Getting to Know Matt Farah...

Dackelone · 05-17-2017, 04:41 AM

Just saw this... the back story on Farah.

Just watched this as well. Interesting insight in Matt.

This is a series the channel is doing. I watched the one on 'Engineering Explained' as well.

Neat to see them and listen to the back story as they tell it.

Yup, Matt does seem to be very real and down to earth. I always listen to his podcasts on Shoutengine.com

Sorry, but I can't warm up to Matt... My preferred reviewer by far is Chris Harris...

Matt's pretty cool.
Has a good sense of humor too (the story of his helmet (4 years ago).....from way before he was president)

I wonder if he still wears it at the track

I like Chris a lot. But I didn't like how he handled the whole /Drive(channel) YouTube thing a few years ago with Matt, Mike Spinelli and Mike Musto.(they all still seem to remain friends - Matt talked about it on one of his podcasts a while back) Chris Harris basically was shitting his pants bc his YT viewers went from 1+ million to less than 50K. and his income was drying up! And then after two months of that... he bailed out... without telling the other guys from /Drive channel. They found out via Instagram. Not cool. But I still enjoy watching Chris's videos. Speaking of which... he doesn't put out any more bc of his role on Top Gear.

Was introduced to Matt on The Car Show when it was airing on Speed channel.

He's done a couple of reviews for us in the past on both our Supercharged E92 M3 and M4, very humble and down to earth guy IRL. I think provides a good "everday man" review which make his videos enjoyable to watch.
