I quite like Guy Martin - love him or hate him you have to agree he's got far bigger balls that 99.999% of us - but I see him as a victim of TV/fame. He might not feel like a victim, especially with his earnings, but I don't think we quite see the bloke he really is. I don't know that for a fact, just a feeling I have.
I was quite irritated when they did a program on him working on the Vulcan bomber prior to the final flight - the program would have you believe he'd re-wired it and welded it up himself and did not give anywhere near enough credit to the hundreds of volunteers that have restored it and kept it going for years and years. I'm sure that wasn't his intention, he would not likely have seen the film himself until it was on the telly.
