To me Mini Mag seems to be aimed a bit more towards the petrol head end of the scene, where as Mini World is a bit tamer, probably appeals to female owners a lot more than Mini Mag does and quite frankly I find it a bit nerdy. Also Mini Mag's Keith Calver always seems way more knowledgeable on all things Mini, than that Tim Mundy bloke who does the technical section in Mini World.

So for me it has to be Mini Mag, but I agree with Blacktulip, in that I hardly ever buy that anymore because TMF offers far more than a mag ever could.

Having been subscribed to both in the past, I found that MiniWorld featured a far greater number of standard minis that were concourse spec and fully original. Mini mag, as said above, in my opinion is far more geared to the petrol head and contains more of the outrageous minis with big engines that are speed-orientated.

Of course both magazines contain both of these types, I just felt that on average they were aimed in these respective directions

P.s I am now subscribed only to Mini Mag for these reasons

Personally i used to get both every month. now i tend to alter from month to month depending on the feature cars in it. though id say id prefer mini world just because there was few photo's of my car in it a few months back haha

I just buy them whenever there's a shot of me in it :lol:
I think they are both pretty good though. MiniWorld is fairly straightforward, Mini mag seems to do a bit more scene stuff in it's pages.
