Hi guys & girls......
First of all, I'm here, still above the ground (ha ha)
Doing very good, but still on the mend. Some diffaculty walking, but I'm very happy with my recovery to this point.
Now on to the reason for this posting.
"The Annual Ohio Get Together"
This would be our 3rd.
I haven't done anything with it, but there's no problem with the location, and I'll put everything into action if there's any interest
So please contact me at jimsfinefords@yahoo.com. Or post a reply here.
Also 440 591 8381
Thanks, Jim O'Reilly at jimspinto
keep me informed and i will be at "3" phil
I couldn't get to 1 or 2... Here's hoping the 3rd time's a charm
im in!!
bob
When and where? Might be able to make it.
Russ
Jim I will try and get up there this year.Hope to bring some friends.
Ok, Guys & Gals
That what I wanted to hear, so as to a location........
I don't see anything wrong with what we had last year. If anybody thinks different, say something and I will scout up so
something else. Otherwise there the location
For anyone that wasn't there last year, cant remember (none of us are that young hee hee) and / or wants to come this year. its at the intersection(s) of Ohio Rts. 87 & 44. Newbury Ohio 44065
As to a time & date, Again lets leave this up to the group.
I've talked to the fast food place owner. He says.......
"Get back to me ASAP, as far as I'm conserned, its early enough that the summer is open. Pick a date and let me know"
So there you go, I'd like to see sometime late in the summer, in order to guarentee (ha ha) good weather.
Lets hear some suggestions, what dates do any of you have open and / or want ?
Jim O'Reilly at jimspinto Phone 440 591 8381
i dont think i have any weddings this year...so no excuses from me. i feel saturday or sunday would be ideal. a little cruise could be fun too. maybe if we were to do this on a saturday afternoon, then take our cars to annother location later in the evening. maybe annabells in mentor, blvd of 500 flags in eastlake (i think theyre running it again this year). i dunno, just throwing it out there.
jim, i have yet to get out your way. i still havent seen my buddies judge. although, i have your number, so when i get out there ill give you a call.
bob
To be honest Jim,
I only care about 1 thing, and 1 thing only. That is the car actually making the drive without breaking down. The rest is trivial to me. I just want some redemption from the 2006 failure.
as of right now I am open to any weekend date. Maybe I can get the gas line replaced before this summer. Need to get some tools and line and bend them up. The rubber hose I am using isn't the best.
Otherwise my car is a "no smoking" car. :-)
Russ
july is proly the hardest for me as i have 2 local shows i go to each year. when i get definate dates i will post.

Good to hear from you. As to getting out here, your almost as bad as me (hee hee)
And as to a cruise, like to Annabells, I love the idea.
lets see what everyone else wants, and hope such a thing can be done.
Thanks Jim O'Reilly

Hi Jim
It sounds like you are on the mend-- that makes me very happy!! If nothing happens,
You know what I mean, I would be proud to attend the 3rd of your "Get-to-gethers".
I hope all goes well this year and You & I don't have any more setbacks.
Keep us posted on the date its going to happen. See ya' this year; I hope!!
Yer ol' Redneck buddy--------Dick
Reply to Bob & Dick
I wasn't going to post here, use up space, make this post longer.
Then second guessed it ! You should never second guess your self hee hee
Your both great guys, and its a pleasure to call you friends
In answer to Dick.....
Yes I'm still on the mend, I feel I'm at about 75 %
I don't know where this is going.
Three major problems at the same time, the body just doesn't want to deal with it. I'm sure you know what I'm saying.
But I'm pushing for recovery, and deffenetly pushing the envelope. I feel no pain, no gain.
In answer to Bob......
All of the above applys.
Thank you so verry much for the offer.
At the moment I'm just trying to keep in touch, and waiting for replys and advise from fellow members before I set a date or anything else.
Not much work there, but I will keep your offer in mind and call you should I need.
Thanks again, the both of you. He** of the Fordpinto bunch.
Jim O'Reilly AKA jimspinto
JUST "POPED" IN TO SAY "HELLO"
THAT BEING DONE, I'LL "POP" OUT AGAIN.........
STILL LOOKING FOR SOME INPUT ON THE GET TOGETHER.
COME ON GUYS, WHAT DATES WOULD BE THE BEST ?

