Week 02 : January 8 - January 14, 2024
A fascinating collection of rare gas pumps near you ... A Minnesota car club leading the way ... A must see car show that needs to be on your calendar this year!
Welcome Show Junkies
As we enter the dark and coldest part of winter my thoughts turn to indoor activities. This winter I’ve launched into the conversion of a very old and neglected building. The buildings original design and purpose was for housing chickens. Later used as workshop, tool shed and storage. As I delve into the restoration and conversion into a workshop and hobby shop my curiosity wandered onto the internet for inspiration. The video featured offers a glimpse into the past. Located in Morris Minnesota this collection of vintage gas pumps is impressive to say the least. And even better, a rare opportunity to see in person by appointment. A great destination for your next car cruise.
What’s that … you don’t belong to a car club (for shame). I get it, life can be hectic especially during the holidays. Well it’s your lucky day because I have a solution. A Minnesota car club that’s leading the way with a great website, active FB page and a regular schedule of events. Now’s the time to join a group of local enthusiasts and plan your summer event schedule. Take a few minutes today and visit their website and consider joining.
Finally, as summer approaches the car shows are solidifying dates, locations and making preparations. This weeks feature show is just across our southern border. Even better the event is taking place at a drag strip. Take a minute and add this event to your calendar now. Events of this caliber are best planned in advance and an opportunity to reach out to old friends.
As always, thanks for subscribing and sharing.

Northern Star Mustang Club
Minnesota's Largest Mustang Club and Mustang Club of America affiliate
“The Northern Star Mustang Club was created in 2020 by merging the Southwest Metro Mustang Club and the Upper Midwest Region Shelby American Auto Club. We are the Twin Cities chapter of the Mustang Club of America and consider ourselves the most active Mustang club in Minnesota!
Our club members' rides include samples of each generation of Mustangs and Shelbys and include unrestored, daily drivers, trailered, and race-inspired examples. We even have members who are proud owners of other collector cars and trucks, but we all have a love for all things Mustang!”
I joined this club in late 2023 and so far have been pleasantly surprised. The process to join was very simple and completed online. Within minutes of joining I received a very professional welcome email. Within a few days a packet arrived with a welcome letter, stickers and customized refrigerator magnets (sweet!). I quick visit to the club Northern Star Mustang Club website presented a nice design and up to date event calendar (hooray!).
The weeks that followed included email updates with event details and much needed reminders (thank you). I have yet to attend a meeting but will remedy that tonight because the club meetings are available thru Zoom. A quick entry into my calendar (with reminder) and I can attend from the comfort of home.
Although I don’t own a Mustang or Shelby (bucket list) the experience so far has been great and I look forward to attending future events in person.
If you are searching for an active club I encourage you to give the Northern Star Mustang Club of the Twin Cities your consideration.
