Turned up in his famous transit van.

There's film on Instagram of him in a Bug Pur Sang and Ferrari FXX

I've not met GM in person but he does sound like a top bloke

It's a shame he didn't bring his Volvo Amazon Estate

I think he worth a few bob these days.

Time for him to invest again!!!

A lot of people were talking about the price rises, I was playing it down however.

He is VERY enthusiastic about things - he was a bit standoffish on first approach as one might expect, but I asked if he wanted a trip down memory lane and rattled my keys at him. He asked what the car was, I said a CSL and his face lit up and we pretty much marched full pace to it and in he got. Mr Martin quizzed on the cost of the tyres (shocked at just over £500 for a set of cups these days), how long I'd had the car and said he very much regretted at parting with his.

It's a car that stays with its owners.

Rick

never met him in person but seen him on the island. THE BEST rider never to win a race. I just hope he gets the win in 2016 as he's intimated retirement from the TT.

Check out "Close to the Edge" 2010 TT film/documentary.

The car belongs to the chap in the tracky with shades on at the start. His lad is at the side of Guy in the car.

Hilarious reaction from Mr. Martin
