What's this 'on purpose' bollocks in the thumbnail? Implying he crashed the car on purpose.
Thanks for letting me clear all the speculations 🙌❤
I've seen you drifting the track and told my Mrs you can really drive. These things happen
Matt and Tony The GOATs❣
Stick to riding BMX’s. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Matt, I'm one who you inspire to try a rebuild, had many chats with my son and son in law about, we've got a few financial things to sort out but I'm sure we'll try before 2025 👍 ps. Your dad is brilliant, I laugh all the time, when he laughs I laugh, especially when you hear him in the background after you say somethings gonna cost you £10k, glad you're OK after this accident and looking forward to your next upload 😊
Ignore the trolls Mat and keep on doing what you do - Delivering superb content for us all.
''ON PURPOSE''!!?? Come on Ben. You're better than this. Only the desperate use click bait.
Agreed. Sad that he put on such low click bate. Going to unsubscribe now.
On what his purpose is as an influencer with a massive reach should be.
Agree 👍🏼
What an excellent format for Mat to come and respond to some of the absolute bullshit that was being thrown around in his comments section. Great job gentlemen, keep up the good work.
I'm not saying he did anything on purpose but probably fixing his lambo in a span of 3-4-5 episodes yields him more income than what the insurance would've given him.
I don’t get all the fuss . The guys repairs cars and videos it, good stuff . He has a nice car , fair enough , fair play to him. He’s had a crash , that’s bad luck , thankfully he’s ok ! ……. End of story. No need for all the drama or for matt to have to “explain” . He owes nothing to any of us viewers , he’s allowed a life .
Content makes money. Money funds rebuilds. Simple
Agreed 100%. At the end of the day, a car is just a car. Regardless of the engine, cost, or badge.
Mat isn't the first and he certainly won't be the last person to crash a lambo, haha. I'm just glad he's okay!
The more they chat the more followers he gets. Essentially the damages done to the car gets paid off and gets further profits. That’s how the world works 👍🏽
Sometimes, just chill
Social media for you isn’t it.
I did not read any of the comments. Just watched the video and had no idea people thought it was otherwise unless you are new. Nothing jumped out to me as fake. I was just genuinely concerned and glad Matt was okay. Great he is keeping it regardless as most guys would with their pride and joy if they could afford to. Good luck Matt
Mat, you created a monster, the monster was undriveable in the wet and it bit you, your owning the crash, you didn't kill anyone, respect!
Isnt that more luck?
Great chat Ben and Matt. I just wish people would get over themselves. Matt had a horrific accident and thankfully walked away, let him fix his own can and we get the pleasure of watching him do so.
*Mat*
I have semi slicks on my 350 bhp westfield seight. My car is impossible to drive in the wet or damp conditions. The lambo had the wrong tyre on it for the conditions. For road use it is not worth the risk. Great interview.
💯 on those tyres it don't take much to bash up a 1000hp
Mat I know you reading the comments.. Please come to South Africa. Your support here is massive!
Watched a few of your podcasts now. Finally subscribed, continue what you’re doing. 👍
Have to say, I’ve been guilty of thinking “why is Hannah filming herself driving and crying, isn’t this like the sort of Insta pity party where people can’t go through anything without videoing themselves like they’re the most important people in the world” - but actually Mat makes a fair point here. They all do make a living from creating content based on what’s going on in their lives, starting from car rebuilds, house rebuilds, his dad joining in, taking the mickey out of poor Tobey, even Kevin running around, so it’s only fair that if something like that happens and they’ve established that it’s not too private to share that the cameras are out.
Fair play to him & the crew. Love the channel, learned a lot about mechanics from it and now I’m a tinkerer myself. All the best.
You mean Tobehhh?😅yea I’m with you mate I been doing this longer than him and definitely should have started a channel with it, even though my business interests probably would suffer, fair play to him! He’s an inspiration to people and I always rate that.
Keep up the honesty and the humility, Matt. Great stuff, love your work!
Brilliant thanks for the update.
Another great interview, straight to the point 👍
Absolutely cracking video. Very truthful and well explained
Glad you enjoyed it
*Mat crashes.*
Ben is like: "Fire up the van!" 😂
The man is true to himself. Is relatable and easy to watch. Best on youtube hands down.
Came across you due to following Mat, Quick Look through your previous podcasts, very easy decision to hit subscribe!
