I was tipped off about this Clubby this morning, so I went down the road and snapped these pics just now (lunch break).

I was looking around the houses close by and saw the blinds shut on one. I went in and knocked on the door. A lady answered and I asked:

Me: "Hi, Just wondering who owns the Mini on the street?"

Lady: (with door only partly open) "Not us, I don't know anything about it, who are you, what do you want...."

Me: "I am not a cop or from Council......I am restoring one myself..." :lol:

Lady: "Ohhhhh..... (door opens) it belongs to next door"

So I went next door but no one is home. :(

Bummer...... :lol: :P

No mini owning senior citizen is safe in their own home from Anton! :wink: :D :D

Anton, you're gonna get a name like the bible bashers if you keep door knocking :P :wink:

All jokes aside, it'll be good to see someone save it!
