Not just an auto buff, Firdaus has a love for make-up as well and is often seen sporting colours similar to the vehicles she rides; Red is her all time favourite. She is also proud of her scale model collection which includes some rare beauties. Mercurial by nature, this lady can handle motorcycles, cars and high heels with equal finesse and charm!
