In the latesest episode of the British series Top Gear, she tries to coach Jeremy to a sub-ten minute lap around Nurburgring’s Nordschleife course, in a Jaguar S-type Diesel. And then she goes out and does it, first time, in 9:12 – yeah, that’s a woman after my own heart.

Of course, Jeremy is a ham-handed idiot – unworthy of the cars to which he is entrusted. But that’s beside the point.
