Bob From The Machine Shop on Bugatti, Mat Armstrong & Hardest Challenges

Check out Tweak: https://www.tweakuk.com/He has one quote on his Instagram. "We do a bit of welding."But without that bit of welding, the entire automotive YouTube scene would grind to a halt.Bob from the Machine Shop is the man behind the fixes you never see coming. The Irishman who sold everything he owned, rode to England in the snow with £70 in his pocket, knocked on Mat Armstrong's door without knowing who he was, and ended up in Miami rebuilding a multi-million pound Bugatti Chiron — a car he openly admits he has no interest in.In this episode Bob sits down for the most in depth conversation he's ever had on camera. We get into how he really met Mat Armstrong, what it was actually like to work on the Bugatti with Matteo Rimac saying it couldn't be done in a workshop, the £38,000 tax debt he went public about, why he hates working on cars despite being the man every automotive YouTuber calls when things go wrong, and the thing he deals with every single morning that nobody talks about.This one is different.
