Hey Guys! We had a great trip up north to see the Nor Cal Pinto guys! The weather was great and we all made it back home safe! Although, I think the winner of this years road trip was Sirhugh in my 1980 Sedan. RacerX's starter was giving him some minor problems and my poor Christine lost Second Gear (turns out 10 years of weekly canyon runs, race tracks and drag strips can wreak havok on a C4) and my damn A/C, which kept my butt at a cool 54 degrees on the drive up died half way back! Son of a b#@^&. My 80 sedan however, didn't miss a beat! With a week of San Francisco driving plus all the way back home, the car averages 38 MPG and BLASTED up the grapevine with my V6 in tail.

The Golden Gas Tank goes to Colonel Mustard!

As usual, no pinto meet would be complete without forcing thomas and leonard to change a motor mount. This year, the car in question was my Uncles (Pintozeals dad) 68 LeMans. Sadly, due to a lack of Pintony (actually, the replacement mount was wrong) we were unable to change the mount. For those of you who dont know, Pintony, Leonard (Lencost), Me, My Uncle Rocky and Thomas (lovepants72) were the ones that repaired Thomas' 72 Pinto before the last All ford show at Knotts Bery Farm.

Meeting all the nor cal guys was great! I also met a couple of really nice Mustang II owners up there. I have a really great shot that RacerX took that I will post after he develops the pictures.

Now I know why they call it Fun Ford Sunday !!  9 Pintos; 11 PCCA members; many more family and friends; over 300 Fords of all types and years. That's what I call a great car show. We all gathered last Sunday for the 12th annual show and boy did the Pinto fraternity show up this year. A special thanks to the group from SoCal that made the long journey up north ( 350 miles?). Alberto ,Francesca, and Mario brought their Pintos and Thomas went along for the drive. A very special attaboy to Chris Freitas (our Pinto Chief Cheerleader) who made many calls and posted many invitations and was very instrumental in our success at this show. Following are the entrants at this show: (1) Chris (chrisf1219) 77 wagon; (2) Emily (pintozeal76) 75 2.3 sedan; (3) Francesca (Sir Hugh) 80 2.3 sedan;(4) Alberto (pintopower) 79 V6 wagon; (5) Mario (racerx) 74 wagon; (6) Joe (redmustangman3) 71 V8 sedan; (7) Chris (bmpstk) 72 runabout; (8) Mike (mpintotoo) 72 Boss; and (9) Paul (skunkyp56) 72 runabout. I'll try to post some photos, this is always exciting?? Thanks again to all that attended and hopefully next year we can gather many more Pintos. Joe in Morgan Hill
