  • 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.

      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

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.
