[@edtheroverman]

Absolutely 100% more Matador content please. Can't wait.

[@johnthompson7105]

More matadors please my lord

[@tigerspook1]

More Matadors please, have lovely childhood memories of a Matador Timber Winch truck, 12 yrs old standing on the clutch pedal with both feet to change gear, & fighting with that huge steering wheel pulling with ever ounce of strength I had to turn the wheel, quite a job for a 12yr old girl to drive that lovely old thing and wonderful memories of the experience,..

[@philipmoores5202]

My memories of the AEC Matador was when I was serving in the RAF, 69/71 I was on tactical signals. We had gone to Salisbury Plain on exercise with our comms equipment etc. For the return journey to RAF Tangmere I was nominated to navigate for the driver of a fully loaded Matador and drawbar trailer back to camp. What a journey, we must have hit a top speed of 30mph downhill. The uphill road towards Petersfield in Hampshire, we were reduced to less than walking pace. Every time I see a Matador I think of that journey. Happy days!!

An old family friend did his 5-year engineering apprenticeship with the British Army in the late 50's, mostly in West Germany during the Cold War. They were mostly working on AEC Matador (mk.3's?) that towed around radar appliances and huge generators to power them. Bill has loads of photos of his service time, with pics of the MAN's, Mercs and AEC's working in the snow. Bill is amazed that we Brits hold the German stuff in such high esteem as he rates the AEC's as being far better starters on minus 10c mornings and the AEC's often had to tow the MAN's off! Anyway, been back and "Liked" plenty of old videos.

[@astravanmk2]

Would love to see more matador content as and when you able. They are wonderful things to see.

[@LordMuck]

If you want more Matador content next year, the best way is to Subscribe to the channel and get behind it. If it's a video you're not bothered about watching, just press PLAY and give it a LIKE and do something else while it's playing as it makes a MASSIVE difference to the channel and then in turn we can go and film the stuff you love - the Will It Start's ? The MATADOR content. We will promise to do all we can as long as you do YOUR bit 😉👍

[@seanworkman431]

Great content and lovely trucks, merry Christmas all.

[@richardcox6820]

Loads more AEC s content needed , and even more Tea.

[@stewartcaldwell864]

Yes definitely more Matador videos

[@nigelbeiley6668]

There no more of a beautiful sound, than the sound of an AEC Matador. Yes please more of these lovely vehicles ❤😊

[@phillipsprangiii3112]

YES! More Matador Content...I'll join up under another name, oi....and I'm a diesel Creek subscriber, so I'm doin' my bit to spread the Matador gospel. Rebuilding my 1942 CCKW to original nick...with a few mods. Oh, yeah: Brian Bashall himself taught my 17 year old self about the bow-wave technique at dunsfold land rovers back in the seventies

[@comedyash]

Yes to more Matadors in the new year! Seeing more of the Maltese Madador would be very much appreciated, that one just wants to live!

[@LordMuck]

Yes she's a special old girl.

[@donrandall4606]

Always a good day for a Matador video.

[@ryanjohnson4320]

Hav'nt seen the whole video yet, but this is a real treat! Much respect to anyone who is the curator to these trucks. Nobody realizes the dedication and man hours put into something like this. Brilliant! (from Manitoba Canada)

[@rog3816]

When I was 8 years old local tree surgeons, Dalrymples, used their Matador to haul timber from the Glory woods, near Dorking, I spent all my spare time watching the mat rear up to take the strain, At the same time as this local fairground folk, Bensons, used modified Scammell gun tractors for generating and hauling rides. both of these vehicles have been favourites of mine since that time. So the more Mat's the merrier!

[@davidwarren1315]

Please please please do more matador content these trucks remind me of my dearly missed grandad who drove these when he worked for British road services and told us tales of his experiences keep up the good work guys

[@RODALCO2007]

More Matador please, great trucks. Never heard of the name Matador before.

