I started a subscription to this British magazine about 6 months ago... basically all about classic Mini's, rallys, meets, and enthusiasts. It's a good read!

Back then there was hardly a mention of the new MINI. (and the mentioning was quite derogatory!)

In recent issues however, there have been usually a couple of blurbs or one-paragraph items talking about new aftermarket parts for the MINI, modified MINIs, etc.. They had a small article about a Turbo'd MINI recently. I expect we'll see more coverage before too long.

Most interesting is that a good number of the advertisers (who all sell parts for Mini's) have begun listing items for the new MINI now.

Anyway, I think there ought to be a MINI magazine... :smile: check this one out in the meantime.

I wish there was a magazine specifically for the new MINI. It's mentioned plenty in all the car magazines that my boyfriend and I subscribe to.....but I think it would be really cool to have a magazine that is just for new MINI enthusiasts.

I would DEFINITELY subscribe to it.....heck I am in print media....I would want to work there!

 

That would be nice. I got used to getting the Miata magazine
and now I just have to scower other car mags to get brief mentions
of the MINI.

 

Yeah!! I used to just pick up a car mag every now & then.

Now I'm reading: Sport Compact Car, Eurotuner, GrassRoots Motorsports, and MiniWorld regularly and miscellaneous others.

 

We are subscribed to all of those (except MiniWorld) and we get VW Vortex also because my boyfriend's brother is a photographer for them........

Gap in the market???
I would buy it.

 

Give it some time, Mini World will have more and more on the New MINI. After all production on the Classic Mini stopped two years ago. I'v been a subscriber to Mini World and Mini Magazine for some time and as more things develope with the New MINI they will publish it. Since these mags are published in the UK, must be tough to keep the Classic Mini folk happy and cover the New MINI extensively at the same time. John Cooper Works manages to keep one foot in the Classic and one foot in the New MINI, so will the Mini publications.
