Hey all you Ohio Pinto owners out there.. I'm noticing there are alot of us out there, so I thought we could meet each other in a small meet. Would give us a chance to get to know each other & show off our rides to each other without having to leave the state. If anyone else thinks this is a good idea then shout out..
We could meet & hang out without having to worry about hotel costs & the like.. Shout out if you agree.
Sounds Great, But when?Where? ???
Sounds great to me also.Just a suggestion why not have it at the all ford show in columbus in September.Its a three day weekend for most of us.Plus it,s in the center of the state.
That sounds like a winner to me... Isn't that the all Ford show that my engine was for sale at? You're right though... Central Ohio is a good location for all of us, especially since it is in the middle of the state. I know Quickrick would be all for it, as he's even wondered about having a pinto meet near here.. Would be cool to meet other Pinto Ohioans & at the same time look at some cool Fords (other than the Pintos) at the show.
Ford made other cars?????
I know... It was news to me too when I went to a Ford Owners cruise in last year.. ;D That was where I met Harley & saw his Pinto, as well as the red 77 panel wagon that was at the Pinto meet this year.
YES Tony... they made Econoline Vans! Pintos & Econolines... did they make anything else? I heard rumors once of this car named after a different horse.... ummmmm was it Stallion.... no that was a Pinto Package in '76... Mustang... yeah that's it!! It was even Pinto based!
That sounds Great! I went up there this year and there was only ONE Pinto, at a Ford Display booth with a new Mustang and a Five Hundered. What other cars did Ford Make? Mustang....based on a Pinto.....Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah, the Mustang was built on this one car called a Falcon. It had it's chassis. It also had a 289. Wasn't there a car called a Thunderbird that had one of those? ;) :D
If you don't want to meet at the all ford show laber day weekend,how about still meeting in columbus at Quaker steak and lube at the polaris parkway on the north side of columbus ,still on that weekend ,say on that saterday about noon.We can then bullsh*t and eat.I know r4pinto knows were that is.This way we don't have to worry about hotel or motel rooms.
Nah... I don't know where that is... I mean I only worked at the Polaris Discount Tire Company for 3 months & ate there with the guys after work...lol
Good food & beer... what a better way to get to know each other.
I think we could also go to magic mountain over there for lazer tag or even the go karts.. we'd have to either not drink or go beofre eating though, as there's no driving the go karts after drinking.. either way it's cheap & alot of fun.
Hay Matt seeing that it is your idea,how about setting things up with Quaker steak and every thing else well play by ear.
I think you should all get on the highway on the 18th & 19th of this month and Invade St. Thomas Ontario, Canada and come to the Autofest!
ok all, are we set on the weekend of the september auto show? If steak & shake sounds like a good idea, then I gotta know how many people so when I make the reservation I can tell them.
Also, if anyone else has an idea of where they'd want to meet just give a shout out.
Hay 78pinto would gladly come up for the show but out of money and vacation time.
Matt count me in,plus 68cyclone and grampa.We will be there.So thats at least 4 of us.
ok,
so right now it stands at
pintoman
68cyclone & grampa
& possibly quickrick.. he might be able to make it, might not... we'll see
anymore? I will be keeping track so when I make reservations at steak & shake I'll have an accurate number.. That'll be a while so anyone that wants to came, can just post here.
Also any other ideas for where to go or a second opinion is welcome to chime in.
I 'm putting an invite to all the Pinto lovers in the states around 0hio to come an join us for the Ohio get-together.Pinto's rule!
C'mon Pinto Ohioans, come join the fun when it happens. I've been gone for a while & thought I'd see if anyone else is joining the fun. I just need to know how many will be there & any alternative ideas on what to do.
i'd like too, but I'm always busy and I don't have insurance on BlueGoldPinto yet... :-\ :'(
Hey Matt nice to hear from you again.Besides myself i know of at least 5 other Pinto owners from the central Ohio area that will be there.All we need is a location and time so we can meet up.Hey Blue gold you don't need your pony just come on down and enjoy.
yeah Harley, I sorta fell off the face of the earth for a while.. I was having to fix my Corolla after I hit a big curb & bent the hell outta the front suspension.... I did get the pinto on her first extended drive in 2 years, maybe longer... I worked at a garage sale this past weekend & drove from Reynoldsburg to Columbus about 2-3 miles away from Morse road...It drove really good..
The good news on the meet... Once I get an estimate on how many people & can go from there... I figure we'd be able to meet at quaker steak & lube at polaris, but not too sure what do do after.... I'm open to ideas.
Quaker State sounds good to me.We can just sit around and bull s***.As far as doing something else we can play it by ear.
Come on all you Ohio Pinto lovers. Lets get together on labor day weekend.I know of eight Pinto lovers,including myself that will be there.I hope all of you other Ohio Pinto lovers will join us.It would be nice to have twelve or more Pintos at this get together.Bring your family and friends,it should be fun.
Hey Matt,are we still ago for the Ohio get together on labor day weekend.If we are what time do we want to meet up and were.From what i can tell there are about 28 Pinto lovers in Ohio that i know of.Besides my self i know of 6 Pinto lovers that will be there if we are still having it.
Yup, it's still goin to happen... Just needing an estimate on how many people will be there. As for time, I'd say around 5:00 sometime... If anyone else has an idea of a better time give a shout out.
At this point I just need a closer estimate of how many people will be there & what day on that weekend would be best so I can find out availability & such.
You guys need to take pictures, lost of pictures for thouse of us who can't attend,
I will probably be there, Scott, with a digital camera. At leat, I am planning on going. :)
OK all of you Ohio Pinto lovers.Here it is ,for every one who wants to bring there Pinto's out for an evening get together,we will meet Sunday Sept. 4th at Quaker Steak and Lube at the Polaris Parkway restaurant.It is on the north side of Columbus.Take 71 north till you get to Polaris Parkway and turn left,and those coming down from northern Ohio go south to Polaris.We will meet at 5 pm on Sunday.I hope we have a good turn out.It's not going to be fancy , just getting together have some food and talk Pinto's.
Well, to those that will be at the Ohio Pinto meet, I look forward to seeing you there... Harley, thanx for keeping up on it. I sorta fell off the planet for a little bit, as I had some personal issues to take care of, but they're all done, so let the fun begin!!! :) :) :)
I'll see you guys at Quaker Steak around 5:00... I'll be there with Harold II, although she ain't gonna be too pretty...lol Lots needing done to her since i haven't really touched her in about a month. :embarassed:
I'll make sure to give her a good cleaning though, so she looks better
Well, it's official. My luck with Pintos stink!!! I was about to get on the road with my Pinto to go to Steak & Shake for some Food & Pinto talk when it happened... I couldn't steer my Pinto. I got out of the car & looked under it to find the passenger side tie rod end has broken. I'm not too happy with it as now I have missed another meet, & what sux is this one was my idea, all because of a stinking part failure. I got the overfilled tranny back to normal, & the white walls back to white & the car was all in good shape to go, but apparently I just can't get this stinking monkey off my back. I have been working on trying to fix it all day, but the supid thing just won't come off the car. >:( >:( >:(
Hey Matt.Sorry about the Monkey.We had three cars and 6 body's.One of the guys broke a timing belt on his way there,so he drove his wife's car.Had a bunch of folks come over and look and talk about about the Pinto's.Had some good food and talk about our cars.Party broke up early and we all departed.To bad you couldn't make it.Hope to see you sometime in the near future.Harley[Pintoman].
Hey guys, Some one said something about this to one of my guys at the track, but i wasnt sure were to go. We got beat the second round so i maight have made it, it would have been a little late though. o well see ya next time., J.D. Laramee
