Guy Martin, land speed record

[Mike Muz]

Don't really see him as a legend of the TT, not won anything. Joey is a legend, Mcguinness is a legend. Guy Martin seems like a nice guy, but he's not a legend.

He is a total headcase and a great character . I like his down to earth spade a spade nature . There are not enough characters in sport, that can't even break wind without getting the managers permission . I get the feeling we have a lot of characters on this forum too

Ach well, what would we know? Legend is not all about winning.

World Land Speed Record, quite a bit more than the British one...

And? He was going for the british record.

And? Well, it is related isn't it? I see it as particularly relevant as we are here discussing these things.

Not particularly relevant at all really, as John Howards record was topped in 1995 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Rompelberg

But that doesn't matter either, as Guy Martin was going for a British record.
