Just echoing what's already been said really - but Mini World seems more lighter and casual, although I've picked up a few tips from it. However, i'll learn more from being on here.

Over £4 each loaded with pages of adverts. I just don't buy them these days.

I just read the Haynes again and again. :-)

A quick 10 mins read in Smiths each month saves the price of what are both pretty dull these days

The covers always fall off my miniworld magazines :mmkay:

At least mini magazine doesn't use those pesky staples!

i ended up deciding on mini mag. the only reason though, its glue bound and not stapled meaning you can get it soaked on your wet bathroom floor and it will dry out instead of fall apart.

I also used to buy both, but since joining the forum find it unnecessary to buy either unless there's a particular write up that I want to go through.

Subscription to Miniworld bought as a present from my wife - flick through Mini Mag in Easons and buy it if something interesting.
Landrover and caravan magazines also hit the door mat regularly, revealing my other "interests"

Any hints on how to store them.........would hate to dump mine but I'm rapidly running out of storage space and I rarely refer to back issues........shame all the back issues are not available on CD's or similar.

I buy the Minimag, bit only the months when there is an article that have written in it. Got the cheap miniworld subscription and its ok. Practical classics is the one I read from cover to cover every month.
