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.

More pics of him in leathers please!

Another Lincolnshire lass here who adores Guy.

He really is gawjess.A somehow heady combination of Barry Sheen and Fred Dibnah.

Sadly it looks like its more for the men than us ladies. Still, a useful Christmas present idea?

I lived in a lovely village with a duck pond. We had a visit from the Vicar when we moved in and someone else dropped round with a lovely Victoria Sponge. I miss our lovely damp and draughty old house a bit.

In real life is is actually very ignorant, I approached him twice at a major road race meeting for an autograph in the pits but he just ignored my request as he did others, not in the least bit pleasant. I did however get the autographs of other riders who did not have his nasty attitude towards race supporters.

Oh I most certainly would!

He's like a Victorian hero who defies the odds and the evil landlord, gets the girl and fights for mill worker's rights. All the while looking rugged and manly. Oh and has somehow inadvertently slipped through a wormhole to 2012.

Had no idea he was a rally driver?, motorbike rider? thought he just made programmes about barges.

He rides bikes, a very reasonable rider as well. He is a diesel mechanic most of the time working on lorries etc.

Oh my, as a mad biker I swoon at Guy, but seriously gush over his younger brother Stuart !

I've never yet met a bloke who rode a motorbike that wasn't also a complete cock.

(and a teensy bit dim)

Oooh he is definitely shagworthy. Only shagworthy though, not boyfriend/husband material as I bet he is a right ballache to be in a relationship with.

But yeah, I'd boff him! Eh?!

He has a bit of a Huge Ackman look about him, doesn't he.

I was there with you ladies until I watched a video of him talking [hsad]

Bit harsh. Although I can't argue with your experience...

My OH rides bikes and has done some amateur racing. He's not a complete cock. He's also got 2 degrees so not dim in the traditional sense.

Agree with Shelly....it was a bit of a sweeping statement! My DH no longer rides a bike, but he used to when younger. He's neither dim, nor a cock.

Not just me who pervs on guy Martin then!

So who's just been watching and seen him up to elbows in dog poo?
Still find him irresistable now, eh?

I loved that prog. It was brilliant. But I don't fancy him, even without the dog poo. You can have him

I've just read the thread title out to my DS (14) who worships Guy Martin.

I said 'Look at this - lots of ladies love Guy Martin"

Yeah, he said... I love Guy Martin, too

(Am now v confused and am wondering whether to get him GM calendar on his Christmas List [hhmm])

Squoosh
You should see the footage from his 'big' crash a few years back '10?. He shouldn't be alive (he seems to crash quite often)

I think your comments are unjust , I ride bikes and have done for years as did my Dad who was a policeman and far from dim . As for being a cock I've seen plenty of them driving cars,clearly you've never taken the time to actually talk to someone who enjoys riding but would prefer to base their opinion on the actions of the mindless few .

No no no, I am not having this! I bagsied Guy Martin on Mumsnet years ago. He is like a young version of my lovely DH (who incidentally is neither dim nor a cock).

Have a look at this, for the 2010 crash, it's about 8 1/2 mins long

from about 7.30 onwards it shows the paramedic and stills from the crash.

These people have a completely different outlook.

My dh looks like him! Sideburns, scruffy hair, grime! He's also from Lincoln and has the same phrases etc . We saw guy in the super market once and I was very taken

Oooh I'm glad I'm not the only one! Has anyone seen that program he presented a couple years ago, "The Boat that Guy Built"? Where he goes about with his best mate on a narrowboat visiting traditional British manufacturing towns and learning how to make the things they're famous for? I confess I watched it mainly to look at him. And the way he says "Water" and "warm".....I don't know, just sexy.

But my DH is from North Lincs so perhaps I have a 'thing'..

Guy wants to know if he can get mumsnet on his new phone?

Nah, he's annoying, pays overt attention to his facial hair, there are loads of engineers around, and I prefer athletes that move under their own steam.

I do like the way he has a pint mug of tea in his hand when on the podium

I so would.

He's like a sexy version of Mr Tumnus
