Mini World every time, the first and best! Monty (the Editor) is a total Mini nut whereas Helen in MiniMag defected to the BINI Mag and only came back when it went bust!


And they are involved with the best weekends!! (Riv Run, L2B & Winter warmer)

I don't like either anymore, which is why I am starting a new 100% mini magazine.

I think they are lacking in any real substance or interest any more. I used to love Minimagazine, but it's dumbed down to a level at which a how to is how to do up 3 bolts to replace a seatbelt. Tragic.

Depends what cars are in which, then I would choose between the two.

Although usually I would buy Fast Ford or Performance Ford instead :(

I buy them both.

some of the tech articles are getting a bit simple.

i notice that they didn't torque the seatbelts in the minimag article either. (*dunno if you have to though...runs off to find haynes manual*)

Anyone eles find that MiniWorld has been having chavved up motors recently, toned down a little though thank god!

Mini mag has the immortal Keith Calver, and has a better spine(Miniworlds cover always comes off!). Although, if it's tech support you'rea fter, you might as well get a HBOL or Vizard's books.

Depends what you're after, I try and buy both if I can.
