Most liked posts in thread: MC2 magazine out of business?

Good to know. I searched for it last time on B&N, and it wasn't there, if it's on Itunes I'll get it for the ipad.

 

All kinds of independent niche magazines are have a hard time of it. A lot have gone away.

 

I talked to Barry last week, so I highly doubt there's anything to their demise. I'm working on a story for them now and honestly, Barry stays pretty busy. Getting a return email is pretty tough sometimes. I can imagine getting a call back would be even more difficult.

 

Want me to hear from Barry, say something bad about him or the magazine on M/A. Within hours I get an email on how poorly I run this site by letting others say disparaging things and how I should censor people.

 

Well at least now we know he reads M/A.....!

 

Actually he doesn't. The email to mail indicated that people had called him about the post here. The username Barry has for M/A has not logged in since 3/11/11, that would be over 2 years ago.

 

:eek6::crazy: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............perhaps in trying to help..............I only caused the **** pot to be stirred.:blush2: Oh Well, drive on soldier.:lol::lol:

Mr. Montague has wise words of wisdom!

Life is too short to be mad at people.... " bury the hatchet guys and drive on"

 

Or.....or just drive on!

 

Got the e-mail as well. Here it is.

Evening everyone,

Just wanted to inform everyone that we - finally- have issue #42 in the mail today (Friday) 22nd) and Monday (25th) to all US subscribers. The rest of the planet is a few days later as freight to the international depot takes 3-4 days.

I am personally sorry for this late shipping, but I am confident that you'll be happier with more, and unique content. We've a very exclusive 4-page photos layout on the MINI backflip (we are the only media to to have access to the inventory of photos above the 4 photos that MINI sent out to all media outlets), we have a unique view of the New Zealand doggies driving, an exclusive story of the AC Schnitzer Raptor, and exclusive story of Heritage Garage's classic Mini adventure on the PanAmericana or LaCarrera race in Mexico, and the exclusive on a unique MINI and trailer owned by Susan Sigmon. (Thanks for a forum starting a rumor that we were going under. It's truly sad that no one uses the phone to check their supposed facts these days! )

Next issue (#43) is in the process with all available info on the DuelL AG N. America start-up in Silicon Valley, as well as AC Schnitzer's showroom in Irvine, CA. We are working on a how-to with Snow Performance on their new MINI alcohol/water injection system (complete with dyno charts, figures), a unique short shiter install from TyrolSport (NY City area), Duell's BBK kit install on our Project Clubman, all about shocks/struts tech, new audio section start-up, and a few other details.

Next week we debut our www.minicoopervideos.com site using VimeoPro with two exclusive Countryman backflip videos, Doggie Driving Countryman, our very first video created for us by our UK Editor of Chris Atkinson of WRC MINI driving fame, and maybe 2-3 others that have not yet been seen. Then comes our news/info site, followed by a BIG surprise.

BTW, our MC2 oil catch can starts shipping next week! It's in our General Store at MC2 Magazine for the MINI Cooper Owner

If you're to be at the Dragon, and have a well-modified MINI that is feature worthy, then we want to know about it NOW PLEASE. We're looking for features. Change the subject in a reply e-mail to me with "feature MINI" , and send me 2-3 low-res photos and basic info with contacts.

Happy motoring...


Barry

Thank you Welsh Man for putting it so succinctly.

 

.....exactly.

 

There's an MC2 magazine? :eek6:

 

I thought MC2 was marginal, but I read it because it was free from my dealer. Now they DON'T even carry it any more. :lol:

They kinda lost me when they editorialized about GM buying into PSA. They thought that would allow MINI to start using GM USA V6 engines and how wonderful that would be (I don't know why they didn't just go ahead say the LS series V8s would be coming, too).

Meanwhile in the real world, MINI/BMW moves to 3 cylinder engines for A/B Class cars.

But MC2 is nice and shiny!

 

I don't have a real interest in the Peugeot saga, but I'd be a bit leary of the potential to be recipient of a Dongfeng. Sounds like it'd hurt... Not even a Frenchman needs that.

Just say'n...

 

On the cover? That's really bad!
