That is actually a great idea to start publishing that again.  I bet the Miniology guys would be all over that for example.

Wish we all had 2 more hours in a day...

Don ought to scan those mags and post them as features here. Another way to bring in Mini traffic!

I have all of the issues safely stowed away...somewhere!

I thought it was a good venture.  Talk to Dennis about a reboot, he seemed to be the driving (or at least writing) source!

It was a beautiful Mini Magazine!!! The colors were awesome. I wish Dennis could somehow start publishing it again. I can only imagine the work it must take for such an undertaking. I still have all my old copies in mint condition back on the Mainland in a cardboard box hidden in my Mum's attic. No offense taken Minerva, but 'Mini Mania's' Mini Mag. 'AMERICAN MINI' was second to none to any of the Mini mags in the UK or anywhere else! Dennis Racine rocked that publication! Hey Dennis, any chance you could put together a single 'Limited Edition Issue'??? What if you had an overwhelming vote to do just that? Would creating a Poll for your Customers be OK with you? Just a thought. Hey! I just noticed the old photo of me on the fridge posing with my surfboard next to my '67 Mini Woody on the Oregon Coast. I'm wearing my 'AMERICAN MINI' tee shirt that I won from 'Mini Mania' from a winning photo submission!!! Small world! Aloha!                   Mini Estate

P.S. I believe my very first Mini, a 1962 Austin Countryman Woody Wagon in 'Surf Blue' was on the back cover of one of the issues??? (same photo that appears in the 2014 MM Calendar?)

That is most likely why it didn't last. But it was published by the sponsors of this forum so I thought it would be of intrest in this 40th anniversary year.

For some reason (& no offence intended to US Mini owners) having a US Mini mag is like having the Brits make a US hamburger. I have eaten British hamburgers....last time was back in 1973 in Liverpool....and my gastro specialist tells me the treatments are finally winning the battle in my lower intestine and I can consider myself in full remission!Tongue Out
