Default Mk1 Focus RS - Preston?

Anyone off here? Saw today going into Preston town centre, something dribbling from underneath.

I stopped and told them at traffic lights but whether he believed me or not I dunno. Might have done if I wasn't in girlfriends old fiesta.

Had a blonde bird with him, think reg was F33 FRS or summat like that.

Anyway there was genuinely something dribbling and a bit of smoke I could see from behind so if you haven't checked you may well overheat shortly.

Rg could have been different but definitely FRS on the end.

Haven't seen it myself tbh. Figured was worth mentioning since they don't have temp gauge. Though the guy probably thought I was going to give him abuse cause he was reluctant to drop his window at the lights.

God knows if he checked but he took off at a fair rate.

I have seen this before. Was quite dirty when I saw it, and had a sutty exhaust. Sounded good though

As there are about 60 from 1992 left in the uk I don't think common as muck is fair!

we seem to be the Cinderella of the RS fraternity any way! They were, and still are hugely fun cars... I got to have a bit of fun on Saturday with mine, the driver of a Honda Civic was suitably embarrassed & surprised, but it was his own fault for dumping the clutch when revving the nuts off his engine... more of a challenge is nice!

Got loads of attention when ambling about too! - only every one said "wow that is a mint XR2" - can't have everything!
