Can people chill out on the comments to the bodyshop please guys 🙏 I’ve used them for years always done a mint job and all my cars. 1 mistake which was rectified by them instantly is no sweat 😅. The car looks mega and that’s all that counts 🙏
Respect
I personally never made a comment on the body shop, however i will just say, i do completely realise why they didn't tell you about the damage,
Is it skammy/dishonest, maybe... however its a one off mistake.
Thats just how all businesses operate, if they all admited to every one of their mistakes, they wouldnt last long financially, it just shows that you all have never owned a company before!!
Is abit naughty they didn’t tell you at the time, what would have happened a year down the line your word against theirs
Mat is a positive guy people so everyone needs to have the same attitude, if it doesn’t bother Mat then commenters need to chill out 😂👍🏻
Legend Carry on doing what you're doing mate.
Good for my mental health.❤
No need to buy wrecked cars anymore if you are your own supply 😂
This comment needs pinning ahahaha
Niiiiiice mate
😂😂😂😂🔥
Hahaha
Never get high off your own supply….
That's quite a cheeky move from the body shop. I wouldn't be happy if someone who I pay to do a job, causes damage, and then tries to hide it by sloppily repairing it and never owning up to it, until confronted by the customer.
Always be honest even if you mess up
They should have definitely confessed straight away. "We screwed up, but new part is ordered and on its way."
That way you get return business 9 times out of 10.
Yeah I'd be pissed, wouldn't be going back to them. They owned up to it he says, yeah only after they'd been caught out.
The thing that makes it worse is they would have taken full payment and smiled in his face, knowing what they had broken and thought they would get away with it. Something similar has happened to me at a different bodyshop, which im going through legals at the minute but I never thought a high profiled RUclipsr like Matt would experience this, especially when he documents everything and has a massive audience....Madness! I just hope the bodyshop learns from this L. Honesty is 🔑
LoL they know Mat damn good for years and still did something like this to him. Matness.
As it slid off the track you just know Tavarish was already planning the intro to his next video "I just bought the cheapest pink GT3 in the world..."
He already bought a cheap one off Mat last year 🤣
@@DylanS-zv4dc Well now he can have another one... Cheap... LOL 🤣
😂🙌🏼😂
Mat, I think it might be that haircut 😂
@@paulcrocker8232 or the black dye he uses
Matt's father is a happy soul, always smilling😄😃
Fix it again Tony 😊
Should have Tony’s garage - one for fixing cars Mat crashes😉
When Clarkson got excited about the guests taking the follow through flat out, they were in the reasonably priced car doing about 60, not in a super car at 110 😂 gotta love the effort though Mat! 👍
This is the best comment that could possibly be made about this video. Fu*king this ^ LOL
When clarkson used to comment “was he flat?” Don’t he mean as in body roll and then he would ask “Did you lift off?
You just got offered driving lessons from The Stig!!! That is definitely a series I would watch!!!
Never clicked faster

Even non car people enjoy Mats channel. You can have it on the TV safe in the knowledge its ok for the family to watch. Thanks Mat👍
This is the one I was looking for. Thank you Matt for linking it.
Great video - i’ll take a ballsy driver with speed over a slow driver in need any day - 😂 really enjoyed hanging with the gang and the constant laughter x
Ben had he done a couple of slower laps to warm the tyres could have gone through there flat
Please teach him to stop lifting mid corner though Ben.
New series for you Ben, training youtubers how to drive!
Ballsy? Very diplomatic. But a pound to a penny, that's not the word you were thinking of..... 😂😂😂
hi
GT3 RS needs a bold colour and youve definitely sent it!
Sounds to me like The Stig just offered to teach you how to drive on track .....
From working all the hours in the world in a restaurant and at a garage, to essentially Yoda offering to train you ...
Boys done good 👍
The offer, he takes it up, I hope *in best Yoda voice*
@@ConnorHammond Think not the corner lest the corner think you, hmmmmm
Trust in the traction control, LSD's and many many driving aids that all said
Nope,
Even when matt is crashing hes still smiling. What a guy
Also when they say is he/shes flat out im sure thats when hes talking to the celbs in the reasonably priced car.
When it showed the crash footage I saw that he was smiling. I would just rethink my life choises. What a guy he is never down.
Richard hammond would be proud. mat has learned from the master.
