As one of the lucky ones to qualify for the free subscription to the new MOG magazine, I was agreeably surprised to reeive the first issue today. It's a smaller format than most glossy car mags, roughly 10" by 7" (not quite A4) and just over 100 pages, but it is all Morgan in content, with a road test of the new Plus 8, a pictorial tour through the chassis build at MMC and an article on restoring a 1935 F2. I think there are moves to make it available through WH Smiths, so look out for it.

Got my copy this morning at my local filling station. Tried to subscribe on line but the web site advertised in the magazine doesn't exist yet. I then tried to do it by phone but they are not set up to take card payments by phone. Seems that more than the 3W is having development problems!

I tried WH Smith's in Malvern on the way back from work but no luck.

Paypal, if you have an account?
Send them an email and they'll send you a PayPal invoice...

Cheers,

Graham - I have reason to hate Paypal with a passion!

So have many!

Smiths in Beaconsfield had their deliveries today, Friday (£3.99) and poked 5 copies half hidden on the bottom shelf.

The staff there don't seem to know what new mags are 'in' and as the Mag is 3/4 size it is easily hidden.

My Round Britain Trip gets a nice airing

It does Frank. Hope it brings further donations

Have you noted the commments in the Shout Box re: your email account. I also had one, but knew you weren't in Madrid.

Cheers,

Thanks Graham, I had not noticed.
I assume only members here who I have been in direct email contact would have received the spam message?

Anyone in your email address list I think Frank.

Presume you use webmail? And have an address list logged on line?

You need to go to your account, change your logon password - to something secure preferably... And, inform your service provider.

Cheers,

Hi all,
as this new MogMag is not going to be available in Switzerland anytime soon, I would appreciate if a TM member could get a copy for me. Of course I pay for the magazine and shipping to Switzerland. Can offer PayPal or bank transfer. Please send me a PM. Thanks a lot!

Have you had anyone volunteer to help you with the mag yet ?

Hello Dean,
not yet.

If you don't mind waiting a few days until I finish reading mine...you can have it. Send me a PM with your address.

And after you have read it, Basilisk, you can pass it on to me for a few days

If you go to the magazine website www.mogmag.co.uk you can download a 'preview' of the first issue. You need to be patient as it seems to take a while, depending on your broadband speed.

I have finshed mine. I must say quite a good read.
It will be interesting if they can maintain the standard.

A test of the Plus E might be interesting...

Nawww.....I'll probably switch off then Graham.

happily will post a copy to you from here if it helps a nice clean unused one
please e mail me matti@mogmag.co.uk and will get sorted for you
best wishes

I picked up a copy in WH Smiths at Euston Station.

@mogmag:
Thank you very much. I appreciate your offer.
I have just sent you an email.

Courtesy of mogmag I have received a free copy of the first issue in the meantime.
Thanks a lot!

Has anyone tried Melvin Rutter’s magazine, Morgan World ? Is it any good?

In a word - YES!
I have every one. If you like more in the way of mechanical info. than you find in Miscellany, TMW has a better balance of articles. Some of those in Miscellany recently are a bit suspect...

Cheers,

Thanks Graham. I will give it a try. It’s good to have Mog Magazine and I will buy it, buts as reading matter it is very lightweight.

I also like MR's Morgan World - it has a nice mix of articles and tends to come out when there is sufficient content which is fine as the subscription is issue based rather than time based. I also like Miscellany and enjoyed the first issue of MOG Magazine. So far at least each title seems to complement the other with no undue overlap. I guess the more Morgan reading the better - all rounded off by the brilliant, wonderful ( and all other similar words) TM Forum of course, which is also an essential daily read.

More hours in the day are all that's needed.....

Regards,

John

Not quite true. The latest Miscellany has republished a previous MW article "Romanian Ramble", with all due acknowledgement.

I am happy to have all three publications though.

~iw

I also subscribe to Morgan World, but am not going to renew as since MR took over as Editor it is just too parochial and reads like an advertorial for MR Enterprises.

Hello out there!
Do anybody know how to subscribe for the Morgan Magazine. I wrote a mail to Matti, but no reply.
Ken in Sweden

Hi Ken the magazine says to email subscriptions@mogmag.co.uk

"and we'll take care of it all for you"

Thanks Wirewheel.
Ken.

I decided to cull my collection of Misc. this week, a mammoth task. I've kept fifteen copies which had articles of interest relating to mechanics or restoration. I've paid my subs since 1984 but that is it for me. I hate clutter and prefer books to magazines or newspapers. The internet is a great source of information and TM provides a good daily read and folks here are very helpful, witness my recent request for advice.

sorry ken have replied now just not on talk morgan enough
if anyone needs me please mail me matti@mogmag.co.uk

Had an email from Mog mag today ...Sent them my details so will wait and see what happens

Matti,

Can you explain the position for those who have recently bought new Mogs. It was suggested we would et a free subscription. Is this the case?

The new preview is now on their website

http://edition.pagesuite-professional.co...128fd&skip=

Had a glance through issue two today - looks good.
Waiting for my copy to drop on the doormat...

Cheers,

That's a very generous "preview" in the link you posted John +4, are you a subscriber by any chance?

My copy arrived on the doormat this morning, looks good again.

~iw

Can we please know what is happening as I don't want to subscribe and then find we have a free one; as promised?

I have mailed both my dealer and Matti but still no answer...maybe it is the other way around - subscribe to MOG get a Morgan

Ooh, that would be nice! Make mine in Rocket Red pleeese...

hello
yes new owners receive a free subscription for a year paid for by the factory who supply all details to us of who has collected or had a new car delivered
best wishes
matti

I guess this might not apply to 3 wheelers given the number of new owners still waiting. Cars in for a service in a few weeks I'll ask.

Out of interest has anyone had the build record through yet.

Yes I am a subscriber.
In Serbia right now so I am not sure if it has arrived.

hello everyone
subscription for new owners is both 3 and 4 wheelers just to clarify for you all
we have this week had an influx of information from the factory re new cars sold and will be dispatching issue 2 next week to all concerned with a letter
not long now till we are ready for issue 3 which does sound unbelievable
sales information from WH Smiths showing 19% increase in sales issue 1 to 2 which is fabulous news
Thanks to all of you for supporting MOG

Interesting to find that issue 2 was only available in larger branches of WHS, visited Leek in Staffs, 2 motorway service stations and Evesham, before managing to buy a copy in Oxford!

Guess the answer is to subscribe!

Malcolm T

Great news! I bought #1 at the factory tour (and being new to everything Morgan I found it very interesting) and will from now on wait at the pillar box for #2

I was pleased to find issue 2 in the Newbury WHS this lunchtime.

Issue #2 is on the shelves of WHSmith down here in my rural backwater. Perhaps the Staffs ones had already sold out.

~iw

Having made a special journey I asked on each occasion. Not sold out just not stocked!

Malcolm

mine is still with its initial purchaser, must try and get up there and collect it

happily help and post a copy to you for cover price
cheers

hello all,
we will be uploading a list of all stores in the UK where MOG will be sold in a weeks time. hope this helps but if anyone is struggling please get in touch and we will happily post a copy to you from the office for the cover price
hope you are all enjoying it and please feel free to pass on any comments you have
cheers
matti

I picked up a copy at one of the airports earlier in the week, as I've not seen it anywhere else.

Its a nice read somewhere between Miscellany and a life style magazine, it certainly kept me entertained for my flight to the northern waste lands.

If I don't end up with a complimentary subscription as the buyer of a new car I'll certainly put my hand in my pocket for a subscription.

My subscription with my new car purchase has started, the first copy arrived the other day.
