MNHQ

LOL at swissmiss - I like that.

why thank you chippy

I have now got the choice of this one too....so was it a Kuga the EPS was in? Am very bad at knowing what car is what

LOL. Yes, twas a bright blue Kuga, with invisible go-faster stripes.

it did seem to have said stripes!

Thank you

Am going to keep with this name for a bit I think

IATLIR you and me both.

great day had here too 'waves at fellow yellows' Loving the name change Kuga!

I'm a yellow!!

Finally posting about yesterday - what an awesome day. Still have the big smile that arriving home to the usual houseful of homework-laden kids could not dislodge.

Loved all of it - the RS had to be the highlight but I'm having second thoughts about my impending car change - the Kuga has now shot to the top of the list. All that cone weaving was impressive stuff!! Have to work on DP for that one.

Thank you so much to Mumsnet and Ford. A brilliantly organised day.

Off now for Coffee with Johnny .... found him loitering by the gates looking lost on my way out! .

Hello to all the whites! We had such a fun time, although I would think twice about buying an ex-demonstrator car now - taking the Kuga out on the 'appraisal' RIGHT after trying as hard as we could to roll it on the ESP test was possibly not a good idea.......
Thank you to everyone from MN & Ford. The off-road bit was so much fun - I giggled like a loon all the way round!
And to the lovely MNetter who used the disabled loo cos the queue for the ladies was too long: TUT TUT

Hello Hobgoblin - fellow white grouper! I was the tall one with curly hair and black GAP hoodie - accompanied by dp who was entirely mystified by the MN stuff but enjoyed the day!!

I got BIL to take a photo of me coming out of the disabled loo!

bugger!!!!

Go Yellows
That was such a brilliant brilliant day - lovely to meet everyone
I've realised two things
a. I drive way way too slow and probably have done since leaving hospital with DD

b. Actually we need three cars:
The RS for me
The S Max or Kuga for the kids
The Mondeo for DH, lovin' the parking thingy
No actually its four cause I also need the Off -roader for next time it snows

Hope to see you again soon
Jennifer Mumsnet

I was in White with Hobbgoblin, but I have no idea who you are! It's all very weird.

Ha ha I was hoping to meet LynetteScavo just because of your cool name!!

So who was the nice lady in the white group with the dh who wore the stripy top? And the scarf wearing MNer on her own with the gorgeous hair colour?

The nice lady with the DH and stripy top wasn't me. (Who was she? - she was very nice)

I was the sad loner who had prostitute wellies shiney boots and a scarf.

Go yellows!

Thank you MN and Ford for a brilliant day. I loved the off-roading especially.

Like Jennifer, I'm one who obviously drives too cautiously. Being told 'go faster' was really hard!

Thanks for the goody bag as well.

Your boots were gorgeous Lynette. I meant to ask you where they were from

Boden, CMOTdibbler. Was really nice to meet you and your DH. You are both lovely!
