What a special day this was, thank you Alex and everyone involved for putting on this mega event. We weren't even sure Alex could tie his own laces let alone pull this off in 12 days, it just goes to show how good the car community is. To Matt and his family, you are amazing people and it was an absolute honour to meet you.

This event goes to show how amazing and supportive people can be. Big respect to Alex and everyone involved.

I am currently in floods of tears lying in a hospital bed feeling sorry for myself and this has truly helped me put things into perspective. This is Simply the most heartwarming moment in youtube history. I am so proud and happy that Alex has managed to pull off such a amazing job to help some truly deserving people. Big love from me 💜

WHAT A DAY, 'The Hamster' Mike Brewer, all those KZreadrs with their messages... Alex, You knocked it right out of the park fella. 👍👌 😎🇬🇧

Was awesome to be a part of this. Well done Alex & friends for organising and love to the Pollard family!!

I'm not crying, you're crying! This was simply amazing. What an example of what the car community can do.

I can't express how moved I am by this effort for Matt, his dad, and their family. I spent 2020 and 2021 fighting cancer, and I know the kind of stress it puts on a family. I am well now, and I just want to say a heartfelt thanks to Alex and all the auto KZreadrs in this video. Thanks for supporting Matt, and thanks for running your channels. When I was in treatment, I spent probably hundreds of hours watching all of your channels. It made me look forward to a time when I could get back in the garage on my own projects. Ride on, Matt!

Easily the best KZread episode in the history of KZread. This is such an amazing story. Told by Alex about Matt and his family, supporting cast from TV and KZreads finest, then finely watched and loved by all of us car nuts and warm hearted people that we are in this crazy world of auto fanatics. Well done to all involved simply amazing.

Alex, I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. You and everybody who helped put this together should be so proud of themselves. Huge congratulations for making this happen and giving Matt and his family a memory they won’t forget as well as their lovely MX-5 ! This is exactly the kind of content that the platform needs. Hats off to you. I look forward to what’s to come on the channel.

Inspiring. Alex what an amazing thing you have done, I’m so proud to be part of the car community. Keep smiling Matt.

No gatekeeping, no trash-talkers, no trolls...just everybody enjoying their 4 wheeled toys...THIS is what the car community should be about. I dont know how expensive this was to put together, but if Mattwood were to become an annual thing, it'd be awesome.

This is what the car “community” is all about, massive well done to everyone involved and massive shout out to Matt for inspiring us all, you’re a legend

Rewatching this video after hearing the sad news that Matt has passed away 😢,

For the past 9 years or so that I’ve been watching your videos, this has to be the best video you have ever made. Full of emotions from start to finish. So happy to see Matt having such a great day. Top job Alex and team, you have done us, as a car community proud.

This is a great example of why communities exist :) Great job Alex and team!

Wow that was absolutely incredible! I had tears in my eyes for the whole time, so moving and inspiring. Alex you’ve done a incredible job and everyone who attended. I wish I could have been there! Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to next years one.

I've never cried all the way through a car video, before. This was amazing. Thank you for sharing with the world everything we can be.

So happy to see Alex becoming a chaotic force for good within the car community!

Bring on Mattwood 2023! This is what the carmunity is about!❤️

The car show is giving me massive Car SOS vibes: making someone's once decayed car refreshing new again, and even giving a show dedicated for the car as a goodwill attitude for the family and everyone who enjoy cars. Honestly, well done Alex, you pulled this quite well!

This needs to be No.1 on trending. Such an awesome event and nice to see the community coming together. Great work Alex!

Alex. Mate. You're honestly an utter legend. The lengths you'll go to to make other people's lives better/less sh*tty in bad times is absolutely inspirational and... yeah. You hero.

The shot of Matt and his father driving on the track was truly heart warming. Bless your heart Alex and company. You guys did a fantastic job bringing this young man and his family some happiness. Best wishes to you, your mother and your family, Matt.

As a dad of a cancer survivor I understand all too well how time is so so important. So well done to all who turned up and a bigger well done to Alex, what a true star this young fella is. And then to Matt, thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Keep fighting buddy.......

So much respect for Alex and everyone who made that day unforgettable. Just proves there are still nice people in this world

Spent the whole video holding back tears, absolutely amazing stuff. I'm suffering from an illness that will stop my ability to stop driving a car soon, I got diagnosed with MS on my 40th birthday and it was secondary progressive, I've gone from a fit and strong Steel worker to someone who can barely hold a cup of tea in 2 years, I used to love working on cars but now I can't. I love seeing stuff like this.

@@hans747 for sure and in honour of Matt, to interact with him while he’s still here (hopefully for many years) but more importantly to remember him when he’s not.

Richard Hammond has pretty much achieved everything as a motoring journalist, and to see him taking time off to attend this event is just amazing. I've been a big fan of Top Gear, and subsequently The Grand Tour and Drivetribe, and it's so refreshing to see someone I worshipped as a kid, actually being kind and humble in real life. Brilliant. If you're reading this Richard, thank you!

