Chris
Being at a point in my life where I am ready for new adventures, finding a club like this was a wonderful surprise, I was welcomed so kindly, and learned it really is a small world.
Barry
I enjoy sharing knowledge about cars and learning from other car collectors about their cars. I particularly like the diversity of collector cars and the fun dynamics of the members.
Robin
I love getting together and meeting people with common interests. Sizzling Summer Nights is my favorite because I host that event and it’s always great fun and a great show.
About Lambda Car Club
The Great Northern Region is a local chapter of Lambda Car Club International (“LCCI”). We predominantly serve the Twin Cities and the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota and Iowa.
LCCI is the largest car club for LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly automobile enthusiasts in North America.
The purpose of Lambda Car Club International is the enjoyment and exchange of information on all motor vehicles combined with social fellowship by LGBTQ+ community members and allies. We welcome and appreciate all makes/marques, models and years of motor vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles etc.).
All vehicles of any age or condition are welcome at club events. Our members run everything from brass era antiques to cutting edge technological marvels and from Japanese micro cars to huge American land yachts. While some members own fleets of collectible automobiles, still others own one, or even no cars. If you’re into cars, whether it’s an acquisitive obsession or it’s just an interest you enjoy from afar, you are very welcome to participate!
