We always use two phrases in our project meetings at work. “Hold out yer hand” when the job has gone well and “massively overspent” when we’ve costed the job wrong! So seeing you two together is gold dust for me! 😂
Hahaha
I've got to say that Mike's TV persona as a larger-than life loud Southerner is exactly that - a persona. When you meet him, he's a lovely, genuine guy with a real passion for cars - whether it be a Porsche, or in my case a Morris Minor. I'm so pleased to see him with Matt.
That’s right
Agree, he's a very astute and engaging person off screen.
Agreed, met him several times.
Good to hear that. On TV/Video he comes across as a bit pompous to me.
He’s not as modest as Matt.
Edit: I’m almost at the end of the video and he seems more relaxed and likeable now.
@@Conservator. Indeed, and why would you want to create a "persona" that's not very nice if you are actually very nice? Surely years back someone would have said "drop the act. be yourself"? I used to FFW most of his bits
Mike Brewer is a legend. I’d love to see more of him on TV. As for people knocking him - you’ll always get that with envious, underachievers!
Alex Kersten can't say enough about Mike. When Alex was leaving Car Throttle Mike was willing to put his hand in his own pocket to set Alex up with AutoAlex. Mike is a genuine person that was mis represented with the split with Ed.
Might of been misrepresented, But it's Still shit to talk behind his back like that, Especially when ed didn't.
Nicely done Matt. Taking the channel to higher heights, Mike Brewer is a part of my years of growing up watching motoring programmes
One man's higher heights are another's deeper depths.
Two utterly inspirational guys! Those 46 minutes shot by. Thank you both.
Thanks
What I love about Mike Brewer is that he is just as enthusiastic now when he talks about cars as he was all those years ago when he first started out.
Yes, but the main issue is that he never lets anyone else talking.
Mike "tired of being called a fat b4stard by a boiled egg" 😂 absolutely underrated comment, not just for comedy value but such a valid point regarding online trolls 👌
Mike and his team have provided me, and millions of others, hour upon hour of top TV car show content for decades. We’ve laughed and learned, in equal measure. The cost of TV ownership is significantly better value having Mikes shows to watch.
Equally, UA-cam is fast becoming, or already become, a fantastically rich environment for car journalism.
Love it all❤
I'm from South Africa, didn't know Mike Brewer but this episode has taught me a lot about the history of automotive entertainment in the UK, being an avid Top Gear and HPA viewer. Great episode Matt.
Thank you
Wheeler dealers is better than Top Gear and HPA is on the way up
Found this channel recently and slowly getting through a lot of the previous content. Really enjoying it so far.
The thing I love about Mike and the Wheeler Dealers show is that they showcase and champion so many local businesses that repair, refurbish or remake vehicle parts and accessories.
I was completely unaware about the extent & variety of such places. Its so good to see such people/places not only surviving but thriving.
It always amazes me just how many individual items can be saved instead of being binned for a brand new replacement.
This was a real treat. Thank you so much for this. Look forward to the next episode.
Im gonna piss all the haters off.
Loved the idea of Matt talking cars with one of TV’s biggest car icons.
What a nice bloke Mike Brewer is. He doesn’t deserve all that nasty trolling. He’s a working class guy who has worked hard all his life to get to where he is today. I wonder how many of his haters can say that? 🤔. Silence…….
Hope you do more of this car chat Matt.
All the best to Mike and his family and the same to you Matt. 🙏
Well said 👌
What a nice bloke well both of you are but Mike keeping the same staff for all those years is great loyalty, and honesty is a great tool.
Whatever you feel about him, when I met him he was nothing but kind and generous.
I had a brief encounter with Mike B, at the classic car car show at NEC a couple of years ago - Respect and a wonderful down to earth person.
I absolutely love his passion for cars!
Most people have never met him. Idiots on social media get brave with their brave pants on and say brain dead things.
The Jordan and LeBron of car selling, brilliant
I don't know where he gets so much energy and enthusiasm but people like Mike deserve every ounce of success they get.
Matt, your scale is clearly much smaller (at present) but it's clear to see that drive. I hope the both of you carry on carrying on doing what you do to entertain us. Thank you both.
Mike don’t let these negative comments get you down. Keep up the great work.
I love Edd but that split was a while ago now. This is more about Matt and a collaboration with Mike Brewer. Let’s just enjoy the progression of Matt and the High Peak channel.
Well said
Exactly 👍🏾
Both Matt & Mike are great content producers. Keep up the great work guys, for every one person that writes tosh about either of you there are probably thousands more who think the complete opposite.
A new collaboration that looks like it’s going to develop nicely. I really enjoy High Peak Autos channel. Matt is sincere and genuine. His enthusiasm for certain cars like Range Rovers and the Freelander 2 have persuaded me to buy an FL2 HSE.
I’m obviously rubbish at maths . I never could add up how Mike and ed made any money, when you took into account Ed’s labour.
This channel is reaching High Peaks! Congrats Matt.
Haha thanks!
I see what you did there 😄
Great chat with Mike! A shame to hear people can be negative about him online. A legend and inspiration in the car world in my eyes!
Mike your a diamond. Everyone should watch this. One of the best interviews I’ve seen in a long time 👍👍
I see why you get more excited about old every day stuff than higher end stuff. I'm the same, think it's because the chances of an everyday car surviving so long are so less so it's nice to see them when they do survive, especially in good condition, unrestored.
That’s right
Completely agree. You kind of expect some high end stuff to have done 25000 miles in 20 years but not the small hatchbacks of this world. On this, I genuinely smile more driving my daughters 05 Clio more than my 1 year old car…
I'm quite partial to older higher end stuff too. Like Liz Hurley. Beats Love Island BEV equivalents any day. ❤
We have loads of old classic beauties
@@Anriruawhats BEV
I met Mike a couple of weeks ago at Drivetribe live and he was a thoroughly down to earth nice bloke. Well done Matt👍
People wrongly assume the WD Mike is the same as real life Mike.
Absolutely right. Really nice guy
Two of my favourite personalities to watch. Matt, you've just gone to new heights and should be proud of what you've achieved. Acting, a business man, Internet personality! All round nice guy.
Thanks
It astonishes me how anyone can't just see Mike Brewer as a wonderful hard working loveable guy that for all his hard earned success is genuinely giving back to the car community and just the community in general. I respect you Mike. Great video
Matt- I have been watching Mike Brewer and you since the beginning, and have tons of respect and admiration for what you have both brought to the car world on your respective platforms. I am a big fan of all that you guys do to inform and entertain. And I have also done my part over the years by buying over 50 used cars in my lifetime! Thanks for this enlightening interview with the host of my favorite TV show….by the host of my favorite UA-cam channel. Awesome!
Mike must be one of the hardest working people out there, really enjoyed this.
I've always liked Mike Brewer. He is forthright, enthusiastic and fun. And rightfully proud. Nice one, Matt.
Brilliant.... an original true petrol head.... they say never meet your hero's but you vibed...
Mike what a legend….as a kid I knew of him via his car dealerships and then worked in same TV company twenty years ago and he was always honest and treated all the crew really well, great bloke. 😂❤. Oh I lived in Catford as a kid and didn’t know they filmed there lol😅
@@marcdelaunay1 thats probably the reason why MB still has a high profile TV media career, while his former co presenter doesn't...
@@shelfridges perhaps although to can be pretty cruel to the best of us….never met his former colleagues mind…can on,y go on what I know really. Mike is a diamond but sometimes you’ve got to be as hard as one in to sadly as there are many many untalented grifters who do well too, again not saying his former colleagues were at all but Mike always been up front and honest, but can’t say a lot of others he’s had to work with are within the production companies or to broadcasters especially….but that’s the nature of the business sadly at times.
Brilliant to see this video and this is proof that Mike is a genuine guy, as I met him at Classic Car Show at NEC in Nov 2022 and often chat via Twitter - ALSO.... I noticed the wall of number plates from around the world, as I sent mine to him when I lived in Australia for 10 years (look out for a blue plate/white letters with 'MSD II') 😉👍
Never understood all the negativity Mike gets, been watching him since I was a kid and his passion and knowledge for cars is amazing, I don't know how fellow petrolheads can dislike him.
Great video. I met Mike 15 years ago at a motoring event and he was exactly the same then as he is now. Just a true gentleman petrolhead who doesn’t deserve the hate he receives. Keep up the good work, Matt.
Never been a fan, but actually changed my view after watching this, seems much more down to earth than you see on TV.
PS nice format of video
Now you are in the circle. Congrats!!! You are so worth it! ❤🇸🇪
Between 2003 and 2004, we travelled between a small Portuguese city near Oporto and the Polish city of Łódź in an 1998 Opel Corsa 1.0 12v. We did it 3 times. 3500 km (@ 2200 miles) trip one way, 3 days driving. No air conditioning, no power steering, and yes, those seats were comfortable for such a cheap motor. Wouldn't do it nowadays after 20 years, but great times and adventures.
Having met Mike a number of times I can say he is a genuine, decent chap. Been watching him from the start. Great video.
Thanks, enjoyed that, got a lot of respect for Mike, he's become like the head of the UA-cam car channels family, the support he's given Alex and goes to the shows and gets involved in the videos, it's a refreshing change to see somebody who's done so well yet lacks the ego others in the same position may have.
Moving up in the game Matt, well done!😊
How does talking with that idiot mean that Matt is going up in the world?
Two of my favourite car people just chatting, brilliant! Well done matt!
Mike is such a legend, for the first few seasons of WD I wasn't too sure about him, while Ed did all the work he was off diddling around getting parts and never getting his hands dirty. but over time and many interviews you get a glimpse of the man, and he's pure gold.
A great start to your new series, Matt. Loved hearing from Mike Brewer and listening to you both sharing your passion for cars. Thanks to Mike Brewer for giving us Wheeler Dealers, one of the best car shows out there. I always loved watching the car repairs and transformation. So glad he inspired you 😀 Looking forward to your next CarChat ❤ Great job AJ and Ste
I had the pleasure of meeting Mike in May. Lovely guy. And, Matt, I'm impressed with your new direction in UA-cam content. 👍
I am sure there are million of family men like me who have loved all of Mike Brewers TV programmes with so much help and advice for the average ‘Mr Penniless Petrolhead’. Now retired, I found Matt on youtube,and have been a huge fan ever since for the exact same reasons, real entertainment for anyone who just loves cars.
I grew up with ‘Parkinson’ who interviewed many so called ‘stars’, he was brilliant because he allowed the guest to show a side of them none of us ever knew.
This was so good to watch Matt, whatever anyone says, Mike brewer is a Star to millions who love the car world, and you did a great job of creating something worthy of any TV channel.
On your recommendation I bought my latest car, when everyone else told me not to, and i love it.
Best wishes to you and your future, thank you, ‘Parky’ would be proud of you!.
That’s very kind of you. Thanks
I'm not a regular poster below the line, but I thought I'd post just to say how much I enjoy both your content, Matt, and in particular how much I enjoyed this conversation with Mike. I've been an avid fan of Mike since the early days of Deals on Wheels, and love his on-screen presence and his ability to distill down the complexities of negotiation and restoration in such an entertaining and digestible way. It was quite sad at times to hear the impact that some of the online commentary has had on you both, but remember that there are always many, many more quiet folk who love to enjoy the content you produce without comment than there are vocal sorts who like to chuck emotional rocks. Keep on Keeping on!
Mike brewer is a legend in the car world being watching his show for years he’s just a great guy Well done Matt 👍
Brilliant video Matt, fabulous interview with Mike Brewer! First watched Mike on Wheeler Dealers and caught up with early episodes, sadly missed out on earlier shows. Cannot believe ppl can be so vile, having been in car sales with Volvo and Vauxhall I truly understand how costly these businesses are. Thank you and look forward to next interview 🐈👍
Quality episode, really enjoyed this, gotta love Mike Brewer - Well done Matt! Unfortunately the world is a cruel place, lost many years myself worrying about what others thought, now I just don't care and it's brought great freedom! keep giving us this quality 🙂
Mike is like Motor Trade Royalty. Great that he mentors and encourages others. Would love to see you talk Range Rovers with Harry Metcalfe next.
The 'gone full circle' analogy is interesting. Also interesting is the connection with the two media platforms , with Mike through the old school TV route, and you Matt with the UA-cam model, which is becoming every bit as big and may soon surpass mainstream TV if it hasn't already. I love the formulaic format of both your channel and Wheeler Dealers. Maybe it's just my position on the spectrum but it's very comforting! Best of luck for the future Matt. Another great video.
2 car enthusiastic chaps , this should still be going at midnight 🤣
been in the trade for over 40 years and its great to see proper dealers telling how it is. we are regulated to death to protect our customers and we all welcome this as without our customers we would be nowhere. please, both of you , keep up the great work.
Big fan of Mike, always have been. 20 years this year since I walked out of school and started cleaning cars for a local used car dealer, wheeling & dealing cars in my spare time and more recently selling cars at a main dealer. Like you said Matt, I hate it some days and wish I could do something else, but I don't think I ever will (Until EV's inevitably ruin it all for everyone).
Love your style, keep rocking it!
What a fabulous episode....just brilliant to see the enthusiasm and personable energy from Matt and Mike.....thankyou so much. What an extraordinary insight into Mike
Mike Brewer is an absolute legend. One hell of a presenter. I could listen to him talk all day.
get help immediately the posts on here are totally cringe making I recorded all the programmes he was in and fast forwarded the bits he was in to get the bits I actually liked...gobby false and annoying
@@josephberrie9550why watch then
Hes a very genuine guy. Few people are as genuinely nice as Mike is. I met him at an event a few years ago.
There will be people growing up watching Matt who go to meet him in 15 years
Jealous trolls spoil people's lives if allowed to these days on social media that is an aspect of modern tech i hate
I agree
Awesome episode Matt. I have watched Mike's programs for years and so it's nice to see him outside of the TV show environment and just having a chat. All I can say is that the programs he has made have given me a lot of enjoyment over the years and have also inspired me to have a go and work on my own cars. It saddens me that he is clearly affected by online idiots with nothing more to contribute to society than cruelty emboldened by anonymity. I hope that Mike understands they are the minority and that there are many many more, like me, that love what he does. 🤝
Gotta love Mike, a true honest gent with passion and enthusiasm for what he does. A legend 👍🏻
You should do more of these Matt. Very good format 🎉
This was an excellent video and well done Matt for getting yourself in a position to do it. Mike is genuinely a nice guy and it was nice of him to open up and answer all of your questions.
Great to see you together, for everyone reading this, I think criticising successful people is just jealousy, it's tough sometimes to see people doing better than you, but before trying to drag someone else down, take a look at yourself first...
I always thought Mike was an entertaining character to watch, for me he comes across the same on this video as the TV shows. Great episode, many thanks for making it 👍
I can definitely see a. New tv show with these 2 guys one day soon
This video is another step up in all sorts of ways. Great to see Mike doing what he does best: talking cars. Super stuff, Matt.
To Matt and Mike, I’ve always been a car guy since I was yay high, Mike first inspired me to go out and do the whole thing bought a car a lightly crash damaged Daihatsu sportrak, fixed it up, used it for a bit, sold it made a wee profit, done a couple more, then life got shit.
Lost the mojo for life and cars, Then started watching Matt a year ago after a very dark few years, my ex wife asked if I could get her a car a month or so back and using all your advice bought her a really good little car, The buzz is back and really Can’t thank you both enough, I thought for years I wasn’t good enough but you two have just rewound the last 10yr of my life. thank you
Shared qualities. (Very) Hard working, confident, ambitious, capable, passionate, knowledgeable, some self-deprecation. Followed Matt for many years and have always appreciated that he, unfailingly, takes the time to read the comments and, when appropriate, replies. Can’t be easy and something to hang on to. Stay grounded, Matt, and good luck. NB. “All car dealers are, good and decent” Hmmmm, bit like all teachers, priests, police are all decent. Tongue temporarily lodged in cheek for a moment. 99/100 for the vid.
What a great video. Just like you do now. Mike has been a great inspiration to me in the world of cars. Watch all your videos and also any TV show Mike is involved with. Enjoy being a guest at this years car dealer awards...
The line between professionally produced mainstream TV shows and ‘amateur' UA-cam presentations is getting real blurry - especially with episodes like this one. Congrats - very nicely done Matt.
Thanks!
This is better. Keeping it real
Mat and Mike, brilliant. Great to see you two together, shows how big you're getting Mat, well deserved.
Amazing! Thanks - great watch and made me smile watching the pair of you chatting and sharing your joys of cars.
