      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

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.

    I really really really like this man. My son sent me a wee short today of Guy outrunning a camera helicopter... It was amazing. So, I went online and watched some of his other stuff. I have to say he is one of the most down to earth yet driven people I've ever come across. His zest for what he does just lights him up. Clever. Loved the video where he wheels his Merlin engine out into a field and starts her up. Got emotional over that I have to say. Anyway... He's a braw lad. Reminds me of Fred Dibnah in many ways. Pleasure to 'meet' you Guy. 👍

      Now if Fred Dibnah had met Guy Martin , give them time and resources, they'd have started another industrial revolution and saved this country 👍🇬🇧
