I was checking out the Monotune or whatever RS from the FF main page and It was featured in this Ford Performance Mag I never heard about. So I looked it up and its a UK mag with RS's and sweet Escourts and Fiesta ST etc. I guess im missing my little spo co Ford a bit so I was going to subscribe to the magazine till I noticed the $129 price tag for North America. Is it just me or is this a little high? Even for UK and Euro readers its like 40 Pounds I beleive.

Here's the link to there Site

They have them in the Magazine store at Pickering Town Center. I think they want $18 an issue there. I have family bring me over Fast Ford and Performance Ford from England whenever somebody comes over.

I can bring the issues I have to the next Masiv Meet if you like.

It's available as an iTunes app for $1.99

Ouch 18 bucks each thats pricey as for the app I don't think its the actual mag.

I know, everytime we go out there I try and spend as much time reading it as possible. That way I don't have to buy it. Although I am tempted MOST of the time.

Chapters sold them at one point I believe

anybody knows what RS 500 ran at Nurburgring track?

The new 2011 STI spec-C sedan just ran 7:55 there. I should post the video, it's crazy.

If the price per issue is $18 then the $128 is a pretty good deal if you want it that bad. The cheapest I can find is $8.58 USD each at amazon.com That's $108 a year.

And yes, I know that amazon.com doesn't "officially" accept magazine orders to Canadians but there are ways around it. I get Popular Science, Popular Mechanics delivered to my door for less than $10 a year instead of the $35-40 they want here. I also get Maxim for $13 a year and Esquire for free.

With the Canadian dollar at nearly par, it's outrageous what they want for magazine subs in Canada.
