Hey Brian, I have Print Shop and know how to use it, I'll help with the sign ;D
I'll email you some of the other ideas I had and mentioned in the email later today. Since the show is during the Labor Day weekend, same as the start to The Pinto Stampede this might be a great way for the Northwestern Pinto owners to gather for your show, the 4th Annual, and celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford Pinto with the Pinto Stampeders. I know some Wisconsin Pinto owners are gathering for a Parade on Labor Day, I hope to join them, to kick off the Pinto Stampede for owners in that area. Why not have the Northwestern Pinto owners gather, Celebrate the 40th with the Stampeders in spirit since we know that's a long drive for anybody in your area to participate. You have had a great turnout in the last few years, let's make this one great! and celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford Pinto no matter where the Ponys are!
Gather The Pinto's and Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Ford Pinto in 2011 is my motto this year!
I'll be there! Missed last years, if there was one. Wife won't go on the Stampede without air in one of them. I think we can bring both to Auburn.

It's A Start!
accusaly this is year five but the first one was at a different location and different day but morphed into this meet and it has been going every year since and occasionally there is one in portland Or but its to much to try to make 2 successful meets happen and i have to much other things going on to keep both going and start a boise show that i was planning to do this year so this is the one meet and hopefully will continue to grow and other can make it from father away and if any one wants to come up Friday i have 20 acers to camp on and parking for trucks and trailers if need be
do you want me to change it to 5th Annual? or leave at 4th since the location has changed?
for things like this if you have had 5 shows I see no reason not to to change it to 5th, it's more about the show vs. location in my eyes.
also when to when for the time of the show?
i good with keeping with the 4th
here's a more finished version ready for approval and changes ;D
any one have any input or constructive comments be for it hits the printer?
other than cookieboystoys going the extra mile again!
here's the final copy for the show, I can easily make changes as needed for some local sponsors.
I emailed you the large version for the printer :)
~~edit: corrected to add date for show

It's a good thing you noticed that because apparently no one else did! :lol:
Dwayne :smile:
it's funny because I kept asking for a time for the show, kept asking for the time, I was so focused on the time... Opps!
Just sent the fixed version :)
All's well that ends well! I think the poster looks great! Wish I could come!
Dwayne :smile:
to the show in Washington?

Yeah, but since I'm in Virginia, it's highly unlikely!!!
I met Brian at Knott's in 2009, didn't get to talk nearly long enough and I wish I could go to this one too.
10-15 friends of the Pinto, what more could you ask for.
Just found another Pinto lover (owns 5) close by and am convincing him to come. Please put the announcement on craigslist everywhere. That's how found out about the first one that I went to. If I can convince my wife, we'll bring two.
I "fixed" the final flyer I posted above with the date added in case you want to use that for posting on craigslist.
scaff ford of auburn will have a 2011 fiesta and if i find a flat bed tow truck to do it cheap a 1923 model t

I see it every time it's on the Portland craigslist.
I plan on being there. Anyone else from the Portland area?
Mike
maybe tigger and im fairly sure my dad av8pintonut not allot of people have replyed to ones ive sent out (i sent one to everybody within ~600 mile's from the members map) and only one reply to craigslist but u never know
how many have handed out in pdx?
I am deeply thinking about bringing my 77 cruising wagon from Kelowna BC down for the show. I am in need of some parts, it would be cool to find them while I am there. Rally rim center caps? Dog Dish Hub Caps? Cruising Wagon console were the heater controls are attached? Orange Hood (wishful thinking)? Black seat belts? Passenger side kick panel?

well thats was because the car came straight from the body shop to the show then it went home and got parked and hasn't been touched since but i got it fired up yesterday still has a broken flex plate but am going to drive it any way both cars im taking will hafta be hot wired as both have bad ignitions switches i ordered them a week+ ago but neither made it and its to late now so a lil hot wire will take care of that prob

Oh, no worries. My pinto is mine and I love it but it certainly isn't the best. I LOVE that red wagon. Such a beautiful car! That was my choice. And seriously, you can have more fun in a wagon. The sedans are just so small ;) And I'm never worried about being the best, just being part of the team. What a great time surrounded by lovely pintos and bobcats and cool folks.
yah it was a toss up between the red wagon and tiffs car th thing that got me about the c/w was the A/C and cruise control but i would rather own tiffs car if i was looking to buy
Wow I had a great trip 8) no problems traveling either way, :laugh: When I came over the pass it was backed up going east and when I came home today the pass was backed up going west .
Thks Tiff in meeting you and taking photos, I love your car I see it is all set up the way you like it, love ur pillows. It's great to see all the Pintos still alive and Kicking
Well hope to see you all later you never know :P
What a great day, good to see so many Pintos in ! place. Great to see old friends and meet some new ones
Canboost, I have a console or two. Red and tan.