Once again I can’t wait to watch this video purely because your considerate and selfless attitude makes me incredibly happy. Thank you so much for helping people who may be in need!

Wow, the amount of people from the car world featured in this is astonishing from such a small channel. Absolute props to Alex and everyone involved in setting this up. Incredible. And to see it all set up in such a short amount of time is a testament that people can be a force for good sometimes. Although I must admit, I'm a little disappointed not to see at least a short video from Clarkson and May, they had the connection through Hammond and Mike Fernie and there's no way they didn't ask for one, wonder why they didn't get one.

Incredible. Unfortunately it was news of Matt's passing that made me aware of this, and of Matt and his family's story, but I'm sat sobbing at my work desk. RIP Matt. So special that these memories are there for his family now, and, of course, the mazda

I'm 31 and only got my driving license in November last year but I love and adore cars since my childhood. I was 4 years old when my dad put me on his lap and let me turn the steering wheel while driving at a very low speed. This video made me remember that moment and how glad I am to have a dad to let me do it because without that first time probably I would not be that much into cars. I loved every second of this video and it is just undescribable to me how it makes me feel. I have never ever seen anything like this before and makes me glad just thinking that an internal combustion engine on 4 wheels, throughout history created such an amazing community and connects people from different places around the world even if there is war and hatred in other places. Unfortunately from where I'm from, such an incredible gathering seems to be impossible but it makes me happy watching you guys. I take off my hat to all of you who managed to create Mattwood. Alex, you are one of a kind and you should be cloned. When it's needed you can be funny and also be a bit annoying (but in a positive, funny way) but when the time comes and others need your help, you literally overdo anything and exceed expectations. I think you belong to the rest of the car community heroes who inspire us to just go for a drive without a destination in mind, just be with our car. Yeah, long comment... the video made me emotional and remembered me why I love cars and to who I need to thank for that.

This was PHENOMENAL Alex. Have to admit I was a bit concerned as to what AutoAlex was going to be, and I'm so glad to see that it's a platform for you to be a massive force for good in the community. Cannot wait to see this channel grow and grow!

This video was breathtaking . What a pleasure it was to be a part of it! Alex and the team your awesome. Matt and the family on behalf of all the car scene we wish you all the love and happiness in the world. Big love - hope your loving the mx5.

Alex, you and the team could retire this page today and still have accomplished more than most would in a lifetime. This was such a beautiful thing to do and all for a stranger whose story touched you who also has a passion for cars. Absolutely amazing!! Imagine what you could pull off for Mattwood 2023!!

This is solid proof that the car community is one of the greatest communities out there!

After a horrible night at work, I really needed something this wholesome in my life.

Words don't do it justice. Thanks Alex for showing the very best of not only the car community but just people in general.

The car community is the best.Genuinely feels like a big family. We bicker over 0-60 times, JDM, tuner, classics, whatever but we can all come together and support each other when we need it most.

A true showing of what happens when people forget about worries that don't need to be worried about, well done Alex and crew for constructing one of the most moving showings of the car community in the past decade. Brilliant.

I'm not crying into my coffee on a Friday morning.......YOU ARE. Wonderful.....just wonderful everything Alex. This is what makes this whole community worth it.

Alex, Rory, everyone involved; Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant. Matt, bring in Mattwood 2023!

16:17 You know it's a special occasion when Theo brings out his R34 GTR, that car is his absolute baby, and so it's nice to see him & Meadow out driving it!

Alex, as a progressing survivor, I am completely blown away. I truly believe you changed young Matt’s life. I know how hard his diagnosis is. In 2019, my doctor found a tumor in the back of my mouth after I lost my voice. What I though was a simple case of bronchitis quickly turned into an emergency. I was rushed to surgery in Dallas Texas where they removed my soft palate and half of my hard palate. (Almost the entire roof of my mouth) As of last Monday, April 10th, 2023, we have completed 21 surgeries! I was 46 when my journey started so I wanted to share my story with young Matt. If an old redneck from Texas can keep it going, Matt will soar like an eagle. For everyone, live every day like its your last, you never know what’s around the corner. Stay strong Matt. Alex my friend, y’all are freaking awesome over there!

This is why I’ve been a car enthusiast as long as I can remember. Alex you’ve managed to bring together a group of people who share a passion that has transcended not only different makes and models and car types but country borders as well. What you’ve created isn’t a car community but a car family. Love the work you’re doing Alex ❤️

This is the car community at its finest, love to Matt and his family.

This is what the car community is all about a brotherhood of like minded enthusiasts supporting eachother

This is hands down the most beautiful KZread content ever created, faith in humanity restored again. Best of luck Matt and family

What a hero 👏 what a collection of the community amazing what you achieved Alex 👍 best content yet

Was an AMAZING day, the car community can come together in such a powerful way, loved every second of it

Massive RESPECT to Alex and all of the others for setting up all of this for Matt in just 12 days 👏👏👏 Someone is cutting onions in here right now!! 🥹❤️

This is a lasting reminder of why I love the car community, put aside all differences and embrace the things we love, for an absolutely fantastic cause.. gutted I couldn’t make it, sent funds to just giving, I hope Matt and his family create incredible memories.. I look forward to Mattwood 2023..

