Title: Racing the Pinto
Post by: pintogirl on March 08, 2010, 09:39:26 PM
Well, I hope this works! LOL I have tried to upload this video to all sorts of things, Photobucket, Youtube, MobileMe, etc, etc, but can't seem to get any to take! Photobucket just gives me an error message, but doesn't say what the error is. When I finally tried youtube, it said it was unavailable. I tried it last because I'm affraid they will cut it shortly after I upload it do to the music! They are too picky! LOL The only way I got it to upload is onto Facebook. So hopefully you all can see it from the link!

I had alot of fun and it was nice that Joe made it with his Orange 74!! The weather turned out to be perfect!!!

I will probably work on another picture video eventually, but for now if you want to see the pics, go to my photobucket, here......  http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/Concores%20D%20Lemons/ (http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/Concores%20D%20Lemons/)

Here are a few teasers!! LOL

We looked like a pack of sardines, but it was a good time. We were supposed to be in the grassy area, but do to the dampness, they decided we should stay on solid ground! LOL

If you all want to see some pretty funny racing, you need to make it to one of these races!! It was hillarious!!!  :lol: :lol:

EDIT TO Add You tube~ Don't know how long it will last or how long the music will last on it, but here it is!

Kimmy, that video was awesome! But WHY did you let Joe win!? lol.

Joe's '74 Runabout looks JUST like Wildfire... it must be the way the light is on it... it looks more coppery than orange.  ;D Anyway that looks like fun, "racing"!

Kim ,
Your Miata would have been a bit faster and definitely easier to drive, But nothing beats a Race prepared Pinto for absolute Drama and spine tingling chills, even a Prius on the freeway :amazed:
Let's get you a drive in a Pinto on race slicks, and you'll say "why did I brake so soon? I shoulda just turned the wheel!"
BTW , Runabouts aren't slower, just a bit harder to turn into a racecar.. LOL Wagons are the hot setup for cornering :o

"I have come to realize that I am powerless to cuteness of a rusty old Pinto."

Yes, a different kind of "Precious Metals."

I see in the second photo (three cars to the left of your white Pinto) a white Sunbeam.  Were you able to tell if it was an Alpine or a Tiger (I have one of these).

Also, in the U-Tube video, the white station wagon in front of Joe's Pinto, was that a Corvair station wagon??? I have one of those too.

And, yes, a Pinto, I have one of those too.  ;D