[@briyeo]

Loved the Matadors since seeing them at the AEC rallies at Wollaton Park in the 1990's. The mass startup of the Matadors for the parade was something to behold.

[@slickymick]

Yes please more matador's. Keep the good work up 👍

[@SteveNicholls-f6k]

More Matadors, please! Loved these from a kid when a local transport firm had one as a wrecker. The yard is a housing estate today with the firm and wrecker long. forgotten. Keep up the great work!

[@kenrobinson9989]

Yes, certainly more Matador content in 2024

[@simonmitchell7071]

Definitely more Matadors! It’s their simplicity that makes them such wonderful vehicles with so much character...

[@iancarter5234]

Keep it up lads great to see all long distance lorry driver by trade but used to drive AEC coaches national express couldn't catch them good to see this work and content the effort you all put in is worth it have a great new year

[@neilporter3286]

I would love to see more Matador content on the channel. It’s not just the trucks, it’s the way you and Matt interact - he has such a droll sense of humour and facial expressions when you are narrating. As for the £15 ULEZ charge, you would certainly get a of emissions lot for your money with those engines. All the best for you and your channel in 2024, onwards and upwards! 👍❤️🙂

[@bmortlock1956]

A whole-hearted "YES" to MORE Matador content from a retired Lorrie driver in the Mississippi USA !!! 🇺🇲💪👍👌😁

[@LordMuck]

🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@TimKeeler-g1d]

Those Matadors are Awesome. Wish we could get hold of them in US. Love seeing their restorations take place.

[@jamesvw]

Always love to see Matadors! Please more thank you! Cheers

[@peterduffy3871]

Would love to see more of the Mats. It’s heartwarming to see the beautiful old girls getting the love they deserve.

[@bluezy261175]

I like the Matadoors; but seriously, make the videos that will make you smile. It is important to have fun.

[@garyparrish9300]

More Matador content, please. I love seeing these back in service. First fell in love with the Matador as a child when two examples were included in a model set of a RAF Fighter base. If I recall, there was a fuel bowser and an ordinance lorry. Also had a die cast of the RA artillery tractor. Cool old trucks. We appreciate them in the USA as well.

[@paulcarolinecolesmith-yr3kn]

Yes please can we have more of these wonderful historical Madador trucks, it would be great to see the Maltese Matador restoration from start to finish if that is possible your doing great work 👌👏👍

[@patwilson7671]

more Matadors please fine wagons

[@rickibenka9497]

I just found this video by chance. What a lovely looking lorry the Green one is. It's hard to imagine that they were once trundling up and down our old roads keeping the essential stock moving. Well done to you both for keeping these excellent machines alive. Looking forward to the next video. 👏👏

[@mattwyatt2375]

It's always good to catch up with the matadors , definitely more content next year .

[@stephenbrown571]

Hell yeah I started my driving career. In a 1959 H model Mack. In 1983 at 16 years old so I have a soft spot for old trucks.

[@Martin15686]

Love to see more content. Fantastic looking trucks. Was great to see you and matt at the AEC show at Newark this year . Martin Emberton Imperial.

[@miketaylor8777]

Drifting a Matador now that is quite something. Fantastic video. Most definitely more Matador footage next year.

[@marklorne6790]

More on Matadors (and Fordsons, Dextas, Fergies, Schluters and anything else interesting with an engine!) please. We lost my dad in September but he loved your videos - i think it helped massively that you talk proper Norfolk! And something on Field Marshalls would be good too. Keep up the good work.

[@LordMuck]

Sorry to hear that Mark. I'm glad he enjoyed the videos, I'm sure he saw lots of things he would have seen back in the day.

[@spudhauler]

Always get a like for the matadors. The more you can fit in next year the better👌also like the interaction you 2 have when filming.👍

[@sallyannefrancis8647]

2024 this Old Girl is 70 !!! Wow !!!

