I am doing this because I need to finish my feature on vintage Ferraris and I like procrastinating.

1. WHO WERE YOU NAMED AFTER?

My mother wanted to call me Fiona, but my father objected on the grounds that Fiona was a common name among porno film starlettes at the time. She did not query how he knew, but changed the name into Angel. Needless to say, I got more jokes out of that than if I'd been called Fiona.

The last time I was unhappy.
