"I don't know if she can weld" = class line! Got to get your priorities right 😆
Speaking to someone in the hovercraft world, apparently they had only two months to build it and a very limited budget. The design/mould they used was also very old.
He was not happy as it painted his hobby/passion in a very poor light.
Ooh a wheel size debate! Yay!

Oh, poor dear. He must be absolutely crushed. 🙄
I've driven the car round that circuit (The Bont)
Wouldn't want to freewheel down there 😯
The wheel debate is over! 26is best, scientifically proven innit!
Missed a trick there....did'nt try 650b!!
(These are getting worse with each successive episode)
Heh. I've ridden down harewood hill climb faster than that!
to be fair, though, it was wet and that road is hardly used - it will have been greasy as hell.
Not quite sure it was much of a test, TBH
Surely that sheff uni 'lass' must be a stw'er
Maybe she isn't studying IT Mangement?
Oops! Clumsy.
I was just riding along when...
That'll buff out 🙂
Pmsl Guy is mental.
Watching on a slight delay, so not reading other posts (Sorry!)
However, got to the Bath bob track piece, and so far it all feels a little too much like "Now, Guy, we need to make sure we have some women represented in the series".
"Grand. Chief. Brew. Put 'em all in one episode. Job done.!
Brilliant.
Lucky ,lucky boy
Booo
No more Guy on TV (until his next thing)
How could anyone not enjoy that ?
Superb.

Thought that initially, but no problem with it whatsoever 🙂
As sure as night follows day......
'What's the worst that could 'appen?'
Errrmmm......that?
Predictable but still hugely entertaining!
well the girls have good taste in T shirts and bikes! Cotic Rocket! 😆
Loved "She can't half pull a truck"!
Best line of the night 🙂
So many brilliant lines
"not sure what she'd make of Grimsby"
I loved the balance of representing women in Engineering Guys language
This was a great one. Much better than the hover craft
So ideas for the next series
I think we don't have to set records
I'd like to see him just have a crack at a few cycling events just to see how it goes.
Say
Fort Bill downhill track
Maybe a track event like a pursuit
or other sports
See if some one will let him have a day in an F1 car and see what sort of time he can post
or that mental Austrian Enduro event. I know another show tried that but the block didn't even qualify
Got it now Erzberg Rodeo
What would you like to see
Got it now Erzberg Rodeo
Wow.
Top work to all involved. Proud of what they did. Great team of nutter complemented guy totally.
Rally raid type thing? He has the mental / physical attitude to do any sort of event and be better than most people.
Best bit of that was the love interest and the crash. I'm not sure I can say what I thought of the rest of it. So much wrong.
A great advert for Hope though & GM is a massive star, I could watch him all day.
Anyone else spot the piece of excellent engineering on the wall?
Looked a lot like a DHF.

that was in Hope's reception I think.

That would make sense.
I'd like to see him do a program where he wins a TT.
So if the hovercraft one was dine in only 2 months and little budget, what was supposed to be happening that didn't?
Also if Mr Hovercraft man didn't like it, why didn't he just say no?
This episode was way better, funny, good engineering, although concentrated a bit too much on Hope, when the hole idea was to go has fast as possible...brakes font help you do that 😆
i think this was the best one this series by far
absolutely best thing ive seen for ages on tv
would love to see a 2 episode of him doing the DAKAR
If there's any justice in the world, Guy and Ms Schmit will be married within the year 😀
Best one yet
Great bits about mountain biking - there was even a Cotic Rocket on it!!
A nice piece on Hope, some great flirting - with Guy not thinking she'll like Grimsbry after living in Geneva and an epic crash which he laughed about before he'd got pout of the cark
Top bloke and top entertainment
Makes Top Gear look pretty sh*te 🙂

Err, you do realise he's an avid 24hr MTB Racer in his spare time don't you???
2nd Solo Male at the strathpuffer this year!
Couples come dine with me featuring Guy and the French lady?

Keeenwaar anyone?
Obviously it's a tv show, so what they chose to show and leave out is based on it's entertainment factor, but I was surprised they didn't look at hubs (especially with Hope involved) and how they might contribute to the bike's speed.
I thought they might have looked at rim and tyre width a bit more too.

Sorry, we need to show a lady pulling a truck. No time to show any of that technical rubbish.
But ladies pulling trucks is more interesting. I've never thought "blimey, that's impressive" about a hub.

I know, I wasn't being serious. It's obvious what goes in and why.
Stealth edit

They concluded that 20" was better than 26" as it offered less air resistance. That was enough to put me off 29" for a goodly time to come...
And didn't they look at tyre width / pressure and their effects on handling on the runs at Mt Ventoux.
