I’m a woman in my 70’s and avidly watch every video with my husband. You come across as a person who sets an amazing standard of what a person should be. Well done.
Beautiful name Florence
Wow, thank you!
@@aj3852 w rizz gang
That’s actually so cool haha, bet Matt would be thrilled to see this
That's so ace
Been following Matt since the TT and no one deserves the success he’s had more than him. Such a genuine nice guy and the editing and quality of his videos are next level. Even in the early days his effort into editing I believe is what made his channel blow up
*Mat*
Yeah 100%, I met him at festival of speed and he was so nice
And he hasn't made the mistake many YTubers do and thats to deviate away from what has made him successful, he keeps it about the cars and the projects rather than about him.
Ditto 👍
@@superflyguy4488 That is what the second channel is for 😂
I met Mat with my wife and kids at Gravity show 2022. He was very kind and friendly. And Hanna gave my little boy a free airfreshener with Kevin's face on it. One of the things that he said to me that stood out was something on the lines of, he enjoys these shows and meeting people as most of his life is spent in the garage fixing the cars. He's worked so hard and deserves his success. Good luck Mat.
And yet his girlfriend - not wife - makes all the money as a diector of a side company through his car "raffles".... yeah, it should make you think.
@@zildog the same girlfriend who's supported him through the days when he worked in an Indian restaurant. WHO HURT YOU BRO 🤦🏽
@@zildogso what?
@@zildoghis girlfriend was with him since his bmx days when he was working like 13hours a day, get a life
Mat is a guy that does not need marketing. His personality is magnetic. That is rare.
Mat's rebuilds are brilliant and interesting but it's Mat himself that really makes the channel. He is such a likable guy, really engaging and entertaining. The team around are great too. I hope the channel keeps goes exactly where he wants it.
I'm really liking your work too Ben. It's a great podcast.
100%
And his GF
Yes it's Mat himself, his a special one they all are a likable bunch of people. His dad makes me smile 😃 😊. My kids love Kevin they think his cute and funny 😁 they like everyone but the dog wins lol
I'd say the main reason I started and continued to watch Mat's videos is because of how genuine is he. There's no BS, he's just clearly trying his best and having a laugh. Much deserved success!
Mat being Mat. And Mat, if you ever read this comment - I’m sure people come up to you not because you’re a YT star, but because they feel that you’re their mate. That’s how you come over on your videos….just a normal bloke having fun. Don’t ever change fella….you’re going to go far 👏👏👏👏👍
You can see how genuine Mat is and how he’s far more comfortable talking to camera than in person. He obviously has a very wise head on his shoulders and learns fast when it comes to his business model. The biggest thing about Mat over and above anything else is he’s so likeable and has remained true to himself. The Mat we saw rebuilding the TT is still the same Mat we see today (yes the builds have got bigger and the video quality better) but as a person he is no different. Great interview👍🇬🇧
Great story how mat evolved. One aspect that he doesn’t consider is, his personality is part of his appeal. He comes across as genuinely excited and passionate about what he’s doing, if he had a bland personality, I doubt his channel would have become as successful.
I am not surprised his videos are so popular, he is hard working, affable, genuine, truthful and informative, and has chosen a subject universally interesting, as others have said, he deserves every bit of success ....... keep going all the way Mat 👍🙏
His work ethic is why he's a success, not many people give it 100% to get to where they wanna be 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Matt is killing it and we luv his genuine personality. Couldnt of happened to a nicer guy! Shout out to Tony, Hanna and Kevin 😊
Matt is a totally genuine and humble guy, that really shines through in his content. The rebuilds are very aspirational, rebuilding super cars form scrap that normally regular folk could otherwise never afford. Matt is out there doing what every weekend Garage warriors dream is to do. I love the relationships he has with his Dad, Girlfriend and his mates. They are all in it with him and they are focused on the one goal. Good luck Matt in all you do.👍
I love all of Mats videos. Found him a few months ago and have watched most of his builds. I think the fact he’s genuine is a reason he’s exploded in growth.
This was a fantastic interview, I love success stories like this, grass roots to high highs… I knew Matts life was going to spiral upwards since his first TT video. He has such a positive outlook on life, and it’s going on like a family business now, seeing his dad and girlfriend all the time is refreshing. Nothing seems too much for him and I know he mentions he does some “sketchy things” but he learns as he goes and never puts anything or anybody down. Again, brilliant interview, thanks very much
I watch all Mat`s videos, he is very down to earth and it is great to see his Dad, Hannah and mates enjoying their builds. No BS.
