Talking funny idea...

Since everyone on this forum is so close knit we should start like a Ford truck "signal". For example everytime another ford truck is coming down the road we can turn on the hazards or tap the horn a certain amount of times or something. Before you know it, it will be nationwide! The Chevy and Dodge guys will run and try to imitate as usual.

Maybe I have too much time on my hands...

haha I think that's a grand idea, every time I see a Ford I say to myself "Self, I wonder if that guy is a member over there at FTE?"

Fingers, and guns.

Although, you wouldn't get an accurate account, between confusing people and lurkers.

For some reason, we can spot our guys a mile away. I think the Nwst Chapter is trying to bring new meaning to the phrase "Got lift?"

Well I think I am "flying solo" for Australian FTE members.
Where my farm is I could drive all day on the road and not see another vehicle, let alone a Ford truck or an FTE member.
