I REBUILT MY LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO THEN ATTEMPTED GUMBALL 3000
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I had 3 days to get my Lamborghini Murcielago ready for the Gumball 3000 rally. It was left abandoned and i bought it and attempted to rebuild the full car with my dad. The start of the raill was at Edinburgh Scotland heading down to London. But there was a big chance we would run into some issues along the way.

This guy is so humble, even when things are complicated and in shambles he continues to smile and move forward. Absolutely epic
What separates Mat from everyone on that start line is that no one else has the courage, the knowledge or the relationship with their dad to rebuild a V12 that was essentially on the scrap heap. These are priceless memories stemming from a father/son relationship that the world needs more of. Love your work guys.

Absolutely, it is rare to find a mechanic that doesn't get aggravated and lose their patience at some point working on a car - Rainman Ray is the only other guy I've seen who is like this too, because that certainly is not me! The times I've sent a broken part, broken tool, or random expensive wrench flying into the night are countless and I think almost every mechanic reaches this point sometime, where you just have to go away from the project then come back later...

I love that Mat has something like 4 other cars he could have used on this event, cars that he's had long enough to work out all the bugs, but instead he chooses to go with the one that he barely got put back together. And that's why his channel is growing so fast, because he has the courage to go full send even when he knows he probably shouldn't.😅

There’s so many things to love about this channel. The authenticity, the grind, the hunger, the optimism, the BMX, the cars, the humbleness and doing cool shit with dope cars with your ol’ man. It’s the channel only Matt had the vision for and here we are, everything we didn’t know we needed. Big up that man
You are by far my absolute fav youtuber on the platform. Seriously, youve got my respect. From building my dream car, the GT3 (RS), to being and staying positive, to being a hard working man to make his dreams come true. I was literally happy for you to get invited to gumball. You deserve it Mat! Have an awesome journey. Greets from the Netherlands
Taken me a while to realise but I think the reason you're so much better than other youtubers is the way you speak. No words are wasted. Very clear, easy to listen to. No pointless waffle which is so refreshing. No um's, likes, hesitation, pauses. It's just great to listen to and I think that's what puts you in a different league.

after watching Shmees gumball journey i was left feeling unimpressed, like yea it’s cool to have 6 cars and to have all those rich guys have fun talking about who’s gonna get the biggest ticket etc.. But Matt’s trip to gumball is so much cooler and rewarding. All the troubles he had to go through to make it there. Literally working on his car right before the race start. That’s the real spirit of Gumball. I think him and his dad will never forget that experience unlike other participants

Awesome work mat glad to see you get to the finish line with your dad 🤙🏼❤️
