I love his enthusiasm!

watching this 4 year journey has been an eye opener to me (I've been retired for a year and a half).

I'm only 60 and having a great time with gigs and sport and meeting friends that I've always been away for in my working life.

I would really like a project but don't have the space, especially the covered space. I have a big parking area but only a tiny narrow single 1950's style garage that I can carefully get the Z4M in but no Chance with the M4. Also I couldn't work on the Z4M because it's so tight.

It's got me thinking about selling up, getting somewhere more suited to what I would like to potter around with in a project style.

Been watching Mat's videos since he started rebuilding the Audi TT around 5 years ago. Loved the latest video. Well deserved on the new house,it shows how his hard work has paid off. Looking forward to see what the next few years brings!

I hope that he hasn't over committed himself, but he has done so well in such a short time, that I'm sure he will be alright.

Good on him.

He who dares, Rodney. He who dares smile

Yep, driving the Murci up the driveway of the new house must have been a special moment.

I'm 99% sure I've been watching since somewhere around the end of the S5 and beginning of the Bentley and been watching ever since. I think that widening the "crew" size in the videos with the inclusion of his Dad and cameraman has been an absolutely fantastic move, plus the friendship with Tavarish seemed to really open Mat up to the US YT market and it won't be long before he hits 3M subs.

Awesome! Great work on unleashing the horses in the manège laugh
It looks as though it’s a slow move between the two so possibly keeping the old one as a rental? If so, the upgrade is all the more impressive. HWBT.

That house is amazing! I wonder is the plan to move the unit to the stables? Or is it just going to be a nice garage?

Doubt he will move the unit, convert to garage is what he said in the video.

One hell of a house, hats off to him for what he has achieved

Fair play to you Matt - awesome video and congrats on an epic place indeed, along with an incredible journey smile I never spotted the custard myself, we can but live in hope wink Keep up the good work and look forward to more videos in the near future - I see you are almost at 3 million subs, maybe time for a giveaway....perhaps to drive some of your collection for a very lucky person?!

It does make me laugh when the cliché comes out about hard work paying off.

Is it hard work when you're enjoying yourself? I think it's much harder when you're not.

Matt is a classic mix of a particular set of skills at the right time mixed with managing to create your own good luck.

20 years ago, he'd have been chaving up Fords or Vauxhall's on his parents drive and he would have just been another dick head with dream car posters and a job valeting cars. At best, he might have made it into detailing other people's exotics.

YouTube has enabled him to make the most of his specific skills and hopefully launch him into a career beyond YT as history has demonstrated that YT fame and success rarely lasts.

He works hard, he works smart and he's got good people around him.

Great video, fair play to Mat, been following him almost since the beginning.

I wonder if he bought the house outright, or has a massive mortgage?

Whatever, one of, if not the most entertaining You tubers.

What a strange thing to be interested in. Why on earth would you wonder that?

Because if it was a £2m house he could have bought it cash or had a £1,5m mortgage.
