VBH? ummm no...not on Top Gear. The female presenter I want has to be able to drive...get Sabine Schmitz in there....that is a lady who knows her cars and has a wicked sense of humour. Her lapping the ring in a Transit Van was one of the best episodes in the last few seasons...
Am I the only one who finds the bits with Sabine Schmidt (??) a bit forced? I know she's not doing it in her first language but I'm not convinced she's very good at the telly stuff. Also she's really not as hot as people make out, so many blokes are so desperate to find an attractive woman racing cars that they force it, that's why there are weirdos who find Danica Patrick sexy :D
I think Sabine is pretty natural. You listen to her giving the motorcycle dude she passes in the Transit what for, and you realize she has a great sense of humour.Quote:

She looks alright in tight jeans, but she isn't your typical female beauty. She is a tomboy....
I just liked her style....
Seriously though, I don't think Top Gear works with a woman on the show. The magic of this show is the chemistry between the 3 blokes... It isn't about anything else really. You see the evidence of the Top Gear phenomena when you try to watch the Aussie version of the show and realize it isn't even close to the same...
Yep. Because I think that most blokes, given no work commitments would like to go cocking about in cars with their mates.
Holy crap! Top Gear is back?!!

Rubens Barrichello in the reasonably priced car this week.
Why does it need an attractive female presenter? Just because all other programmes, including the news, seem to have to have a mandatory attractive female - doesn't mean the best programme on TV needs one. It is great because it doesn't fall in line with other programmes, the three blokes are great together - a dumb blonde as eye candy really wouldn't work.Quote:

And Vicki Butler-Henderson?! She is not attractive, not a very good presenter, not a particularly great driver - it is a mystery to me how she has ended up on TV car shows personally.
Top Gear will keep going. This weekend's episode was excellent.
We would if we had the money and time as well...Quote:

The abuse, the taking the pi$$ out of each other is all classic British humour and that is what makes this show unique. The cars are almost an afterthought...
I enjoyed watching (belatedly obviously due to the football) the last episode of top gear. rubens and rupert grint were both good guests, and the 3 way car test was good even with the wedding bit, but I didnt need to see Jeremy Clarkson try to convince the audience he'd lost his trousers and then try and be funny with gaffer tape.
Like Jezza and May she was a journalist before she ended up on TG & FG. I'm sure you will be pleased to know that she started off Max Power!Quote:
