The only time I'd wish for a van not to be washed.
It was she published it a while agoBoth Murray Walker and Sabine Schmitz gone in 4 days.
Although equally sad you knew it was coming sooner rather than later with Murray, but more of a shock with Sabine because she was still relatively young and it had not been publicised that she was fighting cancer.
Top Gear on Sunday will have a dedication to Sabine.
A great tribute on BBC1 tonight. A fantastic lady.
Susie Wollf was pronouncing the e at the end.Normal German pronunciation is to pronounce the "E" on the end of Sabine, as with Porsche, but no-one on the programme did, I wonder if that was the way Sabine preferred her name pronounced?
I always dislike the way people with names that have a Germanic stem insist on Anglicising it - I used to grate my teeth when the MP Gerald Kaufman called himself “Korfman”. And every Epstein seems to pronounce their name Ep-Steen”
