Fancy test-driving a brand new Ford for three weeks over Christmas? If you do, then please sign up using this link.

Everyone who signs up will be entered into a prize draw to win one of ten £50 John Lewis vouchers.

And if you're selected for the test-drive, you'll get £100 John Lewis vouchers in addition to motoring in a new Ford with all mod cons.

Good luck,
MNHQ

Yay, just got in and checked my mail. I have a Ford Car . So, so excited, also wondering how to drop a few dress sizes in a few days ready for the video diary. Guessing that may be a bit tricky. Thank you Mumsnet

Sorry for the delay chaps - the lucky five this time around are:

ruddynorah
Thatsnotmymonster
Nobodysfool
Nevergoogledragonbutter
Wags

There will be loads more car tests coming in the next year, so if you haven't been chosen this time, hopefully you'll be lucky next time around.

We'll be in touch in the next day or so with the 10 winners of the £50 John Lewis vouchers and will post the winners' nicknames here as well, so watch this space.

Thanks to everyone for volunteering.

ruddynorah · 08/12/2009 15:17

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 15:51

DH took the call this morning and they said they'd call back this afternoon to sort it out.

c'mon.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 15:53

ruddynorah, yours look lovely.

hope i don't get a banger.

Wags · 08/12/2009 17:45

Had my phone call as well. Getting a 2L S-Max, she said it would be automatic as I have a knee problem and she was also trying to get a dog guard for us as well. I said not to worry too much as dog is almost 13 and certainly won't be trying to jump anywhere but she was most insistant that she would try her hardest to get one fitted. Plus DVD thingys for the kids. There will be serious tears in this house when it goes back, although I am more worried that DH will kick the kids out of the back and sit and watch his war DVD's

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 17:48

i hope you two haven't taken the good ones. i'm guessing they will call back tomorrow, but i'll be at work!

SCargot · 08/12/2009 17:49

SCargot · 08/12/2009 17:49

hobbgoblin · 08/12/2009 17:51

But I neeeeed to choose my mpv before end of Jan. Did you not know this Ford?

I might not buy your car now Ford, I mightn't so nerrrr

Wags · 08/12/2009 17:51

No, she just told me what they had got for me. Was amazed as had already seen that someone had a S-Max so wasn't expecting it. It was the one I would have chosen though! I feel so lucky

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 17:51
