Enjoying my last hoorah with the Ford Kuga Titanium. 
Well the time has come. My 'glass carriage' has now turned back into a pumpkin.  After six weeks of road testing the fabulous Ford Kuga Titanium (part of the Kidspot Voices of 2015 program), I have now officially handed back my lovely shiny new wheels, and settling back into my much less fancy, much older 'pumpkin'. Oh how I will miss those seat warmers on the way to work, the sunroof and of course the active park assist (it basically reverse parks itself) helping me snag those little spots in the back streets of Alexandria! So of course to give my Ford Kuga the send off it deserves, we have spent our last days together in true eat read love style. We have visited the Grounds of Alexandria and The Potting Shed umpteen times for coffee and flowers, we have driven on our girls weekend away to Terrigal, we have relaxed together on the sand dunes at Boat Harbour and ventured down with the family to the Southern Highlands. We have launched paper planes from the sunroof, and picnicked in style. From coast to country, we have had many adventures together.  After all of our fun together, I will now have to remember how to use a key again, lift the car boot up, will not enjoy having a cold bum when I drive to work, and will have to park the car myself. How is this fair. But, I will remember our final drive home together with the roof down, James Bay playing loudly, the breeze in my hair winding through my favourite streets of Sydney. So long Ford Kuga. Until next time. 

Thank you so much to Ford Australia and the team at Kidspot for inviting me to be a part of this special experience. My family and I have had an absolute ball travelling around in the car! #fordthinking #fordkuga #voicesof2015
