Hi Guys,

 

I`m looking to subscribe annually to a classic mini magazine for tips/info based on the classic/proper mini !

 

Obviously due to costs i will only sign up for 1 so the question is which is the best in your opinions and why please ? 

 

I hope i have put this in the right section  =]

Mini Magazine for the more techy stuff and everyday Minis. Mini World for the more concourse-style Minis and early L2B tickets.

I would suggest you try both for a couple of months before you subscribe. Its really down to personal choice and no one can advise you on that. I had a real issue with miniworld about 10 year ago when they were featuring dog of the month on a regular basis ???? I get the impression the staff think the magazine belongs to them and they can print whatever they like. It also went through a stage where it looked like a 16 year olds gcse art project...quite naff. Mini mag for me simply because mini world have a lot of past mistakes to make up for !!!

No early tickets anymore for last couple of years as Miniworld no longer sponsor L2B......Minispares as the new sponsors now sell the tickets online.

 

Miniworld and Mini Magazine are both published by Kelsey........only seem to see Miniworld on sale in the shops these days?

That's probably because the stock of Mini Magazines has already sold out!

I think Mini Magazine is the most interesting of the 2. But everyone's different so try them both out!

If you have a tablet download magzter and get an electronic subscription! I have years of both mags in boxes but decided it was getting too much so now read via my iPad. Magzter was the only app I could find that I could subscribe to both, and the cost for both is about the same as buying one of them each month from the shops!

Mini Magazine for me. When I got my mini after a 10 year break I got both for a couple of months, and at the time mini mag did a how to weld series showing how to replace panels, just what I needed at the time. Great, in depth, tech features each month, which I have saved because I'm a saddo ha ha

They're both fairly *******. I wouldn't bother. You'ld be better off here or the Mini Mk 1 site!

Exactly what I was going to say, if you want lots of adverts and a few fancy photos go for the mags, if you want good advice quickly just look in here.
