Mona

I’d never heard of Karmann Ghias until my friend Mona Mok pulled up to my door in the one she’d just bought.  On a whim.  It was a beautiful, quirky, stylish car with something extra … just like Mona herself … and ever since then, whenever I spy a Karmann Ghia (which doesn’t happen nearly enough), I think of her.  
​
Mona has been looking after me for 20 years, though she’d probably say it’s been the other way around.  She’s a friend who knows what to say & when to say it.  She drove me to the airport & gave me a boost, when I left my life and embarked on my grad school trauma (I mean triumph!).  She’s the friend who took for me drinks to say what no-one else would, when I was so deep into a start-up that I couldn’t see clearly anymore.  She is wise and kind, and I always feel a surge of strength when a Karmann Ghia drives by and reminds me of her.