Fixing them up with your dad and Mates is one thing but driving them is another story. Keep up the good work fella. Clever with these videos
I love all your rebuilds, especially with your crew who all seem like family. Like you, I picked up many mechanical talents with zero training at a young age. Also like you I’ve discovered driving high performance vehicles to their limit is not a natural skill I inherited. lol. It’s ok brother, we can’t be awesome at everything. :). Keep pursuing your passion, if you’re doing something you truly love you’ll never dread “work” a day in your life. Cheers mate.
Matt’s brain “…… doesn’t not compute = send it and lift where!!!??” 😂😂😂 glad your ok man - that could have been so bad
So true when you sayd “ I can’t drive, I just have no fear”. When I drive my fear just dissapear somewhere, and I just have so confidence in my arms and car. 🙈
Love the colour! But more importantly love you Mat ;) Awesome awesome AWESOME stuff you and everyone is doing! Never change!
12:37 British airways ✈️..only thing that could fly and lucky you ain't take flight with the airplane beside you 😂 .. crazy picture with the airplane behind you ❤
DREADFUL PINK looks great 👍
Great video definitely enjoyable not everything goes to plan in life. Shows how real your videos are.
Was there condensation in the other rear light that wasn't damaged at the body shop? It looks like it near the end of the video. Also noticed the reveal to Hannah was at the old house.😊
Not sure if that comment was related to mine but I was not knocking the body shop, just noting that it seemed like the other back light appeared to have condensation/water inside it too. Which can happen to any light assembly.
Matt and team. Love your content! Watching from the U.S.
Petition to get Matt some driving lessons.
whats more real than buying the wrong side rear ligth 🤣, can't feel more related.
make me love even more this group/chanel. damn i wish i could meet the MA sqad, u guys rock
Blending this and a feast of naming cars .... Sisu is a Finnish word for a white knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination. I comes about when all hope is lost. Can you find a use for Sisu in what you do? lol
as you stated it's never dry in the UK and rust comes quick.
why not have a massive garage on the property for the cars to be inside to actually be able to dry off and not be affected by it.
Oh Mat, there are no words, what were you thinking?
Ruby Star Red my ar... thats not red thats bloody Barbie Pink!
Definately looked better in the previous colour.
Then can't believe you have gone and crashed another one.
You certainly found the limit, the squishy thing holding the steering wheel 🙂
Look I'll tell you what I'll do I'll look after her for you 🙂
Can't believe the garage broke the light and tried to cover it up, actually thinking about it I can. Then to get sent the wrong replacement. Oh Man.
Great content as always Mat, keep smashing it (not the cars) and stay safe.
And the offer for looking after her is there 🙂
Actually glad for once of our crappy British weather, if the grass was dry I reckon you could’ve rolled, dial it back a bit I reckon lol
100 % agree. I'm the bloke who watched top gear religiously,then watched repeats over and over on Dave,and I swear they said they took follow through flat
I think they always asked the reasonably priced car celebrities whether they took it flat….
The best thing is that u made it ok without any harm
That's a unique color. Suits the car well.
One of the best colours you can paint your Porsche ♥️ thank god this accident was not that serious 🙏🏻
gotta have the british airways in the background
Binging all the vids over the weekend. Fav so far has been the Ferrari build. You need to slow down Matt, with the driving not the vids, keep those coming. We want you making content for years to come.
Body shop should've owned up to it from the start. They probably looked up the price when it happend and was like "i aint got the money to pay for that" and decided to fix. I'm sure if this crash didn't happen they wouldn't have said anything about
7:26 I see an iPhone emergency crash test free advertisement 😅
My dream car in my dream colour. Beautiful Mat 😍
Over confidence hits us all eventually and becomes a learning curve, most important thing is only your pride was injured
Had a 1969 VW Karman Ghia that color. However years ago that color was called Porsche Raspberry. Great color!!!
The Ruby Red is awesome 👏
Love Rubstar Red, I loved it on the 964 RS, classic
Ruby Star Red?.... whatever. Looks like dark pink to me and I actually love it
1. I always thought it was flat out through the followthrough as well 😂
2. It always comes in three's. Please just got karting and be as simple as that 😂
3. The colour is sick 👌
Mat I love the colour I am not a pink person but it suits the car.
Have you decided to coat the cage the same colour as the outside colour?
Shit hoppens…
Looking fantastic even tho its ruby red :D
Thank u for another wonderfull vid!!!
