Minitrucker Custom Plates
With your help we've covered almost every state in the country and have even added cool plates from around the globe. What we'll be doing next is posting all of the plates online at Minitruckinweb.com where everyone can go and vote for their favorite plates. The winners will receive a custom Mini Truckin' plate of their very own! A BIG thanks goes out to everyone who supported the contest and our collection. If you have any last-chance custom plate donations, email Mini.truckin@sorc to be entered into the contest! Be on the lookout for the polls and results over the next few months.
Mini Truckin' Editor Change
As you may or may not have heard (and or read), Mike Alexander has accepted a new position and will be moving on. He will still be around helping out here and there on the mag, but John Mata Jr. will be taking over as the new editor in chief of Mini Truckin'. John brings with him a love and passion for minitrucks and customs and is no stranger to the hard work that it takes to run a magazine. Please join us in welcoming John to the mag and show him the same love and support that you gave Mike over the years. There won't be too many changes as we'll still be focused on putting out the ONLY magazine on the shelves FOR minitruckers BY minitruckers, but 2011 will bring some fresh new ideas and we hope to bring you more of what you crave the most: the hottest minitruck action and the baddest trucks around the world. Stay tuned, we're just warming up!
