Captain Colorblind - Thanks. Baldurs Gate is brilliant.
Mrnaughty - Yes it is the game for my sister but if someone can host it for me I'll release it for free here. I'm really quite pleased with it. I'll edit this post in a second with some screens.
What it does basically so far is you can drive around and perform stunts as well as picking up gems. You can also pick up mines to drop behind you as you go. There are some snowmen on sledges chasing you so you have to blow them up with the mines. If you misland a stunt or hit a mine or the snowmen hit you then you blow up and waste time. I'm planning to make a menu with a choice of car, map and time limit. I will then make a high score table. The only other thing I really need to fix in game, that I can see, is blowing up when you go in the water. Easy you might say but the water rotates so I can't simply use a y value. I'll figure it out soon enough using trigonometry. I might also add a mileometer. As you will see from the screens I also have working shadows. The game runs at a constant 100fps on my machine; AMD AthlonXP 2400+, 256Mb RAM, Radeon 9600.
Here are the screens:

If anyone is happy to host it for me then please let me know and I'll e-mail it to you so you can host it.
Oh, and by the way, my sister is going to be 9 so this game isn't supposed to be too hard.
[Edit]
I forgot to mention what the symbols mean.
The clock is the time,
Score is the total score,
The gem is the number of gems collected,
The tyre is the number of stunts,
The snowman is the number of snowmen killed,
The explosion is the number of times you have blown up,
The mines are the number of mines collected.
Scoring works like this:
Trick 1 - 360 points
Trick 2 - 580 points
Collecting a gem - 150 points
Collecting a mine - 50 points
Blowing up a snowman - 200 points
Controls (keyboard/game pad):
Arrows/D-Pad to move
Ctrl/A to do trick 1
Shift/B to do trick 2
Enter/D to drop a mine