Genuinely now in the best mood for today! Thanks 🙏
I'm only a recent subscriber to Matt's channel (my brother suggested I might be interested) and as everyone has pointed out there is a synergy between the team that is so enjoyable. Well done Matt and thanks for sharing this podcast Ben.
Between Mat, Autoalex & the drive tribe team you guys are making excellent content watched every video and they are brilliant! Was gutted to see the crashed video but knew you’d keep it and rebuilt. Keep up the hard work Mat! See you at Shedfest 🎉
Thanks for the vlog 👍
Great video guys!
Ignore the hate. It’s pure jealousy with the vast majority of people who watch these types of content. Personally I’m relieved that everyone was ok and you still get to do what anyone else can only dream of doing. Huge Respect to Mat, never stop being humble. Love the vids, just subbed to this channel on top. Great interview 👌
why is valid criticism considered jealousy? This twat is fooling you all.
Love it Mat!. Keep safe mate!!.
14:45 This time last year my Dad had a fall off his motorbike as I was out on a spin with him. After making sure he was OK and calling the Gardaí (Police) I called my wife and explained the situation, then after a minute or two she just started crying uncontrollably, even though she knew everything was OK. It's mad how the mind reacts.
Hannah would have had a whole heap of emotions going threw her. "Did Mat call? Why so many blue lights? Oh fuck the car is a mess, how did he get out?" Hannah's emotions in my opinion are real.
Great to hear the story from Mat. He's a great creator!
Watched a few of your interviews not to shammy liked and subscribed keep it up Ben
Great podcast guys 😎😎
Thanks for listening
I actually got pissed when I read the title. Yeah, he purposely crashed his Lamborghini in the middle Rolls-Royce Build. 🙄
Really like matt. Such a nice guy and pleased he has got to where he is. Such a nice man. Good to see good things happen to good people like him. Just a shame about his lovely lambo but none the less really enjoy watching his videos.
Great content - you need more followers, this is really well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Support ist kein Mord. Weiter so. Grüße aus dem Saarland.
Mat is one of the nicer guys on RUclips. Some people honestly 🤣🙈🚘😁👍
I just subscribed, but have been watching you for ages. Thx for reminding me as you just seemed to pop up anyway. Silly to not be following the faster driver 😂😂 as well as Matt
In regards to why people might prefer the crash damages build over a purchase, is that regardless of price the build is relatable. Even the Rolls, completely out of the ordinary budget, but how many people have brought a parts cars for their main build? Heaps of people! It's relatable, that's why it's popular. Yes, you coming from riding a BMX on pennies to buying supercars is inspiring, but it's possible people are coming for the builds and not the inspiration 🤷♂️
how this channel doesn't have a million+ followers baffles me.
Because everyone is listening and forgets to sub 😂
@@RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast 😅 subscribe folks!
MAT HAS PAYED HIS DUES. HE DESERVES THAT CAR. AND STILL THE BEST VIDEOS. NUFF SAID
After crashing a car into a ditch I realised that the only real way to get my thrills was by bicycle. I might only be doing 20 mph and those four gear changes as I beat a 3 cylinder car (that isn't even racing) from the lights across a box junction do not look thrilling, but I don't feel trapped in a tin box, inching towards my destination.
I now get automotive things second hand, by watching others on YT. Mat does this best in the UK and putting the car in the ditch to fix it again rather than just being an insurance claiming sheep is the way to go.
Every vehicle is doomed to get stacked, rust to pieces or get stolen. We don't need people having their hoard of fancy cars that have delivery mileage where the only thrill is a pop and a bang driving through a tunnel due to the YT a-crap-o-witch exhaust.
How are people a sheep for claiming on insurance? Not everyone has the know to fix cars. Also each to there own. Good luck in the rain buddy 😂
Nice watch.
Hello. I’m not sure how it works in the UK. In America, you have a couple of options when your vehicle gets wrecked. For instance, say you got into an accident. The insurance pays you for the car. You then have the option to purchase the car back fairly cheap. Then use the rest of the money from the pay out to repair the car. Enjoyed the content. Thanks for the details. Take care.
That was very informative. We should remember that this accident could have been much worse and Matt could have been badly injured. Thankfully the car's safety systems protected him and the only damage was to the car itself. I for one will enjoy the rebuild, it will be a challenge and one that Matt would have bypassed if he saw ir at Copart I am sure. But because this car has significance for him we will get to see it come back even better than before.