Love here from Denmark
Camera quality on the intro is too clean 👌
at 3 million subscribers we are waiting for a video with all the cars in place ❤️
Wow .all the colours,and you chose pink,not for everyone 👍
That rear light moment was classic. penny dropped at the same time, lmao
Your the man Matt.
Love the colour Mat👍
In that cloudy weather it look sick as fuck 🔥
Someone's currently getting the bollacking of there life for that rear light back at the Body shop
I TELL YOU WHAT MATT, you were not the first person to be misled by Top Gear! A lot of Clarkson commentary is hyped up for TV! No one can take that follow through flat out, Remember when The STIG lost the HYRua and it swallowed the tyre.! Well saved!
That colour is sick
Shocking the body shop didn’t say about the damage
You know you live in an oppressive oligarchy when a fender bender crash is allowed to void your ENTIRE vehicle warranty.
A very expensive turf cutter that Mat 😂 personally I like the colour as it’s not and every day safe colour, hopefully there is space for the hairdryer and products in the back 😂
Old Stig is pretty awesome.
Great Job, Colour is a bit female, but everyone to their taste. Work shop should have told you about the damage? but at least they paid up for the new one. Everyone is happy :)
Liftoff oversteer. You can fix it. No worries. Keep it up mate.
Sick finish, love it 👌
Topman matt
Im would have done the breakspads the same colour - RubyStone Red.
“It’s Real feminine” 😂😂 love pops
Great stuff guys 👍🏻
The tiger seal clearly unsettled the back end and caused the accident ;)
Different than BMX, we don't need to crash 10x before we land something new... Usually with cars we work ourselves up to something .. and slowly slowly start to push ourselves more and more
God loves you guys!
Holy $hit one of my favorite colors! Looks sick!
They are not the fire brigade !
As soon as they said something about a crash he crashes blame the camera man he spoke it into reality 😭
I am not even mad for the crash. I am mad for this color🤣
If you watched top gear you definitely got the impression they flat out through the follow through
You need to buy a cheap fast car that’s easy to repair , then get some race training.
Or better still join the caterham academy and learn to race with a group of people ( would make a great series of videos)
Not sure if i missed, no damage to the suspension?
You turned the wheel left trying to correct and this is where the car turned drifting right. Instead of turning left, you should have just accelerated more to stay straight.
abosfekinlootly Mat. great vid as usual
Checking those tail lights…you guys sounded like the Sesame Street aliens discovering a phone characters.

Mat, "im a good driver, stop roasting me"
Also Mat: crashes 2 supercars within a month 🤣
My brother in law says the same, insists he’s a good driver, he’s a danger to anything and everything…
"Driving"' its just like riding a bike 😂
12:54 lol

Quick tip Mat, on all VAG cars, Porsche aswell, partnumbers for left hand side parts end in an odd number, and right hand side parts end in even numbers, so example 5VE 425 301 for left, and 5VE 425 302 for right. Hope this makes it easier in the future.
They could have boxed in wrong at the factory, which does happen regularly !
@@christianlebracq1956 I've never experienced getting a wrong part from Porsche. That sounds very un-German..
@@ThorsteinKlingenberg Not all Porsche parts are from Germany 😎
A bit naughty of the body shop to try and hide the £700 rear light they damaged!!! I’d avoid using them in the future.
Yup that’s really shameful. What were they thinking, especially since Mat has a lot of influence.
Is the Porsche rwd? If yes then Matt needs to avoid those
Womp womp
Jk
Exactly, it's wrong
Bit cheeky of the body shop not saying about the light until they got found out.
Yes exactly my thoughts. What if he never crashed that car ? 😮
Yeah or if he didn’t have the video evidence ? Scummy behavior
Says a lot about bodyshops if they are doing this kind of thing to cars they know I'll be on you tube, what do you reckon goes on with run of the mill motors
Criminal id say
It would of got found out when he took it to Porsche saying it had water damage they would of took one look at it and declined it saying it been broken and repaired so not there fault and matt would have had to pay for it. I would never use that body shop again so untrustworthy on a car like that and not tell no one as they know it would go to Porsche for inspection and i bet they would of found that and fail it warranty.
Did they really think they would get away with it such bad business name and shame them so people know not to go there as a risk with matt like that what do you think they would do with your car lucky he has vids to back it up as if he did not they would have not owned up to it.
That body shop was cheeky, broke the light, tried to fix it without saying anything, got caught, good job you record everything, I wouldn’t trust them again!
It is very cheeky, It might of been the technician doing it without the gaffer knowing
I would get to the bottom of it if I were you Mat!
