Any RX owners in MN?

We are contemplating a move from Texas to Duluth. I'm wondering if there are any RX people in that area?

My aunt-in-law lives norht of Duluth in Silver Bay, and we go up there at least once a year.

I have an '87 GXL and live in St. Paul and work in Apple Valley. The more 7 owners in Minnesota, the better, so get up here.

Well, when I'm not deployed to foreign countries, I reside north of St. Paul. We go on car trips to Duluth all the time. Canal park is beautiful there. that and if you are looking for a good resturant, Grandma's bar and grill is awsome, and Little Angies, is the best place for southwestern food. My favorite is the stuffed pabueno peppers. Sooo, good. They also have alot of awsome stores there. They have car and car audio shows at the canal park all the time. Also make sure you visit the new aquarium that they just built, the William A. Irving (Ore ship that is open to the public), and the Glensheen mansion. Canal park also has a Shipping museum at Canal park, and the Spilt Rock lighthouse. In downtown Duluth, they have a train depot museum, with about 7 different trains that you can climb all over. The town is really historic, but there is so much that goes on there in the way of fun which makes it wonderful. If I didn't have all of my family near the Twin Cities, I would have moved there in a second. Crime is fairly low and traffic is almost nonexistant. Only thing that I would think that might be a problem is that it does get cold here in MN, but, with Duluth, most of the downtown stores are connected via walkways, and the weather seems to be what makes people go out of their way to have fun.

Rotary and anything else specialists...
Huttner Enterprises

ask for Tim, he is the owner and can do anything you can come up with for your car from stock to very very exotic...

What have I had done? Oh nothing much, just a 20B conversion... everybody's got those nowdays so no big deal...

Only a couple have and she sounds really really nasty but she needs to be painted so her makeup is not so good right now.

If the weather holds I'll be at the Brooklyn Park on Oct. 8th at the Luther Mazda/Mitsubishi dealership from 1-5. See the other post in this section on the specifics. If the weather is bad I'll still be there but just not with my baby.

Hi Brock, my other nickname is Chest Rockwell

Champlin, huh? You should come to our Luther Mazda gathering on Oct. 8th since you're so close. Love to meet some new members and possibly get you to join our local club? It's only $25/yr and you get 20% off parts at Luther which basically pays for itself with one spark plug change.
