Sabine Schmitz RIP
Just announced on the news that racing driver Sabine Schmitz has passed away aged 51 after suffering cancer. Well known as the lady racing driver presenter on Top Gear. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!

Very sad to hear. That's too young to go. I always thought it worked well when they included her in some of the Top Gear antics.
