DRIVING 2000 MILES IN MY AUDI R8 I REBUILT

My 2007 Audi R8 V8 has had a tough life. Ive fixed it and modified it and it was time to take it on its first roadtrip which would be over a 2000 mile round trip to Scotland.
The NC500 is Scotlands answer to the Route 500. Amazing mountainous roads twisting across the coast of Scotland, some roads are single track and without a petrol station or in-fact anything in sight for miles! I took my Audi R8 up to Scotland to tackle the roads but did it make it!?

Matt dropping a video on Boxing Day is like getting a late Christmas present ❤️

[@thatgeezeruk]

Couldn't agree more hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Let's hope when 2020 gets to 2021 and starts drinking he's a happy drunk :)

[@memeGT150]

Mat, can you confirm that you didn't break any Covid regulations whilst filming this video? You do not strike me as the kind of person that would, but if you could clarify this for your subscribers it will put an end to the murmuring in the comments.Clearly you had accommodation booked so it all looks above board.

[@thatgeezeruk]

@@memeGT150 mate do you honestly think he is that irresponsible 🙊 to post a video of him doing that.... Come on dude 😂 the geezer is a class act 👍

[@Pufferkusser]

@@memeGT150 Can you confirm you're not a dick and you're post is a wind up?

[@Pufferkusser]

Hi Matt, I'm an old petrol head, but I really love your enthusiasm for your cars. I'm fae Glasgow, and having watched a few of your videos I'd say your a bit of a fanny. A lovable, likeable fanny, but still a fanny, and that's probably as close to a compliment you'll get fae me! I've done the Stelvio pass a few times and the NW500 reminds me of that plus it's is only three hours away from where I live. After watching your video it makes me more determined that I'll be looking to cross that of my bucket list very soon. Cheers, and all the best mate.

[@kieran6092]

Very well said

[@meetleon9793]

Huh

Couldn’t agree more 👌🏻

[@ryanparkinson4412]

Definitely said it for all of us 👏👏

[@robbieproductions9504]

True 🔥

[@danieljanes8787]

I'd like to take a moment for Matt's poor girlfriend who had to get out the car how many times I dont know in rain wind and snow to video or help him drive. damn looks like someone will be getting a SVR for there birthday now

[@mohammedsoomro1297]

Yeah but she got a q5 and is getting a c63 later. Tbf that’s enough

[@talkfree4871]

Daniel Janes never mind the wind and rain think of all them pubes she has to pick out the plug hole !

[@nasa1985]

They both get paid for their “troubles”. Paid a shit load as well I would imagine.

[@paulroper4847]

I'm definitely not your target demographic but your ambition to take on new projects with all the enthusiasm that you have is massively commendable.

[@tomhurrell3420]

Yes I’m converted too! Never thought I’d enjoy the vids as much as you I do!!

[@KopCole]

First TIME EVER I’ve watched a Mat vid on my 60” tv. Made even more epic by the opening shots. Each vid gets better as Mat gets better at shooting & editing.

[@marcupton9705]

[@nicksilverstein7854]

Scotland has some of the best driving roads in the world! EVO went to the Scottish Borders to test and decide on their car of the year 2020 because of the quality driving roads!

[@ruinunes8251]

Those roads up there are really up my roads. Spot on. Love it. I need to go there one day. Maybe not with a R8😂

[@robinoconnor1203]

The roads in Scotland are terrific, I am old enough to have driven them on numerous occasions, before speed cameras were invented.

[@jamesbuchanan8633]

This has made me feel so homesick. I am from Edinburgh and I have been stuck in Vietnam with my wife and baby since February due to Covid-19. My wife and I got married in January 2020 in Scotland and we did the North Coast 500 as our honeymoon. It was the most incredible experience with great roads, hotels, food and people. Thank you for the video. It has made me cry and bring me closer to home than I have felt in months. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@craigcunningham47]

God's country mate. I'm scottish n whenever we travel up north I fall more in love with the place. Looks, a great trip. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@MrNwapp]

Great stuff, Mat! That Applecross road is great, especially without the summer traffic, motor homes etc. All the very best to you, Hannah and Kevin for 2021.

[@Motivation_Alpha171]

That final speech was absolutely wonderful, cheers for you mate, you rock

[@maxlandy7642]

Such a genuine guy, so normal and down to earth. Wish you all the success. Keep aiming high Mat

[@thecruisewatcher]

Made my Christmas, a once in a life time trip, such a nice down to earth guy, keep it up 😌

[@michaelherrmann3423]

How good this video is.

[@davewatts7444]

Drove that road back in 1974 but went up the west coast then across the top and down to Inverness in a Bedford Dormabile 7 of us camping gear and all. Still a life highlight today almost 50 years later have a wonderful 2021 and by the way Kevin is the perfect name for Kevin

[@henryintheuk]

Matt, you are the child in all of us, and we love you. You have made many a fantasy come true and in 2021 mine will also come true, inspired by you. May you, Hannah and Kevin has a great chirstmas break.

[@romeomashile8367]

[@MrSudanPresident]

This is 100% a route for my 2021 bucket list. Probably going to do this in a 4x4.

[@KopCole]

P.a happy Christmas Mat & Hannah & Kevin ..thanks for all the enjoyable vids this crappy year we’ve all had. I’ve looked forward each week to the next instalment of your car adventures. Hope 2021 brings more new cars & more new mods.

[@dickie35]

Keep up the good work Matt. Been subscribed since the TT days. and it’s been all good so far. Lovin it. Keep it up 👍🏼

[@donovan22]

I also did this route all the way from The Netherlands. I did it in my 2013 Renault Clio. Loved every single minut of it!

[@silversurfer1010]

My partner and I hired a camper van and took on the north coast 500. It was amazing and the views were unreal. We also went the Bealach na Ba route. Doing it in a camper van was very nerve racking, with on coming traffic to navigate and the very real danger of slipping off the road as edges of the road blend in with the mountain. I get anxiety just thinking about it. It really is a crazy pass and not for the faint of heart. Defo for the car enthusiast. I would love to try it in a car! Great video Mat and the car looks amazing.

[@patryk-eb4rd]

Awesome video. Started watching you when you were working on the homes. Really are a great lad and better inspiration. Keep moving!!

[@lukedootson3454]

Hands down best KZbinr atm, contents mint been watching for about 8 months and it just keeps getting better 🙌🏼 nice one Matt!

[@MainSpaceGIGS]

Having done a Scottish road trip last year, this video brought all those memories back! Your channel is brilliant, it’s been a great distraction from reality this year and I cannot wait for MA’21. Thanks for the content and thanks for reminding me of how much I miss Scotland!!

[@aidenmentor]

Amazing video Mat. Excellent footage!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@1881Gordon]

Another really enjoyable video start to finish. Gotta love these MA road trip excursions. That front splitter gave a closer shave than the Manscaped Lawnmower 3.0! Fantastic content start to finish with stunning scenery. Love the sentimental bit @ 13:06. Thank you!

[@Ultrawong100]

Plenty more to see on the west coast besides the NC500....... You'll have to come back Matt in the summer. It's twice as good!

[@scottbroughton1906]

Wow...What a trip...Nice one mat..Hope you had a great Christmas and i wish you all a happy new year with some good content on the horizon
