Janie loves the buzz of adventure, and if two wheels are involved, all the better. However, four wheels carried Janie 3000 miles in the Gumball 3000 rally in the year 2000. She drove a Porsche 996 across Europe with business man Charlie Graham for five adrenalin pumped days!

It was one of the most memorable experiences . During the race they were stopped by the French police because one of the drivers in a Ferrari had filled up with petrol and then driven off without paying. Charlie and Jane were stopped simply because they were the first car the police could find. Although they were held for over two hours with the chief of police who insisted on a full investigation, the duo were more than pleased that police had forgotten Jane was driving pretty quickly the moment they were spotted!

Charlie and Jane won an award for being the strangest pairing on the Gumball, having only met each other once before the race began. They also became quite legendary mischief-makers, but managed to finish the race complete with German composer 'Babak' squashed in the back of their car. His brand new Lamborghini Diablo Roadster had blown-up. . . he needed a lift. . . the last leg of the journey was through Hamburg . . . any one speak German?

Since filming began with Car Crazy Rio; Jane has taken part in several driving experiences. She entered the Renault Clio scholarship and was selected to compete in the final phase!.
'Car Crazy Rio' required Jane to be a passenger in the Orange Arrows AX3 formula 1 car around Silverstone Circuit for four laps, driven by Jonny Kane. Tough Job!
