Whats up guys? My names Matt and am from Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. I recently got a mini for free. I've been asking the people for 3 years now. Long story short, the son(the real owner) told me that I could have it for free because he has no time for it anymore. The engine is rebuilt and does run. There was some rust but he cut it out already. I believe its a MK2 based on pictures.

I look forward to chatting with you guys!

Take er easy!
