the thing i love about Mat compared to other channels is that 1. He posts long videos with actual content 2. He's never changed since the beginning 3. Most importantly, he is consistent with his uploads and doesn't just upload when viewership is high or just to satisfy sponsors Thanks Mat!!
may I add the integration of the product placement into the storytelling? Understandable he needs to make a living from these videos, and they are a lot of work to produce... so product placement is a "necessary evil", but when it is no break, but integrated into the story it is much less disturbing.
Another thing? He advertises his sponsors in a way that doesn't sound like an advert, or pressuring folks to buy. It's more like, "I use this stuff myself, I love it, my friends and family love it so you should try it too."
No they don’t, litterly stopped him because they’re some fanboys who want to meet Mat. Imagine being Mat and being pulled over for nonsense because they just want to meet him.. 🤡
It is strange, coming home from work, getting kids to bed, being so tired and being totally done for the day but getting hella excited whenever you see Mat and crew put up another video 😻keep up the good stuff!
And as an Australian, I am deeply offended when bands like Split Enz, Mi-Sex, Dragon and artists like Keith Urban and Sharon O'Neill are called 'Australian'. They're not ours, never have been, which is why New Zealand deserves the credit for them all being awesome.
I actually love videos with just your dad, his laugh is so contagious. He enjoys working with you on your passion and it makes it worth while to watch him
I must say mat 's personality is like santa clause it seems like he never has a bad day or attitude..what a breath of fresh air..i guess thats why he is killing it on RUclips
@@jochenrudiger I am not familiar of Adam my dude ...I am here in America..that is a question to ask them..I bet he is no where near as charismatic as mat so there is your answer..
I love the optimisim and general 'feel good' factor about this channel, I know next to nothing about the workings of cars, but love the videos non the less.
Man, your Dad's smile and laugh always give good vibes in your videos! I remember when I was young, me and my dad used to do things in our cars. I work abroad so we only have the time to do things in his car during my vacation.
I'd love to see light blue LEDs in the gaps around that white wheel cover so of an evening it looks like a vehicle from the movie TRON: Legacy. Not sure how it would go passing a MOT though.
I am super super happy that you get the Mc LAREN fully fixed and fully legal . Take care under the rain . I can't wait to see you work on the R&R MANSORY .
@0:15: "…I need some water - which, in the UK, is not allowed, if you're permanently importing one of these cars…" - wow, those are some very strict laws you've got over there, mate! 😮🤪😂
Don't you all want to be his friend? This guy (and family/team) have this kind of energy that pumps you up so much. I don't even care about cars that much and I watch hours long videos made by Mat!! Keep it coming man, you make people happier and you 1000% deserve your success.
4 years since you sat at that desk, now you have a Maserati, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce-ish, and a fair decent house Any regrets...?! Hard Work AND Talent. Truly Inspirational.
And in the early days I couldn’t help thinking that he had strong support from his dad, although it wasn’t acknowledged. Now it is, and Tony is becoming one of the stars of the content.
Hey Mate,you are such a lucky chap to have such a wonderful father,kudos to him for getting you out of a lot of jams and helping you thru alot of late nights . Love the channel,Cheers!!
I've been following Mat RELIGIOUSLY from Kenya in East Africa where the car culture is growing crazily! You should come over with the crew sometime Mate! Youll enjoy the car culture here as well as a well deserved safari. Im planning a build soon and would be good having you just torquing a bolt😂
Matt, best way to know what Fiberoptic is, it's that cable you can use from your TV to sound bar that has the red light in it. But it's a high speed connection.
The thing I love about the second channel is that (especially for the absence of music) it makes you feel like you’re talking to your friends at a bar, absolutely love it!😂❤
It’s so nice you have your farther working with you .When l grow up my dad fix all my cars watch him put gear boxers in do brakes help my brother build cars ford was his favourite my brothers now build there own cars xy falcon and he bested spray painter he would never done any of it with my farther help . Sadly my farther no longer with us but we cherish all the memories. Love the video 😊
Those replacement discs on the wheels completely transformed this car, looks so much better! Man I love both your channels, it's like Christmas to me every time there's a new post. Didn't want this one to end 😢
I’ve chased electrical gremlins with those solder Shrink connections like on that light harness. If it’s near anything hot it melts the solder but the vinyl keeps the wires together. Then when it cools the solder is solid again and you can’t figure out what the hell is going on.
@@gdfggggg, I just use a hot air gun to melt the solder when I use them. Not sure on the temperature they melt at (but I have some 70 degrees solder for other uses)
Awesome content! Actually, the only thing I didn't like on this channel is that I miss the ending song on every video loooooollll "you're like a drug that I just can't deny, give me the best high..." ❤
I've used those solderstick connectors many times in a 3D printing environment. They are quite good, but in high heat change or vibration environments they can be quite hard to verify. Suggest you re-clip wires and dip the ends in flux paste before you heat them - i get more reliable results that way
I love how tony doesnt even react to them taking the piss,just gives a few facial expression that speak volumes. Seems a propper Gent.! Channels Mega matt.! Well done.!🎉 👍
@@TheSportCaveMemorabilia that’s not how it looked to me in the video, definitely looked like it was available for purchase first, then Mat says after correspondence that he could have for a shout out, hence why he messaged saying he could get one for £75+vat good luck with the sale/auction etc. , if it’s the case you was going to give and help which I do my best to do also, then why list on eBay for £999? Nice one for reaching out to Mat, and for offering for a mention/shout out
@@TheSportCaveMemorabilia agreed £999 is a joke, but, when it comes to things that ‘celebs’ have owned, used or even touched, people do ask silly money for it.
I actually drove passed you the other day when the cops were behind you, I just finishing a job at TK Max as I seen you at the lights. I should have waited longer in the car park. The car looks incredible in real life. Well done!!!
Long time air up user here, used it for 3-4 years and never let me down! It is amazing, i'm getting a new metal one for summer. Ive had my Royal Blue one for the entire journey, its a bit.....scratched....now...
Funny thing is, the guy with the mirror cap could have got to meet Mat and make a contribution to the project, which would have made a great story for him to tell people about. Instead he saw it as an opportunity to try and take advantage of Mat financially. Beggars can’t be choosers. Prime example of how greed will backfire at you. I’d be embarrassed if I was him.
Mat, your wheels give your car the vibe of an ice cream truck, especially bubblegum ice cream. Sorry, mate, but I think losing the white trim would be a good idea
thanks for your response to my Q Peter. much appreciated. Always been fascinated by Bernie, specifically his approach to business...empire building really, in Bernie' case. One of the few people in the world that I would absolutely love to sit down and share a few drinks with and pick his brain on business strategy and execution.