BEST TO ALL..... JIM O'REILLY HERE AT "JIMSPINTO"

*******************
Thanks for the reply !
Hope you got the something started, and there will be other replies (quickly)
I'd guess you were talking about August.
I could answer my own question by getting up and looking at the calender, what an a** I am hee hee !
OK, I've looked....... those dates are in Auguist, and they look good to me. Anyone else agree ?
I kind of like the 14th with the 28th for a rain date !
Awaiting your reply......
Jim O'Reilly
14th with a back up of the 28th sounds good to me
bob
14 with 28 is ok for me as well
Sounds good to me also/too.

Yea Dick,
It looks like that will be the date(s)
I'm waiting for appproval from "Pinto" guy and gals.
As for you though, should you find a reason not to
hay jim ,
having looked at your other post , the Ohio Meet is fine eventhough we show up from other states it is still in ohio.
Well, assuming I don't have to work either of those Saturdays, that works for me.
Russ
Hey Jim---Did you have brain fade or what????
In your last post you said, "As for you though, should you find
a reason not to-------------------not to what??
Maybe those 'happy' pills kicked in, & you took a nap! Don't leave me hanging, let me know what not to do.
Now I don't care who ya' are--that there is funny!
Wishing you all the best Dick
Ok, here we go.
Just about everything in one post ! I hope, but it's gona be long !
Russ--- For Gods Sake, take a day off ! You'll have fun. See below !
Phil --- Got Ya ! Thanks.
Nice additude, Ohio it will be !
Dick --- It might have been brain freeze, except I'd question me and the BRAIN THING. I don't know, see you there and we can "Discust it"
To Everyone
I set the dates, locked them in as
August 14th, 2010 Back-up of August 28th, 2010
Starting time........get there whenever you can. I will be there at 10 am. We could have our little gathering and hello's maybe eat some of his "old time greasy food"
Enjoy the day, then hit a local cruise or two.
Any input would be GREAT !
Please post any questions to this sight, or just call me if I could be of any help ! 440 591 8381
DIRRECTIONS
The place was called "Dairy King"
Not Queen, King.
He's changed the name to "Two Coneheads" As in Ice Cream Cones.
I'd think eather would work as a name, the address is..
12399 Kinsman Road, Newbury
Ohio 44065 his number is 440 564 5613.
Now some of you have been here before, but I'll refresh your memory....
Kinsman Road is Ohio Rt.87
Rt, 87 is 8 or 10 miles north of I 80
on Rt 44. Turn left, go 150 feet your there.
Again, Ohio Rt. 44 connects with all major highways, so there are exits on both Ohio Rt, 2 and I 90.
For both of them you go south on Ohio Rt 44, Give or take about 20 miles to Ohio 87, turn right for about 150 feet, bingo your there !
You couldn't get lost if you tried, but call me for anything.
Thanks, Jim O'Reilly AKA jimspinto 440 591 8381
There's no spell check, I've done the best I can...........
Well, I should be there. I haven't had to work a Saturday since I started here, but you never know. It is hard to turn down overtime if it comes up. Money is good. :-)
I am hoping that I won't be driving the Pinto though. I really hope that by then it will be in my garage getting lots of stuff done to it.

