When did you develop a passion for cars?

When I was still in nappies! I used to have a Tonka Toy digger and tractor. Give me a Tonka Toy and I'll do the "Brmm, Brmm" noises!

What was your first car?

An MG Metro. I bought it only because it had a rev counter. It cost around £2000 ten years ago and was silver with very fetching red seat belts. The registration was FEXY but I wished it was SEXY because I needed all the help I could get then!

When did you take your driving test?

A month after my 17th birthday.

...and did you pass first time?

Yes. But then I come from a racing family and had raced karts since I was 12. I also drove tractors on my father's land. I had driving lessons as well and after I passed, my mother insisted I went and did a two-hour motorway lesson. I can't recommend that highly enough. I have friends who are still scared to go on a motorway.

What is your own worst driving fault?

Singing really loudly as I go along. I always have Abba or a Neil Diamond record booming out.

Who make the best drivers, men or women?

Difficult to say. I learned to drive early, so I'm a competent driver. But then if you got a bunny rabbit to drive from an early age, he'd be competent too.

What annoys you most about women drivers?

They don't make decisions quickly enough - like whether to look ahead and see a gap or not. And they will stop at a roundabout when the road is obviously clear from about 100 yards away. There's no forward planning.

What annoys you most about men drivers?

They can be bloody selfish sometimes. Like hogging the outside lane of a motorway for no apparent reason. They never let others into traffic and NEVER say thank you.

Have you ever had an accident?

I have on the race track. That was when me and another driver both braked hard. He ended up parked on the back of my car, but I wasn't hurt.

What car do you drive at the moment?

A bright yellow Honda Civic Jordan. It's got a real stonker of an engine.

What is your dream car?

Lotus Elise and a Subaru Impreza Turbo which is a rally-derived sort of car - it's a four-wheel-drive, turbo-charged saloon.

Have you been in a road rage incident?

Yes. It was a nightmare. I pulled on to the M25 near Heathrow and meandered my way out to overtake. A pillock decided to get between me and a bloke in the middle lane and overtake me. I yelled, but in the end I let him go because there are real nutters out there.

Have you ever broken the law in your car?

Years ago I was stopped by the police for speeding. I gave him all the chat, batted my eyelids and did the flicky-flicky thing with the hair. But he was having none of it. I was done for £150 and got three points on my licence.

What's the funniest experience you've ever had in a car?

I can't read a map to save my life and I have no sense of direction. One day I had to get to an airfield in rural Gloucestershire and got lost. To make things worse, they were diverting traffic. I didn't know where I was or where I was being diverted to. No kidding, it took me 45 minutes to get to my destination three miles from where I started from. I'm a cross between Roadrunner and Penelope Pitstop. I juggle maps like a hot pizza to work out where I am.
