Meet the 21-year-old female mechanic who owns her own garage - defying bloke who ask her "do you just clean the cars then?"

Marijke Booth said she's used to working in a 'man's world' - and when she started in the trade she couldn't even get boots to fit.

But after stuffing out the end of her steel-toe boots with socks she's got stuck into being a full-time mechanic.

She hassled a local garage into giving her a job as a mechanic, built her own car and scored a place working for a race team, and now owns her very own garage.
