Possible new Host: Sabine Schmitz

evoWALO · July 11th, 2005, 07:01 PM

Last Sunday's episode open the door for Sabine to do car reviews for Top Gear while Jeza recovers from a bad back.

Captain Morgan · July 11th, 2005, 07:09 PM

Depends on what type of car. Vintage cars, maybe if they were racers. Oddball reviews, hell no, let James take them.

But something like a Corvette C6 Z06? Hell yeah! Maybe she can even lap faster than The Stig. 8)

If she replaces Clarkson i'll stop watching images/smilies/thumbdown.gif

Tobias · July 11th, 2005, 07:13 PM

Nah. I can't listen to her accent.

slrfan · July 11th, 2005, 07:20 PM

Top Gear is a British motoring show, so although Sabine is charismatic and a damn good driver, it just wouldn't work. It'd be like having an American James Bond.

You guys, SHE is the stig, images/smilies/lol.gif

Good point huh. images/smilies/lol.gif

Well, we haven't seen very much of her yet in fact. Maybe she was a little nerveous too (I don't know if she has any experience with this kind of shows?).
But she seemed nice to me. Not especiall pretty but she sure knows how to drive and that's what matters. I'd give her a chance to prove herself.

I tought it was Schmidt instead of Schmitz. Guess I was wrong...

jensked · July 11th, 2005, 07:55 PM

It was pretty funny seeing Jeremy say that images/smilies/smile.gif

But her accent...NO

By the way, did she really come from Germany to do a 1 minute appearance in the show??????

Unless of course...SHE IS THE STIG !!

Z Draci · July 11th, 2005, 07:58 PM

She doesn't have to be the new host. She can be Jeremy's test driver.

I'd love to see Tiff back on Top Gear! Even though Jeremy is funnier, it's more pleasing to watch Tiff's amazing skills at work.

She is definatley not the Stig. When he was introduced you could see that he is really slim, but Sabine has a bit of a butt...

Anyway, due to the unique way the BBC is funded, its obviously possible to fly her in for just one day... And maybe a nice dinner where they can discuss if shw should do a bit of hosting (even thoug I would like the idea of testing a car every now and then...)

My thoughts exactly.. shes too german. images/smilies/lol.gif

Walsh_e · July 11th, 2005, 10:41 PM

I think having her maybe once a Series testing a Super car round the ring, maybe with James with her (because we all know how he likes going fast) would be pretty good. But as a regualar presenter..hmmm don't think it would work, maybe they could get Vicky back and have them race each other?

swek · July 11th, 2005, 10:53 PM

Make her drive the cars and let Clarkson do the voice over. images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Nah, as I've already said in the ep thread. She's to angry. All the screaming "Jaaa, schneller GO GO GO!" is disturbing

Haha, she is a bit over the top, I can't imagine her saying something in a calm way and make jokes that don't need laughing of her own..

I voted yes, but don't think people will like her.

I think this, or having her and another presenter go at it around their track (like they've done before, format like Vanquish/575) would work out well.

Buba · July 11th, 2005, 11:02 PM

Without saying I really want her on the show -> I guess they made her act like this... Or at least encouraged her...
Somehow most things seem a bit more rehearsed in this season than in the last ones...

Well Vicki was not too dissimilar,but not chilled enough to point out 'Im left foot braking' images/smilies/biggrin.gif
