Channel 4 wouldn't let me watch it live on the laptop cause apparently my internet isn't fast enough. wombles. Internet here is rapid

Ah well, it's effort to go to the next room and stick on the TV so I'll wait a bit



okay, wombles is my favourite filter/censor so far Never seen that one before

That was amazing. The guy is such an engaging fruitloop it's impossible not to like him and want him to succeed. He's a quality, quality Bloke is Guy Martin.

I Agree, he's a top bloke! Made me laugh when he peered into the top of the barrel when they were clearing the water out! Splash!

I reckon they should have used a YZ250 2 stroke... would have made 100 meters look easy! Not that I am biased

Don't buy any cheap motor cross bikes that are really clean with strange tyres from a guy with a mug of tea in his hand.

But I'd love to own a bike that Guy Martin had used. The bragging rights it would give me

[chris freckle]

I agree he is amazing, he wasn't quite so engaging when he walked past me at the TT a couple of years ago, he had broken down and walked over the bridge at saint ninian's crossroads, he had a face like thunder , i decided it wasn't the best time to have a chat, enjoyed the programme though.

[Stratman]

That was a brilliant episode and I've really taken to the guy now!

I still say he was ripped off by going for the record attempt on his bicycle by having to do it on sand. I have watched the first episode again as I enjoyed it so much, it made me realise that he achieved over 100mph on his first practice run at speed on that runway. I think he would have blown the previous record out of the water if he had been able to have gone for the record on solid ground. A big shame they couldn't have found somewhere more suitable than the beach

Agreed. Also, if the screen on the truck had a picture of Laura Trott's bott, that might have helped. Then again, I think that would have made me fall off
