Janna Fidalgo, a music engineer at General Motors, is not your typical car enthusiast. She started her journey with a Honda CBR 125 at 16, delving into Portugal's car scene during the Maxi tuning era. From a Polo GTI to an R56 Mini Cooper D, her automotive passion led her to study in the UK and work with various manufacturers like PSA Peugeot Citroën and Jaguar Land Rover. Janna's love affair with Minis culminated in owning an R56 Cooper S, the perfect companion until she switched gears to an Audi A3, a decision she soon regretted.

However, Janna's heart belonged to the Suzuki Cappuccino, a tiny yet exhilarating ride that captured her soul. The car's unique features, including its removable roof panels, made it a standout choice for her daily adventures. Despite owning an E46 M3 and a Toyota Sera, the Cappuccino remained her forever car, offering a race car-like experience on B roads. Janna's automotive journey reflects her unwavering passion for distinctive vehicles that bring joy and excitement to her life, even amidst the challenges faced as a female enthusiast in a male-dominated industry.

From her childhood fascination with cars to navigating the complexities of the manufacturing world, Janna's story is one of resilience and determination. Her experiences with different vehicles, from the iconic Mini to the quirky Toyota Sera, showcase her eclectic taste and appreciation for automotive diversity. Through her words, Janna invites us to share in her love for cars, emphasizing the emotional connection and sense of freedom that driving brings. As she continues her journey in the automotive realm, one thing remains clear: Janna's passion for cars is not just a hobby but a way of life that defines her identity and fuels her spirit.
