Everything went out Saturday morning, so they should be arriving any day now, maybe even today, depending on where you live. Let me know when you get them. Thanks!

Chris, did you get your magazine yet? look on the back cover  where you see that nifty Pinto display: The two-sided display thingies flanking the Ford Pinto "banner" (ok I confess- I don't know what these things I'm describing are! lol). The two sided thingies that have a three  (or at least two) dimensional kicking foal say "Put a little kick in your life".  Aren't those cool!? C'mon Chris- I know you weant one too!  ;D   Oooh but I do love that lil' yellow Pinto with the black vinyl-top.

Got mine today too but have only had time to leaf through it so far!  Will make time to sit down and read it cover to cover tomorrow!  At first glance, it looks like another first-rate job!  Thanks Matt!

Well, after a good night's sleep I got up early (for me - I'm NOT a morning person) and read the latest Pinto Times while I sipped my morning coffee.  Matt, you have done it again!  Excellent! 

I especially enjoyed the articles on your visit to Ford Headquarters and the Red Baron Pinto photos you discovered in the archives.  It's a shame the car was apparently never produced, but what a concept for a clone!  If I had a red '71 coupe with black interior, that would be the route I'd go (Ruby Redhot, are you listening???).  I have been to the Henry Ford Museum and can tell you from firsthand experience, it is WELL worth the visit. 

I also found the article on the Packard Museum to be interesting and entertaining.  If I ever find myself anywhere close to Dayton, it will be on my to-see list!

All of the articles were interesting and well presented, and I'm especially looking forward to seeing Norm's Boss Pinto in Carlisle next year. 

As for the article I contributed about my 1974 Runabout, it marks the first time my 17-year-old son has ever read any of my published work.  He attributes that to the fact it's only one page, not the 300+ pages of my novels.  Oh well! :rolleye: :lol:

The newest edition is fantastic, as always!  Keep up the good work. 

Dwayne :smile:

Dwayne, I read that too... that would've been SO cool to have a Red Baron edition! I love Snoopy- especially as the WWI Flying Ace.  I wonder why they shelved it...?  What I need is another red '71... so I CAN have a Red Baron. Meanwhile, I gotta keep Ruby RedHot the way she is. We'll see...

Got it today! About to sit and read, thumbed through when I got home from work. Ah yes, I see what you mean - and yes, I WANT  ;D . Thanks for pointing it out!

Dag it, this magazine gets slicker every time it comes out - a real pro publication. Matthew, you are a gem, and unmistakeable value to the Pinto world!!

Stopped by my parents today and found this wonderful issue in my stack of mail. Actually it was the ONLY thing in my stack of mail, and a great surprise! :D

Thanks all, I do appreciate it. I must give credit to the young lady who handles layout for me, she makes this thing look great every time. Her name is Robin and I think she does a bang up job.

Hey Bobcat,


Send me your name and address information again if you would please. I'm looking over the list from the printer and I don't see an Arizona address on there. If you get it to me quickly, it'll go out today. Thanks a bunch.


Matthew

Bobcat,


I sent you a PM on your issue. It's on the way.


For anyone still interested in subscribing just send $32 for four issues to:


Pinto Times
PO Box 646
Troy, OH 45373


At this point I have enough of the first two issues remaining to send a couple of complete sets out. If you subscribe now you'll get all three issues in one batch with the fourth issue yet to come.


Thanks!


FlyerPinto aka
Matthew Gunter

Words cannot express how cool it is to see my car on the cover with full page stories. Matt, Thank You! Excellent job, I really like what you did with the Stampede add, great changes, the burnt paper background, right out of a fistfull of dollars and worth every penny. :hypno: :lol: :read: :surprised: :drunk:
