Largest Shot in the Dark Ever

Hello!

I am a student at Queens University in Charlotte, NC and I have a very unusual question. I have always had a dream/goal of owning a Classic Mini Cooper and desperately have been trying to find a way to get one. One that preferably runs and could do with some fixing up. I am not looking for a brand new spectacular mini. I already have a daily driver that I use everyday so it wouldn't be used to replace that.

My questions is this (I know this is ridiculous) but.......Does anyone have a classic mini that they are trying to get rid of that would want to sell it for a couple hundred dollars or possibly give it as a donation.

I know this is a pipe dream but I can at least say I tried....

There's a thread about a free classic mini in this section. It's pretty short, so give it a read to get an idea about how this might work for you.

Oh you mean that is 177 pages long?

I think I may have to hold off until I have to read a small book like that.

Looks good, but don't forget to check for rust before downloading.
