What do you drive?
A Seat Ibiza Cupra Sport, orange and bronze.

What do you like or dislike about it?
I hate the colour - and the white wheels. When I first saw it, I refused to get in. Then I was told no one in their right mind would pinch an Orange Seat with white wheels!

Why did you buy it?
I needed a car quick. I looked at a Subaru, but the salesman didn't know how to handle me. I was asking the right questions - but I was a girl . He wondered if I could handle the power. So I gave the car a real white-knuckle test drive. The poor guy was hanging on to his seat.

What kind of driver are you?
Fairly normal on the road. But track driving is different. Then it's OK to be aggressive because everyone is travelling in the same direction.

Any bad habits?
Getting irritated by people who dither at traffic lights and junctions. And I really ought to leave more time for my trips.

Any driving test tales?
I passed my test within days of my 17th birthday. My driving was fine but I got the Highway Code wrong. A motorcyclist came off his bike in front of me and, as well as avoiding running him over, I didn't hit anyone else. My instructor was impressed.

Ever crashed, got a ticket, or points?
My only crash on the road was the first time I drove abroad, in my father's Jaguar C-type. I have three points for speeding, and am about to get a shed-load more.

What do you use your car for?
I drive to most of the circuits, so do a fair bit of motorway driving. I loathe public transport, so often drive when I go out at night. It stops me drinking.

What state is your car in?
Normally it's a mess and full of mud. I use it so much I never get round to cleaning it.

What's in the glove compartment and the boot?
The glove compartment is full of music. The boot has baseball hats, a coat and a pen.

Ever had sex in a car?
Yes.

Expand.
No.

What do you listen to?
If I'm going racing, something loud and dancey. If I am going somewhere grown-up, opera. When I drive home late at night, Radio 4 keeps me awake.

Name your dream car?
Road car: a Honda S2000 or an Audi TT Quattro because it looks so good. Racing car: a GT40 (best-looking car ever), a Lotus 49 or a Grand Prix Mercedes because then I could sell it and buy all the road and racing cars I wanted. &#149: Amanda Stretton presents Rally Sprint on Channel 4.
