this is sooo motivating 👏🏻👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿👏🏽

It wasn't the Audi TT that brought you that...was more like your spontaneous personality, and positivism.

Hannah crashing the Audi TT was truly a blessing in disguise

The biggest reason for your success 1.Hanna. 2.Your dad. 3.Your personality. Positivism. 4.Me😂 or us loving cars and wrenching. And sharing content Been watchin since early days think you had less then 200k subs back then. Your channel is no1.

Congratulations on your epic success! Hard work, persistence, chasing your dream and doing something you love is what it's all about. Happy New Year and best of luck for everything in 2023.

9 YEARS DOING TAKEAWAYS!!!! Bro. I remember when you started and I laughing thinking you was crazy. Doing deliveries in the brown fiesta. Fez bomb gang from early. Sooo proud of you bro hard work is all it takes ❤

Absolutely love your story. 16:25 the most iconic moment for me ahaha

Audi tt changed the life of 2 automotive content creators the 2 goats. Mad respect!❤

Can I just say how amazing Hannah is ! Most girlfriends would have thought you were crazy when this dream started but she has been by your side every step of the way. That is true love and respect that lots of people will never see in their lifetime. Maximum respect to you both for earning your dream 😊.

It’s weird, I’ve never met you and you have no idea who I am, but I felt so proud watching this video. I’m not gunna pretend like I’ve been following you from the beginning because I haven’t but the growth and journey I have seen has been amazing. You deserve everything you have and so much more. Hands down my favourite content creator

Mat, I have just discovered your channel. I'm lost for words. Your hard work, grit, determination, positivity and zest for life are what life is all about. Legend...

This guy deserves everything he has. He’s driven, positive, courageous. Has an infectious personality. And genuinely seems like a lovely guy. Kudos to you Matt. You deserve success

This episode should be shown at all schools everywhere perfect example of what having a dream and hard work can achieve you and Hannah are so inspiring, big respect from Western Australia I enjoyed watching that so much its motivated me and I'm 67yrs young

Really great storytelling congrats on the journey

That title is one of the worst clickbait offenses i've ever seen on here. The Audi had nothing to do with it mate. It's your own dedication, hard work, discipline and perseverance that gave you everything you have. You're an amazing dude, an awesome youtuber and an inspiring man. Thank you Mat and best of wishes for your family and your future.

Your genuineness is truly so refreshing.

I don't watch Matt's videos for his cars. I watch it for his positive energy and the people around him smiling. You are making many people smile around the world in difficult times. Keep it up mate and God Bless!

Actually felt a bit teary watching this one. I can't believe how far you have come, absolutely love your videos and you seem such a decent, genuine guy which is why I've watched you from the start. Cheers to 2023 and whats to come 🍻👍

So glad I spent the 17+ minutes watching this! I found your channel a couple of months ago & never knew your history. I throughly enjoy you, your dad, Hannah & the crew! You definitely dove in headfirst & nothing but respect ✊! A fan from across the pond!

What i like most about his success is...HE WORKED FOOKING HARD FOR IT! He put His heart, soul and body on the line. There is not a soul who begrudges his success. Long may he continue...

You’ve worked hard, took risks, and been so open & honest here it’s refreshing. You both deserve all that come to you for that. Top bloke

You just made a 50 year old man shed a tear or two! Your parents must be so proud Mat! The best thing about you is that you are so enthusiastic and want to share your happiness and wealth. I really love what you do and you are the only channel I look forward to watching. Don't change 😊 In addition it would be rude of me not to mention Hanah. She has obviously been your rock and also now your business partner. The saying is that "behind every successful man is a strong woman". Between you both you will make more dreams come true 😊 I'm certain there is plenty more to come 👍

Thank you Mat. This is inspiring. I stumbled upon your videos recently and wondered how you got to where you are now. I share your passion for fixing cars that would otherwise end up in the scrap yard or back at the dealers. Have love the self learning especially and the problem solving, and am keen to spend my time doing more of what I love. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. 👏👏👏

You posted this video a year ago and my guy it has aged like a fine wine. The only difference between then and now is that your channel has become one of the top five KZfaq auto rebuilders in the world. You also became a much more accomplished grease monkey. Oh and your dad, we cannot forget his contribution to your success. Love what you do.

