WEATHER REPORT
As of Thursday 4/19/07. Sunday 4/22/07 High will be 64 low will be 53. Day time will be mostly cloudy. They do expect RAIN this Friday ( tomorrow ) so cover your cars.

I am more worried about covering the intake.  I still have a hole in the hood with an edelbrock air filter.  I am going to try to finish the hood so it will stay dry

My apologies to all but I will not be able to go as planned. I heard an unusual sound coming from the engine last night while taking her on a short drive around town and it is too late to diagnose.  Good luck and I hope the weather holds.  I will try again next year.   don

All I can say is WOW! I've never seen so many Pintos in one year let alone in the same place at the same time. I didn't show up with my car but after that turn out, I'm sure I'll be there next year. I noticed no 2.3 EFI turbos (unless under a closed hood???) & I would have been unique, which is why I chose this build, & kicked myself in the butt a few times but there's always next year.

Oh ya, we spotted Pintony 4 cars away and never met the guy before, all the Pinto gear was a dead give a way. Thanks for the great conversation.

Someone hurry with the pics!

I want to thank everyone who attended for having such a successful showing of automotive history.  I took about 70 pics and had a real good time looking and reliving the past.  Thank you Brad for taking some time to talk to me.  I would have liked to stay longer but needed to pay the bills.  I would like to pick the brains of ALL you guys about your cars.  There were 29 (or 30) examples of genuine love for your automobiles and ALL of them are cool.  Steve & Jennifer (name?)(from Yucaipa), thanks for sitting with me for coffee!!!

WOW, what can I say about this years Knott's Berry Farm meet & first PCCA 'blessed' one... ALL HAIL BRAD! I don't know if everyone knew or not but Brad was working his tail off all day and was toasted at the end... He really did all of us proud to the enth degree,  Toast, 'Clink'...

Also wanted to wave a big thanks flag out to Frank Canon of Pinto Works, (PCCA Shirts), Frank provided the shirts for the event at no initial cost to the group. Did you guys see the shirts? Aren't they great?

I have never seen this many pintos in all my life, and been so impressed with the quality of people attending not to mention the exceptional cars.... What a pleasure! My wife was even very pleasantly surprised that yes indeed there are others out there and that everyone was so nice. She even pledged to help me finish the garage and work on the Pintos so we can bring one next time, DING... Serious Wife points!!! ...

As most of you saw, she took pictures of the prizes/winners (she was really getting into the spirit!)... Will be posting them soon.. (will need help from Brad on the what won..etc.. did not write that down...

Here are some shots my brother took of the meet, please disregard the family shots and concentrate on the Pintos...

Someone PLEASE let me know who the 'Napper' is .... I LOVE this Shot!!!  HA!

IMPORTANT: If you were there, do a quick PM direct to me so I can give you a Merit Badge on your profile on the site... don't want to miss anyone!!

More later....
