Sounds like we are in agreement here, for at least those who have replied. I really like the idea of rotating east, central and west as an annual meet. I also like the idea of us getting together as a group for the benefit of the group. I know we could spend days talking about our own projects and share a wealth of information.

I think some folks here have mentioned that they would like to meet in Las Vegas. It would be cool to do it during the SEMA show.......... ..

If I may I would vote for Tulsa in 2007 but could get to Branson, Its a good place. I really like the idea of a great gettogether in the midwest. I have been getting flashes of giving up on my wagon but this has got me thinking I might not,

I to like the idea of rotating the show across the country.But I'm not sure i can make a west coast show,but I'll try.

Bipper · « **Reply #64 on:** July 12, 2005, 06:39:32 PM »

For a western show site I would vote for Lake Tahoe in the summer. Being a little bit more north would
hopefully pull in some folks from the Northwest.

Not a Bad Idea Bob, Lake Tahoe would be nice.......... .....

Hi Folks:

How about this idea?

2006 - Carlisle, PA - East U.S.
2007 - Branson, MO - Middle U.S.
2008 - California??? - West U.S.

The idea being that we rotate the meeting place for a region (east,middle,west) every third year so members
would have a higher probability of attending one of the gatherings.

That sounds great, I've got a sister that lives near springfield and I'm even thinking about making the trip from Cali.

Rotating the show sounds like a KILLER idea. I may not make the central & western meets as my Lil' Horse doesn't really like the freeway. I will, however do my level BEST to attend the eastern events.

I once drove my '80 runabout to Mich from Tenn, My wife was 6-7 mo pregnant & that was an ADVENTURE! The valve cover leaked pretty bad & I'd almost literally fill up the oil & top up the gas. My '74 isn't quite as bad, but it DOES leak a little around the valve cover. (add to that a hairline crack at the trans line in the case) I wouldn't be afraid to take it cross country, but I'd need a few days to get anywhere. I know it'd make it in one piece though.

OK then, the Pinto community has spoken...

Cool!

I for one will be scouring the swap meet area of the Ford Show for NOS Pinto parts, CAN'T WAIT!

Harley, let me know closer to the time how much for our own area & I wil get to work on the FordPinto.com/ PCCA banner... & let me know what else our site can do to help,

Tercin · « **Reply #69 on:** July 14, 2005, 09:17:00 PM »

Something that I thought about today was having some sort of a printable flyer describing the site. We could print out a few whenever we are going to a car show, or some other automotive function. This flyer could have the logo and web address. Just a thought.

Boss2300 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 15, 2005, 02:02:02 AM »

Hey Scott, I may be wrong but I think someone told me that Carlisle supplies a canopy for clubs that go there & maybe a banner also. You may want to check that out with them.

pintoman · « **Reply #71 on:** July 15, 2005, 04:49:59 PM »

Yes they do supply a tent,but the first year it will cost a member of this club $150 to rent the tent.If the club has more than 25 cars at the event that member get,s there money back.Then it,s free after that at there following shows.Hey Scott I'll need all the help i can get.Kooter and his friends in Carlisle said that they would help.I won't know anything about Carlisle until there season is over with.As soon as i know something I'll let every one know.

Scott Hamilton · « **Reply #72 on:** July 15, 2005, 06:14:12 PM »

It seems only fair that FordPinto.com pick up the tab for this tent,

Donation link will be put up closer to the tiime frame needed.

Harley, pintoman, will be our poobah with this project,

25 Cars, .... THAT would be cool...

Boss2300 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 16, 2005, 12:59:02 AM »

Pintoman do you know who I am ? I'am the guy you meet at Carlisle with the silver Cruiser.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #74 on:** July 16, 2005, 09:49:38 AM »

Well the trip to Carlisle is sounding better each time I read this post. What is it, 3500 miles or so from Olympia, WA? That's not too bad. I know the pinto would hold up, just wish it had air conditioning. She really likes freeway cruising best. I have never been past Oklahoma and would like to see other states in the US before I kick the bucket. Just curious if any other Westerners are thinking they might make the trip and we could do it together. I would really like to attend each yearly pinto gathering.

So for Carlisle...do we have an estimated date/month yet? I too would rather "pitch a tent" (sorry fella's, girls love pintos too!) next to my pinto at the show instead of renting a motel.

And a comment on the Branson idea, maybe have it in early/late Spring as to avoid the other big car show that takes place in Branson in June?

Tercin · « **Reply #75 on:** July 16, 2005, 10:41:49 AM »

It is probably a little less than 3500 miles. However you would be pretty close. There is a lot of open space between you and Carlisle as well as some toll roads. Don't forget the humidity. You will get pretty hot in a tent in the summer, since you are from Washington state where it is usually cool, you may want to rethink the tent part. Driving your Pinto would be neat but you would need to allow extra time when you stop to eat or gas up because everyone will want to talk to you. The further east you go people will be asking about the Washington plates and the long drive in an old car. It would be fun and interesting at the same time.

pintoman · « **Reply #76 on:** July 16, 2005, 03:23:24 PM »

Hey Boss2300 i remember you .You sold some head light buckets to my buddy Wayne at Carlisle.That is a real nice wagon that you have,i know that everyone that shows up for next year will like it.I hope we have a real big turnout for next year.

pintoman · « **Reply #77 on:** July 16, 2005, 03:31:24 PM »

This is for you SAGESUNRISE.Th e Carlisle show is the first weekend in June of each year.I don't believe that you can pitch a tent by your Pinto,but i do believe that there is camping up on the hill.The show grounds is one of the best that i have seen.There are showers there,the rest rooms are very clean.Plus the food there is excellent.You can eat breakfast,lunch and dinner at the grounds.For me i will be in a motel room for the event.And like Scott I'll be at the swap area most of the time.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #79 on:** July 17, 2005, 12:10:08 AM »

Boy, I don't know then....I can't leave my Martha Splatterhead alone at night. I have to sleep with her. So you don't have to leave your car on the showgrounds the entire time, right?

