I just got back... ON A DAMN WRECKER!!!! My car died just outside of Wheeling West Virginia & had to have it towed home the last 130 miles or so. I'll let you all know what happened.

Enjoy. I had a good time meeting & getting to know all of you that I had a chance to speak with.

Nice Job!!! By the way all, I figured out the problem. The car cannot run without fuel. No I wasn't out of gas. Harley (pintoman) can testify to that..lol. I thought it was the fuel filter so I changed it, but the filter does no good if the pump does not pump the gas. It's not that old so I'm gonna pull it off & get it warrantied out.

Well, in case everyone does not yet know... I was forced to turn around and head back home due to more truck problems.. so I missed the show... I FedEx all the stuff to Tony Peterson and he was able to get it to everyone on Sunday Morning/ Afternoon...

I'm really sorry I was not able to be there & meet and greet everyone properly...

It really looks like a great showing, I can kick myself for not seeing Dave's car in person & who's yellow 72 is that in the photos?

Connie and I wish to give a big THANKS to all the people that helped put that togeather, all those that were able to attend, and to all those tried their best to be there. It was also great to meet so many of "us" in person. We had a great time and WILL be back, and we also hope to get to more shows.

We got home last night about 9:30.

Matt, sorry to hear that you had problems getting home; We are glad you got there and can get 'er back on the road soon.

I will get some pic's posted soon.

Bill

Wow, what a great bunch of Pintos.Scott, sorry to hear you did not make the show. I would like to know who the pintos belong to, that is, name the car/owner. It would be great to place a name ( or even a face) to a car.

r4pinto · « **Reply #99 on:** June 05, 2006, 11:43:35 AM »

Well, I own the brown one & my name is Matt. Please excuse me while I go & get it running...lol ( I'm actually serious though)

DTD
Great job with the photo's, thanks for posting them so promptly. What a great event, we really enjoyed ourselves. What a great group of folks. Sorry to hear about Matt's fuel pump troubles. We had a safe and uneventful trip home and ran with CB radios in our cars. I sweat every trucker from Harrisburg to Hartford had some comment about the creamsicle. I'm looking forward to next year. I hope we have an ever growing turnout to promote our cars and our club.

Thanks for your sympathies Connie. Yours was a damn good looking Pinto & it gave our years (77-78) good representation . Harold II should be up & running soon hopefully. She has a full tank of gas while my Corolla is on empty. DTD it was nice meeting you & the shots were great. I've gotta get my pix to a store to get developed & onto a picture disk so I can upload them to all you guys here.

r4pinto · « **Reply #102 on:** June 05, 2006, 01:47:48 PM »

Update on the car... I pulled the pump off & fuel spilled out the lines. When that happened it hopefully confirmed that the pump is bad. The fuel was there before the pump but nothing after the pump. Going now to get it warrantied out.

We bought the photo getting the plaque from the beauty queen. I was looking at it this morning and saw that the plus signs on the wheels were perfectly aligned for the occasion. What luck. A few of you will know what I'm talking about and will get a good laugh.

I wish to thank every one for coming out.Even for the ones who's cars did not make it.I felt bad for leaving Matt along the freeway,i was leading in a rain storm and did not see him pullover.I am glad he made it home OK and that the car will live again.I will get a list of winners in the next day or so.Lost the results,have to figure out who's who.The pictures are great and i thank PINTONY for dropping the doors off at my place on his way back.

r4pinto · « **Reply #111 on:** June 05, 2006, 07:34:15 PM »

Thanks for giving me your number before we headed out Harley. I got the car running today, bu it's running very poorly. Something else had to have gone wrong since it's running badly. Oh well. Atleast Harold II went around 800 miles or so without any problems. I still had fun even with the car problems the last 140 miles & was glad to meet all of you guys. Like you said Harley, the car will run again, although slightly wounded. I got mad at it today & kicked the crap out of the LF fender. Good thing it's rusty anyways.

wantapinto · « **Reply #112 on:** June 05, 2006, 07:49:18 PM »

hey 77Turbopinto.. ..Who owns the white Pinto in your photos?..Thats my kind of clean look I am going for. Do you have any more photos of that car? And the Engine compartment. Thanks, Dave

CONSFIRE · « **Reply #113 on:** June 05, 2006, 09:31:09 PM »

Good evening to all my new friends,
It's Monday night and I'm still on cloud nine,got home last night about 10 PM unloaded the car off the trailer and couldn't get to sleep so I posted a long thread on my local car club site(WNYCARCLUBS.CO M) and the little one here, finally went to bed around 3 in the morning. Got up this morning at 8 and had so much energy I didn't slow down the whole day. boy,what good weekend will do for 'ya! Scott,I'm quite sure the Pinto you are asking about is my '71. Sorry to hear about Matt breaking down,glad he got home alright. Harley,a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for doing a great job on the planning and seeing that we all had a really good time(my buddy Mark had a great time too!). Pintony,thanks for the goodie bag and bringing the purple Pinto it's really nice! See you all real soon!

r4pinto · « **Reply #114 on:** June 05, 2006, 10:04:28 PM »

Yeah, yours really was a nice Pinto. But to be honest all of them there were. It was nice to meet everyone & I'm glad to say that you guys are a great bunch of people. None of you looked down on mine & have shown nothing but concern & what not regarding my breaking down on the way. Rest asured I will Not rest until my car is back on the road. No matter how painful it is to her. She will be back next year. & I already have a couple people who want to come & see all the great Pintos ( and the rest of the other fords too ) Yes I wish she woulda made the trip in one piece, but she didnt, so now I'll just find out what the heck went wrong & fix it. Got my pix developed today so I'm gonna get 'em scanned & posted.
