I get:
Mini Experience, $9.95, aussie, Quarterly, best there is! 8) 8)
Mini world, $9.95, UK, monthly, Not a bad read.
Mini Magazine, $13.95, uk, Monthly, Pretty damn good, still worth the price IMHO.

Most newsagents will get them in if you ask.

Cheers

Matt

Mini Magazine and Miniworld are okay magazines, I bought them a while. They make for interesting reading, and you get some ideas but a little same-ish after a while. The tech articles can be handy - I cut them out and recycled the rest of the mags, although a lot of the information can be had from the web or Haynes manuals, i.e. it's an expensive way to get that information.

I prefer Practical Classics (also a UK mag) as it's not specific to Minis and more readable for that.

i've gotten tired of miniworld, i got a yearly subscription but all i do now is look at the pictures and read the odd add in. i go for the min experience, where i can brush up on history and learn how to look after molly aswell as read about aussie events and aussie minis.

all aussie

I bought last months MiniWorld, but I haven't bought one in a year before that, becasue they got to boring, all the cars seem to be the same. 1380 Rover, again and again. The Brits obviosuly have tons of mini so it's hard to find super special ones out of the hundreds of 9/10 ones. Also I'm more into the more classic minis, eg. MK1 and 2 and Clubman, not really into Rovers.

In the last 12 months I have only bought Mini World or Mini Magazine if they have an article that really interests me. (eg: Moke, Traveller, interesting conversion, great tech article)

I subscribe to Mini Experience and really enjoy that one. Best of the dedicated Mini mags IMHO.

I'm with Angusdog - Practical Classics is great if your interests stretch beyond Minis. It does have Minis in it every so often. :)
