RIP Sabine

Post by Bootsy »

Sad news today. I always admired Sabine's driving but more so her personality and passion. A great loss at only 51 - very sad. RIP Queen of the Ring

What a sad loss.
Entertaining, vivacious and feisty, came across as a professional with real spirit.
RIP.

Very sad. Try and find a photo of her not smiling. I like what she brought to Top Gear - truly talented.

That is very sad news. I have fond memories of being a taxi passenger with her and she was hilarious as well as entertaining and fast. The running commentary would have had us all in stitches if we weren't bricking ourselves. RIP.
The force is strong in this one ......
