I have been asked to gether the troops of the southern regiment of Pinto/Bobcat PCCA members and owners. By the time I reach Richmond, I want to see a 100 :hypno: Pinto in a convoy heading to Carlisle. Who's with me??? :fastcar:
I really really want to. I AM in Southern California after all! I'm a Reb too (REBecca!) I'll even wear my gray cavalry hat! ;D
I'm with ya CB! I'll be the one riding the Pinto! :D
I am in Fredericksburg, VA, and plan to be at Carlisle in 2011 - wouldn't miss it! If a lot of folks are coming up on I-95, this may be a good break/staging area... if anyone's interested, let me know and I can look into finding us a great place for it. Can't wait!
:fastcar:
78 Squire,
I'm in, I hear you have a hot wife! Could I just stay the week with you? :)
John
What... is it 1863!? It sounds like the Army of Northern Carolina is marching north... ;D
Hey CB give me a honk when you go buy, I will fall in behind.
I will be coming from WI with a couple of people from here and one cookie eater from MN.
I am from southeastern KY and still have rebel blood going through me.

Dwayne :smile:
I am back and ready to get this Southern Invasion put together. We have only two years.
Looks like yall done been working at it without me!
Okay guys and gals. Email me at sharpe53@hotmail.com with which way yer coming and from where. This is to figger out where to join up the Battalions.
My plans are to go up I85 to Richmond and I95 to Carlisle. I will check out campgrounds, hotels, and such. Any ideas from yall will be great too!
I was thinking, there are going to be some that will have to fly in and will need rides from the airports.( :sleep: 8 Pinto wagons in front of Harrisburg airport picking up Pintoer and their luggage :sleep: :surprised:)
I will be looking in my email from confirmation and ideas!
2011
Second Gettysburg
Hey Robert!
Glad you're back! For me, Carlisle is a straight shot up I-81 so I'll more than likely just meet up with you there! Might not even get to go for the whole thing... I suspect we're going to have a conflict with my son's high school graduation... but definitely plan to be there for at least part of it!
Will look forward to seeing you again!
Dwayne :smile:
I just sent out the first of the emails, trying to contact NC Pinto owners. I used the member's map to get email addresses. South Carolina is next. I am waiting to see if anybody responses.
Got a response from Crashdaddyjt. Add another one to the convoy. :fastcar:
Hey 71pintoracer, is there a place near you that we could use as a staging point? You are between I85/I95 and I81.
Ok there seems to be a good gathering forming 8). We have Crashdaddyjt, DGA57, 78squirewagon, Smallfryfarm, 78squire, dryerjg, 71pintoracer, and me,
Carolina Boy. That is eight so far. If you yall know another Pintoer, ask them to join up.
Yee Haw!!!!
Carolina boy it all depends as to where I might be at the time,But I sure would love to.I would be behind this convoy a 100 percent. It would be be a blast I am sure of it.
:welcome: Hope you can!! Keep in touch!!
For those following this post, Scott and Hot-rodman36 has the total to 11. :amazed: 8)

Where you located, someone might give you a ride or a tow!!
I have gotten more emails so the numbers are rising, 20. Got some in Georgia and a few in Florida. Hey Wedge you're joining aren't you?
Looks like I need to send some more emails. My goal is 50 Pintos towed or driven and arriving all at once.
For everybody that joins up with this convoy I am offering a 3'x5' Bonnie Blue flag to fly as we arrive at the gate.
That is great.At this rate we might break the 100 mark.I can't wait for 2011 it's going to be a blast.

