  • I was lucky enough to recently visit the one and only ‪@MatArmstrongbmx‬'s garage, to see just what it is that makes this TH-cam sensation tick.
    I check out some of the latest exotic cars that he’s saving from the scrap heap, and hear more about his fascinating past and ambitious future plans.
    Mat is one of the nicest, most genuine guys on the scene, so it was great to finally see where most of his incredibly popular TH-cam content is filmed from for myself.
    Thanks so much to Mat for having me down, and stay tuned for much more content with him very soon…

    I'm knocking 40 and since the proper top gear went off air, all I watched afterward was TH-cam car content..... and if someone said one day you would be watching the stig, and Matt Armstrong on a side by side vlog, not only that to be as entertaining and engaging as prime time top gear was, I 100% said bs. Love it!!

      95% TH-cam car content, 5% everything else that’s my viewing preference.
      Harry’s garage, the late brake show, Ben himself, Matt Armstrong and his dad, Tavarish, hoovie, Jack builds it, drivetiribe, autoalex, car throttle and so many more small or niche channels, keep it up everyone I admire your collective efforts to share your experiences with the TH-cam audience

      You’ve got fifteen years to catch up with me, but I absolutely agree, most if not all of my car content comes from TH-cam now. Mind you I did listen to Ben’s books on Audible in the car, well worth reading or listening to them, very entertaining.

    Mat's enthusiasm, and his crew (Dad, gf, others positive input), and his love of cars, I don't think he need worry about what to choose to fix. I could watch him repair a totaled lawn mower and be entertained.
    Great interview Ben!

    I am subscribed to *many* Car - TH-cam - channels, all the well known ones i guess, but Mat´s channels stick out for several reasons.
    And for someone like me who suffers from severe depression for more than 3 decades, the positive vibes and laughter and fun they bring to the viewer
    is SO important ! I almost completely lost the ability to enjoy *anything* , but when i watch Mat`s Videos, i always have a smile on my face.
    He puts me in a better mood, almost like therapy. Mat, if you read this: THANK YOU ! For making me feel better for a while.

    I can honestly say.That I’ve been a tele addict my whole life.I’m 61! But over the last 3-4 years I’ve switched to TH-cam more and more.I rarely watch tv anymore.I’m hooked on content like Mats,Chris Slix,Freddie and many many more.They’re a Petrol heads dream watch.Look forward to seeing the Lancia finished Ben,and then maybe you’ll do a late 70’s early 80’s Alfa or the early 70’s era BMW 2002 turbo

    The early Koenigseggs are very much a parts bin special. There was a crashed CCXR privately rebuilt in south Africa in 2011 and lots of Merc and Volvo parts found... I got to sit in it at the scrap dealer and even in its broken state still a phenomenal machine!
    The modern Eggs are probably a completely different story entirely.

Mat is a force of nature, he has so much enthusiasm and passion for what he does, it’s great to get an insight into what makes him tick, with some really good questions. Can’t wait to see you drive the M4.

    Dude , you have to do regular updates on the Lancia please , I never really appreciated them at the time . But now you have got to admit what an awesome piece of kit .
    Mat and Co deserve all the credit and subs they get . All earned from grafting , trying and having a good mindset.
    A good inspiration for anyone.
    Car game is a very hard trade to earn money or be successful in . full of unknowns , unpaid labour , people who won’t think twice about shafting you etc etc .
    Main thing is guy’s loyalty brings trust and a bit of give and take is acceptable, just don’t take the ‘P’ out of people kind enough to help especially when it’s for free.
    Rather old school values that unfortunately can be a bit thin on the ground these days . ❤👍

      £80k plus for a good Lotus Carlton now though. Awesome cars, I seem to remember a rumour (or fact?) that the UK POLICE were looking to have them banned from sale in UK. The fastest production saloon when they came out at the time. I agree though, a few classics might be a nice addition to Mat’s channel.