Glad your okay mate it's only metal you will fix it in no time. Legend❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mat is such a genuine oke man
"I like hearing the noise..." it was at that point, Mat's psyche omitted the "drive according to the conditions" rule. Thank the stars he is ok.
Honestly I don’t care that he has all the cars..good for him! I watch the channel because it’s interesting watching him build all these cars..I think he’s smashing it in life!
Unhinged... Classic.. Mat takes it all and is a good sport. I watched the crash video - and all of both yours of late. Muscle memory Mat...
Those of you who think you can handle a 400+ hp rear wheel drive car... haven't driven one! I see the humour in people making fun and all.. but if you cannot heal and toe / handle a fast corner using slip angle etc.. if these concepts are alien to you then go learn, do some track training, it might save your life. I'm super glad Matt didn't die or get injured full stop.
Even though I have never driven one..
I know I can handle a 400hp rear wheel drive car..
How do I know this?
My daily driver has 550hp at the tyres .😂
Modern bmw like esc/esp/cbc has made it far too easy for people to think they can drive, when all assists are off it’s a different story.
I dont like being told what to do normally but I subscribed. 😂😂😂😂
We will not let you down cliff 😂
For all those arseholes who said Mat's video was fake and Hannah was putting the tears on need to give their heads a wobble ! This guy is a genuine guy who has made it on RUclips by making honest real video's and all those haters are just Jealous and need to get a life !
I will never forget my first car a 1983 Vw Gti!
Did you drive down to Monaco in September last year with 2 gt3 ‘s and a Ferrari ?
Now subscribed😁
Welcome aboard!
"Um nowht uhh baad drive-uh." Single vehicle crash is literally the definition of a bad driver. A bad craftsman blames his tools, a bad driver blames the car, road, weather, etc. The car didn't crash itself. Fortunately he didn't kill somebody.
I'm noticing that people are just cruel, social media will bring about more keyboard warriors for a while but i hope in the long run it will make people become a little more open and supportive. Yeah make fun, but also say something nice afterwards, like "silly wally crashed his car, but i'm glad he's safe and ok". rather than just making fun of someone that just ruined his pride and joy.
Top man matt
If you’re in any doubt if he crashed the lambo on purpose, just look at his face after the crash and also Hannah’s reaction when she saw him. There truly is some sad people out there, Matts as genuine as they come!!
also about the crash, he shocked the rear axle during the gear shift (normal e gear behaviour) witch in term made the car loose grip (semislicks) and the rest is history
The head line On Purpose has another meaning. Matt informed us what his purpose is as a you tuber... Not my first thought but its not a total lie..
mat what shame you have to explain your self shouldnt have to.but with world full of trolls what can we expect.also big thank you to you with your posts love watching them been really sick with my bowel disease and my metal health helps so much to see videos love from Australia
Sounded just like his dad when he said subscribe at the end😂
It's always the same with online experts, I have a 700bhp m140i it's quick but not the quickest but I still get nervous in sport plus mode TCS off etc. You over cook a corner or slam the gas pedal and your facing the wrong way.
Love the t shirt
I love you guys God bless our mama for this love you guys we gonna be good take it easy brove it's all love from south africa
But you knew it was raining before you even left the unit. The sensible idea would have been to leave the Lambo in the unit and have Liam drop you off home.
He said before on his Instagram that when he left the house, it wasn’t raining and when he come out to go home again, it was
@thejmc1231 Yes, when he left his house, it wasn't raining fair enough, but it was later that day whilst he was at the unit fitting new parts to the Lambo. There was no need to risk driving home in 1000bhp car in the rain, especially with semi slicks tyres, when Mat could have easily jumped in the van with Liam for a lift home. As Mat already said himself, Liam was following behind.
@@shanesophie2012 that is indeed very true! Although he may not have felt comfortable leaving that lambo worth so much money in the unit that someone could potentially break into🤷🏼♂️
Hindsight however is a great thing indeed
Mat has to be one of the hardest working RUclipsrs. He lives at 100mph!
Great chat, you shouldn’t need to clear anything up on this.
I bet it really shook you up, I did a similar thing a few years ago in a 309GTI (not a Lamborghini 😂)
Click bait is pretty desperate. Hannah is also visibly pissed and concerned in his original video.
Mat always comes across so normal and despite being filthy rich and popular now he seems like the exact same dude I watched years ago jacking up cheap cars to squeeze underneath to fix things lol.
