I rebuilt a wrecked McLaren 720s but it is currently illegal in the UK. We have been modifying the car to be legally imported into the country but in the process we we're stopped by the police and they we're extremely confused!

Bro, the Kiwi is from New Zealand. Bruce Mclaren was a New Zealand racing driver. Don't take that away from us. 😢😂
I’m an idiot

Its like you can keep posting everyday 😅
Na, we're claiming him as an Aussie, just like everything else we steal from our NZ cousins ;)
the thing i love about Mat compared to other channels is that 1. He posts long videos with actual content 2. He's never changed since the beginning 3. Most importantly, he is consistent with his uploads and doesn't just upload when viewership is high or just to satisfy sponsors Thanks Mat!!
may I add the integration of the product placement into the storytelling? Understandable he needs to make a living from these videos, and they are a lot of work to produce... so product placement is a "necessary evil", but when it is no break, but integrated into the story it is much less disturbing.
4. Dad
Another thing? He advertises his sponsors in a way that doesn't sound like an advert, or pressuring folks to buy. It's more like, "I use this stuff myself, I love it, my friends and family love it so you should try it too."
He also never leaves u on a mad cliff hanger click baiting ect he gets the job done in most videos
He’s basically like a top gear crossed with wheeler dealers with a bigger price budget 😂 I love it ngl and kinda a Hammond workshop vibe aswell
hahaha I'm recording a video on my illegal McLaren as we speak! good luck dude!
Hamilton Collection race????

