MN911 is infamous around these parts
Hello from Minnesota
Just wanted to introduce myself and my ride. I've spent a lot of time visiting this site so it was time to finally join in. Back in June I picked up one of my dream cars that I can actually afford (I had to face the fact that the 997 GT3 wasn't coming anytime soon) which is a mid eighties 911. I ended up getting a 1985 even though I was originally looking for an 87 or 88 with the G50 transmission. I wasn't finding any good ones near by so when I came across a nice 85 I figured it would be a good way to get my foot in the Pcar door and I can always upgrade later. Unfortunately it is going into storage for the winter this weekend so I won't see it again until April. Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick hello from a soon to be very cold Minnesota.

Welcome from a fellow '85 ROW owner Don't worry about having a 915 transmission, a well kept/set up 915 will shift just as good as a G-50.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Here are a couple more pics that were taken at this summers local PCA show...hopefully they come through okay since I am still learning how to work this site. I've already made my rookie status obvious by my first post going in twice. Oops.
