I'm new to the RX7 scene. I've been wanting to gain some new friendships and what not. Unfortunately, I've noticed a large lack of 7s in the area so I was just curious as to who all is from Minnesota on this board? Slash post pics of your 7?

 

Im not quite so new to 7's but im in the same boat. i would love to meet some people in mn with 7's.

 

Hopefully this pic will show up...

 

Im actually in the Minneapolis area too. Either on the river or in the suburbs. Youre one of the few guys on here Ive seen that are actually near me haha.

Thats a nice 7. Do you store it in the winter? Hopefully I'll snap some pics when i get mine before i have to go back to school

 

haha i wish i could say i store it in the winter but its my daily driver. i actually kinda like driving it in the snow, but thats why im having to buy a shell.... heh

 

i have a red one like that too with almost mint leather interior and no RUST....but its an auto.....i do also have a white 89 gxl tii swap thats damaged selling for 3300....i would swap it into the red one but no garage ;( im located in little canada which isnt too far either

 

No buddies to borrow a lift from? lol. Mines an auto too, no worries lol

Yeah mines going to be my daily driver as well. Ill be in school through the winter though so I'm hoping to find some place to store it. Its been stored by the previous owners so far.

 

Welcome! I'm in Anoka and I just bought a 1990 GXL myself. Getting the engine put in and ready to go for this summer. I've also noticed the lack of RX's around, but there is one that I see every once in a while here in Anoka. No pics for you yet, It's waaaaay too dirty and torn apart for pictures now...

if i had a dollar for everytime this thread was started...

 

haha, b nice. But you would like 10 bucks

 

Hey man I might be able to help you with that swap.... we should try to get some people together some time soon here though.

 

Yea we twin city guy got to do a meet one day,it's time to do a weekly meet going.And have are own club or something..

 

Id be down for a club anyday

 

There was one! If you guys would search alittle you would have known this already.

 

WAS would be the key word there wouldnt it......

 

Key and point.

 

No garage... and yes that means no lift too but I think its going to leave me tomorrow. I have a guy thats really interested and coming to get it.

 

Aww thats sad.

What was the old club and why did it fail?

 

North star rotary but i dont know what happend to that....

 

When it comes down to it, most everyone with a rotary likes to run there mouth about how we need to get together with no follow through at all.
Last time there was a cruise it was just kerry, his wife, and me, and I didn't even have my 7.

 

Well I can guarantee that if there was a meet to go to I would do my best to show up. Unless I'm working or something I would be there. I remember seeing a bunch of guys in Pontiac Grand Prixs doing a meet by my house once. I've wanted a piece of that action ever since.

 

I actually still have the checkbook from the old club, something like $1200 in the account. I still haven't spent it on myself.

A club like this needs commitment from ALL members involved. Jim L was instumental in getting the club up and running with others (like myself) pitching in to fill the gaps. When he was overburdened by the task and stepped away, the gap fillers were not enough to keep the group afloat. I had a couple cookout gatherings at my place in Saint Louis Park a few years back and we had a decent turnout.

As it has been said, there are a lot of talkers. Someone needs to take the torch and proceed to the next step.

What was the reason for no one showing up to planned events? Was it apathy or were people just busy

 

It makes me feel a little better knowing that Iowa isnt the only place that sucks ***** for trying to schedule a meet.

 

I used to do some web programming i could set up a forum. and i can drive my car to a place and cook up a mean rack of ribs... I wish i could provide a place for a meet... MAPerformance in plymouth might be down but i have no idea. I have no problem making time in my life to bring people together over their collective passion for a wonderful machine. Lets do this thing. people interested in really starting to organize shoot me a pm and we should all grab lunch and discuss ideas...
