Nothing gives Guy as much satisfaction as an immaculate toolbox. He has cycled to his job as a lorry mechanic every day since he was 12 years old, and here, he shows us around his workshop. First uploaded as a Channel 4 short in 2014.

You just can't hate Guy 😂 "I've got.... 11 10mm spanners" 😂😂
What's story with 10mm spanners? Pls explain
@@98984393649867913695 its the size of socket you always drop in the engine bay
@@simo782b thanks buddy......
dead serious about it too 😂😂
a quarter inch swivel head ratchet with a deep well 10mm socket. In my pocket always.
"if it's not right, it's wrong." I feel that way. I love that ethos.
MOT inspector: who prepped your vehicle? Customer: Guy Martin! MOT inspector: here's your MOT ticket I'm not wasting my time.
Daniel Stevens nah there all kids nowadays in the ATFs they will try their best to fail you
Joe Mengler a good MoTer should be able to tell if a vehicle will pass just by talking to the owner and just a brief once over, but Vosa/dvoola have such strict regs-all cars/tests/owners/testers are all linked, the second something fishy happens with a vehicle EVERY vehicle that the guy has ever touched will be scrutinised and they will thrown the book at them. Even the best guy in the business has to be stringent now, the bar is set below half a fuck up, not worth the risk
@@4wdsome444 it must save lives somewhere along the line. I've always thought do the job as if it was your mum's car and make it easy for the next guy because it's probably going to be you. Half arsedness has killed the industry, electrical tape holding sensors together and brake bolts rounded off etc. We could go on all day
Can't say enough about this guy. He a role model. There needs to be a show just following him around all the time.... oh wait..
"The most complete spanner collection he'd ever seen." That made him feel like a proud father!!! So good.
He's a bit of a hoarder though. :P :D
Never have enough tools , he works with them all day , didn’t see one oil smudge on them , guys like “ wanna see my treasure chest “ opens his tool cab ha ha
James may would be proud of that kit
guy the the type of person no one will believe when he says "ive raced in the isle of man TT, ive set a load of world records" because he looks like a regular truck mechanic..
He is a regular truck mechanic
If more people were like this man we could call Britain Great again
Ok boomer
i bet he didnt vote for brexit
@PhreshFunk @Tom sbtv Neither of you do what you say. You're both 12 year olds trying to act the big one, Run a firm? Run your pants you pair a fuckwits. You'd reject freedom if you ever recognised it.
Absolutely. Brilliant bloke.
Lets make Britain great again
"You've got to be passionate about summat" Very true, unfortunately many many people never find summat.
The new Fred Dibnah, good on you Guy you're a breath of fresh air.
Fred Dibnah/Eddie Redmayne 😬👍👍👍👍👍
🇬🇧👍
THIS MAN HAS A NATURAL PASSION AND LOVE FOR TRUCKS.
The man who would go on a date with Cameron Diaz simply because of pudding. And the fact she might have something to say. Legend.
I think he meant 'pudding'.
My Father always used to say "Find a Job you Love and you will never work a day in your life." he also used to say "A Job is not complete until you clean up after yourself" I wish more ppl thought this way.
Your father used a very popular and well known phrase, well done.
@@KarlPilkington89 I’ve never heard the second part before.
Some fans saw these years ago, but have so much love for the pride Guy has in his work. If only more people in other walks of life had the same, we’d be in a better place! 👍🏼
I’d watch Guy all day. A proper mechanic.
Don't get many proper mechanics today.
“I’m not good at many things” pfftt biggest lie of the year, we are on to you guy its all over the tv
Do it right, do it once and radio 4. Guy you are a real role model.
Haha “and pudding..” love that as the crux of it
i was just baffled he had to think about it for so long XD
„You gotta be passionate about something“. So true. I‘m sad for people who never find their passion except for those who are too lazy to look for it.
"Do it well do it once" so true
(edited).. You done it twice? :P
Measure twice, cut once.
Do it right the first time cause it takes twice as long to do it the second.
This is a man you can really learn something from. No froth or bull he speaks the truth. More talent than he would ever admit to.
Humble as Not many people can say they love their job as much as he does. Lucky man
Guy Martin is a true inspiration
Give this man from Grimsby a good cup of tea, a radio, comfy blue pair of overalls and an engine and he’s a happy chap ☺️
Guy Martin...1 10mm spanner short of a dozen!, you made the TT what it is. Will always be missed from the racing there, Utter Legend!
Regan Stilwell he’s still alive
@@treeman765 I though wtf did he die!?
He means missed at the TT
Regan Stilwell he's still alive! Delete this
Pretty sure regan means missed from the TT not meaning he’s dead!
the world needs a Guy Martin/James May crossover show where they just rebuild old motorcycles and stuff... very slowly :)
“The Clutch….” “Hesitation!” 🤣
Probably the only mechanic in the world that hasn't lost his 10mm tools.
As a retired mechanic I know where he is coming from, a lot of people just think we grease nipples, they do not realize the the lives of people are in our hands, literally. It is a great source of pride that I never killed anyone.
It's a miracle I've never killed anyone
When he says he has 11x10mm spanners, he's like a 12 yr old kid, who once dreamed of a wkd tool box and has the realisation his life is complete. Everything from here is just gravy for Guy, awesome stuff
"the detail doesnt matter...but, it does, it does"...Guy Martin Proper lifetime quote everyone can stand to live by.
Great portrait of Guy 👍🇬🇧
When guy opened his tool shelf my ocd was very happy 😂
I love how down to Earth Guy is. He seems like the most honest, passionate, hard working bloke. Not a bad bone in him. He's like the Keeanu Reeves of the truck world.
