[Closed] What's in James Martins garage?

He probably robbed it off someone he ran off the road - and then his the body!

My bet is it's full of tear soaked tissues.

Yep saw it !,just watched it & thoroughly enjoyed it !..

Last nights was good as well, about the only time I've actually watched a whole programme since Guy Martin was on.

So it's him, Nigel Havers, Melanie Phillips and Matthew Parris who've published anti cycling rants?

Was he ever investigated as to his claims of running people off the road?
Really was a vile article and showed what he is really like.

Bet it was his publicist who suggested putting the bike in shot.

From the Daily Hate:

After taking the Tesla out for a spin Martin had this gem to report: “Twenty minutes into my test drive I pulled round a leafy bend, enjoying the birdsong - and spotted those damned Spider-Man cyclists. Knowing they wouldn't hear me coming, I stepped on the gas, waited until the split second before I overtook them, then gave them an almighty blast on the horn at the exact same time I passed them at speed.
The look of sheer terror as they tottered into the hedge was the best thing I've ever seen in my rear-view mirror. I think this could be the car for me."

Presumably nonsense, but you have to be a nasty wee attention seeking media tart to write stuff like that.

I love Saturday Kitchen and always watch it but won't be tuning in if the above quote has any truth in it.

i'm not defending him in the slightest here, but i seem to recall that he issued an apology and said he was making it up a week or so after that article was published (and after he was bombarded with complaints and abuse for it, rightly so i feel)...

he doesn't deliberately cause cyclists to crash, he just makes up stories about causing people to crash. Presumably because he thinks it impresses someone. What a lovely fellow.

Wanted Jackie Stewart or just anyone to scream FORMULA in his face. Apart from that enjoyed it.

Ha ha, yes FORMULA!

I saw that Guy Martin buying bike bits in a shop the other day

Formlia, Asshat!

Glad it has not been forgotten, he seems to appearing everywhere once more though.

Yes, doesn't matter that it was made up, because it feeds the prejudices of those who think that cyclists shouldn't be there, and are "fair game".
He only apologised as a damage limitation exercise. Much like that other odious creep, Matthew Parris:

A festive custom we could do worse than foster would be stringing piano wire across country lanes to decapitate cyclists

On 3 January, 2008, Parris apologised, "It was meant humorously but so many cyclists have taken it seriously that I plainly misjudged. I am sorry."

A piss poor Partridge parody of a man with no discernible talent. That 'opinion' article was well publicised at the time.

I would show him my spider moves and kick the pretend Yorkshire **** in the balls. (Allegedly)

Yeah really good....tyrell looks super nice at end...shamd about blithering fat bloke in it!;).... back when F1 was.dangerously good!!

James Martins a tosser,however he's got an epic car collection.

The TV Times said it was going to be Sir Chris Hoy on Colin McRae - Part 2 of 3?

ex Mr Barbara Broccoli.

& cook.

I wouldn't buy a piece of toast of that individual.

Can someone start a vote to deport him to where ever Piers ( I'm a sanctimonious pratt) Morgan ends up?

Cannondale 29er looks like.
Squeaky clean tho.

James Martin lives in the next village to me. If I saw him winching his fat gut around on a bike after all he has written, I would pedal up behind knowing he wouldn't hear me coming, I step on the pedals, wait until the split second before I overtook him, then shove his fat arse into the hedge...

^^ make sure you gopro it , I think we'd all like to see that 😆

I don't like him as he's a smug git (and apparently anti-cycling) but I would happily look after his cars....

Particularly loving the Ferrari 288GTO 8)

Chris Evans has a better garage.

Do tell.

Any idea when he regularly takes his penis substitutes out for a spin?
Perhaps we could arrange a group ride?

And that picture above reminds me of the one of the hairy bloke posing with the guns and the video games - sadder than my mums funeral.

His garage has got a clock on it FFS 👿

So the Yorkshire thing is a fake? DO tell...

Is there a effigy of his own penis,
That he sucks.

i have hated him (strong word i know) since he did the programme about doing the mille miglia, in which he very much came accross as a mardy arsed, self serving cock.

it also irritates me that he owns two extremely nice minis. im not sure why.

So the Yorkshire thing is a fake? DO tell...

No, he's from Yorkshire. I assume that, as his shop is in Petersfield, he lives in the deepest Hants stockbroker belt though.

He lives in Stoke Charity near Winchester... Brings the whole place down if you ask me.

I watched said programme on iplayer didn't enjoy it, horses for courses I suppose.

My wife's friend Ashlyn puked in his Ferrari. I'm not a fan either. Sometimes see him in Winchester in daft shoes

^^^^
This.

I agree. He came across as a rude arrogant selfish nobber. They way he spoke to that woman (his girlfriend at the time?)

He needs to lay off the pies too. Perhaps he should ride a bicycle more.

Chubby talentless dullard of the highest order.... I saw a documentary where he spent a mountain of money on a classic car and then entered a vintage rally in Italy... With a very pretty Italian co driver, and he wouldn't let her drive. Sounds like a great trip/experience, but he never smiled and came across as spoilt Git. The TV show was crap too, but only because he was crap, because he is crap. Crap crappety crap.

The Formlia 1 grated on me as well. Seems to have done well from cooking a bit though. I am in the wrong job.

The episode with Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Stirling Moss was leagues better, for all the obvious reasons.

He is a fat, talentless shit.

And there is a turd, tucked behind the toolbox, near the strimmer and classic oil drum in the corner of the garage. He doesn't know, but the stench drives him mad. Don't ask me how I know, just revel in his discomfort.

I quite like him