I’m not even a big car dude, but I stumbled across your channel and your enthusiastic, positive attitude, along with the relationships with your friends and family and the satisfaction of watching you build/fix a car have honestly made your videos a must watch. Good things happen to good people!

Inspirational. This man deserves everything he has. He’s not a greedy man at all.

Hey Mat, I found your channel on New Years Day 2024 - What an inspiration you are and full of humility. I used to work on cars with my dad till he passed on, so to see you do this has been a fantastic memory for me as well!

Dude I came across your channels by accident. I've been a VW Audi tech for 25 years. You are truly an inspiration and dude giving away some of your rebuilds is truly next level man. Mad props.

Mat is just a straight up inspiration. He's a hustler, a doer. He doesn't just talk about what he wants, he goes after it. It's the single most important personality trait to predicting success. So happy for all he has achieved. I love stories like this. Can't wait to see all he will go onto achieve.

Mat. Your journey from the front of your house and all the patient neighbours nearby to the Bentley Audi S5 and then so many more. Its been a real privilege to have found your skills and energy all that time ago and now you are heading to KZfaq stardom and 1mil subs plus... Well done

Lutterworth lad myself and was big into my bmxing also. Remember you as a kid riding and I'm absolutely blown away with what you have accomplished. Genuine hard working lad and you deserve everything you got. It's so great to see someone smashing it like this! Well in bro!!

Just stumbled across these videos , how lovely is it to see father and son working together bouncing off each other .love up beat vibe always . Very inspirational for a others ,great personality’s deserves all success that’s coming there way , a joy to watch 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What I absolutely love about this channel Mat is that you tell your viewers EXACLY how you did it, how you do it, not make people pay in for you to tell them the secret. You're a class act Mat Armstrong. CLASS ACT. Here's wishing you continued success and an absolutely blinding 2023 to you, Hannah and Kevin too. You're an inspiration.

Have followed Matt on his journey for a few years now and I have to say I have watched this video 3 times now and it brought a tear to my eye . I found the video to be so inspiring I have forwarded it to my children and asked my brother and sister to sit down with their kids and watch this inspiring video to show them what they can achieve if they put their mind to something and take a chance . Fantastic video Matt ☘️

honestly stubbled on your channel. looking for bmw m3 videos. Now i watch the full videos from start to finish and sit here waiting for the next one to come out. Got such a positive vibe and just a great person in general. keep up the great work!

Mat, I been a fan for some time. Watched most of your content. This was a great message and I hope you have continued success. Cheers

couldn’t have happened to a better person, you deserve this massively mate it’s been amazing watching your progress over the last 3 years

We went to the same school, awesome story bro! You seem so humble, keep winning 💪🏼

Only recently found your channel and you have come across as an honest, genuine guy. Shows what hard work and dedication can do with the right attitude I wish you well and look forward to catching up on your posts

What a video. Credit to you Matt. Not only doing what you love but giving some of it back. The world needs more people like you.

amazing story man congrats on the house!

This almost made me cry, seeing someone who worked hard and getting rewarded for all his perseverance! Once more we see the example that anything is possible. I respect you 2000% more, Mat!

My goodness. Been watching for a while and I knew you were hard working. But man your work ethic is something else. And you’re working smart. Great story telling as well.

I started watching your you tube just about a year ago as I sit in my Dialysus chair 3xs a week. mon weds fri from 5am too 915 am. I have stage 4 kidney faillure. I really enjoy watching your videos. KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK. Thanks for the smiles and learning about cars.

I've watched a lot of these "how I got here" videos. But, this is by far the most genuine and inspiring one I've seen. You've bought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for the inspiration - both to me and to everyone else who's watching. Keep going! Wish the best for you :)

Been here from the day 1 and will never leave. Mat is just more than deserving of everything happening to him lately and like he best described it himself, he was always willing to put in the long hours to eventually begin enjoying the results of his hard work. He is a proper example of a success story and I am happy I could witness it all.

