Default Used Car Roadshow

Who seen the used car roadshow last night where they had a line up of all the ford RS cars from the past 20+ years, from the mk1 to the focus RS and everything in between?

They was raving about the cars as they was going through them 1 by 1, then got to the S2 they had there, and I cant remember the exact words but it was something like "ahh, the hideous mk4" hahaha! made me mad because thats what ive got, and the same color too! (grey). The one in the show had "Area Six" on the sunstrip, bonnet pins, white wheels (I think), anyone know who's it was ?

Yes I sore that last night.
They didn’t rate the MK5 RS well ever. Something about the engine being slow.
No need to worry about that with mine

Yeah they said summit like the MK5 RS2000 wasnt really a very good example of an RS, not very good stlying, and not very good engine ?

sorry to say boys that its my s2 that was on.

they did ask me the spec of the car but for some reason didn't belive what times it runs

still its one of the quickest s2's in the country so i'm not to bothered.

thing is the rs owners club came and asked me to put it in the line up as they said it was the best s2 their and i won a trophy later in the day

i've not seen the program yet.
