What was Sabine Schmitz saying when she introduced The Stig in German?
In Series 23 Episode 3 of Top Gear when they hand the Audi R8 over to The Stig, there was the customary introduction / joke. On this occasion it was delivered by Sabine Schmitz, in German.
Unfortunately my German is rustier than a 25 year old Alfa Romeo so I didn't understand what was said. Can someone provide a translation?