It's easier to destroy than create, the green eyed monster at play here for the people questioning his motives
Really weird about VVS in Cranbrook. I have been there to look at a car and then the salesman took us to look at all the others they had and even some they were storing for customers. Must of spent a couple of hours there.
How dose that make u feel?!?!?!😂😂😂 absolutely Devo man…
i think why lambo didn't do well is because it was clean. people who love to watch cars being resurrected back to life might not enjoy "ruining" something that was perfectly fine
Great you both covered those speculations
Ok yes mat will benefit from the youtube revenue of rebuilding it
But doubt many people gonna crash their pride and joy that hard and risk injuring them self for a youtube series when they got enough project present and in the pipeline to earn plenty of cadh from
And they call them semi slicks but realistically they are slicks as they disperse water about as well as our boarder control work
Really glad that was click bait, I would have been really disappointed if he had crashed this on purpose.
If u wonder what it’s like to drive a car with slicks in the rain, go go karting in the rain then in the dry and see the difference 🤯
That girl clearly loves you Mat. Anyone would have reacted the way she did at seeing their other half in a ditch. And she knows how much that car means to you so she was upset for you too. Some people just have to look for the negative 🙄
The biggest flag was "30mph",there's no way you do that much damage at 30.
He makes out like he’s being upfront and honest but he’s not. (I really don’t wanna be that guy but) The front windows are illegally tinted in the crash video. He crashed in the dark and wet that’s the easiest (claim denied) the insurance company could get. We all know insurance companies argue and do anything they can to get out of paying it’s just the way they are. So to summarise he knows full well the insurance weren’t gonna pay so he’s made out like it was his choice not to claim to avoid embarrassment and haters. 😊
completely incorrect im afraid mate. Theres nothing to prove that the car has or ever had illegal tints. everything on the cars insured. My insurance guy regularly visits my shop. Im shocked you know more about my insurance than me tbf
@@MatArmstrongbmx mate come off it on your “I crashed my Lamborghini” video at 15:40 the windows are literally black. Deny it as much as you want that’s illegal. I’m not slagging you off for it. Me and my girlfriend have both been done for it and they were no where near as dark as that.
@@markrogers423 no worries mate 🙌
I've driven fast cars on the road and track for near 30 year. Only crash i was responsible for was in a 1.0 ltr nissan doing about 30 mph. Its when you don't expect it!!
I worked out for Matt how fast he was going when it went of the road...42-44 mph, very unfortunate
42-44 in 30 zone ?
@@deansmyth8775 it was a 50 zone
I live on the estate opposite, it's 30 mph it don't go to 50 until approach the top of the hill coming away from the houses
How’s it work with insurance having a 4x4 delete ?
It doesn't matter if he didn't go through insurance.
content in it
Hannah, you should advise mat to wear different shirt i reckon. Maybe a hoodie? Or other attire that can cover ‘that one’ you just give to mat.
8:16 bro just said he never took it in the wet before but you said when you first bought the car it was raining. Explain what I’m missing please lol
RUclips drama queens😅this didn’t *need* to be addressed, glad he’s alright though now to monetise it as much as possible😅mats a legend mate I rate his business sense
These titles/thumbnails are getting desperate.
"On Purpose" bit of a click bait there.
When I first saw the crash video the first thing that popped into my head was Bit Hollywood mate 🤔 that shit was orchestrated will we ever find out ?
It's not a natural reaction to grab your camera it's become a normal reaction for you Mat. You've programmed yourself to be filming everything as it could be good content for your brand, which is fine cos people ask for it and enjoy being on your journey.
I’ll subscribe when Matt finally beats you in a race 😁
I was just thinking of the parallels with Simon George's Murci, for the love of Lambo's. eh?
Can’t believe anyone thought it was fake, he’s got enough success already and get millions of views every video why would he risk crashing a car on purpose it would be madness.
" On purpose "? I thought u guys r frnds😢 frnds protect each other especially from media
Rashford didn't make fun of you?
After making a comment on mats video about the crash, something along the lines of; thanks for being honest about the lack of talent, many people now a days would try hide this. It takes a lot to say you ran out of talent.
Keep smashing it (the videos not the cars), you got this mat 👌
Let's see the dash cam footage ?
Glad you got him on for this… still can’t figure out why y’all stay in this rainy country with no proper roads 😂. The people are so friendly here though so I get that.
I dont think Mat crashed the Lambo on purpose. It can happen to anyone driving @ 150mph in the wet with slicks on! 😎
'Just about afford one' 😂
