News from MC2 Magazine

MC2 Magazine just sent out a “press release” - well, it’s also a bit of a sales pitch, so I’ll miss that bit out and just include the important stuff ;) As you know, the MTTS tour is coming fast. When we were approached by MINI some months ago we made a commitment that we’ve been unable to speak of until of late. Both Gary and I will be on the entire route, from Monterey to Lime Rock.
By midnight every day our commitment is to load our Daily Journal into the MINI USA/MTTS site, with an additional amount of coverage available from our MC2 website. This will be several hundred words and a dozen or so photos, maybe more if time permits. We believe we’re the only journalists/magazine to provide this level of service!

Also of interest to everyone is that we have been invited to test the first prototypes of the 2007 MCS. We are delaying the shipping of issue #4 by two weeks and moving fast to have this world’s-first coverage into issue #4 available at Monterey August 16 and in your mailbox by month’s end. There will be just six magazines on this test, so we’re very happy and honored!

We will follow this major editorial with another one in issue #5 with our test of the actual MCS 2007 model that will be shown to a selected list of US journalists in September.

    So everyone will be picking up a copy to read about the 2007 MINI…and MINIsOnTop. :)

    Is subscription still the only way to get this, or are they at newstands or Borders or somewhere..?

    Gavin,
    Back in February, MC2 magazine said If you can wait, it will be onsale in Borders, Barnes and Noble, Chapters (Canada), and a number of specialty stores about two weeks after it goes out into the mail

    Gavin -

    My B&N has it in stock right now. You need to hunt through the rack of all the import tuner mags. Interestingly, it was placed right next to Grassroots Motorsports.
