Hello from Dubai

Hi everyone,

Just to introduce myself. I'm an expat Brit living in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (near Saudi Arabia). I take delivery of my F150 High Ranch next week so I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge from you guys.

Oh, and I'm also possibly your worst nightmare... a man who neither knows (nor frankly cares) how it all works and what goes on under the hood/bonnet. But then again I have that same attitude to beer and have always found her to be an accomodating mistress.

Cheers, Clive in Dubai.

Now that right there is funny.

Welcome Gashead to FTE!

Are you getting the Ford rebates in Dubai?

Thank you George. I don't even pay tax here so I sure as hell aren't getting any rebates!

Eh? How was I snappy?

The rebate comment was a joke... I actually don't even know what the 'rebates' are.
Laterz.
