Such sad news. It was definitely one of those 'this can't be true?!' headlines when I saw it on the BBC yesterday.

The episode of TG with her and the van round the ring is one of the all time classic episodes. Mainly due to her presence and personality.

She was one of those people in life who are are absolutely *instantly* likeable. I'd never seen or heard of her before seeing her for the first time Top Gear in the Chris Evans period, but it was like *bam* who is this? She was one of those people who just exuded infectious enthusiasm into their surroundings. A really sad end. R.I.P.

I'm not exactly a motorsport follower, but had seen her on the mainstream motoring shows on TV and one thing I noticed is she seemed extremely happy. Just had a recommended clip come up (probably because I was carwow clips) where she was driving an Atom and other cars around a track with another presenter as she just seemed to love every second of it.

Taken far too soon.
