MAT ARMSTRONG'S CRASH COURSE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2024
- I was lucky enough to recently visit the one and only @MatArmstrongbmx's garage, to see just what it is that makes this RUclips sensation tick.
I check out some of the latest exotic cars that he’s saving from the scrap heap, and hear more about his fascinating past and ambitious future plans.
Mat is one of the nicest, most genuine guys on the scene, so it was great to finally see where most of his incredibly popular RUclips content is filmed from for myself.
Thanks so much to Mat for having me down, and stay tuned for much more content with him very soon…

I'm knocking 40 and since the proper top gear went off air, all I watched afterward was RUclips car content..... and if someone said one day you would be watching the stig, and Matt Armstrong on a side by side vlog, not only that to be as entertaining and engaging as prime time top gear was, I 100% said bs. Love it!!
95% RUclips car content, 5% everything else that’s my viewing preference.
Harry’s garage, the late brake show, Ben himself, Matt Armstrong and his dad, Tavarish, hoovie, Jack builds it, drivetiribe, autoalex, car throttle and so many more small or niche channels, keep it up everyone I admire your collective efforts to share your experiences with the RUclips audience
I’ve knocked on past 40 just hit 55 and couldn’t agree more with you
You’ve got fifteen years to catch up with me, but I absolutely agree, most if not all of my car content comes from RUclips now. Mind you I did listen to Ben’s books on Audible in the car, well worth reading or listening to them, very entertaining.
He's just a great dude that isn't up his own arse . Love watching him and his dad 😊
Would love to see the stig on Carwow
Mat's enthusiasm, and his crew (Dad, gf, others positive input), and his love of cars, I don't think he need worry about what to choose to fix. I could watch him repair a totaled lawn mower and be entertained.
Great interview Ben!
He hasnt got a gf anymore he has a fiance
@@rbwarrior1212 Then that is even better and I wish them both the very best!
Cossie!!!!!!!!!! Yes Matt an escort Cossie would be brilliant!
Any Cossie would be great, especially the original whale tail one.
I am subscribed to *many* Car - RUclips - channels, all the well known ones i guess, but Mat´s channels stick out for several reasons.
And for someone like me who suffers from severe depression for more than 3 decades, the positive vibes and laughter and fun they bring to the viewer
is SO important ! I almost completely lost the ability to enjoy *anything* , but when i watch Mat`s Videos, i always have a smile on my face.
He puts me in a better mood, almost like therapy. Mat, if you read this: THANK YOU ! For making me feel better for a while.
Yikes
what?@@Editionsz
I've had alot of shite thrown my way over the last year, taken some knocks, before that, and was on a downer, a agree with you Matt is good therapy he's a super positive dude and full of energy, hang in there pal your not alone 👍
We absolutely need a Cosworth!
I love how the connections between all of you guys have become so fluid and natural. It's so great to see.
I would love to see Mat and his dad restore an old rusty classic, particularly if it was a car that his dad would have loved to have owed when he was Mat's age. Cutting out rust and restoring an old beater would be a different challenge and skill set.
Matt has the greatest personality and attitude, it’s inspirational. He’s always happy and makes people feel good no matter if thangs are falling apart around him he still keeps that great outlook.
I can honestly say.That I’ve been a tele addict my whole life.I’m 61! But over the last 3-4 years I’ve switched to RUclips more and more.I rarely watch tv anymore.I’m hooked on content like Mats,Chris Slix,Freddie and many many more.They’re a Petrol heads dream watch.Look forward to seeing the Lancia finished Ben,and then maybe you’ll do a late 70’s early 80’s Alfa or the early 70’s era BMW 2002 turbo
I find the more RUclips I watch the less I can stand the clearly acted and directed content in the TV shows.
This channel is how I imagined drivetribe would be.
Yes a cossie would be amazing
Yess need a cossy on the channel. Growing up with fast ford, you definitely need get one
Great production quality! Well done Ben.
The early Koenigseggs are very much a parts bin special. There was a crashed CCXR privately rebuilt in south Africa in 2011 and lots of Merc and Volvo parts found... I got to sit in it at the scrap dealer and even in its broken state still a phenomenal machine!
The modern Eggs are probably a completely different story entirely.
