Hello from Michigan

Just wanted to say hello. I just rescued a Mini from the back row of a of a Chevrolet dealer. No one there wanted to put a clutch in it, so, it set there for about three weeks.
Its a 2010 Cooper S Convertible Laurel Sport Edition. It needs a little work, but over all really good shape. I just need to get the time to put the clutch in.

Welcome, sounds like you got a good deal, but maybe a great deal with all the accessories that come on that car since it's a Laurel edition. Let us know if we can help you out the clutch on that car isn't that bad.

That ain't a garage, it's a laboratory! I'm guessing your in the car repair business.

Pretty good eye for the cars in there.
Thank for the compliments. I work at an independent auto repair shop.
I do have a few cars, the iroc is actually an 82 Sport Coupe I have had it since high school. It has a 454 and a 4 speed trans. It was my money maker in the early 90's. I bought the Corvette in 1997, it was a lease turn in at a dealer I worked. The yellow car is a 78 Z28 my dad and I restored a few years ago.
My parents have a MINI Cooper S Roadster. It's a pretty fun little car.
