COOL! i see even NMS is already there on the links page too! :)
This is good news! It's from the same publishers as Mini Mag. Nice to see someone has had the guts to go for it! I foresee lots of NMS and MINI2 antics getting coverage. :D
cool,can't wait:).
yeah me either...
Stopping of at the garage to place my order tonight.
Looks good!
Great news!! Especially since Mini world have sat on the fence for so long. Why did it take publishers so long to realise they had to back the new mini, to give their advertisers / after sales suppliers a growing market as a target. Look forward to the first copy.
Julz, is this the mag Baby B is going to be a "centre fold" in?
Not yet!!! Naw, the magazine she is to be on the front cover of is called 'The Fast and Modified' and isn't out til february!!:clown:Quote:

Great to see a New Mini mag but I hope this is not a sign of the mini scene splitting into two camps. This is just what the new mini haters want.
Anyone else tried to send them some pics?
Mine bounced back twice today...
hmmmm...
Julz will your Baby fit on the front or will it be one of these phots that raps around the whole cover? :D
As the donkey from Shrek likes to say "I like Big Butts and I can not Lie!"

("Your donkey can talk??", "Yeah, it's getting him to shutup that's the trick!":clown:)
Jus twhat we need, i saw an ad for it in Mini magazine at the weekend.
looking forward to the 1st issue
I think its a shame that there is a separate magazine.
It will encourage the stupidity that has been going on South of the border at shows and stuff.
I presume this means also that Mini mag will become Classic Mini only?
Rob - i understand what you mean but as the popularity of the MINI grows the combined mag would become too big to keep at a reasonable price where both types of owner would end up coughing out £5+ per issue to probably only read half the magazine - then you'd get each side moaning about this - stopping their subscriptions and ultimately killing the mag off altogether:(
I reckon each mag should still pay homage to each other in someway to keep the silliness at bay!
I think the new car needs a mag as there is very little about them in the traditional mini magazines, you only really get a few wee articles here and there.
However I understand where ur coming from Rob
Still looking forward to the mag though :D
Agree with you to an extent Rob, wouldn't like to see anything perpetuate the Mini / MINI bigotry. I think you're right about Mini Mag staying as a classic magazine, this months issue has next to nothing about new MINI in it. Looks like they're gearing up for the switchover to the new mag.
I'm afraid that, for me anyway, Mini World (despite doing some reasonable features on the new car) have only continued to fan the embers by consistently publishing some very inflammatory letters within their pages. I would have though an impartial editor would have had a bit more sense. :mad:
<jumps down from his high horse>.... I'll get my coat :I
I would have thought the existing mini magazines could make room for more articles on the new mini by reducing the amount of classic minis featured - they are often so similar anyway and this month both mini mag and miniworld featured the same classic mini! (it did have new mini rear lights ;)).
I also don't like the way they keep refering to the "BMW" mini - no one talks about "Ford" Landrovers or "Ford" Aston Martins (which are also British motoring icons with a long heritage).
Not that I have anything against BMW (make great cars) or the classic mini (I own one!)
What do others think?
Ok.. My turn... <Rant mode ON>
Just a couple of questions really...
You don't see Classic Mini owners arguing and turning up their noses (or making rude gestures on the road) to other Classic Mini owners do you? Even when some of them are Austins, some are Morris, Some are BL some are Rovers... and latterly even newer Sportspacks were technically BMWs too... They don't bitch about that....do they?
I got shot down big time in a Classic Mini Forum for asking these questions (put in a very polite manner - with the disclaimer that I was only looking for opinions, not an argument) - My thread was deleted after a day and a half, and one very rude remark... hmmmm
I even stated the fact that I've had numerous Classics in the past - including my Pick up, Clubby etc..
But suddenly it was 'blinkers on, avoid eye contact'...
Ok... I think that's enough for now.. I'm going to put the lights off and have a lie down... or maybe just hit the Student's Union....
hmmm... anyone fancy a beer??? ;);)
<rant Mode OFF>
Hope y'all are having a fine Friday :D:D;)
jist got issue 1 of go mini from WH SMITHS, not read it but nothing about NMS, MINI2 is in it.:)
Woo-Hoo! Guess where i'm off to on the way home!?
<no smart answers required!>
Great, I'll try and get it tomorrow. Didn't think it was out till 27th.
Well - the WHSMith at th gyle never had Go Mini in yet :(
Ken - the website says the 27th is the date of issue - maybe certain shops got theirs early!
yes the web site did say 27th, but the inverness whsmiths had it.
Got Mine!
WH Smiths in Dundee has it!!
Hope it gets a bit thicker for £3.80 tho!!!! ;):D
Got mine aswell... in RS McColls. As Seany mentioned..not a peep about NMS. However I KNOW that is about to change....that's all I'm saying just now :) :D
A few well known MINI2 faces got themselves in there...Dora, Clare and Dinka..all of whom are registered members here so we got in ...kinda...well not really at all
I am glad to hear that NMS is going to be in it.
Got mine, got mine :D Just had a quick flick through, will study it tonight.

TO anyone who's got it, is it any good?
Very high quality mag with excellent photography and one Richard Hammond as the staff writer! Nice accessories section and group tests of modded S's and a big feature on some serious ICE. Willie...this magazine could seriously damge your wealth!
As is usual with new publications it remains to be seen if the quality can be maintained.
Yes, as today is the offical launch date!! Go buy it now!!:DQuote:
