Hello everyone, got my application in the mail for the Knott's Berry Farm show (April 10, 2011), and I just mailed it in. SO all we need is at least 39 more pintos there. Having 40 Pintos at Knott's for Pintos 40th anniversary would be realy cool. For everyone that cannot make it to Carlise this would be a great alternative. If you need an application their web site is www.fabulousfordsforever.org See you all there
I got mine today too. I would REALLY like to have Green Meanie the '73 turfmobile go to the show this year, but the dumb throw-out bearing is gonna be the wrench in the works. We'll see... meanwhile, the flyer acknowledged the Pinto's 40th anniversary. Heck, Ruby will be 40 herself in May, so I'll probably take her even if the green wagon is a-ok. ;D
I might not be able to go this year! :'( I forgot all about it being the 40th anniversary, and I scheduled a vacation at the end of April instead. We are going to Las Vegas for a Mini horse show.
I am trying to talk hubby into doing both, but so far not so good. It is so hard to talk him into taking time off from his work.
I will update if things change and we end up getting to go!
Kimmy, it'll be a bummer if you can't do both. I know it's a long drive south, but for me the show won't be the same without you. Don't make me bribe you. ;)
This year my plate is full. I might go without my cars though, only time will tell if the finance Gods work it out. Got the Stampede to do. I do want to drive out in the next few years tough to do Knotts. Maybe we can do the 50th there? And maybe another Stampede? (What am I saying :hypno: )
I might get to go!!!!(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/myhrdly/lala.gif)
I was emailing Fred today and I told him about me going to the horse show at the end of April. He asked if that meant I wasn't going to Knotts. Well, I told hubby about our emails and about how it would be great if we could just jump in the Pinto an go, it would make it much easier to do. Wouldn't have to borrow a truck and all. Hubby then said that the truck wouldn't be a problem at all. Needless to say it basically comes down to the retired driver that covers for Bob from time to time. If he will cover for Bob that weekend and the weekend of the horse show, we will make Knotts!!! ;D Or, if they luck out and higher another driver between now and then. There would be no problem at all then. They have a flyer out saying they are highering, but so far no luck. :(
I will update as soon as I know what is going on. I need to write down the dates so hubby can ask the retired guy if he will cover!
OMG!!! I hope it'll work out!!! YAY!!!
So which Pinto is coming... Brown Ghost"? Let me know when you tire of her... ;)

Of Course the Ghost will be the chosen one! LOL I hate to say it, even though I love Bella, the sedans are my most favorite. ;D
I was hoping to one day meet the Green Machine, or that sweet '72 Squire, or even Blue Max!

Green machine doesn't run to great and Blue Max is still in between motors! LOL Bob is notorisious for half finished projects. LOL No excuse on the 72 Squire, except that I can only take one, and it has to be a sedan! LOL It's all because when I think of a Pinto, I go back to my childhood and my parents Pinto, which was a sedan! ;D