This is such a beautiful and inspiring story. And so well told! Congratulations on living your dream!! And thanks for sharing it to help inspire others to do the same. What a legend.

This gives me a kick toward my own channel goals. I am currently renovating my little castle in Germany and documenting it on KZfaq and just started on Rumble. Your channels have become some of my favorites and I am somewhat mimicing what you have done. Passed 100 subs over Christmas! I will be starting a new channel soon around automotive content since my previous life was in Auto customization and collision repair so I already have the knowledge. Thanks for the push by inspiring us with your own success story. Cheers mate!

What an incredible story. No one handed you the keys; you worked hard for all this... and it is so gratifying to see such a humble man succeed. All the best.

This channel needs a bigger platform and the most exposure so more people can benefit from your positivity and happiness. I can’t tell you how much motivation I personally get from your content and the way you handle challenges but I thank you for it! Matt you’re awesome and wish you more success in the future

This is so inspirational from a guy that suffers with severe depression it makes you realise dreams really can come true and you proved that with your success and your humble in doing so,such a genuine youtuber all the best buddy 🎉

This is a great video man, i discovered you 2 weeks ago through your buying of Rashford's bentley and been watching tons of your videos now and loving all of them. big up!

This is my favorite video on YT. as someone who barely leaves his comfort zone, this has been the most inspiring thing in my life to finally take steps towards achieving my dreams despite the risks and fears. Also you and Hannah deserve the world. I smiled so hard i had tears in my eyes listening to your journey

That was 17:41 minutes of pure smiles and tears of happiness for a video of someone I don't know. What an inspiring and awesome human being your are. Thank you very much for sharing with us that is possible to follow your dreams, you are really an inspiration. All that hard work you put in everything pays off. God bless you.

You are literally the reason im recording my own youtube videos and you both deserve everything you have as you have kept thousands of people entertained and helped so many other people. Keep up the good work

Came across your channel a few months ago. Now a subscriber. It’s inspiring to see someone to come from humble beginnings to where you are now….all through hard work and dedication…..and drive!! Keep living the dream bud! You’re driving people forward to achieve their dream by just watching you and Hannah live out yours!! Best of luck for 2024. Looking forward to the videos ahead!

Basically, Mat's a grafter. He puts in plenty of hard work in terms of hours and is willing to develop his skill-set seemingly constantly. He adapts and pivots as necessary but has been lucky with financial risks taken. Thankfully this has all worked out for him and is most deserved. Anyone can do this - you just need the hunger to succeed. Nice one, Mat - wishing you a successful 2023! ❤

The energy and positivity from Mat is what really impresses me. He was always going to succeed with the attitude and dedication he has. Absolutely deserves everything, truly inspiring.

I am 40 years old veteran . I am gettjng mu first loader just to move dirt around and be happy ... listen to your inner child, he knows you more then you kbow yourself .. tears will fill your eyes just thinkibg about what he want from ya so he can make you happy

You deserve all you have Mattie!! I hope all kids are watching and learning to “work hard on your dreams!”

What's most obvious watching this video is that you are a very capable and driven individual. Nothing you have achieved has been given to you, you've earned every bit. Hard work, dedication and a belief in yourself are the keys to your success. Loved watching your progress and how you worked your fingers to the bone to get where you are today. A heart felt good luck in the future. Top man. Inspirational.

This is how you turn nothing into something. Absolutely inspiring. I never comment on anything but this deserves the utmost recognition. I wish I had your commitment 👍

Very inspirational Mat, congratulations on everything you’ve done through hard work and determination 👏🏻

Literally sat smiling to myself all the way through, if anyone deserves you and Hannah deserve it the most, live for today tomorrow is never promised, stay safe matt and happy new year 🎊

I'm about to start my new business and seeing how far you've come really gives me the motive to jump in and go for it.. words can't describe how much you inspire and keep us going. I appreciate you so much Mat, and wish you plenty more success and happiness.