That bears a single star? lol. If I'm there I'll be wearing my you-know-what. ::) ;) ;D
Kant wait to see it Blu.
Pinto man, Wouldn't a hundred Pintos make all the others stand up and take notice? That would be something to see :surprised:!!!!!!
We'll need to coordinate a place to mass our attack. I could come north on I-85, but I-77 to I-81 is such a sweet ride I hate to not take that flank. Brother to the south, JT
Good idea, after all Charlotte is only 2 hrs from me. About sumertime I will start putting together the battle plan, see who will confirm, where and which way they want to go. We are going to have a blast.
One thing for sure, anybody joining the convoy is getting a Bonnie Blue 3x5 flag to fly, my compliment. I have about 14 Pintos in the convoy and working at more to roll into the fairgrounds. I am shooting for 50. I am also working on a Battalion flag for us.
Well the wagon is out...bought a 79 trunk w/V-8....I plan on being there with it.
Trying real hard to go east. I am a Texas boy living in California and hope to haul our tear drop out behind the pinchero for this historic event. BWB
This all great news!!!!!!!! Looking forward to meeting all of you. At this rate with a firm comittment from all involved,Carlisle will be overrun with Pintos
My apologies to all. I haven't be on top of the Southern Invavsion as I should have been. So I am starting today and gettin back on track.
I am also going to coornate with the Stampede.
My email for this wild attack on PA.2011 is sharpe53@hotmail.com
Any one with ideason travel food, hotels, and meeting areas along the way write the bridgade or in this post or PM me. I will start a new post called Southern Invasion 2011 Updates.
Hi Y'all ....where could a lone Canadian meet up with you southern folk heading north to Carlisle? ....I've got the only Pinto up here and it would be an honour to join your "Conferderacy".
email- <rzm27@shaw.ca>
Where are you located in Canada in relation to the state of Minnesota?
Carolina boy, Tell me where you need me to meet ya at and I will be there. Coming from Greenville South Carolina.

It is looking most likely will be Charlotte, Welcome aboard!!
Carolina Boy, Just had this Crazy thought pop into my head(yea I know,We in trouble now), Now This is just a suggestion, I wonder if there is a Ford Dealership that would let us get together at or in charlotte or some where else kinda close by? Would be Great publicty for all of us? Maybe even let the local newspaper know about the trip? I am just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Sorry
Dream beam,
You could try, but most Ford dealers really want to distance themselves from the Pinto. I tried three dealerships in the Denver area to start the Stampede, figuring this would be great publicity, anyone having a car sent would have it taken care of by a Ford Dealer until they arrived. It seemed so perfect, all denied allowing us to use their sites, the largest Ford dealer in the tri-state are Phil Long Ford, the manager told me and I quote. "Never call back!" A real rude awakening, maybe the southern hospitality would be better, I wish you luck. my documentary may start outside of Phil Long Ford. I guess I cannot blame them for wanting to keep the ghosts locked up in the closet, but they don't understand that 10-20 pintos in their lot would mean a full lot of people. And the last time i checked, a lot full of people was gold for a car salesman. :welcome:

I never thought of it that way, But you are right.
DreamBean,
Don't let up though, give them a call and ask to speak to the manager, you may get a better response. Don't let my experiences dictate what may happen. What i was trying to say was, don't be surprised if you don't get the response you wanted. i ams ure when they started this site, they had alot of doors slammed on them, now they have a Ford endorsement and sponsers. A job well done by a dedicated team.
Rearended, Have you set the route yall are taking? The Southern flank will be joining up in Charlotte, NC most likely. Then we will head up I-81 to the show.
I have been away to long and need to set up again and get this Southern Brigade down on paper and firm.
CB
We are taking I-70 staright across, if you really want to meet up, I suggest you head up I-77 straight up to Cambridge Ohio. We plan on stopping here for the night before the last days drive. This would probably be the easiest way to link up since we will be stopping here, neither side will have to pull off to await the other. In the morning we could all head out together and we will also be stopping to pay respects at the flight 93 memorial on the way in. Here is a link to our Route page http://www.pintostampede.com/The%20Route.htm (http://www.pintostampede.com/The%20Route.htm) yo can also find out more information at http://www.pintostampede.com (http://www.pintostampede.com)
