    Finally the Mclaren 720's is on the road, thanks to a little trick from Mclaren! It wasnt easy though from buying it crash damaged in Amsterdam to having to swap the whole tub and rebuild the 720s from scratch. Now ive got to finish it....

      Matt's nature does motivate you like that doesn't it but just remember, Matt has "paid his school fees" with working on cars, meaning he has put the time in to have great knowledge/experience of cars, but also Google and other avenues in modern life help a lot to get it done. As Brandon said first, start with something cheap and see if it is something that you take to or it just gets tedious to you

Your dad is a real character & could have his own channel but glad he & Matt part of yours!

    I did comment that Freddie’s McLaren did the same thing when he first started his up (complete guesswork as I wouldn’t have a clue where to start when it comes to rebuilding a car) but I’m glad you’ve got it running and moving. Mat what an inspiration you are to so many, the attitude to never give up, that with every problem there is a solution is showing all generations not just the younger (I’m 50) to follow your dreams and with hard work and determination you can succeed. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🇬🇧
