To be in love with Guy Martin?

[ShellyBoobs]

I know I am really, but he's a proper man. He's got messy hair, oil under his nails, and fantastic mutton chop sideburns. He messes around with big engines for a job and in his spare time he's a motorbike racer risking life and limb at the TT.

My OH is watching his engineering feats intently (on C4) while I drool over his general manliness and straight-forward Northern mannerisms.

There's something about him isn't there?

There is indeed, Eve.

He must be a catalyst for female hormones, or something...

I've met him. He was born in the next village along from where I used to live. He is lovely.

My dh keeps getting told he looks like him; must be the messy hair and sideburns; only with a southern accent

I admire him for the fact that he refuses to have a family because he thinks it would be selfish as what he does is so dangerous

(I've heard)

Mmmm I'd like to see him in his motorbike leathers

Yanbu at all, he is very very swoon worthy! Unfortunately I don't think he would have any interest in any of us, as we don't have engines!!

Very jelous of gruesome!!

I read that somewhere, TheDeathAndGories.

He's had some terrible accidents racing motorbikes, so it's understandable (and admirable).

Like this, whoop?

Guy in leathers

Now him I get! He's very sexy in a gruff northern manly way. Yum....

We have a copy of TT3D and showed it to some motorcycle mad friends here. We had to "translate" as they couldn't understand him.

He has a longstanding girlfriend. Nice as he is, I always get the impression he'd be an utter pain in the arse to live with. Still, I wouldn't kick him out of bed if he farted.

ShellyBoobs that has made my evening! I even had to show DP because I was so impressed that you had managed to find me a photo, thanks.

He's apparently worth a few quid too, Gruesome. Not that he shows it off.

YW whoop.

I'm enjoying ogling it myself, too.

Shelly well, doesn't flash a lot of it. He does have an Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

Fancy a ride home in this ladies?

Yes, I've seen the Aston in a car magazine. In keeping with his usual attire, he was wearing blue overalls for the photoshoot .

I'm told (by OH who is addicted to bikes and the TT) that Guy was paid something like £250k by his leathers sponsor a few years ago. I suppose he can afford a nice car...

YADNBU! I love him too, there is also something about his eyes that gets me. Watch the TT fillm, it is fab, Dh loves the bikes and racing and I get to ogle guy, everyones happy

Xposted with you, Gruesome. Those are the pics of the blue overalls and Aston I was thinking of.

Lilliana, I think that's the thing with GM. We get to drool over him while other-halves enjoy the machinery and racing.

Perfect.

He's lovely isn't he! Dead cheery and down to earth. They're like that in North Lincolnshire (where I'm originally from).

YANBU he is absolutely lush. Those sideburns....

yup me too! Though we don't all sound like Guy I promise! I really don't know where he gets that accent! DH knows him & I remember him from my school days, he's a funny guy (no pun intended!). I had to giggle at all the swooning [hgrin] I'm not seeing it!!! [hhmm] Sorry ladies!

He's lovely but I'd have to check his nails were clean!

Really? (About the accent). He's got a pretty common North Lincs accent I would have said (we're from just outside Scunny). Fairly broad, but not unusually so. Just North Lincs farming really.