@tavarish look 16:14 haha

@tavarish are you going to have a battle with mad Mike and his drift p1 at good wood ?
The Police showing how real police should behave
No they don’t, litterly stopped him because they’re some fanboys who want to meet Mat. Imagine being Mat and being pulled over for nonsense because they just want to meet him.. 🤡
@@MrowenSahbiiii oh so i guess they shouldn't stop when someone is driving with their phone out? good to know.
The only channel, I do not fast forward the videos and watch it from start till the end
Me to
same... what an awesome channel... on par with another youtuber in the name of YBS
I even watch the ads most of the time lol
same for some reason
Kiwi is New Zealand Matt, hence why we’re called Kiwis & as a Kiwi living in the UK I’m deeply offended being called Australian 😂
As an Aussie, we're offended as well lol
And as an Australian, I am deeply offended when bands like Split Enz, Mi-Sex, Dragon and artists like Keith Urban and Sharon O'Neill are called 'Australian'. They're not ours, never have been, which is why New Zealand deserves the credit for them all being awesome.
Being called an Aussie is an upgrade
@@djshotty1969you forgot Russell Crowe!
@@glenncolit's REALLLLLY not
It is strange, coming home from work, getting kids to bed, being so tired and being totally done for the day but getting hella excited whenever you see Mat and crew put up another video 😻keep up the good stuff!
I actually love videos with just your dad, his laugh is so contagious. He enjoys working with you on your passion and it makes it worth while to watch him
The build is fantastic, the genuine joy you've brought your dad is priceless! 👍
Tony is the man, he knows the score when it comes to wiring as well
Agree 💯 👍
That eBay dude 😂😂😂 selling the mirror cap.... he should just give it back. Technically that guy stole the cap from the accident scene 😂
he is a thief, you do not get what is not yours
@@TheSportCaveMemorabiliawhy did you list on eBay for 999?
@@caduguardrailkingowo Get the law onto him🤬🤬
@@TheSportCaveMemorabilia Then why send the ebay link without any real context, just ship it to him and tell Mat to do a shou-out and that's it.
@@TheSportCaveMemorabiliaSmells like BS chap 😂 Bought it off a paparazzi c'mon 😂😂
I love the optimisim and general 'feel good' factor about this channel, I know next to nothing about the workings of cars, but love the videos non the less.
I must say mat 's personality is like santa clause it seems like he never has a bad day or attitude..what a breath of fresh air..i guess thats why he is killing it on KZhead
There is another KZheadr from Britain with that attitude: Adam from Beardmeatsfood. Why didn't those two make a video together?
@@jochenrudiger I am not familiar of Adam my dude ...I am here in America..that is a question to ask them..I bet he is no where near as charismatic as mat so there is your answer..
I struggle saying breath of fresh air I always say it backward a fresh of breath air 😂
great vid mat, watched the podcast, it was really awesome!
That's a sweet whip!! Truly amazing what you've done with it start to finish.
Really amazing how far you and “your team” have come Matt. Cheers from the US!
Hey Mate,you are such a lucky chap to have such a wonderful father,kudos to him for getting you out of a lot of jams and helping you thru alot of late nights . Love the channel,Cheers!!
The paint job and wheels really fit, that is one hell of a ride!
I'd love to see light blue LEDs in the gaps around that white wheel cover so of an evening it looks like a vehicle from the movie TRON: Legacy. Not sure how it would go passing a MOT though.
Great as usual. Having your dad in your content and helping is genius - he’s a star ⭐️
I am super super happy that you get the Mc LAREN fully fixed and fully legal . Take care under the rain . I can't wait to see you work on the R&R MANSORY .
love you mat keep the hardwork
Love this. That colour and carbon are exotic on there own, killer combo 👌
Matt please bro keep do this ❤️So satisfying to see your progress, Love your content you're doing amazing work
I'm hooked on these! Nice work sir!
Looking forward to the seeing the Roller .
4 years since you sat at that desk, now you have a Maserati, McLaren, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce-ish, and a fair decent house Any regrets...?! Hard Work AND Talent. Truly Inspirational.
RS6, Range Rover.....sure there is more
@@thesollys9540 I think you're forgetting TWO LAMBOS😂
And in the early days I couldn’t help thinking that he had strong support from his dad, although it wasn’t acknowledged. Now it is, and Tony is becoming one of the stars of the content.
Example how to hustle. And where here we are. watching yt
Keep up the good work Matt. You're truly an inspiration
So much growth in such a short amount of time! That’s what true passion, charisma & honesty gets you, love the videos 🙌🏽
Your dad's a legend,your channel is so enjoyable and entertaining.the builds and your skills which you've learnt as you go . Keep up the good work
I've been following Mat RELIGIOUSLY from Kenya in East Africa where the car culture is growing crazily! You should come over with the crew sometime Mate! Youll enjoy the car culture here as well as a well deserved safari. Im planning a build soon and would be good having you just torquing a bolt😂
That heart attack at 12:41 lmao
So great to see you including your dad in all of this. These are memories you’ll cherish.
@0:15: "…I need some water - which, in the UK, is not allowed, if you're permanently importing one of these cars…" - wow, those are some very strict laws you've got over there, mate! 😮🤪😂
If the deranged WEF get their way, it'll be true! "Eat ze bugz und nicht drinken ze vater to save ze vorld!"
Just heads up Bruce McLaren is from New Zealand hence the kiwi it is not in anyway Australian 😂
Love the editing in this video, especially the part where you snuck the chocolate orange Air Up in Also proper result sorting the headlight and taillight issues, those mechanics were on it! Can't wait to see the finished McLaren on the road
You genuinely look like you are enjoying yourself and your relationship with your father is a great thing to watch. Keep it up.
Matt, how come ya cancel petrolheadonism? My 8 year old lads gutted he can't do the meet and greet. Where you next so we can come meet you? Thanks
Australian...!! Kiwi! We are NOT Australian in NEW ZEALAND thanks Matt!!!!
Keep your hair on! It's an easy mistake to make.
You all look the same to us!
The relationship with your dad is amazing. Love to see it 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Love the wheels brother you are absolutely amazing at setting goals and showing others that if you put your mind to it you can do everything!!! Keep up the great content and work and a super Salute to your Dad and Hanna their great!!!!!
first, lol But not kidding, love your videos Mat!
Hi
ngl can't wait to see this one on the road 🔥🔥
First reply to a youtube comment?
The thing I love about the second channel is that (especially for the absence of music) it makes you feel like you’re talking to your friends at a bar, absolutely love it!😂❤
I think the wheels would look better if the white rim was in the same blue as the car
Naw the white is the pop it needed
No
@squeezdge9087 Yes. That is, in fact, what I think
No, you're not allowed to think for yourself, "trust the science!" Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Drop a like if you like the Wheels on the McLaren👇
No looks like wheel trims stuck on
Get rid of white rim
Are there an option for dislike?
Don’t tell me what to do thanks
Sick car, shit wheels
just brightened up my evening love the channel👍
Mate, I love your confidence now. I have watched every episode from when you first did an Audi on your drive during lockdown. I love where you have got to. HWBT.
First
Every like i will do push ups!
Grow up, you're chasing 40.
I agree with the poster above, you need to grow up
@@GlazzOfwhy hate on him for no reason? u look 40 yourself so maybe just look at urself before talkingv
Wowsers it's over 9k now good luck with that mate I feel your pain just thinking about it 😂 Edit: 9.3 k now 😮😂
@@GlazzOfstaying fit and getting motivated to do pushups noting wrong with that. Your the one reacting to it🤣

Your dad has the greatest laugh, and the greatest demeanor. Love him
Just love seeing you and your Dad working on cars.👍🙏

Those replacement discs on the wheels completely transformed this car, looks so much better! Man I love both your channels, it's like Christmas to me every time there's a new post. Didn't want this one to end 😢
Don't you all want to be his friend? This guy (and family/team) have this kind of energy that pumps you up so much. I don't even care about cars that much and I watch hours long videos made by Mat!! Keep it coming man, you make people happier and you 1000% deserve your success.
