hi all, my mini is now very nearly ready to go back on the road (just got to refit interior and pass MOT August 1st) and i was thinking of getting it featured in the mini mag (and/or world)







i want to get it featured ASAP so my question is, when should i send off for consideration ? should i do it now or wait until it's on the road and i've past my test ?

Cheers

Rhys

I can't help you out with your question but that 30 looks great!

Unless you want the photo shoot on your drive I would pass your test first

Mine was photographed a couple of weeks ago for minimag but they contacted me through my build thread on another forum so not sure how you go about getting it featured have got a build thread on here?

I'm getting mine featured in Mini magazine, I just sent them a load of photos and the story behind the car and they said I will be in a future episode.
I doubt you would get a full page feature as the main Minis in there are always very special.
They told me I would be in the 'Your Minis' section
Hope this helps.

Dont think anyone would be interested pal. Well not until you clean that speck of dust under the wheel arch!

Why not contact them direct from the address in the mag. Good luck.

I had 2 of my minis in the your mini section once not a proper feature though so can't really help, but I'd wait till you are on the road

It's not something you choose to do. Take your car to shows and keep it looking like that and it may get noticed

I'd get your ride height sorted first

i sure do, "project cliff the cherry red thirty" on the first page of the complete mini rebuilds

i'd like this to be a full feature but your right, they usually are very special indeed...mine is special to me though did they tell you roughly which issue ? would like to see it

[Andrew O]

Yeah I would also love a full page feature but if I'm honest I know it won't happen.
They did not say what issue I would be in but to keep an eye out ?
So who knows

lol, i doubt it will stay this clean once it's on the road but i'll try my bestest i've seen the email adress but i was wandering when to contact them ?

which issue bud ? ok, i might do but i'm itching to get it featured somewhere

You need to contact Jon Betts and go from there. We did with Project Erm and had a three page spread in the On The Job section.

i want to take it to as many shows as possible, i just need to pass my test now although my dad could drive it to the show and i could pull up in it with my L plates

I'd get your ride height sorted first

i'd ideally like it a little lower but i don't have adjustable suspension but there is still some more weight to go in it yet and the tank is nearly completely empty so it might drop a little bit yet
