I just rebuilt my wrecked Mclaren 720s but then ran into some more issues after fitting the alloys. The car started to smoke, then completely cut out. We couldnt solve the issue and had to take it to mclaren themselves to fix it. After that @BenCollinsDrives took the 720s for a run around the track but it all ended badly as we tried to push him a little too hard.

Thanks so much to @RoadToSuccessOfficialPodcast & @BenCollinsDrives

    Best mechanic in a video yet. Top man can tell he knows his stuff.
  • @c0rn15hman3
    McLarensā€¦. Stigsā€¦. Canā€™t believe how massive your channel is now. Youā€™ve come a long way Mat, well done and well deserved
  • @keithmason5584
    When the McClaren tech says ā€œ Iā€™ve been following your videosā€ you just know your in a good place šŸ‘
  • @Umski
    Fair play to Mclaren for letting you into their workshops and allowing filming, not to mention the very professional tech - cost an arm and a leg mind but not being able to DIY on software is their key to retaining business šŸ˜®

    The Stig, aka Ben Collins, is such a legend. What a moment for you Mat. Props to him for giving it the full beans!
  • @reapercarl5047
    So glad you were nice to the stig about comin off an he looked gutted i know in the past he came off on top gear an they were pissy about it clarkson stuck up for him so its nice to see you were understanding

    I went to the recording of ā€œRoad to Success podcastā€ hosted by Ben Fowler and guest was Ben Collins. This was recorded last week and he talked about this day with you. He had such great things to say about you, the car and the team. Shame you were not able to make it, there were quite a few YouTubers there and was such a great evening. Thanks for the continued, high quality content.

    Itā€™s so cool that MCLaren is so open to all of this, very good points on customer service, sales & marketing, they got it right!
  • @TimeBucks
    The whole oil check with McLaren is crazy.
  • Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen the Stig with even the slightest bruised ego. He took it like a champ, well done to everyone. Incredible car, Matt!
  • @bwy844
    Such a pleasure watching (and learning) from, and through your channel Mat, epic videos, funny, heartfelt, and truthful. Further, so happy to see McLaren finally worked on that horrid service reputation of theirs, itā€™s been a struggle for years with my 12c. Massive respect for taking on the 720s project!
  • @theryliedog
    I appreciate that Matt's content includes actually using his cars after the build. I think it adds a lot.
  • @zollotech
    The whole oil check with McLaren is crazy. They could put a dip stick in the dry sump and engine oil tank you would think. Perfect mechanic for you to get too. Couldnā€™t have asked for better.So epic to have Ben Collinā€™s on too..
  • @nikiguymer5840
    Matt you really are the best!,you are so good at explaining in Laymans terms what you are actually doing!I admit I am a bit late to the party but since Covid I have learnt so much regarding cars&engines as that is mostly what I have been consuming on YouTube.the work that you,your team and especially your father take on should be celebrated,Thankyou so much and never stop smiling lad!
  • What a guy simon was & really knew his stuff & went above & beyond for you and for Mclaren for letting you film also! What a great build and channel u have matt! Big up to the pops aswel always helping and so wholesome giving him the ferrari too! Also smashed it with having the stig on! Keep up the great work Matt! šŸ’ŖšŸ¼
  • @wetgiblets
    I am quite new to the channel but itā€™s refreshing to see such friendships, family and something positive. Great content. For the oil level, since nothing has a dipstick and no more ā€˜fill to spillā€™ I am not sure I would have relied on draining a bit out - even on dry sump. I think I would drain it all and then put back in a known measured quantity - but then again I would never have undertaken a rebuild like that! Would love to know how many person hours in total you spent on it as well as the cost of parts - not for cost but out of curiosity! Thanks for such an interesting an uplifting positive engaging channel.
  • Great video content. Mat is 90% happy/aughing/smiling off the timeā€¦ Mats dad 100 happy looking and laughing of the time šŸ˜‚. Well done squad
