1500th post!


Well-well, another milestone reached - this is my 1,500th article here in Maximum Mini. I hope you still enjoy it.

If you can handle more Maximum Mini from my hand you can read this month's MiniWorld magazine with a comprehensive report on Mini based fire engines from all corners of the world, from the UK to The Netherlands and Denmark to even the USA and Australia. Or go for this month's Classic & Sports Car magazine, which has a 6-page feature on how a rather amazing Mini advertisement film was made in central Amsterdam back in 1975, with interviews from the people involved who explain how exactly they did it. Buy those mags to keep me going.
One more little piece of news: work has started on a new Maximum Mini book. Don't hold your breath as this one is going to take an awful lot of work, but then it's going to be something quite special.

Meanwhile, keep those questions, messages and snippets coming as well as these will secure this little corner of the world wide web to continue for years to come.

  1. Well done Jeroen! I've read the mini fire engine article, it is very fascinating. I want one now :-) The Australian Moke's look to be very heavily loaded, I wouldn't want to take a corner at speed in one.
