Guy Martin is a British legend

[@harryhumphreys8537]

For realz

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

I agree 100% I truly admire Guy Martin.

[@stephenwillis9518]

Get guy and Colin furze on a show together ! Literally doing anything and it'll be a hit!

[@johnpartridge7623]

Guy & Colin, together on a Show? There would be some barmy ideas from Colin & good Engineering from Guy-what a combination lol

[@alexandracapitani2860]

I never thought I’d hear the day when Guy wants a strong cup of coffee and not anotha’ strong cuppa [tea]

[@brentanllewellyn3898]

Love our Guy. Does everything with a hearty smile. Gives everything a go. Wins it by a mile. No matter how fast or slow. He finds diamonds. In everything he gives a go. Afraid of nothing. Strives to stay alive. While most can't. He abides. A modern day legend. But quite shy. Here's to you mate. Our Guy.

[@AdelinoGambiarras]

You can do Guy Martin you are the man, Great Britain needs more men like you.

[@graemenicol8480]

Your the man guy love your shows we need more

Hard to kill the old two strokes. Really glad she fired up and what gorgeous little Austins. I have a 122s Volvo, no powerhouse but fun all the less. You are well on your way to slomo racing!! Turning a friend on to Guy's channel who is working on his own Trabant here in So California for just a fun survivor car

[@Sweetabixx]

Absolute legend

[@minibus9]

awesome video

[@davidsharp9166]

You imagine trying to tell Guy how to Race

[@raykewin3608]

To be fair, this lad has less broken bones.

[@robs715]

​@@raykewin3608 this lad has clearly never raced superbikes though has he.

[@raykewin3608]

@@robs715 It's a joke.

[@js7127]

I see the hardest part is trying to get Guy's mind to slow down. When your tail depends on split second decisions for so many years its hard to unwire it. Blessed be the boys that took on the task and competent they are!! Love their Austins

[@robleary3353]

Bril! Nuff said!. 🙂👍

[@JACK-ot9kv]

Show how to drive to Guy MARTIN !!!! Great moment fot this teatcher.

[@kevin_heslip]

Mans grabbin the wheel of a multi tt winner

[@peaceorpieces8343]

Awesome

[@martiniv8924]

Always remind me of the DAF 30 Daffodil 🙈

[@chrisjohnson4165]

I used to work on those!

[@samuraile6625]

Guy Martin, born to drive fast. I think James didn't expect or underestimate Guy skills. I think in this car you don't need brakes😁😁 you need only play with acceleration and Guy know that.

[@fredtedstedman]

always preferred the A-35 to the Minor . I worked for a firm that ran both as vans , A-35 was faster . a great looker !

[@bigbird2451]

Knock a couple of those engines together and make a V4 I figure.

[@mikehipperson]

Why, if this is about the Trabby, is the thumbnail picture of an A30?

[@bartofilms]

One of these ‘Trebant’ cars nearly killed my Mom, who rolled it while driving downhill at freeway speed and swerving to avoid a deer. These things had a brake/free-wheeling clutch anomaly that made it capable of suddenly loosing traction and rolling at speed.

[@slome815]

It has a freewheel on 4th gear, as do almost all 2 stroke cars, including Saabs, though they have it on all gears. What it does is makes you incapable of engine braking, it does not make you lose traction.

[@paulrobinson3528]

He's taking the steering wheel from Guy? Really, did i just see that?

[@Beer-can_full_of_toes]

That would be one rap on the knuckles from me then a crack in the chops if he did it again. Full stop if he can’t leave it after that. If you put a man behind the wheel of your car to show him stuff you have to trust him with it. If you are going to be grabbing things while he going it’s your own mistake. I get it but I didn’t respect this kid. My mom never once grabbed the wheel when I was first learning. She left plenty of fingernail marks in the door panel hanging on for dear life but never touched the wheel. Give that a thought.

[@triple6758]

The modern Fred Dibnah.

[@CaymanIslandsCatWalks]

Pimpin ain’t easy

[@liamrconnell]

Whats this gonna run? 300bhp?

[@carlosoruna7174]

Never from the stock 2 stroke. 40 if really worked on.

[@mesco8200]

30bhp

[@laptopuser3323]

Gday guys?

[@user-mp9rd4hg8b]

I think the battery is bigger than the motor.

[@Bobblenob]

Hah, teaching Guy to go around a track he must have ridden thousands of times

[@landiepete]

Fantastic character, but he *is* a damn rattlecan.

[@robxal]

Have a word with your producers Guy! This is old footage, I’m unsubscribing, really boring now

[@1tonybricky]

he weighs more than the car!
