Thought breakfast was at 7 with the drive on at 8:30. 
Where is Carrows and are you leaving at 8:00? If I don't get there for breakfast I'll see everybody at the show.
Can we say the pinto is there in spirit?
I don't feel comfortable driving it not knowing what the water temp or oil pressure is. I don't trust the idiot lights. I want to get some local miles on it before any big trips. I'm coming from San Diego.

Tomklu, where in San Diego are you from? I grew up in the Clairemont/Kearny Mesa area. I'm now in Oceanside.

Sounds like he needs to caravan with you.  If issues arise, I could help with my trailer after the show.  It would take about 10 minutes to hook it up and get it moving.  Not much of an issue since I already use it for my pinto when it is in storage.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAR RRRRGH! DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!  I've been caught up in other projects and *completely* forgot that this show was in April.  I missed registration and everything else.  Well, maybe I can bring my little V8 to the after show gathering if there is one.

Is there any Pinto Peeps living in the vicinity of the show? I was hoping for a crash pad so I could volunteer for the bag-stuffing and not have to make two trips to Buena Park this weekend. I'll buy a couple pizzas or KFC or...???  I'm not beringing the dog this time.  ;D

There's also a cruise night at the Signal Hill Bob's Big Boy on Saturday ( 1898 Willow Street 4-7 pm) for those who don't want to be up quite that early.  ;-)

Have to check it out sometime, just not this weekend.  Wife's birthday party at our house that I am hosting.  Be bad form to not be there.

True enough!  Well, it goes every Saturday at the same time.  Let me know if you ever want to go...after all, how much fun would it be for there to be a cruise night where Camaros get outnumbered by Pintos?

Well another nice spring day- perfect for looking at cars and hanging out with the Pinto Peeps!

The weather was about as perfect as it could be. Warm, but not hot... and just enough of a breeze to keep it comfortable.  I enjoyed the company of the Pinto community as well as people who were interested in Ruby's tiny engine, our upcoming trip to Pennsylvania, and even Ford Folks with non-Pintos, like the lady who had the Ford of Australia Falcons (both pick-up style and Mad Max-type) and a nice guy  with his Hawaiian Mustang II. Most of all I loved the fellowship with Leonard, who taught me how to appreciate a roast beef and swiss cheese sandwich.  Fred and Joy kept me laughing with their stories of being caught stealing a Pinto Street sign.  Emily and I shared info on Pinto memorabilia (Dwayne, she LOVED that mini billboard! lol)  Also, a huge thank you to Vonkysmeed for the cd of Pinto songs. You are awesome!!! Your little boy is so cute!

I want to apologize for not making it to the after-show dinner. I got hopelessly lost, and I had no one's phone number or directions to the restaurant. The running around gave me a headache, so I ended up heading back to the ranch.  :(

All in all, a swell time was (I believe) had by all. Pictures to come soon.  ;D

So you took the mini-billboard to Knotts with you?  I suppose it would make for something interesting to display with Ruby.  Are you bringing it to Carlisle?

I don't really know for sure, but I can't imagine anyone stopping you.  It will be interesting to see the billboard... I only saw it in pictures, as I had it shipped directly to you from the seller.