I don't usually comment, but this video was something special. It is amazing to see the solidarity within the car community in the UK and worldwide. All the best to Matt and his family. I strive to be as fearless as he is, one day.

Fuck, I can't stop crying. 😭❤️ Absolutely heart warming!

This is TERRIFIC Alex! This is what the car community should be all about... Brilliant stuff

As someone who lives in Australia, it was crazy seeing Marty. Couldn't have chosen a better representative of the AUS car scene. Great job Alex & Team.

Alex and everyone involved, I want to thank you, for this amazing gesture to Matt's family and this beautiful video. I don't know how to say this properly, but as a cancer patient myself, actually the exact same glioblastoma Matt has, I feel supported. Thank you for this beautiful message. Hope the best for you Matt. Kind regards, Stan from The Netherlands

Love this! One of the best videos from the car community this year imo! Wonderful to see so many car people pulling together for this. Thanks for all you're doing Alex, fantastic job to sort this event in such a short space of time! 👍

This is more than just a KZread video. It’s proof that sometimes humans are capable of wonderful things. If there’s anything that should last forever for what comes after us to show that we existed and we were good, it’s this.

Not that Alex wasnt impressive already but him going solo has pushed him up a tier! Absolutley epitomises everything about community spirit.

Alex, this is such an amazing gesture/gift! This is the kind of content we need more of in the car community. Showing support to others, kindness, compassion and a love for cars. Incredible job!

This was absolutely amazing. All the best to Matt and his family. 😊

Alex what a guy! An awesome car for such a deserving family! The car community is the best it really is!

Awesome that so many people attended! Even Marty tuning in from down under! What an amazing car enthousiast community we have!

What an amazing thing to do for him Alex this channel is just amazing!

Absolutely amazing. This is what the community is all about. Thanks to all involved.

I know that car community is capable of big things but is still keeps to amaze me what a community that comes together can do. Wish I could be there. Props to everyone, I was smiling the whole video :D

About 5 years ago I discovered Project MX-5, and just like Matt it inspired me to purchase my very own MX-5. Kinda saw myself in him in a way, and seeing him, his family and everyone involved with this smile in such a way warms my heart. Thank you Alex. After many years you still find ways to make the life of Matt, myself and tons of people so much brighter. Still, my MX-5 will one day be faster than yours!

Bloody hell..... Another video that get you in the feels.... An emotional rollercoaster....... Massive congratulations to all involved...... Probably one of the best videos you'll see on here all year....... 😭😭😭

Absolutely brilliant guys and girls, really awesome thing that everyone did for Matt and his family. 💙

Alex mate you keep making me cry could you stop it. Just that video feed alone was incredible, you do so much for the community - I just hope you know we all appreciate you big time.

You can tell Hammond was serious about making it in one piece because he drove Oliver. That car is weirdly my favourite TopGear vehicle of all time, it's just so special

Wow, that was just amazing to see how everyone came to together for this event in such a short time. Looked like Matt had a good time!

Been smiling all the way through this video! Amazing event for an awesome cause! Props for all the people who were involved. This proves that there is good in this world. Sending out good vibes to all who are watching and reading, stay humble folks!

Alex you're going to become the Cilla Black of the car world, SURPRISE! SURPRISE! On a serious note what you pulled off was absolutely incredible, a real gent with huge heart, and well done to the car community for pulling together

And to think a few months ago you were kicking off this channel not knowing where life would take you. What an accomplishment. You’ve made yourself and the automotive community proud. Great cause, and best wishes to the Pollard family x

Alex, you’re the man. You and Matt deserve absolutely everything good that’s coming to you

You know, apart from all the fantastic things this video embodies, it's shot really well. Great work on Rory's part there for filming and editing (again in a short amount of time). PLUS V10 MX-5 Vs Phil confirmed! Said they should pit them against each other as soon as they announced they were building it on DriveTribe. Great to see some interaction between UK based automotive KZreadrs!

It's funny isn't it alot of people say mx5s are crap but with every good story a mx5 always bring us together... Matt your a legend

It's official! Humanity has not yet left the building. Mesmerising, heart wrenching to watch. What a perfect looking day. Nuff said

I wish I could’ve attended to help Matt out and be a part of such an extraordinary event. Well done Alex!

Never has a KZread video brought such raw emotion to people all over the world. I never thought a KZread video could have made me emotional but wow!!

THIS is what the car community is all about! Alex you're an absolute LEGEND 🔥🔥

"World's Greatest Car Show" I love your modesty. In all seriousness, Big respect for a worthy cause. ♥

With my mum in hospital and given a very short time to live this has lifted my spirits . Seeing Matt and his family living their best life in a time of real trials for the is just fantastic. Well done Alex mate, all the clowning about is great fun but this shows the real man . More power to you and continued success 👍👌

11 hours of footage for a 21 minute video? I wanted a 2 hour long video 😩l can’t get enough

What a selfless act from everybody, the reason the car community will always be important to me. Hats off Alex