I had no idea he was a truck mechanic. What a great bloke. He won't die wondering, that's for sure :-)
This is a proper British top bloke lol
The world's a better place with guy in but please let's have more of him. 👏👍😁
My passion is sitting on the couch watching movies. Absolutely brilliant!
Guy, your philosophy of life is utterly perfect. So refreshing, thank you so much.
The guy is so watchable every time there’s a guy Martin program on tv I record it he’s great a down to earth normal man 😊
Guy has some of the nicest British teeth I've ever seen.
Humble af. A bloke angel 😇
This is actually a really good advert for selling his lorry
Ole Guy has a couple screws that have loosened up a bit but in the best possible ways. A true sweet heart to boot.
Guy breaks multiple world records, rebuilds a Spitfire, 17 times on the TT podium, rides for MotoGP. "What am I good at? M.O.T." Humblest guy in the world. What a legend.
Not good enough to get a MotoGP ride.
Not good enough for MotoGP, stay off the Vodka.
I'm always surprised at how many people are surprised with his life choice. A true enigma.
A man of simple passions genuinely happy in his work . A lesson for us all
The farm I work on are going to get a couple of their trucks serviced by Guy (hopefully) I would love to go along just to meet him, take a few beers and shake his hand haha
Alcohol doesn’t interest him. Take some teabags👍
@@motosnape He does like a pint though!
I'd love to meet him
@@motosnape He likes a Corona. Seems like a piss take to say that at the moment. But he does like a pint.
Did you get to meet him after?
I love how is attitude changed when he heard. And puddin 😂😂😂
Guy Martin the Wolverine of England and i love his shows.
Not to many people understand where he's coming from. I feel lucky to. It's a passion.
I'm completely blown away that Guy Martin has a daytime job that isn't motorcycle racing. I figured that if me, being an American, knew about Guy then he had to be famous and well off to the point where he didn't need a day job. Maybe he is. Maybe he works for fun. But it looks like he loves it, which is rare and he is lucky, and it looks like he does it well. I was also shocked when Guy said he didn't do many things well. He's very humble...maybe too humble. Great stuff!
First class, he is a great example of work ethic and attitude in both professional and leisure activities.
Dont think there is a more honest, down to Earth person on TV....
“My job is my passion”. Martin is living a dream.
I'm a welder and I've listened to radio 4 since I was 7. I know exactly where he's coming from.i also used to drive a scrapyard crane and would be laughed at when it came to break time and someone else would take over and discover what radio channel I had on .small minds .the saying goes the mind is like a parachute it doesn't work if it's not open Guy is a true man of the world
What a Guy.
Guy Martin can be another wolverine in X-Men based upon his looks...🙂
He is a strange dude but a legend at the same time , i can not think of any other man you can say that about
Guy’s a very genuine person,similar traits to Fred dibnah. Hard working,humble,no airs or grace’s just sees life as it really is and gets on with it.
The vegas option nearly got him with the naughty possibilities 😂😂😂
Would love to see the ten things guy can’t live without
A nice mad man.
If you told Guy Martin there was a record for the world's fastest morning shit he'd break that record tomorrow morning.....God bless the lad!
Those Snap-On wrenches are beautiful
What a truck,I say what a truck.
A breath of fresh air is Guy. Proper!
Guy is never boring
And I struggle to put up a toilet roll holder. Can't help but admire this chaps honesty and passion.
my father would love this guy. he was a mechanic. a dam good one and was always proud of a job that was well done. over the years he was lucky enough to have worked on everything from boats to aircraft. at one stage he was working on fire engines and he said their rough as hell on the gear but if they could break it, he could fix it. recon you two would have got on like a house fire.
Guy feels like the type you go get a cup of tea with not a beer.
Nobody quite like Guy Martin. A one off. A modern Fred Dibnah plus. Love him.👍
I've been watching freds videos and that man was INCREDIBLE. I'm from the states and had never heard of him but if you were two put these two mad men together it would be sensory overload
Say it twice, but do it once. What a legend.
It's about fulfilment. Can you imagine a world where everyone was like Guy (and me) and had a job they enjoyed and embraced in this way? The down side would be, mass unemployment in the entertainment industry and licenced trade. No need for them.
Been a Millwright/Machinist/Machine Builder for 35 years now and yes,we are doctors. Just keep the passion going,clean machines,dirty hands. Cheers Mate.
Guy please go TT the king of the road !!!!!!!A king without a crown will ask for it!
Guy Martin was born with an inner harmony and a true grasp of the elusive unknown the rest of we mere mortals are aimlessly striving for.
Amazing bloke so glad I met you at snap on distribution centre in sherburn in elmet many years ago. True legend 👍🏻👍🏻
Guy Martin you never fail to impress me, your honest down to earth approach to life and your humility are a rare character not found in many people, you Sir are a genuine One Off.
Wow if only we all had and took as much pride in our jobs as Guy does the world would be an even better place. Guy is an inspiration with his mindset and I thank him for sharing it with us all. Kettles on if your ever down Devon way bud
Guy Martin for PM!
Proud/humble mechanic, always a pleasure to watch your natural enthusiasm.
Guy Martin is a very intelligent man
This is so cool, do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life! Guy’s a legend
this guy is a one off. fantastic person
I agree, there is so much job satisfaction in getting a job RIGHT !!
Guy is my hero. Norhing wrong with liking to be by yourself and work.
You can never have too many 10 and 13mm spanners!
Guy is literally the Bob Ross of mechanics
A Honest Legend
If you own a car you should be able to fix it when something happens to it. Dr Martin will always be in demand.
Such a great GUY!
Thanks Guy 😀 keep them coming
Love this man! His attitude is admirable
Keep on keeping on guy! A real man’s man!
What a crazy but likeable man XD
Well done. Always a good humble Guy!
Amazing guy! His passion is inspirational!!
