I have watched most car programmes on tv over the decades and that’s a lot for a 64 year old, but Mat’s KZread recordings are now my most eagerly awaited. Just love his charisma and honesty. How can you not like him, Tony and those who share his enthusiasm. I think most of us who watche him, wish we had the balls to do what he has done. Keep it up Mat 👍

You have said it better...he's that good. Over here from South Africa.
Mat is the king of advertising. Weaves his ad into the video where you can’t skip it or you’ll miss the content of the build. So clever. Even this car vertical ad.

The Tony and other Mat show
I am 56 years old , I watch a few channels , Tavarish to Harry’s Garage , don’t see them as rivals each are different, Mat and his team is just great , it’s the personality, they are the Modern day version of Clarkson , May and Hammond , a national treasure . I love hate watching Shmee , DDE etc but do watch but Mat always makes me smile and laugh , keep up the great work 👍

Schmee started to get annoying and kinda cringy. But when he starts talking about the cars and mechanics he’s fun to watch but there’s only so many times you can hear a man say this is mine mine, I bought this, that’s my new car etc… I sound envious and face it, we all would be but it gets a tad irritating. That’s why I stopped watching strad, he was fun bit now he just shouts a lot

The best part of Matt's videos is the moments with his dad. Wish I had done more with my dad when he was around. Matt enjoy every day you have with your dad because you never know when it's your last.
The only thing that has got me glued to Mats videos is that he’s so decent with his manners, no ego, no umps, no swearing… no matter what..brilliant, keep it up, the world is waiting for you with a throne massively bigger than Amazon or Netflix…

I think that the reason why MA is becoming so popular is that it's totally unscripted and is pretty much "What you see is what you get!"👍
Should deffo try and get mats dad on for a podcast, that would be epic😅..brilliant pod yet again Ben👏🏼💯
I bumped into Mat one day while at SEMA. I just briefly told him I had been watching since he rebuilt his Bentley in the beginning and enjoyed everything. He seemed like he didn't know how to handle it well as he states in this video so I just kept it short, let him be, and enjoy the trade show.He is just a nice normal car guy with a huge KZread channel.
Theres definitely enough youtube space to watch Mat, Chris Slix, Tavarish, saving salvage, CCD etc without them being competitors. I watch them all, and more weekly. The growth of Mats channels is staggering tho

Mat nailed it about saying it feels like we’re there with him. I personally love how real he is. It’s like your just down the garage with your mates working on cars
Genuinely love Mat's Dad, he's such a legend man, never seen him without a smile or laughing.
Mat really comes across well as a decent guy who is fun but doesn't have an ego. He seems so down to earth and makes incredible content. Thank you Mat. Cannot wait until each video drops
Awesome Monday morning episode. Mats a lovely bloke and I’m sure I speak on behalf of everyone in the car community in saying we wish him all the success in the world. 😊
Interviews getting more and more professional Ben, hats off to you! Also great episode with Mat, love what he is doing, the vibe between him, other Mat and his dad, wishing you all, all the luck and can't wait for new builds and videos!
Mat really needs to be on tv,he could easily take over the top gear type of viewer.

