    Matt you have not wasted your 20’s in any way. A successful business, a great RUclips channel which entertains millions of people every year, and you seem to be a genuinely well adjusted human. Congrats on getting healthier physically and mentally, that’s always a good move. Enjoy the beautiful new car, you deserve it.

    Hi, Matt. This has been an incredibly helpful video. I’m coming up to 26 now, and don’t feel overly happy despite quite a lot of work and fingers crossed about to buy my third property Which has come at the expense of not socialising as much as I wanted to, having the relationships I wanted to have, we’re getting on with my family as well. It’s been quite relentless. This video has been an eye-opener, I’m still going to work hard, but definitely make a bit more room for the important things in life. Thank you very much, love the videos, very inspirational.

    I am going through the same thing right now… stuck in a huge rut. I’m a caregiver to my sick father, 40 years old, had to leave work to care for others. I want to do real estate but I’m honestly scared of failure at this point in life. It makes me happy knowing that there’s a way out and that others have made their life better after being stuck for years.

    Hi Matt, I was delighted to hear that you have managed to "get your shit together" and feel so much happier as a result.
    Your story reminds me of my life in the late 1980's. I was working in a job I started to hate, was paid a significant amount of money but not happy. Decided to 'jump off the roundabout" but before I did I wanted a final fling.
    My lovely wife worked in the motor trade at the time and had connections with a leasing company who were planning a weekend sell-off of some nice metal. Long story short in 1989 I bought a 1988 Carrera 3.2 wide body cabriolet !!! Loved it to bits; had it for 6 months and sold it for a £4000 profit.
    With the proceeds we bought a small farm in Scotland and started our new life.
    Been living in France for the last 20-odd years and regret not a thing - life is for the living, not merely the surviving.
    Enjoy your new toy... Dave

    Congratulations on the mental and physical health improvements, Matt - a great result! The new car is lovely too. A guy I know used to have a 430 Scuderia. He always left it at work, so that if he had a bad day at the office, he'd drive the Ferrari home instead of his daily car - and that way he said he always arrived home after a bad day feeling great! You could do that too. :-) . In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your new car and look forward to your future videos.

    Hello Matt, I think with whats been going on in the last year or so has affected all of us that are running small businesses, but there are some things you need to remember - you are the boss and no one can come in and just decide to get rid of you after all your hard work you have done building the business, having had that done to me several times in my life, which causes immense stress and worry, I now consider that to be the most important thing in running a business. Also consider all the people you help supplying them with a reliable and honestly described new motor, there lives and stress are going to be better as a result of your care and attention to the vehicles you sell them. We all have our heads down working hard, its not wasted years just look at what you have built - its a fantastic success! Enjoy your new car, I did a similar thing a few years back buying an XJ40 V12 6.0 to add to my collection - i should have kept it...........maybe one day I will get another............keep going you entertain us all!

    Wow Matt it’s 😍 the colour the looks the noise and………….2 cup holders !!!!!! What more could a man ask for!!! I personally don’t think you’ve wasted your twenties, your reaping the rewards of making sacrifices in your twenties to get what you have now and boy look what you have 👏👏👏 you deserve what you’ve worked for and life is too short as they say. You’ve worked bloody hard to get where you are and you entertain thousands of us lot with your great videos that must also take up lots of your time with filming and editing etc so you deserve a treat or two ….or three or four or …. Ok I’ll shut up now . Awesome car and thanks for all the awesome videos 😁👍

    Matt, life is too short and you never know what tomorrow brings. Good for you and if you or anyone are in a position anytime in life to put a smile on you face, do it. I turn 60 very soon, was made redundant a year ago, scary time but thankfully I got back in to a job I enjoy and treated myself to a newer 5 year old car which was the right move for me because a few months later it still puts a smile on my face when driving and I even look back at it after I park it up (forgot to add, it’s the soul red colour, now you understand😁). Not bad for a 2.2L diesel AWD, but I love it. Ps, it’s also my first auto box (torque converter) what was I thinking all these years driving a manual.😆

    Thank you for sharing your life stuff. We all go through patches of feeling a bit behind the curve in life. Inspiring to hear you got back on track ( and 12kg in 12 weeks is a great achievement - now keep it off ! :-) ). Wishing you safe driving in the new machine. Of all the cars you considered, only the Bentley or i3 would turn my head. But your machine is the pick of the bunch. Here in Prague, I've only seen a couple. The E63 is the cashed up "gopnik"'s car of choice here. Their other car is, of course, a G-Wagon. Never go there Matt ha ha

    Superb choice Matt and one I have considered strongly myself alongside my own Range Rover. I went 911 GT3 in the end because I really wanted a manual box, and haven’t regretted it but boy is the AMG a beautiful car. Only beaten for beauty by the Morgan Aero Coupe/Aeromax in my opinion.

    My impression is that you enjoy the car journalism and occasional car rescue projects more than day to day used car dealing ? You produce great content on here and hopefully that will lead somewhere for you in due course but your content is so grounded in the used car business that if there's enough hours in the day you should try to keep all your plates spinning for now. This car is a beauty , congratulations on what you've achieved so far !

    If it makes you feel any better Mat, I passed my HGV when I was 21 and worked as a long distance driver until I was 29. The memories of the best years of my life are being parked in lay-bys and industrial estates, sleeping in a truck and eating fast food every day. I’ve worked driving HGV’sfor a supermarket for the last 7 years. Dropped all the weight, home every night and surrounded by dolly birds on my deliveries so things are better now. But it’s not just you who wishes you could turn the clock back

    They are lovely machines I have to agree.
    Strongly tempted to head back to the 500+ BHP days of Corvette ownership, only in one of these instead.
    Congrats on the new indulgence! 👍

    As for the Merc our new neighbour has one and I have dubbed him “the drug dealer”.I think he is an accountant.He has built a fortified gate at the side of his house for fear of getting it stolen.Every one in the road is upset at the noise it makes as he sets off for work.Nice car though.

    Love the videos and absence of click bait. Having a 13 car garage finance by 10% dipper and interest only finance is simply boring. Good, honest, real world reviews. The sponsoring you have to do, to cover the time of putting these together, you are forgiven 😂.
    Currently an expat in Dubai, really enjoyed the recent Land Rover reviews as looking for one for myself for when visiting home with the family.
    Love the amg gt, I have the same plan to have the daily and one of these alongside. Just pure class, for me, nothing competes with what this car is in terms of looks, performance and value. Stunning! Congrats!
