What do you drive?

A silver Ford Ka. It's bubble shaped, like a spaceship. I suppose that says I like to live in the present and the future but not the past.

What do you like - or not like - about it?

It's a manual, which I hate. I've only ever driven automatics - lazy I know. The great thing about it is that it can carry a lot of petrol but be economical with it.

Why did you buy it?

I liked the shape.

What kind of driver are you?

Fast but safe, though apparently I'm a bit erratic and make my passengers want to throw up.

Any bad habits?

I forget to put on my seat belt.

Any driving test tales?

It was so long ago I can barely remember it. I passed second time and it was uneventful.

What was your first car?

A convertible Golf.

Have you ever crashed/got a speeding ticket/got any points?

I've had it all: points, tickets and a crash. A truck hit me when pulling out on to a main road. I had to crawl out on the other side but I was OK.

What do you use your car for?

Everything - work, pleasure, shopping. I couldn't do without it.

Have you ever experienced roadrage?

No I'm fairly calm. I always give way and let people out. As I'm busy with people all day long driving is my quiet time - my meditation down time.

What's in the boot?

An umbrella and an anorak that folds into its own bag.

Have you ever had sex in a car?

No

What music do you listen to on the road?

Rhythm and blues. Apart from Jazz FM and Classic FM I rarely have radio on because DJs tend to shout and I can't bear to be shouted at while I'm in the car.

What would be your dream car?

A convertible VW Karman Ghia. But I'd want a brand new one that didn't break down, which is a problem as they don't make them anymore.

Who would be your dream passenger?

The jazz singer Diane Reeves - she could sing to me while I was driving. I love her soothing tones.
