Now thats what I wanted to see, the vid in the KS pledge page doesn't do it much justice.
Great news! I'll get on the new demo right away

Surprised no one has mentioned this since last year, release date is tomorrow on Steam!
This video gives a good overview of it, looking very cool shame they haven't added cabin view yet though (they plan to). Apparently the demo was easily moddable so there's that to look forward to as well!

Steam sale maybe?

Certainly was, someone I know on Facebook posted up a screenshot of his. He'd only gone and put in a diesel train in it. Hilarious seeing that trying to get up a hill.
(Protip: It didn't.)

This looks amazing!!! The water and mud physics need to be refined, but it's beautiful!!!

Hope they will give us a normal camera in the full game, the annoying swinging camera in the demo was horrible.

Was really interested in this but not sure if worth 19.99. Will it keep me interested or just be a novelty like the demo for a few hours?
Ok little review time now:
The steering is quite sluggish but mainly with the bigger trucks, wheel turning takes a little while and going quite fast and then trying to turn is almost impossible.
Graphic wise is very very good, the deformation and water have definitely improved since the tech demo and have had no slow downs so far.
Maps, five maps so far. Volcano, River, Plains, Coast and The Hill. All giving a unique set of challenges. You can place waypoint to follow to unlock the "clearing" of the map as well as stuck vehicles and garages etc.
The sounds are very beefy to be blunt with the description. Most sound like an old beat up truck starting for the first time in 20 years but they are not too slow, even with a trailer.
I will follow up a bit later but for now have a screenshot of my current position
Spoilered just incase.

Seems expensive @ £20, to those who have bought it - is it worth it?

I've been enjoying it, I create my own challenges by towing other vehicles in silly places and just making it as difficult as possible. Difference is I'd consider myself a petrol head/car enthusiast so I'm always interested in games involving vehicles and realism, probably helps that I'm slowly getting in to off roading in real life too, so for me it's worth the £20.
