must be two or three weeks now ive owned the explorer and what a beast she is,ive just come from driving a mondeo st24 so used to peeing off unsuspecting drivers and boy racers ,yesterday i had a boxster and aweek before a jaguar x type amonst other unsuspecting motors.the traction is awesome and seems to be as quick on wet grass as on the road.ive yet to go off roading but ill leave that for a while whilst shes still in good shape.fuel seems good much better than i was expecting,from full to just over a quarter ive managed 209miles ,that includes 100 mway miles but the rest is stop start and some ragging well quite a bit of ragging on occasions if im honest,i managed to get 60 in 1st last night but that was by accident as i thought i had it in drive and was wondering why it was redlineing and hadnt changed up ,wont be doing that again anytime soon.anyway ill say hi to everyone as i only found the uk bit recently and maybe see you on the road sometime ,ttfn swampy

Hello Swampy!
Good to have you join us here mate, welcome and I hope you enjoy the Ex! Any chance of making to the Uk meet at Silverstone, see thread in UK section. Also you are not that far from me in Richmond so if you fancy a beer and an Explorer chat lets meet up someplace local eh?
Also post a pic of her for us to see mate!
