    I always wondered why the Top Gear producers hadn't offered her a blank cheque to come on as a permanent presenter - she was so good on it, and would have done so much for the show. Then I found out how long she'd been sick and it made more sense...

    wow that's sad news, Sabine was a bit of fun and she drove hard. Sometimes we forget that one can come down with a life threatening medical condition, like cancer, taking a life so young. And I should know, having dodged death on more than one occassion.

    RIP Sabine, loved your work !
