Sat down to watch the DVD this evening. I was all set and looking forward to 'unseen' footage only to be sorely disappointed as I already have the exact same dvd since last Christmas!!!
My sis in law bought me a gift set of the dvd with a model Mini from Marks & Spencer so it would seem that MiniWorlds' exclusive dvd isn't quite that afterall!
On going through the magazine again, I must admit to being really disappointed at the huge amount of advertising pages in it.
At least one third of the mag is taken up with an, albeit good, MiniSpares catalogue not to mind the numerous other adverts.
I usually look forward to and enjoy the magazine each month but just like Irelands Eurovision entry last night, it's a thumbs down for this edition unfortunately

lads in the current climate, the ads are the only thing keeping miniworld and minimag alive, so go easy on them
and anyway, ads rock

The same thing happened me with the DVD but still a good read nonetheless.As Maxi said the ads are the only things keeping these mags going these days as people have cut back on luxuries but how many of us will flick through the minispares catalogue when we need to see if something is available or buy something from the other ads.It is all information to keep the minis going so unfortunate as ads are they helped pay for this mag.
