Wanted: five families to test-drive a new Ford

160 replies

GeraldineMumsnet · 27/11/2009 14:43

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

thats why ive not entered cos i would've of cried for a week with a brand new car as never had a brand new car before! so im sticking to my loyal banger!!

NoSwimmingThanks · 08/12/2009 17:57

it's closed, boo

I am so worrying about the video diary - I don't think I have a 'good side' anymore, not from any angle..... at all. Also pay back time for DH if he is filming. I showed the Mums at our christmas dinner last week a picture of DS covering him in bath foam in the bath (his face, honest). DH was decent (just) but he didn't think it was as funny as we did. Dread to think what he is going to do with the zoom lense

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 17:59

never had a new car either biglips.

how hard do you think they will look for me if i elope with it?

fillybuster · 08/12/2009 18:01

gutted...dh was so excited when I told him I'd entered.......but obviously delighted for everyone who has won...and relieved not to have to worry about hair/makeup/dcs behaviour for 3 weeks of video diary

fingers crossed for those vouchers....

Wags · 08/12/2009 18:04

Oh my, handn't given the DC's behaviour a thought. Was more worried about being seen in the same jeans and t-shirt every time we video. Will practice like mad this week, speaking nicely to each other in the car. Maybe this is going to be harder than I thought.

mistletoemulledwinemoodlum · 08/12/2009 18:04

serves me right for saying to DH I had a good feeling about this competition

gritted teeth smiley face "well done" to all those who did win

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 18:12

the children must not say anything which reflects badly on my parenting, for 3 weeks? that should be interesting.

although if they're watching DVD's they might forget to be horrors.

MuppetsMuggle · 08/12/2009 20:12

Woohoo, I've just got an email from MNHQ saying I was a runner up and got £50 John Lewis vouchers

Thanks MNHQ

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 20:29

I'm gutted they didn't catch me in today. Hope they don't change their minds.

Well done muppetsmuggle!

MuppetsMuggle · 08/12/2009 20:30

Thanks it made my day today

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 20:32

I'm assuming that mumsnetters will be able to see the video diaries. Will it be obvious who is who? Our cover will be blown surely? and the Style and Beauty crowd will never speak to me again!?

mistlethrush · 08/12/2009 20:36

Boooooo HIsssss

Closed!!!!!!

Mind you, recently been into Ford - discovered that you can't be a reasonable height and a passenger in either the Fiesta or the Focus. I'm only 5'8" FGS and my head was practically on the ceiling, with no way to adjust the seat to make it any lower!!!!

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 08/12/2009 20:38

Wow well done to the five winners

nevergoogledragonbutter · 08/12/2009 20:38

i'm not a reasonable height at all.

my height is totally unreasonable.

that is why i deserved to win.

traceybath · 08/12/2009 20:42

Oooh well done.

Have got an s-max and its fab - love that scrappage scheme.

Bigbadmummy · 08/12/2009 20:50

Had my email about winning John Lewis vouchers, too! I am thrilled.

Do I buy something sensible?

Use it to get some Christmas presents?

Or do I blow it on some new knickers?

Wallace · 08/12/2009 20:53

Well done you lot. I am very with .

Did I not get picked because I said I wouldn't consider buying a new ford?

MuppetsMuggle · 08/12/2009 20:57

BBM - I'll be using it for xmas pressies - if they get here before then anyway. If not then all for me in the sales

mel1981 · 08/12/2009 22:21

well done you lucky 5 I am so jealous!! but will keep an eye out for future test drives. Fingers crossed on the vouchers- will definately come in handy but think ive missed out if emails have already gone out but well done to winners there too.

edam · 08/12/2009 22:25

Hope you winners enjoy the test. I'm jolly pleased with my JL voucher - thanks v. much, MN and Ford!

fillybuster · 09/12/2009 12:23
