The man is a national treasure. He reminds me so much of Fred Dibnah, hard working, enthusiastic about everything and a very nice bloke. Absolutely amazing man that I would love to meet one day for sure!

Better to have fought and lost than never fought at all. Long live the Trabby

Living in Lincolnshire I would love to meet Guy! He`s a man after my own heart when it comes to building race machines of any kind! Total legend!

Think the race officials should have put more thought into the race before hand. Pretty poor show of organization. Bloody cool little cars though.

My ex-wife grew up in Prague - they had a Trabant which they went out on weekends and she said it was a great little car. Love the smell of two strokes.

Guy Martin is such an amazing man. Fame has not changed him one little bit. How many celebrities can you say that about? Always stay the same Guy. Top Man :)

That is silly, to let them start and then pull them out. One could easily calculate the speed difference beforehand,

Would love to see Guy in a time attack race. Or building a car and racing through the different classes.

Thinking the race officials could have given the three Trabants a winner take all lap after the end of the race. What would it have hurt n believe the crowd would have appreciated the little angry bees!!!

Guy took it really well. Those toy cars made me laugh. Funnest race I've ever watched. Those smoky little cars are cool.

A joke told in Germany just after the wall came down and Trabants started flooding west German streets:
A Trabant stops next to a cow pat. The cow pat asks "What are you then?" The Trabant replies: "I'm a car!"
"If you are a car, I'm a pizza!"

Nippy little thing, somehow made it look cool as well.

Whats that zappophets car from the ukes. other side of the iron curtain.. same side... different though. zappophets.... It was in TETRIS I think.

[mkuehn]

i'll say it because no one else has. the track officials made a mistake in handicapping. i fail to believe they would condescend that the drivers were not skilled to handle new conditions. "it's too dangerous" is a direct reflection of their opinion of the drivers. or someone must have complained. "after three laps"? makes them look incompetent.
they were concerned for the safety of the Trabant drivers. not known for collision safety.
anyone else notice Guy taking the outside of turns to allow room for faster cars?

Should put something like a Yamaha R-1 engine with a Turbo in it ..
