How cool is this...
How cool is this...
At work today, I sell internal engine parts for all sorts of things and we cover old brit bikes.
Get a phone call late this afternoon and some bloke in a Lancashire accent is asking for piston rings. So I say no problem I'll just have a look in a catalogue.
Turns out we don't have any so I say we can do it buy size, and he says oh I only need the oil rings anyway. No probs I say, £11 each I'll pop them in the post, whats your name and address........
Guy...
And your second name?
Martin
I said, the Guy Martin? He says I'm only a truck mechanic but yes I'm that Guy Martin!
Bloody hell!!!!!
Anyway chatted for a little bit and hes a really nice guy, no pun intended.
Pretty cool eh

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: How cool is this...
That is way cool, I would love to get into a conversation with Guy. And the fact that he is slightly bonkers is even better. We have a few things in common.
Nothing wrong with Frank either, No what I mean.

he switched on our little town/viallge lights a few years back and was brilliant, although the years of being punched had taken its toll, he had all the time in the world for the kids etccybercarl wrote:That is way cool, I would love to get into a conversation with Guy.

His one liner's are so funny! I'm a big big fan, desperate to see him get a well deserved tt win.

Re: How cool is this...
It would be nice to see him finally get a win.....
The funny part is I have to translate most of what he says for my fellow 'mericans....well except for the bits I don't understand but who the hell can understand some of the things he says....
