The Vanborghini it’s not real, can’t hurt you
Also the Vanborghini:
It is usual to put 'therapist:' before the first sentence
What??
This is how Amazon Prime gets that two day delivery
Honestly one of my favorite people. Knows how to work on his own stuff, very particular and easily one of the best personalities around. It would be an honor to meet him some day. Keep up all the great work Guy.
Agreed, proper man's man.
Well said. I would love to have a pint and a chat with Guy.
Absolutely a legend , genuine man , with amazing talent.
Love it.
he is a great guy. fastest hayabusa coming soon
The trouble with Guy is he don't make no where near enough of these amazing programs ....more I say ! More !.
right? he´s this genuine, simple person, and it is a blast to just listen to him! he could be explaining how popcorn is grown and make it sound spectacular! him and James May!
160 mph is no joke. That’s insanely scary.
And in a fuckin transit van, fucking hell I bet sitting up that high going 160-170 is absolutely mad but also beautiful
@@mariewarrington992 The lad is epic I would have shit my self in a Transit at that speed.
People hit that in super karts down the straight, amazing machines and racers..
Drag cars reach that in the quarter mile.
@@MmeHyraelle Except drag cars are built only for that, the van is not.
Always a big smile of appreciation and a small tear of admiration...😂
There's few things in life as enjoyable as watching Mr. Martin going fast!
Was privileged to be part of building the van. Good times and long night's
Good work on your part, Thank you for putting this into the world.
Fantastic, i bet it feels good 😌 to see your work with guy at the wheel.😎👍
This has to be one of the odder things I’ve seen...a giant 160mph toaster. How delightful.
Guy Martin, u are an inspiration , a legend and a lunatic....and this coming from a transit lover, bike punishing nut job myself...
Impressive van and the winner's timing was equally impressive!!!!
I built the fuel cell for the van :)
Great job
Wicked
Awesome fete 🥳 man.
Why aren't called the real Engineer?
I just want to know if Guy closed the deal with that bird at Pikes Peak
I'm pretty sure he's married to an Irish lass, so he probably didn't seal the deal.
THAT was fun to watch ....nice job!
Guy is The King of Speed. "Nuf zed!" Keep up the good work, mate. A lot of love from Sweden.
As a lifelong van owner and all around Van Fan for their utility and cool factor (70’s), I enjoyed this.
Guy’s van make all the right noises, performs incredibly and look’s awesome.
I know he’s taken it in the Nuremberg ring.
I know he’s ridden a bike on Pikes Peak.
The logical next step would be taking the van up Pikes Peak!
BnQ can't tell me I have to wait 3 days on delivery anymore.
Light Owl nice one mate!!
Guy is a fucking legend. I love everything he does. Can’t get enough.
I just love Transit vans. Couple that with Guy Martin it makes for perfect watching. Wonderful entertainment!
In Germany you can see those with vans driving totally chilled with about 120-130 mph on the left lane
Totally true (have done it myself with a Sixt Van) but it's a completely different story to go 50mph faster than 120mph! That's over 270kph vs a bit over 200kph (GPS speed, not speedo indicated).
there is kmh ffs
Those are usually plumbers or other contractors commuting to a construction site. Which means they have the back full of heavy stuff.
@@Yora21 yeah so when they crash they're stuck in a death box with all their tools and shit flying around lmao.
@@zigabelej6716Však taky myslel 190-210 km/h akorát to převedl, aby tomu rozuměli Angličané, Američané, Australani a podobně.
Looking forward to this series, excellent
Hi there :) old colleague of Ben Tindale from decades ago, gotta say i love your work, loved your boat
Congratulations!! So fast for the van! Good work Guy!! :D
Each time I watch this I still smile.
Just amazing:
And Guy is one top bloke
Beauty & the beast, all in one! What a monster, I love it!
“No allergies” O+. Me too bud
Guy Martin the VERY HUMBLE GENTLEMAN && his need for speed has become my new addiction.. Lol As always, BRAVO my British Brother.. Way to keep your head up && the wheels down... 👏🙏💪
I LOVE SPEED WITH GUY MARTIN
Would love to see the van reach top speed. :)
Called into moody one day and guy was there servicing a scania. Nice guy. He had his van there. Some motor
I can understand how Guy has such a huge fan base/followers. I've only watched 2 of his videos & what's not to like??
World bicycle speed record and gravity racer are highlights for you to check out then....also the same van around nurburgring.. broke the lap record before crossing the line fully on fire.
Guy Martin is my hero.
A few curves that's technical :)
Ford an American brand
Transit formerly the Thames van (British icon)
Took ford 50 yrs to adopt it stateside
Someone needs Sacking
Rename it Guys Van respect
WELL...it's me again Guy from Italy .. i keep watching all your videos.. the boat that Guy built.. speed with Guy Martin.. i did get a pay per view on channel 4 .. really hard from italy because it is only GB content ... ANND ... i still get some pieces i was missing... an axperience a smile a thing not said that let me see from the video how much you're throw in into stuff that makes you happy ... likes every motor related stuff and so on... you reminds me something like me... i bet you got some self built purpose wrenches on your truck repair shop.. i bet it ... because i do so .. Cheers from italy Guy
Guy is just my favourite.
Right, this is going on the bucket list.
Jesus, my LDV Convoy feels like a ship at sea in gale force 8 winds at 30mph! 😂
I remember those ldv vans, like you say, big land barges lol 😂
Words fail me........what a Guy!
WOW what an expediter ! Deliveries at 160mph. Who would be crazy enough to go that fast in a VAN! Watch out for crosswinds.
Niiiiiiiiiice. Sun Valley Tour de Force, NO SPEED LIMIT, C'MON GUY!
"He went for second, and missed second. Then he went for second again, and missed it again." All the racing and riding guy has done, I find it difficult to believe he was having a hard time missing second. I think their "fix" caused other problems.

