Mat armstrong

[Doofus]

I've not watched it. Is Ben the chap who does interviews in a van, and without actually saying it, allows people to think he's self-made?

If so, I'm not a fan either.

Hate to say it, but that’s the first video of Mat's I’ve skipped. Didn’t find it entertaining at all.

Sorry Mat

FWIW I don’t mind Ben. Interesting story on his channel on how he came to be so wealthy. Very honest and moving about his dad.

That's him.

He is a bit irritating. First MA video I've switched off part way through.

Same, gave up with it, Ben is so annoying.

But if it's just an ornament, then surely registration is irrelevant.

Its not about registration, but its mere presence in the US. There are specific regulations for cars imported for racing purposes and cars imported for display purposes. Non-residents can only ever import cars temporarily, and normally its with the agreement with the EPA prior to import. The foreigner must remove the car eventually. However, its also possible to transfer ownership to US resident ownership, through a DOT process.

So you can't even import a car to park in your own garage and never drive?

Enjoyed the GTR vid.
Like most gave up on the hill climb/sit in a car one.

Made it past baby Ben but that Mark McCann is a tool…did he really get to 75miles with that lack of knowledge (assuming it is his car of course - hope not).

[Stussy]

That video is on his 2nd channel, so less likely to appeal to most.
I've got no idea who that bloke is driving the Lamborghini but he did seem a bit odd!

It is his car, he replaced his Aventador SVJ with it.

I’m not a fan of Ben or Mark, but credit to both of them where it’s due - Ben went bigger than expected for the conditions and Mark taking that up a hill with 75 miles on the clock is good going.

Warning: Some people won’t like the C63 video because it contains laughing.

Personally I loved it!

More videos of these two please! That was great.

Noticed Mat made a point of mentioning using weld through primer in the GTR video, still no tin of custard though...

His next project really needs a tin of Birds, for the PH massive.

Mat has done a colaboration with Calfreezy, a basic £500 banger face off. Actually not a bad effort if a bit laddish.

[John87]

How has Mat got enough hours in the day to be creating content for his own two channels plus international versions, actually sourcing cars and parts then fixing them, going on road trips and collaborating with half of automotive YouTube?

The guy must be exhausted!

Also seen a collaboration pop up with a home improvement channel fitting a new balustrade to the balcony of his house so he's absolutely everywhere

Really enjoyed the Lamborghini update, the quality of the guys doing the frame repairs was something else, some of the best Tig welding I have ever seen.

Hats of to Mat, really well put together video.

[Billy_Rosewood]

Great video.. Not gonna lie though, I loved the black and bronze look of the gallardo and I'm scared it might end up a bit ott with its incoming new look

[pingu393]

That 40 minutes went by in a flash.

I'm looking forward to another episode of Silence of the Lambos.
