Now I’ve got mine back, I want to get around to fitting the coloured badge decals I got a while back. I got yellow because I’m a fan of the classic BRG and yellow, like on the classic Lotus 7 featured in The Prisoner.

“Reunited and it feels so good” And all it took was 12 weeks, 1 day, 4 hours, and two minutes. Why was I even worried?

Update time! Coming into week 10 and well past the point where they’ve had the car longer than I have. Mid-June, the Ford engineer told them to go ahead and replace parts of the sunroof (I forget what he named, it was so long ago). They said the car would be going over to the bodyshop to get...

Wow, I almost missed it! Today is an anniversary for my dealer and me…and they didn’t even get me anything. Also this does mean that if they have it for just one more week, they will have had hold of it for longer than I have.

Okay, so not today then. At least I’m actually being updated now.

Hopefully going to get some news tomorrow when a Ford engineer is scheduled to visit the dealership and take a look. I hope it’s good news because I really dislike this Edge. HVAC controls in the touchscreen is a massive no-no and talk about thirsty! I reset the MPG and trip meter when I picked...

I hadn’t made this clear, but to confirm the dealership did give me a rental while all this is going on. It’s an Edge which is bigger than I need and has already almost led to an “Austin Powers-corridor” moment at the top of our drive. Seriously, I would have much, much rather had an EcoSport...

I had a convertible before moving to the States and I adored it. Convertible options here that aren’t RWD are limited (a RWD car wouldn’t get up our driveway in the winter), so a sunroof is the next best thing to a ragtop.

Done, thank you.

19 cars over 27 years and 11 of them have been Fords. Though, as my username reveals, I’m not originally from the USA so all but 2 of those Fords were European. I’m definitely not soured on Ford but on this particular dealer, you bet.

So I picked up my Eruption Green Big Bend about six weeks ago and I’ve been delighted with it. Except that the moonroof broke and stuck open. I eventually got it closed, bit by bit, but then it was stuck closed with the sunshade stuck open. However, whilst I’m obviously very disappointed with...
