DREAM.BUILD.DRIVE from Matte Media on Vimeo.
Dream Build Drive is Matthew Cox’s quest to give you some insight into the journey that has been my life for the last 8 months, building the car presented many challenges, getting it over that mental finishing line by driving it the way I had designed it to be driven presented a whole raft of far more complex personal challenges that took both Matthew and I into the unknown.
Sit down, grab a drink and enjoy Dream Build Drive.

Karl Verhoef
Great Film!! A true inspiration, Loved watching the build photos and now to have seen this flick. Would love to see it ‘in the flesh’! Well done mate.
Nigel Petrie
Thanks Karl, Im keen to get it out and about so hopefully everyone gets a chance.
Karl Verhoef
I’m glad to hear you will be out and about in it! and Drifting it!! The one thing that has always frustrated me, is people that spend tens of thousands on ‘show cars’ and all they do is sit there to be viewed. I really loved watching (and going for rides) my mates in the grassroots drift scene back home in NZ. There really isn’t anything better than watching someone go through great highs and depressing lows. To then watch them have the time of their life on the track when it all works out. Even just one day every few months! Its elation and fun in one of it’s purest forms!

An absolute masterpiece of a film, the best car film I have ever seen, let alone drift film. I almost had a tear after the heartbreak of wtac and seeing Nigel so broken. Thank you so much for creating and sharing. Inspirational.
Nigel Petrie
Thanks Mitchell, I did too.

Such an articulate, creative, genuine and intelligent dude. I don’t care much for cars and I still watched it to the end. Many drivers, and enthusiasts should take a few lessons in humility from Nigel.
Nigel Petrie
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words.
AJ
Wow! Finishing that video felt like reading the last chapter of a really good book that took 3 years to read. I’m left with a feeling of great satisfaction and yet sense of loss. I want more. Nige’ you are the man. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Nigel Petrie
Thanks AJ im so happy you enjoyed it, ill endeavour to bring you more.

Thank you very much for the inspiration, Nigel!
This really helped me motivate to continue where my Honda Jazz left off after it was sold…
And thanks to you, I might also start buliding a drift tube-chassis of my own hahahaha…

Hey Nigel great build you have motivated me to finish my project …and that you can do anything you set your mind to. I really believe that also.
Tim
Best way to kill 54:31mins really enjoyable an a credit to you an your lux. Time to hit the shed n rethink my el xr8 build, this doco has my brain ticking.
Robin Juhansoo
I remember first seeing this at WTAC 2013, back then I hadn’t heard of you before or what you had created. I just remember seeing this amazing masterpiece, as I walked around it I was so gob smacked, all the little bits, the tube frame etc got me so amazed! I thought this was just your regular ‘stance’ car whatnot, but then I heard it gets sideways, man that is crazy. Shame I never got to take photos of it in action, really hope I get to do so next time you’re in Sydney. I hope you’re coming to WTAC this year!
Ray
Didn’t know much about you or your car prior to watching this clip but seriously! hats off man. I dont think I am alone in saying that I lost myself for 54mins re-living my “should’ves” through your story. Thanks for sharing the journey mate! awesome vid, spot on attitude and such a wicked ride. Cheers!
Arend
Wow, what an awesome journey. Glad to see it all worked out so well, Congrats Nigel and thanks for the motivational build! Truly One-of-a-Kind!
