Yes, another vote of thanks here - had a great time, and I think I was in the team with the two guys going round on two wheels? The instructor was hanging onto the straps!

And Lady in Red - your hot lap was smokin' !! Grin Grin You deserved your round of applause!

Well on behalf of Mumsnet - thanks so much for coming - it was amazing! Lovely to meet you all. Such a brilliant day. I loved the RS and the Off Road especially. Plus the Ford guys were all so kind.

Feedback thread proper is coming Monday
Hope everyone had a good run home.

to all the yellows - I am still buzzing from the RS laps Wink

And a special mention to Doug in the off-roader for being so calm when I slid back down the hill Blush and to Holly for rockin' the hot laps.

Great to see you Ann and Jennifer, and thanks for such a brilliant day!

ChippyMinton · 15/10/2010 20:27

just re-read that - I'm not the lady in red btw. Now she was cool!

hobbgoblin · 15/10/2010 20:32

Kids in bed. I am soooo tired.

Thank you AnnMN and Mnet in general and Ford for a fabulous day.

I so impressed DP with my driving skills I was permitted to drive the whole way home.

Don't know who any of you in my group were (white group)...anyone fancy owning up?

I want to know who beautiful petite mumsnetter on my lunch table was as she was just so prettily smiley. didn't chat loads to anyone as didn't want DP to feel too left out of the Mnet thing.

Not had time to look in goodie bag yet as straight home to 4 needy DC but will look tomorrow. Thank you. Megasketch was a lovely gift.

We are going to book a rally day as I didn't want to stop driving like a nutter round bends!

May have convinced DP into an S Max when we change our car. Grin

swissmiss - were you the one with the car powered by chip fat?

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:10

Thanks MN and Ford for a fun day.

:waves: to the yellows. Sitting in the car with the Lady in Red was fab. It honestly wasn't her driving that made shake like a leaf Blush after getting out of the Kuga, now I have just outed myself!

Posie love the link, see what you mean Grin. Sherby's DH & Mate def enjoyed the driving.

I was the lady in red Grin.

Am still amazed that I did it so fast (although I think all the wheels stayed on the ground Grin.

Enjoyed all the day and am also amazed that I managed to do the off road driving. Although I need to learn that when I am told "stop revving" that is what I need to do Grin.

DH has been sounding most envious as I have been retelling the day.

DS very impressed with the megasketch which he immediately started using as I got back :)

Thank you again Ford and Mumsnet :)

Another one with a non-working MP3 player. PC recognises flash drive but won't let me copy files to it as error message "device name contains invalid characters or is too long" comes up but don't have any option to change it. It's probably me being dense but I'm stumped.

chippy yes that's me!

NoahAndTheWhale · 15/10/2010 21:16

Am considering a name change lol

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:16

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:16

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:19

noah both our instructors were really good and encouraging weren't they? the grin on your face after was priceless.

ChippyMinton · 15/10/2010 21:20

How about RockinTheKuga?

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:21

I like it chippy, go on Noah it's a good one.

swissmiss · 15/10/2010 21:21

IATLIR is good too!

IAmTheLadyInRed · 15/10/2010 21:22

Although ChippyMinton's suggestion is also good...

IAmTheLadyInRed · 15/10/2010 21:23

shakingleaf · 15/10/2010 21:24

shakingleaf · 15/10/2010 21:25
