New MINI Magazine

I wanna be part of the gang so I just bought a copy too.

Got to agree that the photography is excellent. I suspect that it will be down hill from here though. I don't believe that you can fill a magazine with such a narrow spectrum of interest with interesting articles every month. Repetition will probably start in February!

I don't doubt that I will buy it anyway and it will sit in the big pile of magazines I get delivered every month and never look at. And not that kind of magazine before anyone starts!

And the article showing how to fit an air filter is rubbish!

Gaj sorry to burst your bubble but it tells you inside that it is by monthly the next issue is out on the 22nd of January, I know this as I have read the print off it already FAB:cool::cool::cool:.

Bas

That's good news that it's bi-monthly as there is no way that it would remain readable over any period of time otherwise - if you don't believe me try subscribing to any specialist interest magazine for a period of time - repetition invariably soon steps in.

Don't you worry about my bubble bazza:question:, I don't want the magazine to get dull, it's just that I feared that it may get that way if it was a monthly publication - hopefully it will take twice as long as I initially thought though!

Nah, I shouldn't :I I won't go there.... sorry 8)

Not that kind of magazine!:I

Especially not the special interest ones! I don't want to go there so won't even begin to mention '50's and over'

Each to their own I suppose!;)

Just had a quick filck over said 'special interest' magazine......I said flick!!;):I

What about the 3 pioneer MINI's - the one with the HUGE sub that fills the boot and is driven by 4...yes 4 amps is outrageous!

Shouldn't be any real problems replacing any of the windows in that MINI - just turn the volume/bass up and they'll pop out themselves! :D

BTW - Was [s]dissapointed[/s]glad to see Clare suitably dressed this time:I not at all like her pictures in the MINI babes thread in OT&B on MINI2!! ;):p:evil:

<At which point lesley gives wul a clip round the ear>

Now that was 'special interest'. Readers wives anyone?

heh heh heh..
Oh.. the new Mini mag... not the 'other'... ;););)

Aye the new mini mag, they dinnae sell the other sort over there.......too much religion lol jk

Does anyone else wonder how the very first issue of a magazine can have a "readers letters" page?

I still haven't found it.

Anyone know anywhere on the east side of Edi that has it?

Ta, Ken.

RS McColls at Elm Row and the St. James Centre.

Don't know if you mean more east than this though!

Got mine in the post today, will be giving it a thorough read later on :)

Ken - the new asda at Chesser has it so try the Jewel for a copy.

Not much reading in it at present - decent articles and good pictures - only time will tell if it improves or not!

Typical, just flicking through the pages and noticed the corgi advert for the italian job replica cars, the red car does not have the S scoop, its attention to detail like that which puts me right off :mad:

Nothing against the mag i might add ;)

Got the mag today in Brum. Good quality pictures and layout. Like everybody else, I hope they can keep the standards up to current level. Whether you like or dislike him (I like), they paid the money to get "Clarkson" in the first issue, so they seem to be committed.
The ICE article was almost the same as the MAX Power article in November.
No doubt they will get ideas from Mini2.com, NMS etc. as the months go on.

What Clarkson? :mad: I don't want to line that big plonkers pocket :disapprove:

Thanks for the tips on where to get it although parking my MINI at Asda at the Jewel is surely not worth it Wul. I'm sometimes over at Chesser so mibbe try in there.

I can't believe Borders at Fort Boyard doesn't have it - they seem to stock every other motoring mag in the world.

yeah... noticed that... it's in MiniMag too.. and a few others... wish they could get the details right... the wheels are shocking!!
I did see a collectors Italian job set down at Mini in the Park... It was a lot better than that one.. but I didn't have the £50 odd quid to spend on it!! I ony wanted it cos the white one had S Spokes like mine!! ;);)

Yeah Corgi are not reknowned for there attention to detail on there models. Noticed the bonnet scoop missing from the Red S and on my original italian job set the spot lights are all in a row rather than in a "hi-lo" configuration as in the film. Looks like they just take stock models and produce them in the right colours.

Scalextric have produced an Italian job set with excellent cars - but only 2 - both seem to have the right details - bumpers, grills, spots, wheels, etc and the cooper S has bonnet scoop and chrome "S" logo side repeaters. Guess what I'm getting for Christmas!

You might have warned me about the bl**dy speed bumps though ;)

Just had a flick through the mag so far - looks good.

Think I'll subscribe to save any hassle finding it in the future.

:DKen - those speed bumps are horrendous! but as i live near didn't need to ruin my suspension to get my copy!;)

Why oh why are they putting mcd's in asda's now - bang goes my lazy sunday morning breakfasts! ;)

Because of the Walmart thing I think. I think there is a McD's in every Walmart in the States - at least the 3 I've been in had them.
