Which magazine features MINI????

BMW has Bimmer, BMW Car, etc. VW has a load of magazines. European Car? Well, they cover anything Euro (Porsche, BMW, Audi, etc, etc.). There are LOADS of Turbo, and Fast n Furious magazines as well.

My question is; with all the MINI's out there, which monthly (or at least quarterly) magazine shows love to our beloved MINI Coopers????

I subscribe to MC2: The Mini Magazine. It will probably come up if you google "Mini Cooper magazine."

I found one at a Barnes and Nobels just by chance my eyes caught it, it's called "Modern MINI" and I love it! It's a British based mag, and here is the link: http://www.modernmini.co.uk/ .

I get MC2, too. My local Barnes and Noble carries a couple Mini mags, too. They're not cheap, though.

Modern MINI magazine costs l2 bucks plus change but a good mag. Only place I can find it is also Barnes and Noble. Usually the one near me will get maybe 5 or 6. They're on the shelf every other month. The next issue is due out here in the states in March (Mar-Apr issue) but I believe it can be purchased WELL in advance in the UK before it ever hits our shores.

Hey Ivan, I found the mag at the Kahala Mall B&N location, you know, by the Whole Foods down there. We got it just after we ordered my MINI so it was back in mid December that we bought it so I don't know if they still have any copies. But I can let you borrow it when we meet up if you'd like.

I picked up the latest Modern MINI mag yesterday and they featured a couple neat things on vinyl wrapping your MINI, including a "how to" chrome blackout!

I know that Barnes & Noble near UW in Seattle has them also picked them up at AutoZone in Middletown, NY.

I made it to the bookstore! I think I got the last copy.

How come when your looking at magazines there is always one idiot who has to stand in front of the car magazines and doesn't move.

Is such idiot so involved in the magazine he is looking at that he is oblivious to the world around him?

Yes, that's about right. I just visited the Modern MINI site and a Stateside subscription is 31.80 pounds. http://www.kelseyshop.co.uk/index.ph...product_id=209

I'm trying to get my hands on just ONE copy at the moment.

**** EDIT - I just ordered a single copy of Modern MINI online. Can't wait!!! Thanks again for the info Everyone!!

MC2 is a good mag, but here lately, every 3rd page is an ad for their stuff. Modern MINI is better for "reader's rides" articles. Basically, it's like a lot of car magazines. Different owners and how they've modded their MINI's. Good tech articles too. A bit more money, but well worth it in my opinion. I just resubscribed in fact. Don't ask the cost......

Ok, time to order another issue of Modern MINI and to see if I can also order an issue of MC2.....

No luck finding them at Barnes and Nobles in about 8 different locations around the NY, NJ, CT area. Amazingly I found lots of classic MINI magazines!

Forget about Barnes and Noble here in North Jersey, I can never find any Mini magazines. I think I'll pay the extra buck or pounds to have something good come in from the UK.