Why would anyone want to work for the BBC when you can run your own channel.
I lost my dad 3 years ago to Covid and seeing Mat working with his dad on cars reminds me of the good times I had with my dad when we were doing carpentry together
Great Monday morning viewing...Great work. You're both doing a great job respectively 👏
So good! Thank you for this wonderful hour!!!! 🙏
Tony at the end priceless. 😂 lovely insight again, living my old life every week with Mat and crew
Refreshing to see you ask challenging questions in a cheery and thought provoking way, without a doubt that’s helps us to discover more, looking forward to seeing more. Pic at the end was classic 😊
Love all of your podcast ben! I found them from your first interview with mat and here we are again. You never disappoint. You're an absolute natural in the videos with mat. The car aint bad either.
Great stuff as always Ben. Looking forward to whatever comes next from both yourself and Mat 👍
Matt deserves all the success he’s getting, been watching him since he was on the driveway with the TT genuinely nice guy and puts 100% effort in
I actually watched another 1 hour video from start to finish, your podcasts with Mat are so riviting that time just disappears. Excellent content, and insight, well balanced questioning and a really good insight into the life of Mat.
Hard work beats talent. I used to mess about with BMW car engines, my ADHD loved it. It is so possible to have a 100m. I think Matt is a huge motivation to being happy, with who you are and the skills you have, and how powerful laughter is! - Thanks for all the smiles. Brilliant - Phil
I discovered Mat about a year ago while researching a car project. I love working on my car and Mat and his crew are having so much fun. I watch because Mat is a likable guy and I'm a car guy.
What a genuinely nice guy Matt Armstrong is. It was good to hear about the background of the team and what we see is a true reflection of them all. I enjoyed the podcast Ben, I hope your US plans come to pass.
I’m sure that Matt’s inspiring story will garner a lot of (rightful) appreciation, but I think it’s also important to acknowledge just how far you’ve come as an interviewer. Your recent videos have come on leaps and bounds and I think your empathetic and enthusiastic approach to your guests and their subject matter makes your channel a must watch.
Love the channel. Great fun to watch mainly because it feels real! Keep up the good work
Amazing work as usual! Awesome to get these extra insights!
I absolutely love watching Mat's videos and love the way he runs it now. I love cars, and love the idea of working on cars, but don't have the time and space to do a lot of wrenching myself. Love watching the team tear down and rebuild stuff. Nice interview.
I believe what makes it brilliant is the camera IS so close and you're totally spot on that we feel a part of what you're doing and amazed always how you Endeavor to persevere no matter what comes up and keeping the smile on your face and laughing about something that cost you 20 more hours of work
Mat being himself is what makes me watch the channel, that that talking is friendly and honest.
Fascinating insight - thanks for your time Matt . Love to Kevin ...
Mat is such a top genuine fella! Love the channel! Keep rolling them out!
Quality content & insight. You all deserve the success as it’s down to hard work & being likeable
Matt you nailed it, we really do feel that we are there with you. You editing the videos your self is absolutely amazing Netflix would ruin it.
Definitely a genuine person and that's is greatest strength which makes people gravitate towards, he makes builds so simple you almost feel as if you right there, @Matt keep your originality. Keep up the fantastic work i know it must consume alot of your time, its a tough balance, you awesome bro
Matt, just continue to be yourself and to do these things that you enjoy! Your subscribers enjoy watching you do what you do! Genuine and honest! And you always focus on the cars!
Very serious and good questions! Well done 👍
Great interview guys. Thanks for the great videos 👍
Easy to see why Matt does so well with his friends and family. Almost every paragraph includes something about pleasing viewers, friends or family. It seems his goal is to please. The question is what s it that enables Matt to draw so much sheer joy from just having a great time. Seems like the ideal friend.
Watched mat from the beginning , love the father son ratlatioship and how almost every video has a mistake I’d make in it He’s given me the confidence to buy back one of my crashed vans from the insurance and rebuild it … copart became a reality
It’s great seeing Mat grow over the years it’s a 100% the story as much as it is the cars. So good to see your podcast brining more great content they are always good! Well done!