[@garyhollis4364]

Love that green matador. Me and my Daughter love watching matadors in your channel

[@ABourdain-qb1ku]

More Matador content please. Just been to Llandudno Transport Festival and the Matadors stole the show. On the final day as always some of the more modern HGV’s got stuck and the Matadors were amazing recovering them. I think my main memory is how agile they were in the crowded show field. Passing jams to get to the stuck trucks, easily getting into position to recover, then effortlessly dealing with the soft ground and heavy loads. Perfection.

[@LordMuck]

The Matador content is over on Patreon.com/lordmuck

[@VintageFarm1086]

I really enjoy seeing the Matador's. It's nice seeing a truck we don't have in US.

[@marvinwinter8174]

Keep the Matadors coming next year!

[@KevinSimpson_576]

I think this is what my Grandad had years ago. His was used for winching trees so that they fell the right direction in a tight spot. His had a winch, jib and ground anchors. I only remember going in it once and as there was only a drivers seat I had to sit on an Oak roundal 😊

[@andywilliment581]

Defo more on the Matadors please. Can’t beat the old trucks. 😎🇬🇧

[@stevenroberts7627]

More Matadors please Mucker! What a pair of stunning examples they are.

[@gmartin8240]

Well done Mucker, more Matador videos . That truck is timeless. Pure history 🔧🚜👍🔧

[@anncollier3467]

Showed my 85 year father and he had the biggest smile just what he needed to lift his spirits while batting with cancer. Thank you and more please 🤓

[@chriscargle2639]

From NW Georgia USA yes on matador content. Very interesting trucks

[@50bograt]

more matadors please they are awsome trucks i would love one with a living box on the back.....best camper ever in my view.

[@chrishankins905]

I’ve never seen or even heard of Matador trucks until now. But they’re extremely cool and I’d love to see more videos on them. Thanks a bunch for all you do to show us folks in the USA things we would likely never get to see if y’all hadn’t shown us

[@simonchambers663]

Hello LM & Mat. Yes, please let’s have more Matadors on the channel. Personally, as a truck driver & AEC fan, I find all your Matador content very interesting indeed. In the village I grew up in, there was a wood yard. As I was school friends with the owners son I used to spend time there. And guess what they had in that yard? Matadors! Do well. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@iainpaton1865]

Wow friend so many beautiful old trucks a would love one but the cost probably would be too much 😢 please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 😊

[@robsnyder552]

More Matadors. These videos are the reason I grabbed an Airfix kit and built it for my collection.

[@pagano126]

The more Matador content, the better! was a surprise seeing that connection with diesel creek for a while. merry Christmas from Melbourne Australia .

[@shaunconroy1372]

As an ex matty timber tractor driver, I absolutely need more matty action please. 100% keep going with this.

[@LordMuck]

It's all on Patreon.com/lordmuck The subscription goes to the collie rescue and it helps prevent the moaning, tight-arsed whingers from getting free content that they still moan about.

[@MurrayWells-s3o]

Love the Matador, but hey, love any commercial diesel really

[@poorfarm-nn6ii]

These are neat trucks. We don’t have anything like that here. I can guarantee there is no way I could drive one. Everything about it is backwards from what I’m used to! Keep it up. Those trucks are very interesting!

[@FrogBoyDances]

Je t'adore, le Matador 🥰

[@daviddavies1596]

Yes please! Loads more Matador and any other AEC content.

[@jamiemcglynn8564]

Yes please more matadors

[@anthonyfothergill9972]

Yes please more Matadors. They are KZbin gold.

[@iandavies8061]

More Matadors! Maybe link up with Matt from Diesel Creek who has a couple of vintage US army trucks? I bet he'd love the Matador...

[@LordMuck]

Never heard of him.

[@patkelly7999]

Great stuff Kurt, Matt and Puppo, looking forward to seeing Matt and His Matadors, I think He is a patient genius, fair play💯👌👍🙏🙂

[@jamesdrever1181]

Yes defo as always good to see

[@nev599]

Lovely machines like these should always be kept going......love it.

