STW mancrush ahoy! He's of to the states with the transit for a race.
Guy Martin, in a van, making progress.... all he needs is an artisan log burner in the back and he'd be an honorary member 😛
Guy Martin + racing a Transit van = SEX WEEEEE
he'd be an honorary member

If only the new M-Sport Transit looked like that.
Well that's my evening sorted.

Woot! Terrahawk on it again!
Just joined this, what's going on?
672 Bhp in a van...... Blimey
672bhp from a 3.5 V6! Where's that box of tissues?
Bloody hell, I want that van!
He's won the Hookers Choice awards 🙂

As for the tranny, remember the Ford WRC TEAM building this monster...

And they couldn't present him with the trophy 'cos he was in his van [s]having a ****[/s] asleep.
😆
Are you sure he wasn't in the back with one of the hookers?
Quality TV that, quality.
The narrator is a bit too serious for my liking but that was very enjoyable.
No mention of the next episode, hopefully there will be more coming.
The original press release said the Transit episode was originally going to be a world speed record for a van with Guy aiming for 200mph (record apparently 174). Wonder what went wrong there?

Apparently human powered blimp channel crossing and hydrofoil speed record through the centre of Lincoln.
Think that he is currently about to try for Motorcycle Land speed record.....

The Lincoln record was cancelled due to weather
The online content is way better thdan the tedious TV broadcast. The whole run from 3 go pros and overhead shot from a plane.
Still not as good as the police camera action "liver run" from 19canteen though.
See, as a van owner, the thing that bothered me was, with that massive roll cage installed, how is he ever going to get his bikes in there, or a tonne bag of gravel, or a couple of washing machines, (one from the shop, one to the tip).

*sigh* Everyone's a critic. 🙄
Had to record this but what do you actually get if you win the "Hookers Choice"?
Thought it would be quite good but found it all a bit stretched out and repetitive tbh, at least he got his van fixed out of it
Was the water pump impeller CNCed at Hope? 30,000 lines of code to produce it 😯
They'll have been generated automatically by a CAD/CAM computer thought. I doubt Mr Martin sat there tapping away at the Fanuc keypad for a couple of months to program it.30,000 lines of code to produce it
Just watched. They tried to make the "race" exciting, but it wasn't was it. The earnestness of the narration gets a bit irritating.
The hooker's prize was the best bit. Oh and Chitty Chitty Gang Bang.

My 13 year old is going to love that!
Yep, perfect. Could imagine mine would have got bored well before that bit!

+1. Far too serious a tone for what is just a bunch of blokes messing around.
Not as bad as earlier serieses, IMO.
Was it a new series or a one off?
Maybe them Olympics got in the way
Every other week I think. A bit odd...
Next one is a pedal powered airship. 7.30 sunday 25th.
Finally watched the transit episode. Looked an absolute blast.
If he'd painted it white it would have gone even quicker!