Yea, I'll bet it is humid and having a wool blanket forever on my head (I have EXTREMELY long hair) won't help any. But I could tough it out for a few nights even if I have to wear an ice cold one under each armpit and one on the back of my neck!

So can you elaborate on the toll roads? Are there a lot? How much is the toll? I'll bet there will be a lot of surprises that I am not used to. I live deep in the woods in hicksville!

Pintony · « **Reply #80 on:** July 17, 2005, 01:08:23 AM »

Hello sagesunrise,
The toll on Turnpike 70-76 from just after Weeling W.V. is $8.50. 76 ends at Carlisle.
I'm thinking we should find a house to rent for the week!!!??? Time-share type deal???
Just went searching for hotels the closest hotel that has rooms NOW is Harrisburg west.
The rooms are 42.00 pr night. I was searching on Hotwire.com
No rooms available the first W/E in june in Carlisle Pa.

Does the car show run for one full week? Sun-Sat, Mon-Fri? I was thinking of taking 2 weeks off, but if the show is one full week, I might need 3 (I want to give myself one full week of drive time in case something goes wrong and because I want to do a little sight-seeing). I think a home to rent is a good idea. I'd kick down $100 for a week even if I have to sleep outside or in a barn. Would be way cool if someone in the area had a farm and we all could kick it for the week at their place.

Pintony · « **Reply #82 on:** July 17, 2005, 10:29:52 AM »

The show is Fri, Sat , and Sunday.
But I think most are rented by the week.

I liked the Pigeon Forge thing because we were not just the Pinto's at the show.....We were the show. I liked the Pigeon Forge location because it was quaint. Are we really established as a bonified organization untill we can count on 100 Pintos being there....or even 50. How can we escape the conventionalli ty of just being another group of car enthusiasts?
I suggest an invasion....we could pick a different city each year and cruise the streets and park in different areas and meet to party and talk. It might spark anticipation and noteriety.
Also, I suggest that the best way to nuture this band of specialist would be a centralized meeting place which could be calculated mathmatically and then go with the closest commonly know city from that point.Ã‚Â
Personally, I am going to make every effort to be at the second Pinto meet where-ever it is at. ThunderPinto is being built for crosscountry.
Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â OK!!.........That is what I think......... High_Horse Wichita,Kansas-which is about as middle as you can get.

"I suggest an invasion....we could pick a different city each year and cruise the streets and park in different areas and meet to party and talk. It might spark anticipation and noteriety. "

High Horse, that is why I am seriously going to try to be there next year. I want to make a statement all the way across the US! I hope others will join me so we can all travel together. I love cruising in my pinter, and boy, if I was a dude, I'd have lots of chicks! The pinter really is a chick magnet!! I get more chicks commenting on my pinto than fellers, although lots of fellers like to talk pinto with me as well.

I really would like to make the trip with other members, so if anyone is even thinking about it, please get ahold of me. My email is sagesun@hctc.com. I will most likely go through ID, MT, WY and South of the Dakotas and then straight East to PA. The earlier we plan, the funner the trip will be.

Sounds good to me too, doubt i can make the 06 show but, i might ill just have to try. Can definantly make the 07 show and probably the 08 too.

propinto1 · « **Reply #86 on:** July 26, 2005, 01:54:59 PM »

pigion forge is the best, the goodguys and the f 100 shows do well there. Its a great place for kids and the hotels dont try to rape ya for rooms. So I guess ill wait and come to one when its down south, heres a thought why not do like many of the other minority clubs do go to Food Lion Auto fair in Charlotte NC. Both the fiero and corvair clubs meet there each year. Its fun they have many cruise events each night with over 2000 cars and 300,000 in attendance i would say its a great show.

pintoman · « **Reply #87 on:** July 26, 2005, 05:30:45 PM »

Yes P/F is a great place to have a car show.I really enjoyed this year's show in P/F.I just wish we had a better turn out.Twelve cars for the first year wasn't bad for the first show.We decided at that show to go to Carlisle for next year.Per-hap's we might end up back in P/F for a future show,but for now we will move it around the country and hope every one can attend one of the these shows.Myself I'm am planning on going to every show we have.I think different locations is a great idea.

sagesunrise · « **Reply #88 on:** July 31, 2005, 02:30:31 AM »

I am starting my plans on attending the Carlisle show in June 2006. I am really hoping that others might want to join the trek across country. We will be doing some sight seeing along the way and will most likely leave 2 weeks before the show starts.

We are planning on crossing the Northern tip of Idaho and crossing into Montana, headed Southerly. Crossing Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio and into PA.

If anyone wants to meet or come along, please let me know. We have plenty of time to find a meeting spot.

pintoman · « **Reply #89 on:** July 31, 2005, 08:57:51 AM »

Hey Sagesunrise I'm glad to see that you are coming to Carlisle next year.I hope a bunch more Pinto owners will join you on your trek.When you come through Ohio maybe i can meet up with you then we can head for Carlisle.I hope there will be 6 or 7 Pinto owners out of Columbus heading that way.We usually leave on Thursday morning.I belong to a local Ford club here in Columbus and we have about 8 members with Pinto's.So now we have a club within a club.See you next year.
