Some of the cars were amazing in that magazine, half of the stuff i didn't expect could turn out so nice. Also liked it as my brothers mate got his IMP on the front cover last year

Around us in the NW it's quite a common site in news agents and service stations. There is a little note in this months that says they have just agreed a deal with Asda to start selling it, and have expanded their agreement with Tesco to get it stocked in more of their stores.

Saw it in WHSmiths while reading MiniWorld and Mini Mag lol. Looks like a pretty good magazine, I may pick up a copy now next time for a proper read. Problem is magazines are proper expensive now!

agreed with that but i don't got a gadget to allow me to get the electronic copy lol

plus i always think it's better to have a proper mag to read than look at a screen.

I stopped buying mini magazines for retro cars, but then money became tight so stopped buying them altogether and just read it in the local library newsagents now