One of the best videos I’ve watched I see a guy with a relentless work ethic, dynamic skillset, & a vision bring it all to life. Too awesome 👌🏼

Your story is so motivating 😢 and what I like the is that Hannah was always by your side supporting you in everything you do and every risk you took. Shout out to Hannah for loving and supporting you🫡 you just gain a new follower all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦 keep doing what you day in and day out

I didn’t even realize how long I’ve been watching Mat, ever since the TT Build. The Progress has been insane, safe to say he’s my favourite KZfaqr

You and Hannah are incredible human beings! You should be so proud of everything you’ve achieved ❤️

It’s mad to see how far mat has come I still remember watching in the tt days. Hadn’t seen the channel for a few years and to see it at the stage it’s at now is amazing truly deserved. Such great content and just shows what you can really do with hard work and determination

Just discovered your channel Mat through the Rashford RR restoration you're doing. Watching this, it all makes sense. You're a legend and inspiration in my eyes, thank you. I'm wishing you, your family and team many years of success to come!

Makes a change to see such down to earth people doing so well for themselves, especially having earned every bit of the success they have. You guys are fantastic. It is that quality that has led to you doing so well and being so likeable. Mat Armstrong is by far the best youtuber. Like if you agree.

I’m not a petrol-head or know anything about cars, I rarely ever watch KZfaq, but I felt compelled to write my first ever comment. When one of your videos popped up one day, I was hooked. By 2am I put the phone down. Your videos are about more than cars and mechanics, they’re an example of hard work, determination and grit. A set of values that I wish was the norm rather than the exception. That attitude can’t be taught and no qualification will be a substitute for that. You have a spirit and spark that I hope you never lose and goes on to inspire others. The pursuit of dreams driven by passion and not money, fame or fortune has brought you everything you thoroughly deserve. Watching your success, achieving your goals and living your dream doesn’t fill me with envy or jealousy, but pride and respect (and to reevaluate my own choices!). I sat my daughter down and asked her to watch this video, to show to her what really matters in life: Passion and determination. I could never have delivered that message more powerfully than you. If - God forbid - I should ever total my beloved car, I’m sending it to you!

I recently kept coming across your videos and took a dive into your channel. I see we have similar backgrounds where I too purchased my first rental property at 21 and am on a mission to work on my passion instead of a 9-5. I respect the hard work you put in and I hope to get to this level someday! Keep grinding man love the videos!

I admire your energy and tenacity. You really deserve all you've got. Well done

An honest KZfaqr? That’s a good video, and if it does all change tomorrow, you’ve got a smart head, a diversified portfolio and you’ve done it here, you could do it again. You’re all so likeable on the channel, Mat. Bloody well done. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer pair of people (and Kevin)! #HWBT

Mat, your channel is one that I follow consistently and I look forward to every one of your videos. You make regular guys like myself that have above average wrenching skills feel like they're right there with you learning as you learn. You're not out there bragging about your car collection, you're not out there doing really stupid things with the cars you build, you're literally making your dreams and other people's dreams reality by making great, relatable content and having a frickin blast doing it. Keep your feet planted, you have something magical going on here. I can't wait to see what happens for you in 2023.

One of the best videos I have come across. So inspirational, especially after the 2023 I had. Only recently started watching your videos, but I sit for hours with my boys, transfixed. The moments of joy on my boys face when he hears a car roar to life are truly the best moments of my life. Well Done and thank you.

Truly the best car KZfaqr out there. Such a humble nice guy. I'd love to grab a pint, talk life and cars with Mat.

