What was your first car and what did you think of it? I ‘inherited’ my husband’s Mark II Ford Escort - red with a black roof. I was very fond of that car until someone kindly wrote it off for me in a rear end shunt!
What do you drive now and why? An Audi TT cabriolet - red with a black roof. I have previously owned a TT cabriolet and, on the odd occasions when we have nice days in the summer, nothing beats a drive on a long country road with the roof down!
What is your dream motor? I dream about owning a Ferrari Testarossa but might settle for a 458 Spider instead - whichever it would have to be red!

What other cars have you owned? Fiesta XR2 (red - what a surprise!), Nissan NX100 (red - boring!), and another Audi TT cabriolet (blue! - there were no red ones in stock!)
What’s your next car? Trying not to think about it. I am married to an

accountant and with a relatively new car with low mileage I have no expectation of anything being written into our household budget for a new car any time soon! Whatever it is, it could well be red!
Favourite road to drive on and why? The Amalfi coast - winding roads, beautiful scenery and sun beating down. Although I think I enjoyed it much more than my husband who was sat in the passenger seat!