[@tinkeringwithtanks]

Ooo!! Always a good Day when you upload a new video!!

[@swblandyman]

Definitely more matadors required next year, Merry Xmas to all involved in creating the videos

[@johndrew3202]

Always enjoy the Matador vlogs so that would be my Christmas wish. They are a special memory of the 'good old days'!

[@stihl0903]

The old AEC Matadors and Militants their is something nice about them. Good Video.

[@Michaelreed902]

Great videos mucker as always great seeing all the work that goes into the restorations

[@elborrachogrande]

For people who don't have buddies that do mechanical stuff, its hard for them to comprehend that when you get a text that says, come over and work on the truck, you don't ask questions, you just show up.

[@johngray2585]

Oh Yes please have to love old trucks no matter what side of the pond you're on

[@fhwolthuis]

Love the Matadors! 👍

[@Fanbladetowers]

Definitely want to watch more Matador content

[@paddynfs6452]

Loved the comment regarding carbon offset, I can see this logic catching on and I for one are off to get some fair trade cookies to go with my fair trade teabags. That way I will have some carbon credits to use on them cold mornings 👍 Great video and lovely to see these old work horses being kept alive.

[@michaelkeen5010]

What you guys do to keep Matadors operational is just fantastic. Loved meeting you earlier this year at the AEC Rally at Newark.👍

[@tonygiraldes7848]

All your content is just the greatest but these Matador videos are extra special 😊❤️ Happy Holidays! 🎄

[@LordMuck]

Thank You Tony, all the best mate

[@peterchristian7885]

[@eveningstar3230]

[@LordMuck]

Good old boy 😉🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@simongriggs4351]

Lord muck love the videos with the matadors keep them coming thanks

[@daveeaster7770]

Would love some Scammel pioneer/explorer content too 🙏

[@frankthoem2098]

Thank you all guys for keeping these lovely sounding beauties alive! Merry Christmas and keep on bringing more of them back to life.

[@philipspencer1834]

More Matador !

[@regs3836]

I want to see More and More Matadors...! Living here in the USA we're a bit short on these beauties. I'd love to bring one home with me.

[@SimonPerry-cz4ke]

You can Never Have Enough Matador Content😃😃

[@ronaldroberts9556]

Without a doubt much more Matador. Daily would suit me fine. I had the pleasure of driving one of Pete Buckley’s Matadors a few years ago. Was an emotional time for me!

[@benrichards7397]

Love these trucks would happily spend a day in that shed. Keep up the good work guys

[@sallywest5634]

More matadors would be great. We love the tractors but these old girls are very special and the work put in to restore them is outstanding.

[@leeboy1977]

Think I’ve found a matador in a field where I live. I ll take some pictures and send them to you 👍

[@LordMuck]

Please do

[@walkingshimano]

Yes please! Watching you shift those gears like it was nothing haha fond memories of these trucks and festivals.

[@SkidderKev]

Those are some pretty cool trucks. That heavy haul one (green) was my favorite. Be cool to see some more on these

[@LordMuck]

A lot of them were used to skid and haul timber after the war Kev

[@SkidderKev]

@@LordMuck I went to Google after I read this and found a short clip of one with a picker on the truck pulling a log wagon. That was pretty neat

[@RCUKScaleModels]

definitely more matador content it is a no-brainer who doesn't love big trucks

[@ewanmclean8233]

Like the way you put your whole body into changing gear 😂 old lorries great big left leg muscles 👍🏽

[@LordMuck]

I've tried changing with two fingers but it just stays in the same gear...

[@spannerdog123]

Yes please keep it coming.

[@afberglund2764]

Love those trucks

[@kenmoore589]

Great to see the effort being put into saving the old girls.

[@adrianmitson8503]

Brilliant video mucker and yes definitely more matador videos

[@chox2001]

The look of the matador reminds me of my favourite truck because the front axle looks like a 4 wheel drive being so far forward. The UNIMOG is my favourite truck and so versatile. I hope to own one before my days are over.
