    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!
