I wish you were coming too. You have an uncanny resemblance to my brother.  This is a good thing BTW! lol.  Anyway, I think you should come. What's a Pinto get-together without a Pintosopher?

         The application is officially ON IT'S WAY!!!  YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

    The excitement emanating from yours truly alone would melt any heat-sensing unit the Green Govt could throw out there! Up With Old Cars! Up Yours Green Govt! WOOOHOOOO!!!!
(oh oh. They're on to me! lol. ) :cheesy_p: ::) :showback: :reek: :lol:


Mine is officially on it's way too!!!!

Yep, Pintosopher, you will be seeing a glowing light on that day!!!!!! LOL  Sure wish you could make it too though!!!!!

 Hey Joe,
 That's a really cool statement for the club on your trailer. Puts the polish on the Apple and as they say: "Presentation is everything"

Yes, it is possible to study and become a master of Pintosophy.. Not a religion , nothing less than a life quest for non conformity and rational thought. What Horse did you ride in on?

Today at the Good Guys Car show at the OC Fairgrounds, I did my part today to enlist another pinto for the Knotts.  With any luck, she will bring her 73 - 289 pinto that she bought last year on ebay.  Today, I was the lone pinto in a sea of Hot Rods.  If you are bored and have the $$ to spend, come on down to the show.  My car will be parked in Homebuilt Haven near the front entrance.  If not, see you April 19th

What's your holy grail? The runabout with the half glass lid??? If that is it, don't worry, I didn't find that!! LOL

 :lol: :lol: :lol: You kill me Kim!  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only death and severe disfigurement (or the Baby breaking down halfway there!) will keep me from getting there! I meant the growing anticipation! You better believe I better come! I want to meet you too! Plus, I have some stuff for you...

        Yes, the half-glass Runabout is one Holy Grail. What I speak of is even more rare! It combines two of my passions (and I have a few- but these are my oldest and deepest passions!) - Ford Pintos and Breyer horses (plastic model horses). In the early days Breyer produced some pinto models for Ford to use as awards for dealers selling the most Ford Pintos. Some came on a wooden base with the chrome emblem on it and one of these plastic horses painted white with brown spots. It featured a foal or a stallion (walking), mare (standing) and foal (standing).  In my Breyer model book there's a picture of one of these statuettes. When I saw it I about died. That's THE holy grail for me!

It was a good show.  On Saturday, I was the only pinto in attendance, Sunday brought a second one out of the woodwork.  If you attend many of the hot rod shows in so cal, you become familiar with some of the cars. Lots of nice old American steel and some new (mustang, g8) and some imports (Lotus 7, MG with v8, VW with v8 in back...)

My car had a lot of comments, grins, laughs and thumbs up.  If you live near, I would definitely recommend going to this show or shows like Doughnut Derelicts in HB.  It is always rewarding with the comments.

A horse is a horse of course, of course
 
And we all know who talks to their horse of course, of course

Go right to the source and ask the horse,

We'll give you the answer that you endorse..

Talk to Mr Fred,

When Becky and Kim can't get the gist, and everything's coming up on the short list..

You might have thought they'd have thrown a shoe, but then you think it could happen to you..

You say you can't fix a part of your horse?

Well listen to this, .... "I am Mr.Fred!"

I'm getting so excited!!!!! We are trying to get my AM/FM 8track stereo re wired (they didn't save the wiring from the radio to the speakers and all). Once that is done and confirmed to be in working order, I can install everything and then I will be ready for Knotts!!!!!