Matt just comes across as such a nice, genuine guy and I really hope he smashes CZcams records in the future. Just keep on doing what you're doing, dude! Oh and great interview too!!
Sometimes when i feel like giving up i think of Matt doing his hustle. This guy is amazing 🙌
I've said this before, followed Matt from the TT days. Love the humbled attitude with the confidence that's growing with his mechanical ability! And getting your dad onboard is probably his greatest genius ❤️
Superb content Wasn't boring and great to hear stories from a realist about past present and future..We all wish you well mat and fam upwards and onwards🎉
Mat seems such a genuine, honest, hardworking guy. Good luck to him!!
Matt Armstrong a genuinely great person and an honest and very humble guy. Every success to you. 👍
A really consistent theme going on with people I've been listening to about pivoting from selling your time to your selling your skills
Great interview. I think Mat has a good shot at being the biggest car repair CZcamsr, he is so genuine and his excitement and enthusiasm really come across and make his viewers excited too.
One thing the video shows is just how hard Matts worked, he’s put so much effort in to his dreams and they’ve worked and he thoroughly deserves it. Love his channel, love his enthusiasm and long may his videos continue.
*Mat*
Good performance from the interviewer. Exellent engagement and interview questions, kept it intresting and fun, great sense of humour. Well done.
Thanks so much! Taken a while to get used to how to present podcasts etc but if feels like its coming together 😃
Good for you Mat. Everyone's routing for you, including me. Love the videos and its so nice to see a genuinely nice guy succeeding.
Awesome Podcast, great to hear from Matt. Its harder than everyone thinks to do well on YT!
Love Matt im not a car person in particular but love this channel and can’t wait for the weekly videos to pop up. Well done to all involved an inspiration
Anything matt touches will turn to gold. He's a genuine person with a good soul, best of luck to him.
Seemingly an honest and genuine guy, have only been watching the channel for a while but have greatly enjoyed it.
Great podcast and great to see Matts success , he truly deserves it. Gained a new subscriber 🙂
I found mat's channel a week ago and till now I watched over 40 videos , I love what he does. Good job mat , love from Syria/ Turkey
Love watching Mat's videos....keep doing what you're doing Mat, the way you do it😊
Love this, great interview from both sides of the mic 👏👏👏
Great interview. May is a really genuine and honest guy. So refreshing to watch a channel without any foul language. Keep up the good work.👍
I can just hear mats dad saying yeah do it with a straight face, then laughing.🤣
Love this guy, and all his crew and family, I'm a relatively new subscriber came in with the Lambo, no real interest in cars, not mechanically minded, and i don't drive. Yet find it really interesting. The personality from them all is what makes us tune in every video. Who hasn't dreamed of owning some of those cars! I follow Tavarish and Jack Builds It now too. Through following Matts content!
Love Matt and his father's team to fix these cars. Clean and fun entertainment. Good to see each car completed from it's original state.
I found his channel when he purchased the lambo and I've been hooked and now hooked on Freddies channel. The only thing I would say is Matt makes it look so easy I think I could build a car now.
Im 50 Young and recently discovered your channel (2-3 weeks ago and allmost finished playlists on main chan now 😂) After first video i was basically hooked. The mix of your positive and "lets try it" personality paired with your dads coolness and giggles + choice of seemingly crazy broken cars (the structural carbon i thought would be a spare part in the end tbf) makes it entertaining (and the sound of a Porsch ,Lambo,Ferrari engine first start helps)
Add no real car mechanic background makes it addictive to look at.
Sometimes wanna just jump in and say, why not make a groove for the o-ring instead if risking another engine teardown, but....its history now 😊 and you made it work, im still worried about that lambo o ring that leaked 3 times. I believe they milled the head = milled the o-ring grooves away and forgot to re-add them.
Waiting for last episodes on a few builds....patiently 😇
Great video guy's love the channels. Bumped in to Mat recently such a grounded guy. Family really nice to. Keep up the good work. HWBT defo.
Matt has found his Niche' in his young life. I wish him future success beyond today's. It's great to see somebody start something out of nothing and find a winning formula. 😊
Great video! Best podcast you’ve put out so far, can definitely tell you’ve taken on people’s constructive criticism and implemented it into the podcast. Well done 👏🏻
I appreciate that!
