MNHQ

It was a fab day, everyone had a good laugh, driving the Kuga was great fun.
I'm wondering which of you we sat with and talked to now.

sherby, either your DH or his mate was piggin' brilliant at the Kuga 4x4, wheels lifting off and everything.

Noah, I was in your group!! (short, lipstick, white shirt!!~)

MN what a fabulous day, I think I got the best group with activities in the best order and RS at the end. Can't fault the day at all, from start to finish it was well organised, exciting, nice food, great staff (eager, attentive and friendly). And the goody bag with the MP3 and drawing thing are fantastic!!

ha will let DH know, what did he look like?

Posie, we chatted over breakfast!

Nah, my DH was the best in the Kuga - we were in the red group ( it was the 2 wheel drive ones on the course, not the 4x4 ).
He really slung it around - I have the bruised shoulder to prove it!

I liked the 4x4 mudplugging the best.
The freebies were an excellent bonus.

Thanks Mumsnet and Ford!

Hello ll!!

The guy with brilliant blue eyes was brilliant and his mate who looked like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=thetorchonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tumblr_kvr0krgakp1qaaoj6o1_400.jpg&imgrefurl=thetorchonline.com/2010/02/22/interview-dominic-monaghan-bad-ass/&usg=__9IPR1PDd6zdNq-ltDHMPooMQyyE=&h=400&w=305&sz=40&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=UtoNDbjM3VU7TM:&tbnh=175&tbnw=109&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddominic%2Bmonaghan%2Blord%2Bof%2Bthe%2Brings%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26biw%3D1372%26bih%3D839%26tbs%3Disch:10,100&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=496&ei=pYm4TO3WJo2EswbkocDsAg&oei=pYm4TO3WJo2EswbkocDsAg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0&tx=67&ty=30&biw=1372&bih=839" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a good looking version of their love child

I didn't see anyone wearing Boden - clearly wasn't looking hard enough :(

I had a top, top day and I quite like the fact that I don't know who any of you are. My favourite bit was the ESP driving which I absolutely loved. Driving down the M1 afterwards was a distinct anti-climax.

Thank you so much MN and Ford - today is now featuring in my list of top-ten-fun-things-to-do-with-your-clothes-on :o

LMAO Posie I know exactly who you mean!!!

Had a fabulous day, thank you Mumsnet and Ford so very much - DH is trying to restrain me from buying a Kuga. I have promised him he could throw it around a few cones.

What a brilliant day!

Not sure which bit I liked best.

I got very excited about the "party bag".

Thank you so much Mumsnet and Ford.

I can't wait for DH to come home so I can tell him all about it, and pursuade him to buy me an S MAX. (Which have 3 isofix on the back seats in the new model)

sherby - did your DH or his mate drag a cone under the car for a little way? :o

llareggub - you were in my gang

Ooooh, I wondered if we chatted?

I'm sure we did - I am a bit talkative

It was an amazing day. DS is thrilled with his toy.

Oooh the party bag was a brilliant touch, now I know why my 4 year old goes on about them all the bloody time

thanks mumsnet and ford, the day was great. DH and i are now arguingdiscussing which new car we would like when the time comes. I want the Kuga, DH wants the RS and the mondeo.

malificence I was a red too!!

I can't realy decide which bit i liked the best as it was all great fun.

Thanks for the goody bag and toy for the kids, that was a nice touch.

I'm just off to the ford website to configure my Kuga

LMAO posie, brilliant link I will show him when he gets back

Just looked at pp's link - oh those men. Not in the purple gang :)

becaroo(I think it was you), thank you for resucing me from the cafe car park first thing this morning...I would probably have spent all day wondering where everybody else was!

You and your sister are lovely!

And so is Ann.

(I dind't actually figure out who anybody else was)

Fabulous day ! Who would have thought that off roading was possible one handed

Fantastic day! Just wish I could have spent longer driving the Kuga.

Malificence you were in my group and your DH was fast!

What a great fun day, really impressed with the guy who drove the RS he was crackers but talked so calmly all the way around and the goodie bag was a lovely surprise.

Unfortunately one of our MP3's didn't work so we have two kids fighting over the one that did! Think I have whiplash from my DH in the Kuga :o ! Thanks Mumsnet & Ford.

Fab day with the white group loved Kuga driving and the off roading.
I've worked out a couple of people from clues on here!
Fantastic organisation, the whole day went very smoothly thankyou Ford and Mumsnet especially for the party bag.

And for any other car manufacturers out there this is the best PR event ever, all my BIL and I did on the way home was talk about Ford and DH and I are definitely going to test drive a Galaxy before we buy our next car!!

So Audi, VW etc you have a great focus group ready to go.....teams are you ready???????

Thank you MN and Ford for a brilliant day.

Dh & I had a great time - really loved driving the Kuga, and the off road course was ace.

The goody bag was a nice bonus - the dds will poverty the toy tomorrow (thanks to nightmare m25 we got back just in time.for bed, so they haven't yet seen it!)
