Stars their Cars Jodie Marsh
WHO CLEANS YOUR CAR AND HOW OFTEN?Either my brother does it or he takes it to get valeted when Im away.
WHATS THE CRAZIEST THING YOUVE EVER DONE IN A CAR?
I had a race the other day in Essex. This guy was at the traffic lights in a Fiesta. He was about 90 and tried to burn me off. I just left him in my dust.
There was another time I was at the traffic lights in my mate’s souped-up Golf. There was a load of lads in the car next to us. I said ‘burn them off’. So he sat there revving the engine and I slipped it into neutral. He was expecting us to shoot forward and we didnt go anywhere.
WHO WOULD BE YOUR PERFECT PASSENGER?
Shane Byrne, the MotoGP rider because he drives even more nuttily than I do but also because I really respect him. I drive really fast like a racer and if he was in a car with me he wouldnt be scared.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD A CRASH?
I slipped on some ice in my Vitara. There was a car blocking the road, so I slammed the brakes on and skidded. I ride a motorbike as well and crashed during a lesson. I came off and rolled down the road. I didnt break anything. I just had the worst bruises youve ever seen. From my thigh to my ankle was just black and blue.
WHAT DRIVES YOU MAD BEHIND THE WHEEL?
If youre on the motorway and people come up behind you and flash you to move. I normally get into a road rage race with them - but I always win.
WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS KEEP IN YOUR GLOVEBOX?
TVR Tuscan 2
A friends copy of my autobiography. I wrote a long essay in the front of it and she started leaving it in her car but she hasnt got any locks on the doors so I took it out because I didnt want it to get nicked. Ive got The Wedding Singer DVD. I dont know why thats in there. Ive got my brother Jordan’s CD. Im always carrying those around with me because Im always meeting music people and handing it out to everyone. Ive also got a load of chocolate bars - although by the time I get home they might have melted.
DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A GOOD DRIVER?
Oh yes. Very.
WHAT IS YOUR DREAM CAR?
Either a TVR Tuscan or a right-hand drive Dodge Ram. I love cars but Im not one of these people that thinks a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is the be all and end all. I like slightly different cars and I love monster pick-up trucks.
WHAT WAS YOUR BEST/WORST CAR?
The best is probably my TT because its quick, girly and cute. The worst was a Peugeot 206 CC. I got it brand new but the roof leaked.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
A Suzuki Vitara.
WHAT DO YOU DRIVE?
Ive got an Audi TT but Ive just ordered a Toyota Vigo which has had to be imported.
