I BOUGHT A CHEAP VOLKSWAGEN GOLF CABRIO FOR £4,000! 

Haha thanks. Plenty more where that came from

Hardly

Really. I hadn't noticed 😅

To address your “Why didn’t I work harder at school” = you were a ginger kid growing up in beautiful sunny warm Bermuda dodging the sun 😉

Oh yes

I’m ex car trade and own three of the bottle openers. (Allegedly).

You forgot the sting in the backside 😂

Hilarious 😕

​@@vincentyerkess7230 Vinegar as always.

I agree, I’m tempted to drive up from Hampshire to get my Rangie polished up!

It might be special price for matt since hes a regular

Yeah that is crazy cheap. I know some places would charge 280 just for the bumper repair and paint. Got to have been discounted for his continued use.

Mates rates. 😊

You should do a video at Jimmy`s workshop to give him a plug.Sounds like a real legend.

Or wait until the metal rusts through round the bung hole and the waters gone. Should not take long.

Folks this is a world first, no other car channel has ever test driven a white German Submarine 😂.

Hahaha I will

Obviously the Wonder Grip van wasn’t there for product placement, so a change was necessary. A change is as good a a rest.

Yes please return to the old format. I’m six minutes in to this and have not even seen the car.

No it's good to mix up the format now and then

Thanks. I try

My mums friends think Mat is a lovely lad. The older ladies like him.

@@michaelmccann4706 Loads of lady's don't see how much work car showroom workers put in. They think it's run smoothly like a Tesco's store. Car business is manic. Because cars look so well produced with the branding and advertising and sheer finish of such a marvel people's expectations are high but they don't know how much work goes into preparing them for customers. Especially if the dealer is actually any good. The lady's in my family thought my job was a doss about for years just because it was cars I was working with until they started to see how much work we do. They thought it was some joke thing until they see the real levels and standards on TV and RU-vid. People will put up with Josie developments because they accept it's a messy hard job. They don't give that same respect to car showroom workers. As car showroom workers we have to stand by our cars and there is no I can wait for it to get fixed like a house job. The car brand heads are down your neck expecting problems to be fixed efficiently and on time. DIY house jobs people put up with it.

Dock leaf does the trick..my Grandma swore by it.

I hadn't heard of these cheap brands of tyres till Matt mentioned them on his channel. I wouldn't dream of fitting them to a vehicle I owned.

😂😂

6k for a 4 year old VW Golf Cabrio at the time sounds incredibly cheap, I’m assuming it was a category car?

Haha I know, thought that as soon as I said it

@@HighPeakAutos Great video though as always. I’m off for brunch! 😉

Impressive

@@HighPeakAutos it's fantastic on fuel...those numbers for mpg are not from dash reading, they are using "fuelio" 😀

He gets trade prices as he puts a lot of work their way?

Thanks

Much appreciated

Convertibles aren't just for hairdressers.

I think you mean dock leaf

What plant cures stinging nettles? Dock leaves and stinging nettles grow in similar habitats. There are a few theories as to why dock leaves appear to help nettle stings. The most plausible are: the cooling sensation of the sap evaporating from the affected skin can relieve some of the stinging sensation.

That's so that the hairdressers get a quick look before shutting down the salon !!!

​@ma😂rkhealey3831

Glad you enjoyed it

Haha they’re the best when you’re on a beach

I think you have to try and put yourself in the position of someone with tens of millions of pounds. Several hundred grand on a car isn't that much in that context. It is also maybe worth pointing out that you can easily exceed 200 grand when spec'ing a Range Rover, even a Range Rover Sport SVR, so what's another couple of hundred grand for the best? Alternatively, you could be spec'ing up your new Range Rover while noting you can get a gently used Cullinan for not much more, and noting that used Cullinans are holding their prices much better than new Range Rovers, even used Range Rovers. A used Cullinan is arguably one of the safer cars to put your money into.

It's all relative

@@nigel.w I suppose that, personally, I’d rather put the money into a small collection of classical cars, no of which would be too “shouty” about my financial position… Some of the wealthiest people I’ve met in France drive very low key cars, my favourite being a Citroen C15 van! Each to their own!

400k for a car that looks like it was modelled on cardboard boxes? I'm out.

​@@gileshalliwell3591 Very much each to their own! I think it's worth noting that your average Cullinan owner has a large car collection. And they may or may not be shouting about their wealth as they see it. Appreciating quality, appreciating the engineering, wanting the best for yourself if you can afford it, does not necessarily mean you are shouting about your wealth. You may be, many people will be, and certainly many people will have that perception of you, but it's not necessarily the case. And you don't have to spend anywhere near the 190 grand plus you need to spend on a Cullinan to have people giving you the finger. A 40 grand Bentley will get similar reactions, and that's a very different level of wealth on display; in fact, no more than what you'd pay for a fairly ordinary new car. Anyway, I think there's generally a difference between old money and new money. Most old money people I know will buy a quality car a year or two old, after the new buyer has suffered the biggest hit in depreciation, then they fastidiously maintain it and run it for 10-20 years, or until it dies, and then do it again. Others, as you say, will even appear as if they haven't got a bean. Whereas new money people do generally seem to need to show off their wealth. Of course, there are plenty of old money people happy to show they've got money and plenty of new money people who are modest or don't want to make their friends and family feel uncomfortable. FWLIW, if a Cullinan would fit my lifestyle I could see myself owning one. In my mind it evokes a certain Edwardian charm that I like. Of course, it's generally too large for British roads, and if you don't have a chauffeur or you don't have valet parking everywhere you go, you'd have to worry about the criminal damage so many people seem disposed to when they see such a car parked. Yes, my tastes are indeed questionable. I like cars most people don't -- although I also like many cars most other car enthusiasts like. I like 90's-style nitro beers, sweet German white wine the locals don't drink, and have a penchant for disco music, particularly the Bee Gees.

Oh it was definitely one of those weeks

Trade prices.

@@patrickjones2985 Good point thanks - still seem very cheap. however.

Not to mention the wheel refurb guys! Last time I priced up getting a set of fairly simple alloys done, the best price I got was about £250 and that must have been 6-7 years ago.

That’s how I was feeling when this was filmed but all is good now

Yeah that’s not a thing in Bermuda

I have LEDs and DSG in mine, (South Africa)

@@wadewill5934 proper spec that!

The problem we have with Matt is he hates VW Golfs , especially diesels. If you back catalogue his vlogs this all stems from him buying badly from car owners who couldn't afford their dream and failed to maintain them. A true enthusiast will service them religiously and won't part with their pride and joy so Matt never sees these 🤣 I still watch because I find him amusing , on more than one level 🤣

Quack quack

Generally not on this channel.

Haha imagine
