richard 384 Report post Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I watched him on "How Briton was built". As I got to the end of each episode it started getting hard on my ears listing to " That's a proper job that is". Edited October 2, 2015 by rich 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3192 Report post Posted October 7, 2015 Looks like Chris Evans may be a solo Top Gear presenter for now. Jodie Kidd probably turned the job down when she heard who she'd be working with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3192 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 Latest news: Ginger to be joined by Chris Harris and Sabine Schmidt. So Ginger just went from front man to weak link. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1160 Report post Posted December 23, 2015 Sabine Schmidt is awesome too. Much better lineup than I thought. It all depends now on how the chemistry between the three of them works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Oh wow, that is the best news ever. Could actually become a proper car show again. As much as I like the old 3 guys, their incessant attempts to be funny made it kinda painful to watch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Driftit 1938 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Average English. Not hot. They are throwing her in because she is a female that is good with cars. Being German she will be awkward. Even Vicki from 5th gear is awkward and she's a pom who's been in the game forever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Evans will overdo trying not to be Clarkson while trying to be funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1160 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 Inclined to agree, Sabine i have never seen host anything, but Chris is all over the internet in various mediums Sabine has hosted a German car show for the last 9 years, but you wont have seen it because it is in German and not English. And lets not forget that she won the 24 hour Nurburgring in 1996 and 1997 driving what else, but a e36 m3! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3192 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 Sabine is an interesting choice. She's a farmer, holds a helicopter pilot's license (she owns a Bell JetRanger) and first raced the 'ring in 1994 at the age of 15. She's clocked 400000 miles 'round the 'ring, won the 24h race twice (^ as Nathan says) and held the lap record at the age of 19 after clocking 8.16 in a Sierra Cosworth. She also held the record for a NA car at 7.07 in a Porsche 997 RSR. She still regularly races professionally, and prefers racing in the wet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero 1160 Report post Posted December 28, 2015 Yea, shes currently racing in the world touring cars championship, but not for a very good team. I like her personality too, shes fiesty and gave Clarkson an earfull and it was funny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olaf 3235 Report post Posted January 8, 2016 Chris Harris is brilliant, Sabine Schmidt is uber - in that ring-taxi way (see what I did there?), and even Evans can be funny. He has exceptional taste, evidenced by his love of Fezzas and formerly of Billie Piper. It should be a riot, given a little time to settle in. I'm off to sort out my Amazon Fire.

gjm 3192 Report post Posted January 27, 2016 Apparently Chris Evans has threatened to walk! That sounds a lot like the ginger I recall from his early days... Let's face it - between Chris and Sabrine, he'd be a presenter and nothing more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