I know Matt channel since he rebuild the Audi S5 and still watch him every single time. well done mate
Such a top guy , there are so many of todays generation who expect the earth but are not prepared to put the work in to achieve it . They need to watch this , thats how you do it . Mat a inspiration to us all.
Love the channel Matt, wish you every success in the future 👍🏻
Matts enthusiasm and his ‘can do’ attitude is addictive viewing.
What Mat said about people finding his channel then watching the previous builds is 100%. I know nothing about cars but got totally hooked on it all. His and Freddy’s channels are now some of my favourites. He says hard work beats talent but truth is he is a talented lad - great editing, fun builds and not afraid to show mistakes. Makes us feel we are all learning on his journey with him 👍🏻
Summed it up at the end! People want it real. And Mat is 100% real
Matt you are really just so good in front of the camera I think we all just like watching you. plus doing a lot of the things with your dad is so special. fast cars are a bonus.
Really inspiring! What an amazing story and what an amazing guy!
Modern day entrepreneur an inspiration and a nice guy. Love your videos Mat.
there a lot of channels like matts but what makes him different is that he is having fun with the journey of fixing the cars and also honest that he is learning while in the process of fixing the cars. to be honest tavarish's channel was like that before but due to his videos coming out to far in between most people (like me) are looking for other videos with the same content to watch. there are a lot of rebuilding channels here but matt has been very entertaining while doing the rebuilds and you can see that in all his videos that even if he gets frustrated he always looks at the bright side of things.
Incredible journey of a very humble young man with an outstanding supportive father. Mat you have a very characteristic personality with a great vision, well done mate
He is an artist.Film him working on cars without the editing and nobody would watch.Being a gearhead myself I respect the fact that he jumps in and figures it out.Also,how he tracks down the parts he needs just blows my mind.That takes alot of time and patience.I really like Tony as well and I wish my dad was as involved in my life.
I just discovered Matt's channel and loved watching all his videos and energy!
Brilliant video lads. Great to see Matt so successful with his CZcams channel
It has been two days of my best life watching 3hrs videos of Matt, insane right, I'm not that patient but boy oh boy this guy is super amazing.I appreciate your love for cars and the great job you put to give life back to the crashed cars ❤❤❤.
Never heard of this channel before.
Have been a Mat Armstrong 'fan' for quite a while so finally clicked to watch this vid after ignorong it for a few weeks.
Subbed.
This vid was bang on the money (bar the iffy sound at one point!), and I'd not realised how much I'm intersted in this side of CZcams. The interview was well researched, well conducted with intelligent Qs asked, and Matt was obviously a great interviewee with very revealing honesty and his good nature.
Trouble is, I'm sat here now trying to figure out what i need to do to get off the rat race conveyerbelt! Think one of my problems is I have too many varied interests and most successful people seem to be more focussed in a single direction. I haven't given up on this dream but not going to give up the day job just yet!
Awesome guy, i had bought my S5 at the same time his video got out and used it a lot to help do my mods. Great guy, great story, all the best for him in the future.
Been following you since the beginning keep them cars coming
Most likeable thing about Matt is his personality hasn't changed since his earliest videos such a humble bloke, watched the latest Lambo build in awe of his technical and mechanical ability.
*Mat*
Matt Armstrong is a genuine nice guy and deserves all of his success. His content is great.
Very enjoyable podcast. Matt, the reason we follow the M5, is because that's the car we have or can afford. Ferrari's are great, but unaffordable for most. Keep up the good work, it's wonderful to see your progression.
Matt Armstrong is the first CZcamsr whos ads I actually enjoy as part of the video and don't skip
Great insight from a super energetic, honest, inquisitive and fun guy.
What is interesting and surprising is that CAR VERTICAL doesn't include the history of a car that's been at auction. That should be an easy addition to show previous auctions a car has been listed on.
Great Show! Mat's a Beast! Love his content.
I love your videos. Thank you Matt I can't stop watching your videos.
Cheers Mat ❤ Loved it as always....
Hi Mike I watched the interview. And I see a fantastic guy who has literally worked for everything he’s got. People can’t stand to see your success in life. But you said you had nothing after leaving school.
I take my hat off to you Mike. In this country people would rather see failure. You are living proof that
The same opportunities are out there for any young guy to take up and make something in life.
What a nice Guy. All the Best Mike
Only just found Matt and watched all his stuff. Very entertaining
I used to work with mat when i was younger. I remember seeing the TT and him telling me that he bought it from the insurance. He is a real sound guy
Met him at Goodwood, what a lovely lad and thoroughly deserves the success.