Why do i love his voice so mutch?
I want that van please 🙏 need a work truck and that van is sick blacked out. Love this channel. Guy can race anything. Such a class act 😊👍
Gotta love the enthusiasm.
Guy - if you're reading this - that was MEGA! Sabine Schmitz would be proud (and jealous).
Kris A Guy should have had her sitting on his lap! Bet she would have loved that?
Man we need this channel to blow up... lets get this Guy some subscribers. Absolutely love everything he does.
I've just subbed - Guy is awesome.
257kph on van is really not a joke.. i would die if i'm at the backseat..
Nice one guy,
Stay safe matey, ✌💖
the Vanborghini is real
My favorite fast van still the "RENAULT ESPACE F1 V8 Engine prototype" made in the 1990's by the racing department of Renault , thank you for this video ! sounds better...
GUY IS THE BEST !
Excellent 👍👍👍
Guy martin is the man
Guy is the best
...Guy Martin is the Dogs Bollocks!!! Topman.🙏🍻🔨🔨🔨
At 170mph “I’m happy.” Translates to I’m not crapping my pants anymore.
Try calling that section "Narrow" on the Isle Of Man and you'll get laughed at.
guy is the kinda guy id love as a mate. Not got any like but still. He's Into all the shit I like but I reckon in my transit if still have em lol. Still top notch though geezer
Replace my transit with his and ill be unstoppable
good job guy :-)

Fred Dibnah on speed
So true.
I see they added a fire extinguisher Haha
160mph in a big van with all those crumple zones and metal shielding. This guy (no pun intended) does 200mph on a motorbike with just his leathers between him and the tarmac
Guy Martin Frenesí....para mim ele é o melhor piloto que conheci...
Autêntico e não se vende pras indústrias de morte que não respeita à vida, nem Jesus. 🤝🏾 haaa!Guy me de um capacete com sua logomarca 😌 vc pode.

Ford transit 👌😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏
This is all great ... but where's my package?

Take a loan out on a couple cheap properties and charge rent for people thats twice your mortgage! Theres your package.
@@andrewharwood7702 I don't know ... seems like a couple of years and the US will sell us all their debt again. All this stuff with the chinese, they surely won't pay the price of their own foolisheness, guess well see who will be the less fortunate ones this time around.
Guy u es mon idole j s8 sénégalais for ever guy
I used to drive my simi tractor trailer on that road.50 mph was about max speed for the narrows.I have seen lots of trucks and trailers wrecks there.simi trucks and rock walls don't mix.

