    Guy is a perfect role model for our youth. Hard working, honest, down to earth, brilliant at everything he does but with modesty. I wish I was more like him.
  • @KrisMOTO23

  • @plus1guy273

    Love him. So glad he hung it up on the TT before he became another name on the list.. He was a great racer and I hope he lives a long healthy family life. Cheers.

    Imagine Guy Martin and Fred Dibnah at a dinner party... would be the most interesting conversation ever had in human history buy the two most modest and genuine people in human history.
  • @TheAslakVind
    The thing he is most proud, is his 12 months of no failed MOT´s! Love him! :) "Yeah, was down here with my wife, she picked me up in the van. We had a pint down the road!" :)

    GUY you are the guy next door who will do anything for anybody and not ask for payment apart from a brew! Always been a fan and you are a flipping diamond geezer!! National treasure

    Many folks love Guy here in the U.S.A., this man is just the real deal.
  • @ReaIJohnDoe
    Guys parents must be so proud, what a wonderful son they have moulded. I'm so glad he quit TT. Unfortunately there are a couple of lads running at the top you just get the feeling will not stop, until everything stops.

    Who turns up for a TV interview in his work clothes.......Guy Martin, surprised he didnt walk on with a cuppa in one hand and a sandwich in the other, true Legend
  • @linezero3
    I can easily get stuck with him in a lift, this Guy has the best human persona and heart. Dude is a fooking legend!
  • @ketchup5344
    Just himself. Not worried what anyone thinks. Brilliant person. Brave, original, talanted, eccentric and marvelous. And he doesnt think he's a celebrity? Sorry mate-you are one and a real one at that ✌
  • @superbrit3845
    I could listen to this bloke morning, noon and night, I could also look at Suzi Perry morning, noon and night too, what a great combo, fantastic............
  • @andybrown4284
    UK needs more "celebrities" like Guy, not the vacant nobodies who're famous for being famous but honest down to earth personalities who can inspire others. Country will be needing to go back to nurturing the practical skills instead of blindly pushing kids into university so having people like him on telly is a really good thing.
  • @DarkFighter84
    Sign of a true worker, turns up for a major Channel 4 interview still with oil and grease on his hands and fingers!
  • @calmiller3024
    Funniest thing about video is trying to watch the auto-generated subtitles attempt to translate his speech. Listen to him long enough and knowing much of what he talks about makes it hallarious.
  • @elflakeador09
    How can you not like Guy Martin , what a bloke😎👍
  • Guy Martin, the most down to earth guy on TV, top man. A Guy of the old fashioned ways of just do it, get on with it and keep it real. As a fellow mechanic and person that also enjoys researching history and playing with engines, I'd love to meet him for a pint down the pub
  • @AW-sk9jd
    Legend I’m first a truck mechanic proudest of that most