So much respect for Matt. One of the most down to earth influencers on YT.
escort or sierra Cosworth would be amazing to see.. so much history and opportunity's to build new relationships
3 door Cosworth or mk1 Astra GTE would be good to watch
An old school classic should definitely be a good build (Cosworth / mk4 supra / Skyline / RX7 etc.)
Great video Ben . Mat do a Cosworth 😳👍
get an escort cosworth, you and tony in the video and everyone will watch it. tbh i'd watch you repair any car (apart from EV)
True
Great video Ben, really enjoying your channel and the diversity of content you’re bringing us. Mat is a force of nature, he has so much enthusiasm and passion for what he does, it’s great to get an insight into what makes him tick, with some really good questions. Can’t wait to see you drive the M4.
M3
This guy is giving cars their life back, awesome.
Totally agree with you about ev Would like to see you do a Lotus Carlton
He likes a car with a story. No bigger story than 40 RA 😂
£80k plus for a good Lotus Carlton now though. Awesome cars, I seem to remember a rumour (or fact?) that the UK POLICE were looking to have them banned from sale in UK. The fastest production saloon when they came out at the time. I agree though, a few classics might be a nice addition to Mat’s channel.
@rebelranter 100% fact. Was debated in parliament. The police got embarrassed when one (40RA) haded their helicopter it's backside. 😂
Oh this will be a great watch
Dude , you have to do regular updates on the Lancia please , I never really appreciated them at the time . But now you have got to admit what an awesome piece of kit .
Mat and Co deserve all the credit and subs they get . All earned from grafting , trying and having a good mindset.
A good inspiration for anyone.
Car game is a very hard trade to earn money or be successful in . full of unknowns , unpaid labour , people who won’t think twice about shafting you etc etc .
Main thing is guy’s loyalty brings trust and a bit of give and take is acceptable, just don’t take the ‘P’ out of people kind enough to help especially when it’s for free.
Rather old school values that unfortunately can be a bit thin on the ground these days . ❤👍
Mat, Tavarish, Jack and Ben should do a 24hr race with a rebuilt BMW. Like the Top Gear episode.
It’s people like Matt, yourself and the guys on Drivetribe have kept me sane. I tip my hat to Matt for such dedication and his enthusiasm, got my vote.
I will become a Patreon of MA if he commits to doing a Ford Cosworth car.
I love those things. Will never own one; but I still get lost in my childhood imagination whenever I see them!
You know you've made it when the Stig calls you a legend 💪😎✌️
Magnificent video! Thank you both.
Come on people! This man right here is literally the Stig! Let's get this legend to 1 million NOW!
I only discovered Matt a few months ago but i can see why as his content is just so watchable he shows everything all steps which is what TV doesn’t show, he has a winning format for sure no wonder he’s rich
I've been watching Matt Armstrong since his early days on RUclips rebuilding cars on his house front drive! He's 💯 a legend! 🚗🛠️
Good point. Love your built. EV is nice for daily use, quiet and relaxing. But EV is expensive, boring, and hard to repair.
First time I’ve seen your RUclips channel. I’d love to see mat take on a classic! ❤
Yes yes yes to a Cosworth Mat 👌
Amazing conversation with Mat! He's such a great personality, and his positivity is truly inspiring. I didn't want the video to end! Well done for both of you 👌
Escort cosworth would be awesome and I think the views it would get would up there with his best cars💪👍
Beautiful Interview much appreciated. Thank you
Brilliant video with two down to earth guys with loads of talent in their own fields, enjoying cars. Love both your channels!🎉
absolutely brilliant interview/chat ! loved it.
Yes mate escort coss would be good !!!❤
Love watching the videos always make time for him great personality and love how no corners are cut keep it up 👍🏼
This interview is great. Really explains what Mat does and his passion for rebuilding cars
Updated UR Quattro would be cool, as would a Cossie. Matt’s positivity is great to see as a constant since following his channel for ages. I’d love to see him doing an SLR also, proper hot rod rocket ship. Great behind the scenes film.
2 Great blokes, well worth watching anytime.
Love the Stig !!
Great interview thanks for doing it, he's a bloomin nice bloke.
I didn't know who you were until you appeared on Mat's channel but now I know, I'll be looking out for more of your videos too.
What a nice collaboration because you can't fake the connection you both have ... love it
I enjoyed this video very much 👍... couple of the heavy hitters of the game right there, having a lovely chat, positivity all the way... cheers!🙏🤗
Ben, what an Easter Sunday treat, one legend and one soon to be, talking my language, thank you 😊
I loved this one Ben! Every minute of it!
Any old stuff would be awesome!!!!!
Cossie 💯👌👍
Mat, id love to see some early 80's to late 90's cars on your chanel. Cossie would definitely be great content. Escort or a Sierra, Capri maybe, if you can find a Lotus carlton, Nissan R32 GTR, Porsche944 turbo few cars that in my opinion would make great content.
I’m loving Matt’s work
This s best car show ever ,like the show to bits,kip it up
Love these videos Ben, your interview and presentation skills are top notch.
Ben, you and Mat are two of the most watchable people ever. 👏👏👏
Cinematics at the beginning with the other dude is Top tier!
Bro!!! U speak sense regarding electric cars. They are a passing phase that people will get bored of eventually. Doesn’t solve the problems it claims to achieve. Long live combustion 🚘🚘🚘!!!
Matt, love to see you do a restoration of an older 70’s 80’s classic. Mk1 Escort Cossie would be perfect or a Mk 1 Lotus Cortina 😎👍
I really enjoyed the humility.
Great, relax video!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
This was a great insight into both of you. Good video
I really enjoyed this interview a lot Ben. Well done with your content and channel. Much appreciation for what you do from Calgary, Alberta 🇨🇦
Well said that man re Ev's , totally agree with Mat on everything he said !
Harry’s garage, the late brake show, Ben himself, Matt Armstrong and his dad, Tavarish, hoovie, Jack builds it, drivetiribe, autoalex, car throttle and so many more Like smaller channels doing classic cars. Steviegtr anything garage doing TVR stuff. They are all great channels to watch.
Cheers gonna have to look these up aha whilst I wait for Mat to upload 😂
Great attitude 👍
Well said Electric is Not the future 👍👌👌👌
Cracking vid lads , really interesting to hear you both talking like that, more please !!
Love watching your content. Keep up the good work 👏
Great content as always and love Mat's take on Electric cars
The Stig and Mat...hell yes ⛳
Matt and his family and the team it rocks from resturant washing glasses , to millionare its brilliant it just shows .
Came here from Mats IG. Thanks love it
Cossie gets my vote
MAT is one of the BEST youtuber to go to ! The rest of the youtuber that is trying to do the same thing as MAT, aint the same.
Nice one, Ben!
Love Mat, top man!
If only I knew Ben Collins had a RUclips channel, fantastic.
Yes on the Cossie! Or any other '80s-'90s rallycar
Escort Cosworth would be amazing, love that era of cars and to see Matt build one would be fantastic.
Great video btw.
Great video - you both gel well.
Much like you Ben (No.1 Stig), Mat is a legend who I've been following since the early TT rebuild.
Spot on with the EV take! Love to hear it.
Agreed, completely spot on, word for word what I think
Escort Cosworth - to me the greatest car ever. Closest I got to one was my J plate 1.6LX, bloody loved that wee car mind you.
Guess with M5 just didn't get the James May fizz 😂 great vid 😊 Ben you're a natural presenter and awesome driver 😊
I'm sooooo envious🤤
Late 1960's Mustang Fastback would be insane
Hi there great content, would love to see you behind the wheel of Matt's M3 , also although I love what Matt does day to day, I would like to see some 80's or 90's matchine on his channel, all the best
Great video Ben
Great episode!!!
An awesome pair together:)
I find Matt incredibly inspirational
Love @mattarmstrong been watching for a few years now,and great to hear he wont be working on soulless electric cars.
His enthusiasm for his work coupled with the people that help,his dad,liam,chris slix the cameram man (cant remember his name)and also Freddie and jack from the States amongst others,it really is worth watching,even my mrs enjoys it and she's really not that arsed about cars!
Cossie would be great, but I’d also love to see what you could do with a mk2 Golf (super car beater??)
Hard Working Mat has earned the gift of a blessed life
I was definitely disappointed when this video ended! Great work *Stig*
Been a big fan of Mat's (hoping the Roller doesn't bust his bank) and really enjoyed watching you give the McClaren what for on track.
New viewer from Perth, Western Australia.
Well don3 Ben for interviewing Matt. You two should do more together two genuinely nice blokes.