This man makes me proud to be from grimsby, what a guy
I remember back in the early 90's ..
92/93 getting absolutely fucked up on ecstacy in some shitty club in Grimsby.
We fucking loved it !!!
The E's were probably off the boats from Holland.
We called them fish fingers 🤣
They were 100% top quality north sea pills.
After that I always ❤️'d Grimsby.
M62
M18
M180
Fucking yes !!!
Vauxhall Nova SR
Canary Yellow.... Chavtastic,
Before chavs even appeared.
Burberry hat 1990's 😂
Bring it on ...... Fucking BIG ❤️ for GRIMSBY
gotta love guy! awesome person. :-) its not in guys nature to go slow.
Or quit
I was there, 83 miles down course.
Like that Top Gear episode where Sabine almost does the Nurburgring under 10 minutes in a stock transit van.
Silver State Classic
Welp..gotta go work on the Minivan now
Things to do a Guy Martin list ;
Race motor bikes
Race cars
Race on salt lakes
Race vans
Race snails ..... might skip this one !
So his next project is a Nissan Escargot (S-cargo)?
The infamous snail car
aw man the codriver looked gutted that he fucked up but fuck it guy is just happy to go fast af in his van lol
Now to make a 200mph transit van
The van they are in would do it, you saw yourself he had to tell him to slow down at 170 and he said he's barely touching the gas to keep it at 160.
@@stpbasss3773 Yep. 1/3rd throttle. It was geared to 202.
guy is the coolest person and that van goes like fcuk
170+ mph in a transit, that's insane
Holeeeeee...trading in my race car for a van....Gotta love Vegas
What race car is that?
@@droceretik metaphorically spoken mate
next stop, Nurnberg ring vs Sabine Schmitz heheheheheheeeee
A lot of people dont realise that there was two plasterers two joiners and a bricklayer sitting in the back on wooden benches.
they lost by going too fast.
Guy Martin: We survived at 160+ in a transit van!! Phew!
Also Guy Martin: Flies through a narrow road in Isle of Man at 170 mph on his sportsbike
I remember ordering the Silver State Classic video on VHS back in 1988. It might have actually been the second annual run of the race, but the first to be filmed. The winner of that race was not a Ferrari Testarossa (as there were a couple featured that ran--one crashed and killed the passenger and injured the driver, a husband and wife team; the crash was not caught on tape but the aftermath was), but rather a tube-framed 1969 Camaro that is still around (Big Red) and from a recent video is still street-legal as the owners have continued to register it for the street. It ran an average of 19X mph, and hit a top speed of 240 mph. I am not sure if they had speed classes at the time, or if the race was an 'open' run, but the cars featured on the video were all running open. I was 19 years old when I ordered the video, and even before 'bucket lists' became trendy, I had decided to enter this race. Now, at 50, with budgetary considerations, I have lessened this bucket list item to actually go and watch this race, lol.
I watched that VHS many times as a kid and loved it. Used to rent it from the video store regularly. If my memory serves me correct the person who survived the crash was ejected from the Ferrari.
@@lukekirkby5304 Yes, it was a husband and wife team; the wife died and the husband was thrown out of the car and survived. Now that my memory was jarred a bit, I do recall discussing this with someone waaaaaay back in the day who was connected with pro/amateur racing. From what I recall, there was a lawsuit filed by the injured man against Ferrari. The Testarossa came from the factory with VR rated tires; rated up to 150 mph, yet the Ferrari could hit near or over 180 mph. The racing organization originally banned the guy due to having only VR rated tires knowing his car could do much more, and he threatened to sue them for not letting him in, so they relented and let him race. His argument was that was the tire from Ferrari. He might have tried to sue the Silver State Classic organization, but obviously he did not shut them down.
Great drive
Maybe a GPS reading might eliminate the tyre swelling issue
160 odd fit that amount of time is good that's a well built engine
When you order 1-day delivery
For Guy this must feel like a doddle compared to the IOM TT.
And I'm proud to be an American, God bless the USA🎶
