Pick up mine last night, lots of adverts for some cool stuff!! :cool:
Did not like that orange mini one, I did notice in the article that he wants it to be as fast as his mums car - AN M3!!??
Julz did you read the bit about the air supension?? BabyD could get onto the ferry then? :D
Is that the same guy??/Quote:

I preferred his mini when he had it in the purple/green flip paint, at least then it resembled a mini!!:dead:
Bleh... it was nasty then too.... :dead::dead:
Poor ickle Mini....
By the way WH Smiths in Dundee has the mag! ;):cool::D
Hopfully mine will be at the garage when I finish work tonight :D
Yep, thats pretty much what i thought on the first reading too.Quote:

Finally my copy arrived today but not impressed - A mega rich kid who spends obscene amounts of money to mangle a mini and another "cool dude" cruising in my mini article. :( Maybe I will think it's better once I have time to read it properly.
Aargh that orange Mini is awful.
Not that impressed with the overall mag im afriad to say, could be a lot better.......maybe it will improve
and
WHAT IS THAT ORANGE THING ALL ABOUT!!!!
I know modding cars is a personal opinion type of thing but that is a mingin car, what has he done to his poor wee mini one
I have looked into this, then I saw the price, gasped and looked away again!!!:eek:Quote:

Got it Got it :D
No bad but that orange thing yeugh :dead: waste of money and a car.:(
Still reading it though, good to have a mag for dedicated to the MINI.
Fontal
Just got my copy. Last one in shop! That orange monster should be pushed off a cliff. With the owner in it...
Got mine at Borders at the Fort.
Just had a quick flick but had to put it down as I felt sick after seeing that guffin' orange thing:disapprove: Some folk have more money then sense - but then that's just my opinion :p

it tells you about the air suspension!!
Yeah, that was the one I was looking into, cheers!!;) Actually starting to seriously think about it now!!:eek::clown:
Any of you remember the VW Golf advert where one of them is sitting crying after some ned totally ruined it? You just know the Orange one is doing the same. :(
Ken - you can get a copy at Borders in Kinnaird Park - there seems to be quite a few specialist car mags there (if you can get parked!).
Generally I thought the mag was good - focussing on all the models in the range. I think though the format although good is a bit Max Power and am not sure how long you can sell a mag with a focus on mods. I think it would be good to have some content on the lifestyle aspect - various trips, e.g a Europe run, and son on. The Pacific Coast Highway article was good and more stuff like that would make me buy it again.
Thanks Steve74, I got it at Borders at the Fort.
Parked out on the road - I am scared of carparks!!!
Just back from a long weekend away and had time to read the mag properly - actually pretty good :D . except the orange ****** :eek:
Re: the F**KING orange thing...it just goes to prove the old addage...money can't buy you taste! YUCK! A Cooper S Challenge car actually passed me on the M9 a week back
Yet again they have excelled themselves in managing to avoid mentioning NMS once again. Even MINI2Mini got a footnote!
Bombard them with emails and piccys!
Re the orange nightmare!
In the main pic if you look at the side skirts they look like they've be filled/ sanded/ painted by a blind man! All lumps and bumps!
I wondered what all the fuss was about the 'orange' MINI.
Then I bought the magazine and read it - isn't there a law against doing things like that to a car??? If it had been the April issue then you would think it was some kind of joke.
Can we maybe get the guy on a MINI run. Then we could arrange to meet him at a KFC and see how many wheels he damages..... ;)
It is all down to taste, but I love the pure. ie Willie's or Vosh's class examples.:cool: Or well done specials like Baby B:D, but that orange thing. Trash:(:disapprove: IMO
:IAwww shucks, cheers!!!Quote:

p.s. anyone who gets stuck in the snow, give me a shout and I'll come and clear a path for you!!!!;)
Hey Julz - that reminds me of that classic simpsons episode when Homer buys a SUV and becomes "Mr Plough" when it snows and makes a fortune!
You could be Mrs Plough! LOL! :D
;):D
:DDo I get a hat that says Mrs. Plough???:p
<clamps hand over mouth> Must...resist...innuendo...
<WHACK!!> :blackeye::blackeye: Evil Col, bad Col :evil:
<winces> <looks ashamed> Sorry.
:mad:Cheers Willie, Col, you bad, bad man, go and get a brain irrigation!!:approve:
<squirms> Soz again. Seems my good taste indicator was absent for a mo. No offence intended. :(
Has any one looked at any of the BMW mag's that Orange thing is in them too, sooo much fuss for a such a mess of a wagon!! :mad:
i wouldn't wish that orange thing on anyone. whoever designed the bodykit should be ritualy beaten with a classic mini bumper...
My mate just arrived out on the rig today and he brought me my copy of the magazine, not knowing what you peeps were saying about the orange car i had to wait until i saw it myself, hmm, not exactly my cup of tea but the guy must have spent a fortune on it
Right, just read the mag from front to back, hmm, reading some of the articles i felt they were a tad too long, half way through and i found myself skimming through he words for the end and any interesting points.
Although my car should appear in the next issue i'm not convinced the mag will be able to have owners car as the main feature except mine of course ;) every issue.
I found the question section was cleverly used to, er, um, coincide with a few articles covered in the issue.
Ah well, looking forward to the next issue :p i'm sure it'll be a bestseller :cool:
