Mumsnet Cars..

[allagory]

Sorry what a terrible co-promotion. Really clunky, old fashioned . It doesn't fit on the page and the pictures are out of step with the rest of your site. Why did you let What Car put their ugly colours on your site?

What I dislike most is that is there has nothing to do with Mums and families and cars. It's just to do with cars. As it's not a subject Mums are traditionally interested in you'd think there would be an attempt has been made to make it interesting. But no. Just send us your money.

Did you see this thread started by Justine a while back? www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/1482339-New-car-related-content-on-its-way-pretty-please-will-you-send-us-your-car-reviews. Presumably the co-promotion is related to that? She did say she was looking forward to feedback

I like cars and I'm a mum.

DD2 likes toy cars and she's a girl.

We all went to top gear live for my birthday.

So that's just a bit sexist

it's quite fun, some bits that need ironing out though

I actually said that women aren't traditionally interested in cars, not that no women were interested in cars . That's statement of fact, not perpetuation of a stereotype. So no, I don't think it's sexist.

I'm not disinterested by cars. I have watched Top Gear without complaining, been to Silverstone and Goodwood Festival of Speed and even enjoyed it.

I think the offering could have been fun, but it isn't (sorry).
