Also-thanks swingmcs03! Is that in the ESPN mag or something else?

 

05 March Car and Driver

 

I'll slap my forehead and say D'Oh when you reply...but what's RS?

Peter

 

It's ok, I was gonna ask the same question

 

I read it as Rolling Stone but not sure since I don't subscribe...

 

Thanks all of you. Guess I'll be heading off to Barnes & Noble tonight... Looks like I have several magazines to purchase....

Sorry-yes it is Rolling Stone!!So go out and get it Peter, Meg and Donna!!!!!

James, did you get the message from swingmcs03 about the March 04 Car and Driver with the computers and PW MINI? Thanks again swingmcs03!

 

Thanks all! I actually went and found the issue of Spin that I just read a couple of days ago to search for the mini ad - I couldn't believe how I could have missed a mini ad. But it turns out that it was the Jan issue. :smile:

 

Annes, James and everyone else,

Annes typed '04 instead of '05 (I still do it, too). The ad is in the '05 Car and Driver. Just clarifying.

 

Ahhhhhhh..............

Thanks for the correction!

 

D'Oh!

 

Just got back from picking up Car and Driver, National Geographic and Spin...this is getting to be expensive. $15 each week on magazines I don't even read

The march RS wasn't out yet, they still had the Feb issue out.

Ditto... We found Spin but that's all. My parents get National Geographic so we're waiting for their copy. Couldn't find March Car & Driver anywhere yet. That's one of the car magazines we don't get as a subscription. Still a few places to check later today....our kids now think we are REALLY nuts....

Donna

 

Meg-It IS the Feb. 10 issue of Rolling Stone which has Johnny Depp on the cover. The MINI ad is on the back cover-

And Donna-I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who is "crazy" about the MINI stuff. I don't have kids but my husband and friends are wondering if this "craziness" is only me!!

 

If I can ever get it straight which ads are in which magazines and issues, I'll add them the the list. :smile:

If you really want to help me out, list your find with the magazine name, issue, and page numbers. Thanks!

Here's a little secret: I have moved the list from MINIS OF ORLANDO to my new site (under construction) at http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html. Don't tell anyone, this is just between us.

James

 

James has done a terrific job with the new site and you all should check it out !!! It's super and will really help with the "hunting"!!

 

WOWEE James! That is AWESOME........you did a fantastic job. Now I feel as if I have NOTHING in MY collection - LOL!!!

The 6 months or so we were out of the loop due to our move really did me in... I have A LOT of hunting to do...

It is great isn't it?!!! I have a worn copy of the Hunter's Guide that I printed out and keep with me in the car so that I can check the ones that I've highlighted to see quickly if there is an ad that I'm missing- very helpful!!

 

Thanks! Under the link to the Hunter's Guide is a new link to MINI-Related Ads. It has just four at the moment including the Playboy "How-To" and the Weekly World News Bat Boy story.

I'll update all of the lists this week.

James

 

My Dad gave me a stack of his old Cycle World to go through in search of MINI ads. Found the following (even though they are from older versions, I figured this would be beneficial for the Hunters Guide).
Always open-question authority/support state troopers ad in the December 2004, page 15.

This comic containing a MINI, January 2005 page 106

 

Review of the MINI convertible in the January 21st issue of the Wall Street Journal in the Drive Buys column.

 

page 105. No ads, though.

 

Ok so maybe not new finds.... but they are to me :smile:


From my diecast trading buddies in the UK

2004 Media Guide for the Geneva show:




And the UK's version of the Accessories catalog, with some neat post-it style stickers:




Oh, and I just picked up some snow tires from a guy with Car and Driver. Seems they are off a particular long term test vehicle they had/have, anyone want pictures? Don't think they will fit in the MINI-Room!

 

"LET'S ALWAYS BE OPEN. Let's be pacifists..." Convertible ad with 2 bumper stickers on a CR Convertible. Outside magazine, February 2005, page 33.

James

 

Oops. I just realized Ann had already posted the Outside issue.

No ads in the Jan. 17 and Jan 24 & 31 issues of The New Yorker.

I've updated the list with all of the ads I am aware of. You can find it at http://www.libraryofmotoring.info/miniprintads.html.
