Another true legend gone

Always found her amusing. A friend of mine was driven round the ring in her van (taxi/minibus) several years ago and was suprised at how fast she could make it go and what she was overtaking in a bog standard "van"

Great shame about her, she was a wonderfully cheeky character with a raw talent for driving.  :(
