Hypothetically - if you were in charge of Mini Truckin' Magazine for a year, what would you do with it? You have the normal corporate restrictions, and can only hire one guy (or girl) to help you.

Well, if i was in charge of MINI TRUCKIN' then i would bring on Mike Alexander to do the stuff he is doing and i would jump on a plane and go from show to show, and  shop to shop getting stuff for the mag.

i would try and take 5 of the best shops and have a build off , for all the glory crown the shop king  . make it so they could get donations as for parts but nothing given to them  (as of money because come on were all broke its mini truckers)  to see what they were made of and only a 1 year time limit

I would cover as many shows as possible. Big or small they are all important. Do a special coverage each month for a different mini brand. This would be a way for all minitruckers to showcase their rides.

Get the magazine set up at most major shows and sign people up for subscriptions at the events.  Give away a few copies of old mags and some stickers and You will boost your subscription sales and maybe let people that wouldnt ordinarily get the chance to meet the people making thier favorite mag get that oppurtunity. I think it would be pretty cool to see a minitruckin booth set up at a few shows.

You guys have some great ideas! I soooo wish that we could make everything happen! There is sooo much potential, it's almost overwhelming. In an ideal world, we'd have the resources to make it all happen. Yall know how things have been recently, and it applies to the magazine too. PLEASE KEEP SHOWING YOUR SUPPORT BY BUYING THE MAGAZINE AND SUPPORTING THE SCENE!  

Hmmm, if I were editor, I think I'd focus on the "other" guys for a while - the ones who nobody's heard of, but build super sick rides in their sheds and barns.

I'd show old, restored minis, like the Toyotas that were at SEMA a few years ago. A stock flawless mini truck can certainly be appreciated. I'd also show restored, but customized, classic minis. Rad stuff!

It would take a huge budget and huge staff (including you) to support my mag, as we'd be traveling the world.