What an incredible but eventful journey you have been on Matt. Where you and Hannah are now you fully deserve to be there as you have put a lot of work into it. The rewards speak for themselves. Every credit to you mate

one of the most humble guys ever ! honestly you deserve all the happiness and the massive congratulations on achieving your dreams from all the hard work to giving us all great content to watch and be inspired by all the people you've helped along the way I've been watching the vids for a long time now and its great to see you bloom from what was just an average everyday car rebuilding it into building some crazy cars! all the best in the future. such a humble guy

One of the most inspiring videos I have watched on KZfaq. Enough respect to you, the commitment and drive is very motivating

found you with the gt3 build! I grew up with parents that pushed for school and careers that did not interest me at all or I just could not pick up well. I left school and learned autobody, paint, and restoration for 6 years restoring muscle and sports cars and then when my life changed and situation changed. I thought that was not an option anymore so I went back to school (currently) but seeing this I feel like I just need to open my shop and get back to doing what I love! Keep up the amazing work Mat!

Matt, you have come along way and I've followed you since the TT build. There has been one thing that's remained constant in all your videos which is your personality and determination to stay focused. Well done and keep up the amazing work.

We are all Proud of you Matt, Ive personally been here from the last bits of the TT videos onto the bmw 1 series and onwards been hooked ever since and it’s been an incredible journey so far looking forward to many more videos on this channel wish You all the best in everything you dooooo ! ❤️

Just seeing this video today. I love your relationship with your dad, I have a similar one with mine. You are one multi-talented dude!

Massive props to you for making this origin story, Mat. To see where you came from and how far you've come through hard work and dedication is simply astonishing. Thanks for bringing positive energy and even some drama into your builds if things don't necessarily work out the way they should right away. But watching you and your dad work together on your projects, even mixing it up with one of my other favourite KZfaqrs Tavarish lately, certainly makes your videos mandatory watching whenever I'm free from work and in need of some inspirational pick-me-up from the Armstrongs. Keep up the good work.

This video brought tears to my eyes, Mat's passion and honesty is really paramount.

You, my friend, you’re a real inspiration, what an incredible journey you’ve been on. I only came across your channel a couple of weeks ago, and it’s not content I would normally watch, but I’m hooked, keep up the fantastic work, Mat, you deserve all the success you’re achieving. 👊🏻

This video gives me tears of joy for you. So happy to see you both sticking together trough all of this

Perfect example of my own mantra - "work harder than anyone you know for 10 years and reap the rewards for the rest of your life". Well done Mat and keep it up.

You are an absolute legend Mat. I ve never seen someone so successful yet so humble. I ve been watching your videos since the TT. You deserve all of it.

I loved this story man. I've taken risks with my own projects over the years and they've never paid off. But I won't stop, because that's not who I am. This is a good reminder to just keep going! Congratulations!

Your an inspiration. Hard work pays off, your living proof. Your a stand up human. The world needs more Matt Armstrong.

Watched this guys videos casually for a while now, seeing how his hard work has paid off in this video is great to see, Very glad this video popped up. Looking forward to going through the back catalogue properly now I know how hard he worked to get here, people should take note in 2023 when so many seem to like complaining rather than moving forward. His positive energy is infectious❤️❤️❤️ Say hi to Kevin 🐶

Full on inspiration! For someone that is questioning quiting their full time job to pursue a life long dream and seeing and hearing this, is such a boost! Wishing you all the success you and Hannah fully deserve Matt. Keep on pursuing greatness and inspiring thousands of people! I salute you sir

Just found your channel and your videos are fantastic. I have never worked on cars but am fascinated by all your builds. You have achieved your dreams through a lot of hard work and it’s very refreshing to watch. The Murcielago series with your dad was epic. Watching you and your dad smile on the way to Monaco was the most heart warming thing I have watched ever. ❤

Big love to you and Hanna for all you have achieved I love watching your journey change and evolve as you go . When you love what you do

This video particularly, should be used in school lessons to inspire teenagers EVERYWHERE. The message is powerful and so very useful. Well Done Mat, Hannah and Kevin. You so deserve it. Happy New Everything. x

Huge congrats Mat, this video has been a massive eye opener to keep on going regardless of the hurdles that life throws at you. Times have been tough and I do feel like giving up at certain points with what I’m chasing but this video has put a smile on my face and to not let out of sight the goal and that all this hard work will be worth it. Thank you for this inspirational video and I pray for great success for you, your family and to everyone who’s working hard to reach that goal they’ve set.
