland, again this year. If nothing else, maybe we could get a couple pintos clustered up over there.

I've managed to get about 10 Pintos in the line up for the next 82nd ave of roses cruise in, on April 25th. I'm going to get a whole area the Pinto coral. I'm also going to try to get all of us to a pre-meet sometime soon, maybe have some bbq.

I'm aiming for a few shows this year, so there is time.

I'm getting even more responses! Horses of EVERY color! And various build styles as well as survivors. We may need a picture taker.

So... I just found out the website I found for the 82nd cruise in, was for last year. It's April 30th this year. And we have the go ahead for the Pinto invasion, along with the clustering of the cars too. I'm going to sponsor a couple trophies this year, to help us make a good impression with the culture folks, and it's all for charity.

I'll pm everyone about the date change as well. Sorry.

C'mon down! Pm me an email address if you would like to be on the list of "locals". We're meeting at Jim Dandys in Portland on the 16th, for a chance to meet everyone. And our first show is on the 30th, in Portland.

Find something up there where we'd be able to go from the Portland area.  Or better yet, halfway.

Aww. I'm sorry I missed it this time.  looks like you guys had a blast! I finally figured out that my carb adapter plate was a touch loose and my pcv valve was causing a massive vacuum leak and I couldn't get idle under 1400 rpm. Now shes running like a top. I just have to replace my ignition switch and headlight switch and I should be back in business!!

Whats the details on the car show on  the 30th? Mine is not a show car, but I always enjoy the scenery.

The show on the 30th is in se Portland at Eastport plaza. I think it's $15 to register. There's a carnival with rides and such, for the childrens. It's called the 82nd ave of roses cruise in, if you want to google it.

I'm gathering other event suggestions from the locals here, and will post/message, for everyone to find ones that work best for them.

I'm also thinking about a picnic or bbq, where we can drag some of our miscellaneous Pinto parts out for swapping, trading, long distance part tossing, or what ever.

If beaches will let us in, I'm down. They tend to be a little uppity about their entries.

I got my shiny uncracked dash in. Just in time for next saturday, but now everything else looks even more haggard. It needs to get patina!

Show report...

I arrived to find some other Pintos already lined up, so I joined the ranks and got in line to register. The turn out this year was much larger than last year. Definitely more Pinto's! While I didn't trophy, one of the other ones did! I'll leave it to him to announce or not.

There were quite a few new cars too, but this guy hadn't even taken his out of the box yet!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/edjones/2016-04-30%2012.39.30.jpg) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/edjones/media/2016-04-30%2012.39.30.jpg.html)

Parking seemed to get pretty tight as the cars rolled in, so they brought in a special police unit, and some military, to help direct things and sniff butts.

So the next chapter is being planned now. I think many of us are going to the car show at Jim Dandys on the 21st of this month. It's an actual show, not just us.

 I'm also planning for a night at the 99w drive in Newberg Or. I want to try to get some sort reservation, but I have to know about how many cars/people to reserve for, and I don't have a date either yet, other than a weekend night. Kind of a catch 22, but if it's something you might do, let me know, and I'll try to get more info on that.
