[@surferdude4487]

At first, I thought this would be a viewer give-away, but seeing you give back to the guy that does your interior work was so much better! I lookk forward to seeing this car running again.

[@bobnovaes9363]

Ohhhhhh 😂 that’s what I thought too… nice of Freddie❤!!! Congratulations!!!

[@BeardedFrog]

I have zero issues with him giving it to Matt. It was a great video and him and the team put a lot of work in getting it together. That said, it does feel a little shady in its execution. It's heavily implied from the title, and otherwise, that it's actually a "give away," (aka for fans/viewers). So to imply this, then only towards the very end of the video, reveal that implication was a farce and it's a actually being given to a friend of his... Does feel a tad shady for clickbait/views reasons. Again, I think it's great he gave it to him, and they put a lot of work into doing it. It just seems manipulative for views to imply it was actually a give away car, only to reveal at the very end what that meant.

[@marisagraham523]

This makes me smile so big! 🥺 Thank you for becoming a part of his life! Sending so much love to you and the guys! I know how much everything means to him and he deserves the best! He’s worked his literal a$$ off to get to where he is today. Beyond proud to call him my brother and watch him continue to surpass all he, we imagined! Love you Matti! Thank you again from his family💜

[@daronrr]

The fact that he was banging his head about knocking out a last minute job for you and staying up the night before his vacation proves he's the guy who deserves that recognition.

[@tavarish]

You're gonna want to stick around to the end of this one ;)

[@phillipscarboro6354]

[@MrSeoulja78]

For those of you who don’t know, I had the privilege of meeting Tavarish in person at SEMA. He truly is as humble as he shows in his videos. I was taken back by just how genuine of a good guy he is. There were other KZbinrs I met who definitely weren’t as friendly. Tavarish, if you’re reading this, I met you at SEMA when they took a group picture with the Stig, Jack, Vinwiki guys. You’re living my dream bro. If I wasn’t so old, I would definitely be doing what you’re doing now. I want you to know, you have my absolute loyalty and RESPECT. Looking forward to meeting you again in the future!

TQ Tavarish.. hope you will continue amazing and honest content... and hope you are happy with your life...

[@peterabdullah7260]

Well, he helped himself a lot to get this one done within 24 hours😂. I am going to be blunt here. This was definitely doable in 24 hours. Still impressive. Not gonna lie, but this was basically an engine swap and a wash with a few small bits and bops while Matt rebuilt a crash damaged far complexer car😅. I am used to working on Porsches and Freddie made it look a little more complex than it was for dramatic effect 😉

Matt's definitely well deserving of the car. For me it's still the Merci. That interior design he came up with is still one of the most incredible designs I've ever seen, because it balanced show-stopping wow-factor with a top-draw level of style and class, and absolutely nailed that "Million dollar supercar" tag. And he always seems like a really humble guy. And this shows why Freddie is a cut above the rest when it comes to Automotive KZbin; despite how much success he's had, and how big the channel gets, Freddie never forgets to look after the people who help him out.

[@Manu-qf4xf]

That's why this channel, Jack's channel, and also Mat's channel are different. You work hard to get what you have, but you never forget to thank all the help behind every build, or to help when it's needed.

Love the video. FYI if you need to stop the axles from rotating you can stick a large screwdriver in the slots of the rotor and it will get pinned against the caliper instead of have a guy in the air pressing the brakes. Just something I noticed.
