I'm in love.


























... with the car.

 

there is just something about a Blonde with a English accent that does it for me, add the whole into car's thing and I am there.

 

She is very 'girl next door' and that's not a bad thing.

 

Wow, even Vickie owns a S2000. here is her background, for those of you who watch Top Gear or Fifth Gear, I think this is good reason to be proud owner of S2000.

Vicki Butler-Henderson (born February 16, 1972, in Hertfordshire, England, United Kingdom) is a racing driver and presenter on British TV. She was educated at The Perse School for Girls in Cambridge.

Originally Butler-Henderson worked as a racing driver and instructor before moving into journalism where she worked on numerous British motoring magazines such as Auto Express, What Car? and Performance Car. For a time she was also the babe mechanic in Max Power magazine, referred to simply as VBH.

In 1997 she joined the BBC's flagship motoring show Top Gear. Arriving in the male-dominated presenting line-up she immediately demonstrated that she is a talented presenter and able to match the best efforts of any of the "boys". After the BBC cancelled the original Top Gear, Butler-Henderson, along with co-presenters Quentin Willson and Tiff Needell, moved to Channel 5 in 2002 to continue their work on a show now called Fifth Gear.

As well as presenting Top Gear and Fifth Gear, Butler-Henderson has also co-hosted radio shows on Virgin Radio and done voice overs for television advertisements with her immediately recognisable gravelly voice. She also presents ITV coverage of the British Touring Car Championship, which her brother Charlie briefly contested in 2004.

In early 2005 it was announced she had signed a contract to present a daytime television show for ITV called Date My Daughter in which a single man 'dates' three mothers of single women. After the dates the women decide if he is worthy enough to date their daughter. The first series was first broadcast starting in May 2005.

In January 2006, Vicki appeared in a TV commercial for the Kent & Medway Safety Camera Partnership in which she states that the Partnership "don't want your cash, they just want you to slow down". This has caused great consternation amongst drivers who perceive that she has 'gone over to the other side'.

From February 2006 she presented the ten-part series Wrecks To Riches for Discovery Real Time.

Vicki drives a Honda S2000

 

This made me lol.

 

i saw that, but i thought they gave her s2k away in a contest a year or 2 ago

 

Here ya go....

 

Is the US getting old episodes? She already gave her s2000 away like a year ago as part of a 5th gear contest. She does a doughnut in it before speeding off. Its cute.


edit: man I'm slow

 

hehehe

 

This episode with Vickie "spying" on the Aston Martin's in her S2000 is not an old episode, it's the last episode that aired on May 22nd. If you want to see the entire epsidoe you can download it here: Fifth Gear 05/22/2006 (Right Click, and select "Save Target As...")

It's possible that she did give away her old S2000 and purchased another one (as was stated earlier).
