April "Plains" Technical Support Zoom Meeting, Austin-Healey AHCA
2026-04-14 19:00
You are invited to attend the first (hopefully of many) monthly “Plains” Austin Healey Technical Support Zoom Meetings with your fellow AHCA members of the Flatwater, MidWest Region, Kansas City, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the three Texas clubs.
This successful program has been done in Northeast for the past 8 years, with 40-50 Club Members participating.
The purpose of the Technical Support Zoom is to assist all club members with maintenance and repair of their Austin Healey’s and Sprite’s for all major systems of the marque. Our call will be an open forum for all your Healey technical questions. There will be a panel of experts on the Zoom to answer your questions. No question is too complex, or simple. We record Zoom Technical calls to provide a permanent record for club members and use AI Companion to capture the discussions.
The “experts” on this call will be: Matt Krajniak, Steve Rixen, and Steve Myers
Please email Matt Krajniak at redtr6@gmail.com with any of your technical questions in advance. This helps your “experts” prepare to answer your questions.
See the email reminder for the zoom link, meeting ID, and passcode.

Scott McQueen is once again hosting a garage open house at his carriage house on Saturday March 121.

When and where: 415 11th Avenue SE, Minneapolis, on Saturday, March 15, from 10 AM to 1 PM. It’s a great time to get together and talk Austin-Healey’s, vintage racing or whatever. All sports car enthusiasts and their partners are welcome, espeically MAHC and other friends, plus the Vintage Sportscar Racing Club (VSCR).
Food and drink: There will be coffee and other beverages, as well as donuts for those who enjoy nourishment between meals.

Parking instructions:
it is during spring break at the University, so the neighborhood is less congested, and there should be some available street parking. Scott’s is the building to the right and the Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority and their parking are located to the left. The Sorority will allow us to occupy their parking lot for this event during the semester break. Some of the residents and their cars will still be in the lot, so be mindful of this when parking in their facility. Entry doorway to the downstairs Clubhouse/Garage is on the Northwest corner of the building. Do not disturb the upstairs student renters. It’s still a good idea to carpool if thats easy for a few of you.

The Carriage House
415 11th Ave SE. Minneapolis, MN 55414
Follow the sidewalk to the side door along the right side of the building on the main level.

Cars & Caves Show German Cars
2025-09-27 09:00 - 13:00 | Chanhassen AutoPlex, 1740 Motorplex Court, Chanhassen, MN, 55317, United States
The Chanhassen AutoPlex sponsors Last Saturday Shows, known as “Cars and Caves.” They are a typical car show including a variety of classic cars, street rods, and exotic cars. About 400 cars come through the gate on a nice day, and there are a few hundred more cars on display in the garage condos at the Chanhassen AutoPlex. What makes these shows unique is the opportunity for folks to tour the many garage condos; each one has a different theme. The shows involve Food trucks, sometimes music, and/or other activities involved. The May show on Memorial Day weekend is the largest show of the year, and it includes a military fly over.
They also have car shows on some Wednesday evenings; which they call “Summer Nights.” The dates are published on their website: https://chanhassenautoplex.com/
There is no cost for the shows, but they do ask for a freewill donation for a charity chosen for each show.

Charley is hosting an open garage on Saturday June 28th at 10am.

We will have coffee, water and doughnuts. Any and all “motorheads” are welcome.