Glad someone said it. You got to at least disclose it to the client cmon now
Accidents happen, but it's outrageous that nobody said anything. They'd be off my list for any future repairs.
Yeah, they "owned up to it" AFTER they got caught. They tried to scam Mat.
This would‘ve been the last time I visited that body shop. Not because they damaged the light, but because they tried to hide it. That‘s a no-go!
Calm down they owned up after yes its wrong but im sorry compared to most body shops in the country the work they do it fucking incredible
@@sionpritchard2060they didn't own up to it, they tried to hide it, got caught, admitted they broke it and tried to brush it off with some excuse. 0 honesty
@@sionpritchard2060 they owned up to it after they got caught
Yeah its very good work that they do but they still should have admitted that they caused damage to the light as soon as it happened
@@sionpritchard2060if the accident didn’t happened Matt would have never known what happened to the light…i found this very unprofessional i wouldn’t recommend this place….blacklisted for me….when you broke someone stuff you’ve got to tell them not hide it……
High speed corner on cold tyres - a good example of where talent beats hard work. Love your videos Matt, keep them coming
Hahahahahha no Brain or eyes/ears beats hard work
not even talent, just completely wrong information and track knowledge tbh, The "flat out" was for 80hp car for star in a reasonably priced car ffs hahahaha, not anything with grunt. Not that a better driver would make the mistake of going for it, referring to a comment from memory was a bit silly for a cold run in a nice car!
a good example of where talent beats hard work - priceless, and should be on the front of the t-shirts

Bro is his own supplier😂
🤣🤣🤣
Don't get high on your own supply! Rule #1
Mat "I saw you go flat in a Ferrari FXX" Ben Collins (and numerous others) "That was Michael Schumacher"!!!! Cue hysterical laughter and Mat with his head in his hands. Brilliant!!
And it was a Ferrari fxx lol not a Porsche gt3
That collective callout sent me!!
I’m sure Ben pointed this out - it takes anyone a minimum of ten laps to learn a track. Working as a racing instructor at Palmersport for many years - I was asked a simple question on my first day, if a professional racing driver gets in the driving seat next to you, what do you do? My immediate response and naivety was “let them crack on” to be immediately corrected. They won’t know where they are going, as instructors we knew the track better than anyone. Point is. 10/10 for the send but having seen a roll over at 170mph which had less lateral force than your off, two things, roll cage and full face helmet / hans device on track if you’re even thinking about pushing limits of the cars. I’m sure I speak for everyone, we’d hate to see anything happen to you. I’m sure you’ve learnt your lesson. Just hope others are able to take it onboard as well. You were unbelievably lucky there. Keep up the good work.
around 11:55 is the loss of control a result of him repeatedly overcorrecting? it looked like when the car finally gripped up after the understeer he had way too much steering input. despite of that, would it have been recoverable if he hadn't shifted the weight back by using a bit of power right before the spin?
@@upshift7571 I could bore you tears with the long answer but the long and short it. Essentially overcorrecting is what it boils down to. Most people lose control of cars because they're simply asking too much of them. That being said, there's a right and wrong thing to do and what separates most people from being able to save situations like this, is experience or a lack thereof. Most people revert to being reactive, they're not actually fixing the problem. They're just guessing and it's all too late. Your muscle memory and instinct kick in order to save big moments from turning into catastrophe. I looked back at a save from an onboard camera and I can tell you, that I was a passenger. My experience took over. One little trick though, in race cars (so no ABS) if you're out of shape and you know you're potentially going to spin, provided you're on the accelerator pedal already, pinning the brake pedal at the same time will force the car to go in the direction it's travelling in. Not where the wheels are pointing. Gives you a split second to get things back in order. Naturally, not getting yourself in the situation to begin with is the smart play. I don't think we can ask too much of anyone in this situation though. Old mate is an enthusiast. Not a professional racing driver. The gulf in talent between the best road driver and even the worst racing driver is vast.
I thought the Gallardo would have been enough of a reality check Mat! 😅
Yeah, definitely time for professional driving lessons
i love how they check their own footage of them installing the taillight and making sure they dont blame anyone for anything without confirmation , keep up the stuff mat
I tell you what, I don’t care if cars are crashed and rebuilt and crashed again, can never get enough of this channel. Love the content love it all. Keep it up bro just stay safe so you can keep rebuilding
“That was Michael Schumacher!” Classic.
I LOVE the color.💖
