I own a dog and love him to bits, but I'd rather read about Minis in a Mini mag.

Frankie Boyle for PM nevermind editor of a mini mag.

They were both gash, the mags that is, and only worth buying for the trading and for sale bits in the back.
standard of writing had declined to MAX S****ER and FART CAR levels, there are plenty of "proper" magazines to read and i dont mean Readers Wives and Razzle.

try EVO, Octane, PPC, Practical Classics for proper researched journalism and not just brown nosing.

some people actually do care, and on subjects like "the mini" incorrect information can actually lead to a chinese whisper effect and before long "the truth" is actually far from it. ever heard of the mini mayfair limited edition ????? :)

please dont make me resurrect my "importance of correct information topic" again :wub:


PS: i must add, that if anyone does resurrect the above thread, the guys from mini magazine have already put forward a solid argument for the errors, printed a link to the corrections and promised to get all future guides verified by an "expert". Top guys ;)
