Anxiously waiting as 19-20 year olds who thought they were pretty slick and fast on the ring, this small lady with (then curly) blond hair bounced up. As arrogant young kids we looked like "what"?
Of course the BMW M5 has no Jesus bar but I wish it did. Having driven the ring in an old banger, specifically built for the ring, myself the first dangerous corner the brown alert went of with Sabine remarking: "this corner needs no braking, see? you give it some more"
Years later when she hit Top Gear and especially with the van challenge, I was grinning ear to ear and I heard her voice all over in my head.
A wonderful woman who has earned and deserved the highest respect. She will be missed.
Cheers,

You were very lucky. This is for you. Maybe it's you in the car.