Thanks Dave! :)
Mat deserves everything he has achieved! I have loved his journey!
I enjoy watching Mat rebuild "Crash Damaged" cars because he comes across as so genuine and real and he makes it look so easy to fix the cars that he works on. I would like to meet Mat and just shake his hand and say thank you for giving me an escape from my day-to-day grind!
Mat you are authentic! Watching you and your dad form a new bond on camera has been nothing short of magical. Every car guy's dream! Keep being you.
It is a lot harder and takes more time, work and effort than most will see, just from the workload side, let alone the mental side of comments etc, what you see is maybe 10% of the whole process, great to see someone as huge as Mat speaking about it! Great video
Mat you are doing a great job keep editing and do what you do I think it’s what makes your channel unique and everyone loves it’s genuine don’t change anything showing where you started from to where you are now keep it up 👊🏿
Great video - I moved out our family to SE Texas for exactly the same reason - Weather and optimism. Keep it up!
Terrific interview! Subscribed!
I'm American, and I love his crash series where he rebuilds cars; the videos are amazing! Sometimes, the dialect is hilarious because of the differences between American English and UK English. But, wow, you've got some unbelievable machines!! Much love from Portland Oregon!!!
Really interesting video. Amendment - What a top chat, love this. Thansk to you, Matt and loved Matt's Dad at the end.
Been watching your channels for a while now here in the US as well as other youtube people. I think the person that makes the video must have a great personality and you do it better than anyone . Don't change anything! I'm a motor head too having bought and restored a 1971 MG Midget. Great show and can't wait for the next video.
Mat’s great and so interesting to listen to. Also credit where it’s due to you Ben, you’re a fantastic interview/podcaster, fantastic questions and equally great to listen to.

Great interview, excellent questions 👌🏻
This is the first time I have watched MA on a pod and it just confirmed what a legend he is for me.. We need more lads like this in this world. Great questions sent as well 👍 good watch
To reiterate the comments from Freddie, although never having meet either of you your content and channel make us all feel like we have and that we are part of your team and best mates. The way you both edit the content of your channels is both refreshing and entertaining unlike the latest TV programs, I hope that you both continue for a very long time indeed.
Mat , his dad , Hannah and the crew make great videos . I look forward to every video as his joy and enthusiasm is something rarely seen today . Especially in a young bloke. The best thing he can do is nothing. Dont change a thing . Nothing. Thanks for all you do.
This is a great podcast, great to know Matt a bit better and I 100% agree with you on the point of weather. Hot Summer time weather makes a huge difference on overall motivation and productivity! ☀️
One of the big reasons why you are so inspirational is because you deal with frustration in such a graceful way. Guess you get a lot of that from your Dad, he is a legend
I watched his video because of his personality and how genuine he seems to be. Keep up the excellent work Matt.
Great interview man. Love your work, the pair of ya.

Fabulous this was - both of you. Mark.
Great channel he presents it well, his dad is a character! Matt and his team deserve all the success they have IL be watching for as long as it's running and wish them all well
On the story, I have watched you from around the first Aston Martin, I've mucked about with cars and bikes for years as a hobby(45yo), but you have given me the confidence to get stuck into tasks on my bikes that I wouldn't typically have tackled, the self-taught mechanic angle is endearing, that relates to loads of people.
This is bar none my fav podcast series. Its has a perfect blend of funny and fact so keep it up mate 👍
I just love the way Mat do his work and content he is real and takes us true reality what he is and just love it 🫶🏼 the purest car channel out here on every platform 💯
Me as a car guy form kids age I love to watch him and he has my respect what he's doing, and with how much love he's doing that basically with his family and a good friend. Keep doing that as long as you love too! I would love to guest wrenching with him just to feel the vibe 🤗❤️
I hear what you’re saying mat … that’s why I moved to Australia… and you inspired me to start my own channel…Legend
My first video I watched off Mat was only two weeks ago, thanks algorithm... And it's been a pleasure, I love the relationship he has with his team and his Dad, it's real, and that's the bottom line... he's a real lad, having a great time with his family and his mates... I think the way BMX riders have transferred skills within sport and social media is testament to their own creativity, with the likes of Mat and Matt Jones for example...
Mat is such a great guy and I absolutely enjoy his work. Great vid mate.
Mat is so Genuinely REAL... LOVE THIS GUY.
Great video - really enjoyable - like overhearing a good chat between mates in the pub