Matts a huge inspiration for myself with just starting my own automotive youtube channel.
I've been watching his videos since the TT. When I saw the 996 GT3 series I was like damn, I could've met him up there (I live in Florida) lol. He just seems like he deserves every bit of fame and fortune he gets. He's the most sincere person I think I've ever seen in the world of self made digital creators. I'd love to meet him and mentor under him, maybe he could do that next, I'd be interested. Anyways, really awesome interview, you've gained a follower in the States with this one.
Been following since the TT when i was youtubing how to fix my own car. Definitely the best youtuber.
Wow Mat, you are amazing. I wish you every continued success.
You two complement one other . The content is interesting to listen to . Long may it reign .
Love Mat’s channel! Here’s what people aren’t factoring in….the labor that he doesn’t have to “pay”! That’s where people are loosing money. To have a team of family and close friends is amazing!
Thanks for the videos Matt. Just want to point this out the success of top gear was also down to the personalities of Clarkson, May and Hammond. You also have this yourself Matt. I think your fun and easy to watch so well done you only just discovered you so I’m another follower. Thanks again.
Good point!
Great universe, and I am one of Matt’s followers been for the last year or so, and I’m no car geek, but I absolutely love his videos. I’m very amazed at the stuff he turns out regardless and truly hope he goes onto bigger and bigger things and can’t wait to see him do the Bugatti one day.
I have only recently started following Matt after seeing him on the Gumball Rally. I am impressed with how he has been able to create his brand. I am a late bloomer with youtube and now follwoing 150 channels many car channels as part of my viewing pleasure. I dont watch commercial TV so this is a perfect alternative. Keep up the good work Matt
Matt you are unique your paasion and work attituide is great and love for what you do ignor negative commments ive only just joined and to behonest i cant stop watching all the best buddy
That's exactly why I love mats channel, which I just found, I'm doing same thing with property, I don't know squat about cars but love cars. It's the best channel on CZcams
I’ve been watching Mat since he worked on his girlfriends 1 series BMW.He’s a breath of fresh air on CZcams.Always sitting in wait for his next video.He deserves all the success he gets.
Great video well done. Love Matt and his adventure. Made me laugh when he said escape the matrix and buy and rent houses. He’s been on a property training programme I’m sure.
Not forgetting that Yorkshire Car Restoration has Matts BMW 635 CSI and doing the body work - their channel has picked up a load of subs because of Matt.
*Mat*
Love Mat's channel. He brings something different to the table, even though he's doing the same thing as a bunch of others including Tavarish, I enjoy Mat's personality more than the others
Just can’t wait for the next one he makes you feel like your helping him do it just got to be the best CZcamsr fantastic MATT,
Banger. Not sure how you’re going to top this but I’m sure you have plans!
Matts point of difference other than his advanced skill level is his down to earth personality, he always appeals on an equal level.
Brilliant Podcast . Nice one Mat and Ben
The two the guys that deserve all of this are Matt and Joe Achilles.
Genuine journeys, hard work ethic, dope content (helping idiots like me understand more) and risk tolerance.
Always take risk. Comfortable makes us weak. It’s gruelling at times, yet working out what you need to do to stay in the game and executing that strategy is the difference between success and failure.
Stay relevant, and deliver, consistently. Much, much harder than people believe.
Bless Mat. He seems a really awesome guy
I’d have to agree with everyone else mat comes across as a really nice bloke , glad he’s been successful
Great insight into Mats channel
Mat is a great Hustler...Love all his videos
Fantastic interview Ben.
I'll admit my shallowness; I wouldn't generally give this type of guy a second glance, but he has (on screen) very much proven the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" very true. Amongst a crowd of very pretentious automotive "CZcamsrs", his personality shines, and appears to be an extremly likeable guy.
In addition to his persona, there are two more outstanding features of his channel. The first is the amount of content in each video. He gives the viewer a lot of content in every video, whereas the majority of the "competition" will string viewers along, and frankly often leave them disappointed at the end of a video. Mat always ends a video on a high, and that's extremely commendable. Second, the production is simply first class. The editing, sound, flow, are worthy of some kind of award. Considering all of this is self-taught, including the scripting/filming/editing, it's inspiring. In my humble opinion, Mat does indeed seem worthy of becomming the world's biggest automotive CZcamsr.
