Nowhere near as cool as some of the rides you guys and gals are into, but this is my new daily run-about.

I had to wait a couple of months for this colour, which doesn't look great in a blackberry photo, but I will try and take some nicer piccies at the weekend.

So far I am very happy, lots of performance, feels really well built, and corners a lot better than the Wrangler! Can't wait for it to get to 1,000km so I can open it up a little.

Cheers

List price is 99k, but I managed to get a bit of discount, extended warranty and free insurance, so I think it definitely ticks the 'bargain' box. Compared to the UK price, you would be lucky to get in a 1.0l Focus for the same money!

That is very nice, perfect colour. They do go well, don't they. Once had a little play with one in the jag.

Thanks chaps, yes definitely the best colour, really sets it off.

Had a great weekend taking the kids out in it - they all approve 100% but I guess they would after being stuck in the back of my Jeep with the roof off for the last year.

Tucked up safely now while I visit Iraq for a few days - oh joy.

Cheers

Time has come for me to move back to the UK, so my Focus ST and Expedition are up for sale.

Is there anything to stop me putting a sign in the car's window? I seem to recall they don't want you to do that in Dubai, but I hope I am wrong!

If anyone knows of anyone interested in either car, I would be grateful for any leads. Both going for around AED75k (each!).

Cheers

I've seen for sale signs in cars, prepare for a lot of 'last price' phonecalls though I'd imagine!

What's the mileage on the Focus?

Edit - Simple google via your profile is how Shirt found you, a mate's wife is a colleague of yours also

Assume it is this one? - http://tnydu.biz/DOrN2x

Oooh, you guys are good! Maybe you could get a job in our investigations department!

11,400 kms on the ST at the moment, booked in for it's second service tomorrow morning (and a good clean after the rain!).

Yeah I am dreading the 'last price' calls. So far I have just received polite texts!