Russ
Well I hope for the "lot of stuff" to, but it'd nice to see the piinto there.... Jim
yeah, going to have to see about the money situation.
Been thinking that getting the II 8 inch rear in might be all I get to do right now. Maybe get the II aluminum rims mounted with the tires currently on the Pinto as well. I pretty much have Ferrari tastes on a moped budget. :embarassed:
Trying to find a 4wd small truck like a Ranger or S10 to make the daily driver. With a very small budget. Have to get something before winter. We might not be able to keep insurance on the Pinto when that happens. But I need something besides the Pinto for winter driving, and my wife needs her car back.
Russ
BUMP. Is that the right term ?
I just wanted to move this from page two. keep it fresh in everyones mind.
Still looking for any member that I might have missed, and any comment about anything that might be wanted or helpful.
Thanks as always Jim O'Reilly
Bump is right. :-)
Still looking at coming, but won't be in the Pinto for sure. We had to cancel the insurance on it since I bought something else for a daily driver.
Russ
Hi Everyone...... Nothing new to tell you, just wanted to keep in touch so that you all know I'm still alive {hee hee}
Everything is all set to go, just waiting for Aug. 14th.
Hope to see you there..... Jim O'Reilly AKA Jimspinto
Well, I definitely won't be driving the Pinto, unless someone has a trailer and wants to tow it up there. It is almost completely apart at this point. Naked Pinto anyone? :-)
But really looking forward to meeting everyone there.
Russ
There is NO way I can make it this year. At this point it's too late for me to get the dates off & am working Saturdays at the moment. Have fun you guys & take lots of pics.
Just over a week to go.
In case anyone has forgotten. :-)
Russ
grrr...keeping my fingers crossed. head is off the pinto now. enough late nights should have me driving the pinto on the 14th. but customers cars come first. hopefully the pinto will be there. if not, the same black 1996 pinto pick up will be there from 2 years ago =)
bob
i will be there does any one need anything?
harley i have the hatch struts if you still plan on making it
russ i have the window moldings
phil
Hello everyone I am trying my darndest to stay healthy so I can be there
& jaw with the "old" man. :lol: :lol: :lol: Sadly we don't talk about cars,
all we have anymore to discuss is our ailments & patch jobs. :mad: :mad:
Hey but lets all look foreward to having a good meeting & go show our cars
to everyone out there. Hey Phil fill that Bobcat with $100 bills & we will all have a good time!!! :evil: :evil:
Till the 14th---------Dick
Thanks Dick, you just did what I wanted done !
I jumped on here to remind everyone that the "Gathering" is this Saturday the 14th, but you've already done that.
All I have to do is plead with you and everyone else to STAY HEALTHY and GET THOSE PINTOS OUT, BE AT THE GATHERING.
Look forward to lots of Pintos, good weather and loads of fun etc.
Anyone that need any kind of help, please call me ar 449 591 8381
Best for now....... Jim O'Reilly
Sorry Jim I will be unable to attend this year.Things beyond my control.I would love to be there.I will look to next year and hopefully without any more problems I will be there.Have fun and stay dry.Phil just give the struts to Dick.I will get them from him sometime later this year.
I'll be the one wandering around without a Pinto and looking lost.
Looks like I will be driving the Taurus, the Blazer developed a flat tire this week and I don't have the motivation, time or money to deal with it right now
Russ

Sounds like a day well spent!
Dwayne :smile:
yes it was and it was fallowed by a baseball game with the family this evening. home team lost but is still great weather for a game.
oh thanks russ for the parts i will sort them out soon
phil
Not a problem. Hope most of them are worthwhile.
Thanks again for the windshield stainless.
Russ
Cant think what happened. I wasn't loged in or what ? ? ? ? ?
I typed out a note (post) but its not here, don't know where it went to ! Cyber space someplace !
Anyway, what I'd said was......
There were four cars 3 Pinto, 1 Bob-Cat and I think we all had fun. It rained (for the third year)
Nobody actually got wet, as has been the norm, all summer its rained just enough to ruin a car show, but not enough to help the ground !
Pinto Pony (Dick) took lots of photos (one with a Rambler in the back ground) and I sure he'd would share them if you asked.
As all of the guys there know, there was a mix-up at the printers (no window stickers)
So anyone who wanted a window sticker, please send your name & address to jimsfinefords@yahoo.com I'll send same, with a little something extra (from me) Actually they all come from me, don't they.
Sorry this is so late, I don't know where the heck the first post went to.....
thanks again.......... Jim O'Reilly at Jimspinto
Jim, there is a brief note about 3 Pintos 1 Bobcat and 5 members hangin' out. It's only a couple or three lines to the whole thing. ;D You have not lost your mind. ;D
Nope, Jim hasn't lost his mind... You on the other hand, Well, the jury s still out :lol: :evil:
