Matt, you do remind me of myself. You are just a man who has tried multiple different ventures in your life and put your all into them. But then one day you caught your break with your car business and also here on RUclips. You talk about what you love most and people love your content!
But sadly there are some people out there who just get jealous or wish they could be you and in return are negative about your on comments. IGNORE THEM! Look at yourself 10 years ago, when you wanted to be an actor and look where you are now.... who could have imagined?? You should be very proud of what you have achieved! 😊
Hear hear❤
I wouldn't hesitate to buy a car from this man, the most transparent car salesman ever and an honest guy
Totally agree with you on that.....
Stop with the inner analysis etc and stick to cars.
@@dipladonic Why?
The clue is in the title High Peak 'Autos'. It's not High Peak Samaritans. People have enough problems and view this content to learn about cars and the sales thereof, not to listen to someone bleating about their personal life issues.@@ericsbuell
I agree, and if I lived closer to Stockport, Highpeak would be my go-to car dealer. This show has really inspired me to keep on top of looking after my car cosmetically as well as mechanics.
You're not a smug or arrogant prick. You're great genuine person and it's also great that you also gave us a glimpse of your hardships, as this might help others to overcome their own (I have to do that currently)
Thanks Matt
I stumbled across one of your 'I bought a cheap xxxx...' videos about 4 months or so ago.
At the end of that video, I thought I really like this guy, his demeanour, presentation, wit, style, format, obvious love of cars among other attributes.
Long story short, hooked, subscribed, spent many hours going over the history of your channel soaking up the content.
And now, I'd say I'm a massive fan and you're honest, upfront and open nature in this video just cements everything I like about you and your channel.
I've also found the last couple of years difficult post divorce, lost sight of looking after me and listening to you here has given me a real lift Matt.
So, thank you, good luck with shifting the Merc, fingers crossed on the 2 x properties and I reckon you could potentially add 'life coach' to your skill set. You're great mate, change nothing about this channel, it's excellent.
Not calling anyone for making a success of their lives. Self made man.
You have always come across as a genuine bloke Matt. Good to hear you turned your life around. I find your videos dryly humorous.
"dryly humorous" Ha ha I concur. 👍
Nice to hear more of your story Matt - all of us see you as genuine. Keep doing what you’re doing 👌
Thanks Matt for sharing your troubles. It's very much a case of 'A problem shared is a problem halved'.
Unlike many RUclips presenters you are the kind of person with whom you'd like to enjoy a pint at the pub. Straightforward, honest, caring.
I wish you the very best for the future in whatever you choose to do. I feel privileged to be able to share in some of what you do. It is done so well!
Thank you for being so open about your struggles matt. It is good to see a man of your status being so transparent about the challenges of life, obviously you havent divoulged what your struggles were (understandably) but just being transparent results in being inspirational for young men like me. I'm so happy you are in a better place. you are the best youtuber in this space and are truly a selfless and genuinely decent person, remember that!
Sad to the merc go but times change i guess.
I appreciate that!
I’m sorry to hear about the bad time you suffered with! Never ever worry about what other people might think about you ! You are who you are and good on you for ploughing through! And getting where you are now ! It’s never a good place suffering with self esteem but trust me I’m 60 now and I’ve been down many low roads ! But eventually found the high one it took time and I suffered one the way ! Honestly Matt from what I’ve seen of you whilst watching your channel you have nothing to worry about ! Onwards and upwards my friend with head held high 💪
I hear you loud and clear Matt, I had a similar situation in 2021 when I bought my 350 SL, didn't need it, as I own a 280 CLK (W209) but it was my F**k it car, life wasn't great personally, I was going through a tough time. The car always looked great and when I did plan to sell the car, it had served its purpose.
Unfortunately people have a perception when they don't know you, quick to judge and pass comments, it's how people use the internet which is the problem. Keep going as you are, I see you as humble with life experience y hables espanol.
Good luck Matt! Kind of reminded me of myself about self confidence stuff.... wish you all the best ! Keep up the good work with these videos 😀
Matt, I have been watching your videos for years now. You are my ‘go to’ on RUclips as I have commented many times before. It takes massive courage to share your very personal feelings in public and, as someone who has suffered from similar issues myself, I have nothing but the deepest respect for you. Thank you so much for sharing, it means a lot to me as I sure it does to many others. You are an inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏼
Fair play for going through what ever it was and coming through the other side, you’re doing well and you deserve your fruits of your labour
Exactly. Matt gets out of life what he puts into it, and fair play to him. He never puts anyone else down. He simply makes the most of his own abilities....
@@Brian-om2hh most definitely
I liked this video, it resonated with me. I also bought my dream car (Nissan GT-R) at a worse point in my life for much the same reasons, I needed the money and space to buy a house. I also miss it and I'm not that materialistic but it was a tough decision. Though my situation doesn't seem to have recovered as well as yours, maybe some day. I really enjoy your videos, they are very relatable and genuine - smug or arrogant is not ever something I'd imagine anyone call you.
You made the best decision. A house is a necessity, at a later stage you could end up getting same car or better.
@@eagleairborne7132thank you for the kind words. I already had a house - but it was the right decision, the car just showcased what I'd worked hard for. Unfortunately, unlike Matt, I didn't recover quite as well (yet) and it's been tough in this climate, while also self-employed with responsibilities. I guess we are all different.
top video . can't quite remember how and when I came across your channel. but from the first video i remember thinking what genuine believable communicator/honest salesman and youtube presenter you are
Matt, I know it probably took a lot to open up, and that just gives your 'repeat customer' viewers even more of a reason to give you massive respect. You're a breath of fresh air in what - let's face it - is a pretty unpopular profession. That's down to your effort and honesty. The regular mantra of 'I've massively overspent....', the banter with your brother, the lack of macho posturing (clearly your regular mechanic is a woman, a fact that you mention very matter-of-factly), your clearly excellent relationships with the valeters/wheel refurbishers/trim repairers/dent pullers/paint magicians, the road trips to Spain and other places, the goldmine of useful information (from cambelt-change reminders to where to rent electric cars in Bermuda), all give me and many others 101 reasons to watch day after day. Never doubt yourself. Trolls will be trolling.
Matt, I have recently been in a very similar boat, having been suffering from PTS as a result of my former job, so I understand how you can feel. You are a good bloke mate, and you probably don't realise it but, making your videos, I can guarantee, helps a lot of people. It has certainly helped me.
I'm glad you have improved how you are feeling, and thanks for everything mate. You're a good egg.
Can't be your dream car if you're selling it.
0:21
I think he woke up?😁
It can…..
He gave two reasons why he’s selling it and I can relate to that!
Fulfilled dream..some dream ..some do it.
The fact you have so many regular followers here Matt is a real credit to you. Im glad you stuck with the channel, as others have said here, you’re a top bloke.
Matt, sorry you went through a "bad time". I've been there, it creeps up on you. Diffiuclt to climb out of the darkness but you're doing great. Onwards and upwards.
Great video - and I'm not talking about the car bit (although that's as good as usual), but your opener about self-esteem and your turnaround. I am always heartened when people with a platform use it to help others, which is what the opener does. Bet your circa 2022 self couldn't have predicted that you could do a video that would reach 125,000 people within 2 days of posting. You deserve every one of those views and more. Keep going.
That’s true. I’m just very critical of myself
Doubled edged sword I should think. Ie part of your success is having high standards (all too rare these days but it's a common trait in successful people for a reason). The trick is to not go overboard with it, particularly when it comes to yourself. Very good is good enough. As I show by watching pretty much everything you put out! @@HighPeakAutos
You present in an accessible, smart and consistent way. Innuendo free, and straight up about the plus and minuses. Always waiting to hear, "needs a good buff". A funny Northerner, that one! Well done, Matt. You are one of the good 'uns.
We can all waste energy worrying about how others view us. People should stop judging, do their part to make others lives more validated. Look forward to the next vid as always!
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing something personal. An encouragement that you can help yourself and turn your life around! Love your videos. Love the no waffle and just say it as it. Keep going!
Thank you so much!
As always a good video. For different reasons than usual . Your open admission to having issues and dealing with them is refreshing. I realized at my age 45 last November to deal with my issues and get some help. Good luck and stay positive.
An honest human, with a fantastic hobby/job. The skills to show us the world of cars/properties/life is. What a relief i found the channel. Keep on with your good work/life.
Sorry to hear about the low self-esteem Matt, we appreciate you and appreciate what you do for the industry. Honestly couldn't tell but keep it up. 1% better each day. God Bless
Sorry to hear about your difficult time, but you got through it and you will do in the future too. The highs and lows are part of what makes us human. On the positive side, money can’t buy happiness - but a sports car can! It’s funny how all those bits of plastic, rubber and metal, with a dollop of dinosaur juice can stimulate our positive energy and generate a bit of inner sunshine. I find your honesty admirable, very authentic and always informative and interesting videos. Thankyou.
Great video. Thanks for being open about the low times, great to hear people opening up especially when those people have such a big following on the socials, can’t do anything but good. Onwards and upwards!
Thanks for watching!
Well done Matt… sensible head on. Love the channel, long game and onwards and upwards. Very best wishes to you and yours, GJ x
ttanks for sharing your story. Always love the content, whether its about cars or your personal journey. Love and appreciate your work ethic.
Among other aspects of your videos, I'm really impressed that you seem to manage your spiel without scripts. It's very natural sounding. Very good. Just thought I'd mention it . . .
Very honest and open, helps everyone that has moments of crisis, thank you.
You seem like a solid guy to me, man. Sorry to hear of your rough patch. Very interested in how you managed to turn it around. Inspiring!
Great to hear you're in a better place than before, and you've always seemed like a honest guy so keep it up and trust in yourself
I’m absolutely impressed with your honesty, your format. You’re a great narrator as well. Enjoy the rest of your cars 😊
Really good video, appreciate the honesty. It's important that people share how they're feeling. I really like the channel and am looking forward to what's coming
Matt been a fan of your channel for a while now and have enjoyed all your vids. but became an avid fan after your first walk around your showroom and how hilariously honest your were about the cars, not something you would expect from a car dealer. and as for the negative comments of you being smug or arrogant i find the total opposite anybody who can take the mick out of them self ....(ive massively over spent) i find shows great character. so please keep up the great work fella
Onwards and upwards Matt. Self care is important. Keep on doing what you're doing and take each day as it comes. Best wishes from Dorset ☺
Matt, hope you good, and this is the best video on your channel so far! It's a lot more than just a car video!
Wish you nothing but the best moving forward. Motivates me to start working out and getting into better shape as well.
Good story man, I started a year ago with a humble 2018 SLC, and planning to get such AMG GT within the next 3 years.
Wishing you the best for you, keep up the good work.
I started to watch your videos during lockdown and all i can say,that there is no other cardealer,youtuber more genuine and honest then you.i really look up to you as a person,and its its also very educational.thank you
Great video as always. I know the feeling and needing to treat yourself to something special, usually a materialistic thing. I was in the same position, and I got myself a 2014 A6 C7 black edition saloon, was only a 2L but it looked amazing and was a close dream of mine. Keep up the good work and always reach out when needed, the community will always support.
Hi Matt,
As someone who has reinvented himself several times I see you as a 100% sound guy who can be trusted to always do his best for his clients, family, friends and everyone you come into contact with - whether it`s a waiter in a restaurant or the guy delivering your parcels etc etc. Love your videos Matt and how you present yourself and the motors. Keep going!
Love your channel Matt. Huge props for the mental health chat too. I suffer and just bought a Lexus RC 300h Takumi pack. I’ve hated driving for years. Now even traffic isn’t bothering me. The smile on my face just looking at the car is worth the money alone. Thanks Matt. Keep up the amazing work on your channel.
Hi Matt, brilliant to hear you speaking out about you mental health issues. Men are notorious for keeping it quiet and suffering alone. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing Matt, glad your in a better place mentally. Cars can be replaced. Keep doing what you do
Scoured many a channel looking for opinions on a car I wanted to buy a couple of years back.
Having waded through what felt like far too many folk right into themselves, this channel appeared!
Like many others, I can confirm you’re neither smug or arrogant. If anything, it’s been great to see you grow in confidence these past couple of years.
Keep it up Matt 🤙
This video is why your channel does so well. Open and honest.
Oh and you didn't leave the link to the place that's going to sell it!
Thanks for being so open Matt, I’m sure your openness is as I type helping someone who is where you were (and I don’t mean Derby)
Ah, glad it helped you through to the up and up... This life is blooming tough sometimes... But there's much good to look forward to, I'm sure
I think this is one of the best videos you have done! To hear you talk about self esteem and confidence is really inspiring. Absolute respect.
Thanx for Sharing, man, and being honest. Not many of them around on RUclips.
Well done Matt for coming out and saying about some of your issues and whatnot, very brave thing to do on your popular car channel. You're always smartly turned out, entertaining, funny and informative and the videos make for great entertainment. Don't listen to the naysayers, we have a terrible habit in the country (some people that is) of trying to knock someone which, I think, comes from envy on their part. Too bone idle to do anything successful themselves, they get enjoyment from putting others down. Well, a huge majority of us on here watch your youtube stuff and love it. Carry on the great work mate and long may it continue!
Thanks
Matt , Thank you for your honesty- a rare commodity in the motor industry. Best wishes for you and your businesses going forward.🚙
“Semi-successful” he says. Your beautiful house says very different 😄 but yes, parting with a car is like losing a friend, I got rid of my first car today due to it having 14 advisories on the MOT, it was a 07 fiesta and just wasn’t worth fixing due to the rust. Sad times truly
You have worked hard and achieved a lot in such a short time and being a young man you should give yourself a pat on the back. Love all your you tube video's and may it long carry on.
Great video.. I enjoy all the videos you post.. they were lifesavers in Lockdown! And don’t tell anyone this, I sometimes use some of your one liners at work - Shock and Awe tactics!!. Matt. - A secret Mr Motivator. Re the Mercedes.. you still have the SL.. and that’s the keeper.. and will be more even more special when you drive it on Sundays and Fundays. Keep going !
The personal intro was so special.✨
How many of the fifty-two thousand viewers in the first seven hours wow, can relate to this sharing (the true spirit of the internet) I'm one!
At sixty-four now all I can add to this inspirational insight is that if, unlike Matt you find the mountain too high to attempt on your own just remember that Sir Edmund Hillary needed Tenzing Norgay for assistance....
Showing my age with that seventy-one-year-old reference 🏍
Really enjoy your vids , I used to work at Barclays in Romiley around 1974 and used to commute from Bramhall in my 73 Ford Capri 3000GT.
I now live in Ottawa Canada and have a 2007 Jag type STR as my toy !
Glad you are doing well 😊
Ah very nice
I've watched the vast majority of your videos, Matt and I have NEVER EVER thought you arrogant.
Honest, trustworthy, hard working & genuine. But never arrogant.
The videos keep getting better & better. Keep 'em coming, Matt
My favourite channel on RUclips, Enjoy the vids and you're a top man so good luck to you, please carrying on overspending:) but don't go broke.
Good for you. I fully agree with your initial and current motives. I can relate to the 1st not made it to the 2nd - Yet!!
Well done Matt. I am greatly inspired by your videos I watch you religiously and glad to see your journey over the years. Keep doing what you do. Hope to do some business with you soon.
Thank you! Will do!
My favourite channel on RUclips without a shadow. Funny and witty in every video and can't help but keep tuning in. Keep the head up Matt you're one of the good guys.
I love your honesty Matt it’s refreshing to hear,keep up the good work,thanks from a sunny Thailand
Much appreciated
Awesome, best of luck & thanks for all of the entertainment over the years 🤙🏻
Seen a few of your videos and I 100% thank you for sharing that personal insight, especially in a world with everyone showing perfection on social media. You come across as a down to earth bloke. Great to hear you are doing well mate 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing your journey and honesty! The AMG GT is on my wish list so have really enjoyed your reviews and sad it’s got to go, but there are more important things in life! Keep the content coming…..
Honest video Matt and one am sure many of us can relate to.... even if in a very minor, non AMG GTS, way...
Matt, very sorry to see that you are selling that beautiful Mercedes. More importantly, immense credits to you for speaking of your low. period. Brighter days ahead my friend, and never mind the naysayers..😀. Keep up up the greats channels..👍.
Great vid, i think you're presenting skills are amazing, been watching loads of your vids.. really enjoying watching them
Cheers
Thanks 👍
Well done Matt you opened up there and by doing so I bet you helped a lot of people who need to know there is always hope, you may be lacking a bit in self esteem but your not a coward by putting yourself out there.🙏
I really appreciate that you are being so honest about your insecurities and mostly former troubles with low self esteem. I can relate to that.
Always looking what you could do better and beating yourself up about it .All the good things you do very well are you find normal and logical.
100% relatable! We’ve all been there and never considered you arrogant from the lens in which we know you, your YT channel. Could listen to you all day and think there’s a lot to be learned from your story & experience. ⭐️
Good honest video and that sums up why you are so popular with the good guys that love cars and common sense 😀 love your channel
Absolutely fantastic video and you will only enhance your image with the public I would say due to you being so genuine and open about your life in relation to the sale of it
Thanks for the honesty mate. Absolutely my favorite channel this. Keep it up and remember, you're more than enough
Your videos are very well done, give a balanced opinion and are not presented in an arrogant or showy way. I recently bought an AMG GT having watched one of your reviews, so you must be doing something right! Sorry to see you have to sell but that's life and no doubt the doors to better opportunities will open in the future. Well done Matt, you come across as a bloke I'd happily have a pint with.👍
Thanks. Enjoy the GT
What a guy! Been watching the channel for 4 years, immensely happy for you Matt, what a journey so far !
A sensible head over heart decision. The thing with dream cars is that as soon as you get one, you love it, you're fulfilled, content in the attainment of your ambition. But, as time goes buy, your head will get turned by another. You gnash your teeth, agonise and argue with yourself until you let out a big sigh and make that fateful decision. I won't tell you how you'll feel when it's finally sold, that would spoil it. All that said, the thing with dreams is that they're unlimited - on to the next, whatever the dream is. Thanks for sharing.
Matt - very honest video. I really enjoy your car videos and your very honest approach to life and car dealing. Keep up the good work. Tom
Well done Matt. You are very courageous sharing your battles. All the best going forward cheers
Hi Matt, sorry to hear you are selling your pride and joy but at least you can say you owned one, I have a simular experience with an E-Type I owned 30 years, all the very best from Nick in Wolsingham.
Finally someone who is personally honest about themselves! Wish more people would be like this!
Thank you!
Always look forward to your vids Matt and your honesty and integrity is admirable, you are 100% one of the good guys! Deffo no smug or arrogant vibes. A great sense of humour too. Wishing you continued business sucsess and also continued improvemnts with your mental health. The GTS will go, but the memories will stay. Keep up the good work!
You’ve never struck me as smug, Matt. You’re just a genuine, hard working guy. You clearly resonate with people because your videos are so popular. Keep up the great work! 😎
Keep up the good work Matt, it’s nice to see a local person making quality content like yourself. I see your white Range Rover on the road often on the A34, puts a smile on my face seeing it 👌
You’re an inspiration Matt. You constantly show how far someone can get with good old hardwork and you always put a positive spin on everything
I think you're really entertaining and care about the cars you buy, prepare, and sell. Let the haters hate They're probably just sat in front of their tablet in some lonely room looking out the world with envey, surrounded by old beer cans and covered in Dorito crumbs.
Nice to see personal insights to be honest Matt, makes the channel stand out a bit more. Sad it's gone, but hopefully you'll get something just as (if not even more) awesome one day!
Well spoken again Matt. I believe that car purchases are good therapy. In my own case I had a heart attack and almost died in 2018. At the time I owned an X300 XJ6 as my weekend car. After the HA I was feeling a bit low mentally as well as physically so what did I do...... went out and bought a mint E36 convertible and i suddenly felt a whole lot better about life. Still have the convertible and still loving life.
I already really respected Ur opinion and views, and you opening up in this video has shown what a sound guy you are. Keep smashing the videos 👌
I really enjoy your videos Matt and your genuine honesty as a person is why we all keep watching! Have you thought about doing a ‘behind the scenes’ video showing how you shoot your videos and the kit you use? Keep up the great work!
Nice one Matt. Great positivity. And car reviews aren't too bad.
Thanks for opening up, we are all human and all very different.
My short story is I drove HGV's for nearly 30 years - career change and new job, employed as the Highway officer, office working with site visits. Bang - imposter syndrome kicked in.
I had always struggled with the written word and felt out of step.
The end result, went from strength to strength, I smashed it, only my lorry driver's brain was holding me back!
That’s interesting- it’s a funny thing isn’t it
I've been watching your videos for a couple of years, now. Not once have I thought that you were arrogant or smug. I find your presenting style informative, witty (describing the back end of a Jag XJ as being in another post code 😀) and engaging. It's pretty obvious that you enjoy your job and sharing your enthusiasm with others. Keep up the good work! BTW...I think that's an awesome Merc!!!
I love the open & honest talk. Especially about hitting the gym & improving your habits etc. I’m glad that’s paid off for you 😊👊🏻
Oh and you’re far from smug or arrogant
Matt, great video and absolute gent! However you missed the AMG GTC which sits between the AMG GTS and AMG GT-R aha!
From the very first video I watched Ive always had the feeling you're a truly lovely bloke and this video confirms it. You break the mold of a 'car dealer' in the best way possible, you deserve every success that comes your way.
