His success is very impressive. But I never know why you would want to show your home on your channel. Mat Armstrong has been showing the world his new garage extension and house. There are too many bad people and weirdos around to risk it. I’m sure the Rightmove link was posted on these very pages when he bought it. Which is case in point.
For me that garage was a complete waste of money, all that work and expense for a space to suit 2 cars when he owns 5 or 6.Edited by PT1984 on Sunday 24th March 13:08

Similar to the demo ranch guy having issues with people jumping the gates and coming to the door, when he has that many firearms it's not the wisest ideaEdited by PT1984 on Sunday 24th March 13:08

It's nearly finished!
The one thing that raised my eyebrows was, the (brown) interior he had in the car was a "placeholder" he purchased off eBay, who is selling used Bugatti Veyron interiors on eBay and who (other than Houston Crosta) is looking to buy one?
Houston has said a few times in these videos he just looks on eBay everyday for Bugatti Veyron parts and has picked up this and that for the car, I have looked a couple of time on USA eBay and cannot ever see anything for a real car.
Houston has mentioned prices in the videos and hopefully he will give a full total of all the parts etc used, everything except labour, going to be interesting to see how it compares with Tavarish's McLaren P1 GT.
It does look very nice though https://exclusivecarregistry.com/details/bugatti/v...

The Mansory stuff on the wraith that Mat has shown this evening just looks really awful and tacky with outrageous price tag to match
His channel goes hand in glove with Mansory. Matsory's channel is about nil class and a 'don't care about purity' mentality. If it looks ok, it is ok, in his mind. Except, Mansory epitomise the total dereliction of applying basic logic to car accessorising. All show, no go. This generation of 'influencers' and millennial nobodys couldn't care less about integrity, it's all about the clicky clickys and likey likeys...... UTTER...UTTER...TRASH. He'd be better off basing himself in Dubai... he'd fit right in.

It's mad that the Rolls doesn't have a category designation on it, with all that structural damage.
Sounded/alluded to the "fact" that it's worth £185k (without cat marker) and probably a LOT less with a marker, or Cat B in which case very little.So insurance company get the action reserve+ which is a lot more than they get if written off. Maybe.....
Then there's the alternative (window tints etc. possibly invalidating any claim...) that insurance didn't get involved and Rashford (via whatever intermediaries) just decided to throw to auction (as above, "worth" £185 etc..)
Basically, worth too much for any involved parties to write it off (or put on cat B and get very little for it)...

He has another Veyron and has performed his own maintenance on it. My guess is the life of a rental Veyron is hard so he buys the replacement interior at the right price for when he wants to refresh the interior to sell the car.

If you watch his other videos they are mostly him picking up a destroyed exotic from the side of the road. I would never buy a super car from Vegas as all these repairs don’t show up on history.

Wouldn't every crash damaged car be worth more without the category and they'd always be incentivized to do the same?

If anyone saw the video of the nobhed driving at like 100mph in a residential 30mph zone, I'm pleased to say that he's just written off his McLaren 765LT and no one was hurt.
He then ran away from the scene of the crash.
That was near me I think? On the A30 close to Staines.He then ran away from the scene of the crash.
