Made it over the vine! Got about an hour or so and we will be ar Knotts hotel!!

 I hear the distant thunder of many horses galloping over the Horizon. Restless Ponies are everywhere, Mustangs, Pintos, and even a Few Gamblers driving a Maverick. I smell an aroma of Shelby's Chili, Hot Motors, and sizzling Rubber. Albertos neighborhood will be busy today... The land of Knott will emit a Blue Oval haze.. revelry at Breakfast, Nirvana at noon!
 
 This I see from my Oracle, what do you want to happen in your Universe?

 I will transcend time and space.. the Horse does imagine great things for U all..

 Pintosopher.. half a order short of a Happy Meal!

See you should have replaced it a long time ago. It was bad at our house!!!!! LOL

I hope you have a spare!!!

[pintogirl]

We are all checked in and wired in too!! LOL This high speed is fast!!!!  :fastcar:  I guess my comcast sucks!! LOL

Who else is at the Knotts resort? I know Joe Morgan is, I see his trailer! We were going to steel one of his cones to save our spot when we take the truck to go meet Fred later!! LOL

[Pangra74]

I'm here Kim, room 138
Got in at 1:30am this morning. Was a good run for my car. No oil loss, so I guess it's fixed!

We are in room 111 !  We got here about 12.00. Got checked in right away and then loafed for a bit. Then called Becky and met up with her and Fred and Joy. Hung out there for a bit. Went and had Pizza and wings!!! MMmmm good!!! We got back to the motel to find the spot in front of the LOADED on trailer Pinto was taken by another car. So we couldn't back up and unload Pinto. Talked to security and supposedly that car is supposed be gone some time tonight. It has only a one day pass. I sure hope so because it will zoop to not be able to go the show because we can't get the Pinto off the trailer!!!!!    So now we will have to keep going out and checking to see if that car left or not! What a pain!

So if any of you are on a higher floor and can see the Ghost on the trailer, let me know if the car in front is gone yet!

You can take the trailer over to the Sears parking lot in the AM. and unload over there if you have to.

We can't get the truck backed up to hook it up to unload or even move the trailer!!!!!!

wonder if that car that's blocking has an alarm. I say rock the car and set off the alarm and see who comes out

LOL, May try that if it is still here in a few hours! Supposedly it is here for a special even the Hotel is hosting and should be gone later tonight! Just sucks to have to go out and check on it. I told hubby we should leave a note saying to call when it gets ready to leave so we can come hook our trailer back up! I mean come on, obvously a truck had to be hooked to it, why would one park in front knowing that truck may need to come back and re hook up! Morons! LOL If all else fails we will have it towed for blocking! LOL

[Fred Morgan]

HEHEHEHE!!! (cackle!)

I have commandeered Fred and Joy's Rolling Hilton!  They re tied up to the tree outside. I wonder if Bailey Dog will bring them their blankets...it's chilly-willy out there! Meanwhile, there's popcorn in the microwave...

[Pangra74]

I have a floor jack with me. We can just pick it up and move it elsewhere...sl owly of course

[Srt]

8 1/2 hours 'till breakfast @ Carrows !!!

[Fred Morgan]

Give me a call in AM you know I have a lot of chains, if can't find owner for you well it will be drag time.  Fred   

[pintogirl]

Ok, I got to put my truck in front of trailer at about 10pm! All is good and now we need to go hook it up this morning to unload Pinto! Almost Breakfast time!!!

I wish I could be there too... I had fun last year 

Have Fun All!

[Srt]

Good times here @ FFF @ Knotts. Someone said they counted 27 Pintos all in a row.

Weather is real nice not too hot like last year & a cool breeze to go along with the cool cars & cool people.

J. Stratton showed & we had a nice time bringing back old memories. He spent a good amount of time with the Pangra owners.

Updates later!

Had a great time at the show today.  Look forward to seeing everyone again. 

Here are pictures of cars from today.  (The pictures seem a little unstable at the moment due to facebook)  I will be sure to update any that go missing over the next few days. 

[pintogirl]

Yep, Knott's is gone again!  We had a good time and the weather was perfect!!! Having an umbrella for shade this year made it even more enjoyable, that and the scooters to zip around the show in!! We actually saw the whole thing this year!! LOL

I didn't take many photos this year. I will share what I did take tomorrow or Tuesday. I didn't bring my card reader with me to Knotts, so they are stuck in the camera at the moment! LOL

Time for bed now. Have to get up at O dark thirty to head back home and stop and pick up another wagon in Fresno. Then hopefully a sedan in Modesto!!

Thank you for the use of your umbrella with my daughter.  Had a great time and good luck on the pinto collection. 

[Wittsend]

Vonkysmeed, thanks for posting the pictures so fast.  Went the last two years, but year three and still not able to get my Pinto there so I decided to stay home.

Was that "Anthony from Illinois" I saw in a few pictures (not sure if there is a filter on his "nick-name" being used in the forum)?  If so, what car did he bring?

  Sounds like everyone had a good time.  Well..., maybe next year.

Bragger! lol. :lol:


I made it home, door and all! Many many thanks to Fred and Joy for their hospitality and Mountain Dews (and the door! lol.), Kimmy and Bob for their help installing the um "new" door, uninstalling the original door (rusted-out driver's door,  remember? lol.), and doing the majority of getting the original door in the car (and they said it couldn't be done!) I am so glad I came- it made me put aside my grief and remember that there's still good... and yes fun...still in this world. I had a great time seeing my Pinto Peeps Alberto and his great family, Barth and Virginia (no you STILL can't have Karma! lol), who have a couple of the warmest hearts... Brad thank you for letting me win that great tee-shirt for having the Rustiest Door (Fred NOW you know why I wanted to keep the door on for the show! lol!)...Joe (Pangra74) for his companionship during Bag Stuffing (alright where were the rest of you Saturday!?! lol.) and the show...Sheesh. .. please forgive me if I have forgotten anyone... and I know I have... You all have restored joy back into my life when only days ago it came crashing down. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.    Pictures to come soon...

I just KNEW FFF would be the best medicine ever for you!  Glad you had a good time.  Talk to you later!

Hmm ..  Sounds like a Great time was had by all.  I think my wifey slipped a Horse tranq into my French toast on Sunday. Even Nasty Car wasn't a thrill on the Tube. My mind was in Buena Park, My hooves on the Ottoman, Numb Horseman say nothing of note.
 Thanks to all who went and made it a Success!

 Pintosopher.. Taking bets on Kimmy's new acquisitions.. Will the Stable overflow?

I  believe it was, but do not know what car he brought.  Unfortunately I spent most of the time at my car due to my 18 month old being cranky and not wanting to miss a thing by taking a nap. 

[Norman Bagi]

Wow, sounds like you all had a great time. I plan on flying out for next years Bash.  I will have to leave my Pintos home though.  :lol:
