Matt Watson Biography

Automobile journalist, blogger, face of the British YouTube. He used to work in magazines, and for the past few years he devoted the promotion of the Carwow YouTube channel. And today it is so cool that it is noticeable from space. But now Mat, like all of us, is sitting at home, so we found him and asked several questions of a global scale: about LADA, about self -isolation, about a car for life.

Do they drive well in the UK? In general, good. But the main drawback of our drivers is stubbornness. This is annoying. We also don't like it when they overtake us. So if you go to overtaking a slowly driving car, this car will accelerate and try to stop you. A separate topic is oncoming drivers. Secondly, instead of slowing down and avoiding an accident, they will rather break into you and die than to give in.

This is very British. What are you doing on self -isolation? I have a green screen, and I record different videos in the apartment. Then the installations are applied to the background of the images of the car that I am talking about. In general, over the past year, we managed to shoot many reviews. This means that during the isolation we can continue to produce full-fledged videos in which I drive in cars and spend a test drive.

Do you know any Russian cars? I just heard that there is something called Ji-Hey-Zet. I am a complete idiot. Of course, I heard about Russian cars. We all know the Lada brand! So yes, I remember.

There were terrible cars, they composed a lot of jokes about them. Lada Vesta? I have no idea what it is. Could you drive a classic car every day? I have several such cars. For example, Mazda MX-5 years. Not such a classic, but still cool. I also have Porsche Carrera in a body with a 3.4 -liter engine. I seriously finalized it. And one of my cars, in fact, is very cool - this is Fiat and Polish.

Cool baby, there are no such people today. Absolutely no security systems. If I break, then I will die. But he is so cute, small and completely unlike any modern machine that I drove. I adore it, but I don’t go far: I just ride to the store and vice versa. What is your perfect car - what is it? Most likely, it will be a mix of different parts of cars. I really like Toyota GT 86, but I want a sports car with an open top.

So we take Mazda MX-5, but with a fierce suspension. But the motor is a great option - the VW Golf R turbocharged engine. As a result, we get an excellent car: it is fast, cool cool, looks cool, you can also fold the roof. I would like this. Are you a good driver? I don’t think in fact, we asked Mat a bunch of questions and shot a big video - about accidents, beloved and unloved cars, and so on.

Turn on and enjoy! Including famous car people from around the world. Especially for the car. Today we are with us the popular British auto -journalist Mat Watson, leading Carwow. What happens in the world of cars? Sometimes I come across his races on different cars for the first time.
