MINI2

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone had any particular recommendations for magazines specifically about the MINI?

I noticed there are quite a few on the shelves in WH Smiths, just wondered which was the best?

I'm afraid I've no idea - it'd be good to find out though!

Unless there is a new publication out that i don't know about there is only one MINI magazine, and that's Modern MINI. It's dedicated entirely to the new MINI. As a subscriber I enjoy it, but it has flaws. Some of the tech details are a bit iffy, and their choice of feature cars is interesting sometimes. I also have a theory that they don't like the Cooper, as they only ever seem to feature the ONE & S models

There are other Mini magazines, Miniworld & Mini Mag, but these are classic only. Chances of seeing a New MINI in either of these is slim. Miniworld especially seem determined to perpetuate the classic's scenes new MINI bashing. I prefer Mini mag myself as Mini world has gone a bit Max Power of late.

Ah, good advice, thanks. I'll look out for it.

Clever strategy - though you must be a quick reader!

Usually my weekly big dump

Nah i commute 3hrs a day on the train so i read pretty much every magazine there is on the market over a week period. Surprisingly i managed to sell all my modern mini mags for about 70 quid.

That last bit of information has just put off any potential eBay purchasers on here!

I think reading the ads in Modern Mini take more time than reading the articles

2 x hours should see a cover to cover in-depth read!!

Welcome to MC2 Magazine

Pretty good mag but more US based.

Modern Mini put a good spread in about the GP Display
Got a GP owner ringing up already so pleased with that

Hehe, I brought a few (Well it was more than a few

) off you.

MC2 is better magazine than Modern Mini in my eyes, can only get it via subscription as it is US based. These are the only two I know about.