I've always liked Mike, a down to earth guy, always watched his productions.
OLD OUT YERRAAAAND
You’ve just bought…a CAR!
What a fantastic and humbling video, thank you both for making it!!
Great video Matt, well done. Mike came in for a lot of grief after the Ed China separation, but I listened to Mike’s explanation and have the greatest respect for him. I’m glad you did the Corsa thing, it relates to the average person.
Corsa Merit in red 😊. T reg i think was my learner
Great chap Mike, really good chat. So humble and down to earth, states facts.
Brilliant to watch.
Excellent vid Matt. I have a soft spot for the Corsa - wife hadn’t driven for years and lost confidence. Her uncle was offered such a low trade in on his 1.4 auto Corsa he just gave it to my wife. That got her driving again but swore she’d never be able to drive a larger car. Her next car was a Discovery 300tdi.
More people love him than don't, genuinely a lovely chap who knows his trade....well done for achieving everything you have Mike....I love him👍
Really enjoyed this. Mike Brewer comes across as a genuine, sincere bloke. Can not understand these idiots who give him abuse on social media. Legend
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that Matt, absolutely brilliant episode. I met Mike at a car show a couple of years ago and he seemed like a really nice bloke to me.
Mike is such a great persona and he motivated a lot of people to start their own. I am a car dealer in Germany and Mike was and is to this day a huge inspiration. And don't let other peoples hate come to your mind. Its not worth it.
Met Mike some years ago, good chap and very knowledgeable. Ignore the rubbish on-line to the best of your ability.
Mike, you don't pay their bills. You pay them for services rendered. I get what you're saying but think about the language you use. It comes across bad.
This episode was Brilliant, two real people being open. Loved it.
I have to say you have hit the nail on the head. I can’t wait for more of this
Quality interaction between 2 great guys. Top jnterview Matt and I learned loads about Mike that I was totally unaware of.
Great to see you together, 'we must keep costs down' with 'I've massively overspent', love it
What a great interview. Mike came across so well. Keep up the good work, Matt.
Everybody is brave behind the keyboard. My advice for Mike is, only worry about what people say to your face..I guarantee most of the people who abuse you in the comments would love to meet you and shake your aaaand 🤝
wise words
Always a sign that you thoroughly enjoyed something is sitting here watching for nearly 45 mins and realising it didn't feel like nearly 45 mins. You could happily just sit there for another length of time enjoying two guys just talking. Well done to you both. Excellent stuff
Best thing with this episode is its just two normal men chatting about the job and world they love the most! Almost at 400k too, congratulations 🎉
I've always found Mike to be very open and generous with his time. Deserves his success - he clearly works very hard.
what a true gentleman Mike Brewer is and Matt too
This was great to have Mike tell his story, I met Mike at AutoAlex Shed Fest on his Birthday and I had a small chat with him, such a legend is mike and just as nice in person as you see on TV.
Brilliant interview of an iconic Dealer, many thanks for that Mat.
One thing though…will you promise to go for that drive in a Mk 1 Mini please?
I used to own a 1963 1071 Mini Cooper S but it eventually had to go after failing it’s first MOT just after they started being done. The Garage didn’t tap the Sill’s, they used large hammers and virtually destroyed the car! Amen.
If you don’t know Mikes story don’t just assume because of the situation with him and Ed. Mike was simply more ambitious 👋🏾
From watching a number of interviews with Mike and Ed it appears there were legitimate creative differences. At the time of his departure Ed believed that the show was providing less mechanical information and focusing more on entertainment, while Mike disputed this. Statistical comparisons of the show over the various seasons indicates that while there has been a slight movement toward more entertaining sequences, the actual reduction in mechanical time has been fairly minimal and the show has largely retained its original format. There's also the question of whether Ed was happy spending that much time in the US (where the show was filmed for a few seasons), however that is based more on speculation than any direct comments made by either Mike or Ed.
What’s with all the negative vibes? Everyone on UA-cam likes the sound of their own voice that’s what makes them so relaxed in front of the camera
Absolutely brilliant Matt, and all those still banging on about Ed, bloody he'll, change the record, Mike is doing amazing and keep it up, good luck to ye both lads
Great Video. Jealousy is a terrible thing. I wish you both nothing but good vibes, good health and happiness
