Speed

[Kev L]

Anyone see tonight's Speed with Guy Martin? 625bhp Transit van anyone!

Yep that was pretty impressive. I though it was funny when he went to the casino too He done well though. What a fantastic character he his. I wonder if he took his own T-Bags over there. He does like good cuppa.

all good tea drinkers take their own bags. Yorkshire Tea for me. Ironically my nickname at work is 'Tetley" as i always have a cuppa.

[fabiostar]

brilliant wee show, the guys like a big kid.

[VTRDark]

A big kid with balls. Did they say what next weeks challenge is going to be. I didn't catch the very end of the programme. Somebody should stick him in a centrifuge and lets see how far he can go in that. Then get him flying a stunt plane. Does he have a pilots license . Thinking about it I'm not sure he does. One of the ballsiest thing's he's done outside of the TT I would say was that wall of death and he done pretty well there so I would like to see how he holds up in centrifuge before blacking out. Or maybe someone can fire him out of a cannon. The human canon ball or attach him to a missile....scud u like

Bloody missed it...It is however repated on 4 Seven (or 4/7) think its Sky 140 but check your listings at something like 19.30 hrs on Weds. It is ofcourse also on C4 catch up but you have to register to watch it & I can't be arsed with all that.

Not on next week as C4 is showing the Paralympics..

he did the centrifuge/stunt plane thing while training for the wall of death speed record, can't remember off hand what Gs he pulled be it looked pretty extreme

One thing I have come to realise about these guys in the TT is that it's not just balls and being able to ride or even mentality but there is something about them and their body's that are able to focus and handle things along with the drive within them to push forward. That's what makes them special. Anyone can be a complete nutter, train and teach themselves a skill, but not everyone's body could handle it.

Watched it last night on the repeat...Good prog...

This is part of a new series, but does anyone know the next date?
It's not on next week due to parrot Olympics.

saw a documentary once about a bonkers wing suit flier, Austrian I think, and it was on about his brain waves and as a child it was recognized that something about him meant he had no fear and kept falling out of tree,s and off walls etc.

proper nutter who sadly copped it at the end of the programme , flew down a mountain and into a bridge

I have finally got around to watching this, bl**dy fantastic
His co-driver looked gutted with the mix-up of the extra diameter of the tyres from the heat upsetting his calculations. Guy was just elated his old Transit van finished the race

I never get tired of watching Guy's TV programmes,

Chris.

Here's the next step up from wingsuit flight and this would be a good challenge for our Guy.
