Sunset // #RangerRaptor

Sunset.

A quick change, and time for the technical presentation hosted by our Chairman, Steven Armstrong.

Then dinner, and catching up with Elisabeth and Florian, from the other employee pair.

We were all exhausted, sand-blasted (I swear sand poured out of my ear like a cartoon), and smiling from cheek to cheek – reflecting on our good fortune to be here at all but also on the experience of being in such an effortlessly capable vehicle in such exciting surroundings.

You know, we are still only on day one… stay tuned!

Tea Break // #RangerRaptor

Go on, do as we did after our first bout of dune driving (no pics of during, it was all too exciting and fast for stills, but the Ranger handles it with no more effort than a trip to the shops) – take five minutes and catch up with the other posts on this blog, or maybe check out my colleagues’ YouTube channels…

In the Dark // 5 Senses

One of the surprise elements of this launch event was the sensory zone, where we were invited to experience All New Fiesta through (you guessed it) our senses…

You’ve heard a lot already about the B&O Play systems, so it was entirely appropriate that there were cocoons to explore music and sound to full effect:

Walking in the pitch dark, with your hands out ahead of you, was a disorienting experience but not entirely uncomfortable – one wall in particular felt like it was covered in soft faux fur, and I couldn’t help but snuggle into it a little as I passed…

And for vision, the demonstration of the anti-collision tech in the car was just stunning – walking around chassis ‘skeletons’ looming in the dark, setting off the sensors and understanding just how aware the car is of what’s around you was breathtaking…

All in all the sensory experience zone really got me thinking (and feeling) in new ways around the cars. Just a great idea!

PS: I didn’t wander over to experience taste and smell… allergies!
