Listen my children and you will hear the late night sounds of a gearhead. Every year this time members of the Ford family stay up late plotting their grand entrance to the greatest Ford show in Southern California....."Fabulous Ford Forever" better known as Knotts. For than 2,000 owners of Ford made vehicles will converge on Knotts Berry Farm for a day filled with detail spray, redline tires, C-4 transmissions, Toploaders, Philco radios, Goodyear Polyglass tires and enough wax to slid from San Diego to Hong Kong.

Knotts is like the Super Bowl to any Ford owner that loves a good car show. Every vehicle ever made
by Ford will be on hand at Knotts from the Model A to the Ford Fusion. You will be able to see up close and personal some of the baddest Fords in one spot. Bring your walking shoes and camera with spare batteries with a good size flash card, trust me you will take many pictures.

For those that will participate in Knotts here's a tip, if you haven't ordered that part yet forget it IT'S TOO LATE. Take it from someone that has been there and done it. Trying to find that one off accessory for your Mustang a week before the show and ordering it three days before Knotts and expecting to get it in time for Knotts WILL NOT HAPPEN. Look Gearheads, haven't you heard of Murphy's Law whatever can happen will. Everybody and their mother will order the same stuff for their 2004 Terminator and that billet piece will be out of stock in two days. So if you waited the last minute again to buy those custom made billet wheels they will probably arrive a day after Knotts.

Here's my suggestion, if you don't have all your parts by now, don't email the retailer ever day asking them "what's the status of my order?" I can tell you they are too busy trying to answer phone calls and
emails and shipping out a $5.00 part via priority shipping that cost $35.00 to ship because you have a car show on Saturday. Planning is the key not procrastination. Remember your lack of planning does not constitute and emergency for someone else. Telling a retailer that you have a car show on Sunday
is like telling the Mother Superior in catholic school that your dog ate your homework. Good try but.

For those of you looking for some smoking deals on Mustang and Fairlane parts at the last minute
the folks at California Mustang in the City of Industry California is having a BIG sale the day before
the Knotts show. Bring your pick-up, SUV, skateboard and load up with some gear for your whip.
They will be more than happy to sell you some gear for your Ford just in time for the Fabulous Fords
Forever show, so you can stay up until 3am putting that starter on your '64 Falcon then turn around
and get up at 6am just in time make it to Knotts the next morning.

See you at Knotts and please bring some brownies I'll bring the strawberries.
