Was it an order or on 'general sale'. Might even make it worth accompanying Mrs K for tomorrow's 'big shop' 🤔

For the record in case anyone stumbles across a copy (I guess its still in the shops) my cup of tea hadn't even got to drinking temperature before I was done cover to cover ☹
There's noticeably less about the Mk8 than the others... I mean why have no buyers guide when its all the 3yr old Mk8's that are hitting the second hand market now?
Basically if you're a Mk8 owner, if mods leave you flaccid and if reading about what folk with limitless funds and equally imitless self congratulation have done to their car doesn't appeal, its probably not worth it.
It came over to me as less of a commemoration of the Fiesta ST as a ghost written piece for the aftermarket tuning companies.
Still, it can sit with the log book/document pack for my car's next owner to flick through once I'm dead.

The cynic in me @coilkat would say the reason the Mk8 is featured so little is that the 'sponsors' of the publication have many more lines in aftermarket add-ons for the 6&7 than they do for the 8 currently.
Its so blatantly directing readers in the direction of mod shops, and far fewer 8's are in the post PCP/post warranty phase at which point owners, rightly, can become more confident about 'molesting' them.
And as 'the cynic in me' comprises about 99% of my body mass (my left little toe is a bit more open minded) I'm probably about right 😄