Thanks Matt and team for great content every time fantastic team I wish you all the best respect 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💰💰
Great choice of guest, found it really interesting and insightful listening to Matt talk about his goals and how he and his team work. Thanks!
Just fantastic. Massive congratulations from Portugal 🙂
Congrats for the success, I knew @Tavarish in Mat's videos, here from Bogota, Colombia, latin america, keeping by your own style!! Monaco´s road trip my favorites!!!
I love everything Matt does, watching this, I'd love to see a day in his life including the editing he does. Very tallened guy!
As a wildlife photographer, i totally get where Mat's coming from re the editing. I have way too much to do, juggle a full time job etc & not doing my own editing would free up so much time for me. The thing is, my eye is my eye, i know exactly when things are looking the way i want them. Theres no formula, every photo is different, therefore i cant hand that side over. I will say tho, that mat will have to eventually hand at least the first edit over to someone else or face burnout sooner rather than later
Mats such an inspiration, seeing how his channel has exploded doing what most of us dream of doing. Would be great to meet him and the team. Personally, I don't feel like there should be any competion between similar channels. For me I love watching this content, seeing cars brought back to life rather than who's doing it although the personalities make it (if that makes sense). I love it when when these KZreadrs do stuff together Mat, Tarvarish, Chris to name a few. Great guys and love there their content.
Mat's videos have caused me to cheer at my computer out loud when they solve a big problem... so fun to watch.
My mum edits my channel and I totally relate to working constantly but we love it, headphones in constantly 🤣
He’s honest about what he knows, he’s able to laugh at himself (especially in those “engine very bad” moments 😂) and seems like a genuine guy. Plus, his dad Tony is GOLD with that laugh and a dog named Kevin. What’s not to love? Keep it up Mat and team!
Such an inspiration, lovely guy and a hard worker, deserves all he has and more 😮💨 can’t wait to see him rebuild more and more
In a world of negativity and hate, Mat's channel really is a moment of calm and happiness. This is the content that needs pushing to our youth. He and the family deserve every moment of success. (and great interview)
It's the DIY aspect of Mat's channel that I like and keeps me watching. The family and friendship storyline is a plus and positive on top of that!
Very smart how the editing is being done not forgetting Matt ‘s character that makes it amazing (and his best father ever ) , I wait eagerly for his episodes to come out and another one to be fair E39 channel
I enjoy watching Mats videos. His laugh is contagious. His content is fantastic. As long as Mat produces videos I will watch and cheer him on.
Amazing channel and extremely organic to watch. Matt, his Dad and everyone else just seem to work. Tavarish takes time to post content but he is extremely likeable and I enjoy watching his content. Feel for him since he has posted personal issues and completely understand why he doesn't necessarily post so much but hope Tavarish succeeds in life. I enjoy watching both channels and don't see any competition. There is plenty of room for multiple people doing similar stuff. Always looking forward to the next post from Matt, Tavarish and others...
For me, the fascination of watching you all rebuild the cars, is that most of us simply hand over our damaged car, to be repaired and we don't see behind the scene. What you do is incredibly clever and lifts the lid off a world that we don't have access to. I restore fine antique furniture and people who come into my shop, are fascinated by the process of structural and decorative restoration I think, in the same way that we watch you rebuild cars. Great chat, thanks for the hours of enjoyment that your channel has provided me.
I can 100% relate that feeling with the weather. I´m from one of the sunniest places in Spain and I live in Germany since 2015 and the mood change is absolutely real, specially in the winter. The time from november to february is a constant demotivation, it´s only work and sleep, I barely want to do anything more.
How can you not like this bloke. Incredible outlook, crazy inspirational, and any more down to earth he'd be underground.
Matt. You are a real person who I can relate to. I bought my son a clapped out Audi TT on the back of the content you did at the beginning and it did a lot for my relationship with my son. So a Massive thank YOU for keeping things real. I know top gear is not what it was so Matt Gear is the way to go when you will get sick of this and trust me you will. This is coming from a guy who has changed cars 39 times in 5 yrs and now I feel like I am done.
Keep on doing things just the way you have been Matt, It’s working for millions of us .
Agree 100% with mat , raw footage is king especially when the people have the personality’s of mat and his team👍🏻
