I made the same mistake about the pictures on the last topic. 
They're mine - ok with me to use them, though, so no worries. Took loads more if there's any interest...I did a lap yesterday morning just before this happened.

The Land-Rover vehicle, driven by a man from Lezayre, travelling towards Cronk-y-Voddy.

just watched ITV4's buildup to the TT
they had an absolutely cracking video of Guy Martin doing 2 laps at an average speed of about 129mph. 16 minutes of uninterrupted footage with great commentary
Best bit's gotta be Guy's commentary ".....I can't remember the name of this bend". He even made channel 5's news on Friday night (didn't understand a word he said!!!).they had an absolutely cracking video of Guy Martin doing 2 laps at an average speed of about 129mph. 16 minutes of uninterrupted footage with great commentary
Good luck to Guy, he seems to be a normal bloke (like most roads racers) enjoying what he's good at.
