Before heading to Russia, Miss Australia Olivia Wells sits downs with The Gympie Times for an interview as she talks about her new car and her drive to stay on top of her game.
What cars did your family have when you grew up?
As my dad always put safety first we had a Volvo, it was a V70 I think. It looked like a brick and we called it the big red car. I remember Dad driving a white Corolla that was filled with work papers and junk.
What is your greatest frustration on the road?
Definitely people who don't leave sufficient distance - I had a nasty accident after a man in a big Ute complete with bullbar didn't stop when I stopped. I think it's important to remember safe distance when changing lanes on the freeway too.
Do you have any preferred driving music?
Not particularly, when I am on a long drive in my Proton Prevé I do prefer to listen to whole albums.
If you were to pick anyone in the world to go on a road trip, who would it be?
It would have to be The Stig for sure!
What is your dream car?
Can I have a hovercraft please? Hey, you said dream!
