DRIVING 2000 MILES IN MY AUDI R8 I REBUILT

[@sumpplug4809]

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

[@18jamesj]

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.

[@mrhossein2296]

Your filming skills are on point 👌👌

[@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.

This is something brilliant ..... So glad I came across it on this video

Amazing! Thank you for showing off my beautiful country so well! You are an inspiration to everyone and for everything in life! Well done Matt keep smashing it every day!

"The 2020 award for best automotive KZbinr goes to.........Mat Armstrong!!" Cheers for the memories you gave us all mate this year, superb channel and brilliant entertainment. Best wishes to you and Hannah for an amazing 2021, continue living the dream guys!!

[@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. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@benodie02760]

Just seems like a good dude!

[@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😂

[@yafesitheric6510]

I just love your content. Just an ordinary lad with an ordinary girlfriend... there's no boasting, showing off,overtop stuff. Just an ordinary block and his lady. Just love it. Really hope you make an honest lady out of Hannah. She seems so down to earth and calm. Love her

[@Motivation_Alpha171]

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

[@robinoconnor1203]

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

[@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.

[@maxlandy7642]

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

[@sja9836]

Shallow water over white sand = turquoise water. Superb part of the world up there. Glad you all enjoyed the trip. Happy Christmas Mat and Hannah - Kevin too. I've loved, loved, loved your channel mate. You really are an inspiration. Roll on another year of this series, you're a class act. Peace Out.

[@michaelmartin9783]

Thanks for promoting and appreciating Scotland....the place I live and love, albeit my front splitter survived the the whole NC500:) Come back again in the summer!Daylight until nearly midnight and you can enjoy those beaches a bit more. Thanks again buddy, Keep up the motivation and inspiration.

[@unchained_lion2746]

New presenter of Top Gear in the making. Smashed it as always. Thanks for making 2020 that little bit more bearable. Truly looking forward to seeing your 2021 projects 🤜🏾

[@gavinowen4093]

Wow! What a video, what scenary and obviously what a car! Cinematics and editing are superb 👌. You deserve all the success that comes your way Mat. Here's to 2021 and the channel becoming even more successful!

[@michaelherrmann3423]

How good this video is.

[@turbomonkey93]

The effort you put into your videos are like no other youtubers

[@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.

[@lukedootson3454]

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

[@nisarzaman]

Lovely speech at the end, some of us just needed that nudge in the right direction.. thanks and god bless everyone.

[@Sdw77]

Watched with a heavy heart, Scotland was another life for me, was very sad to leave. Well done mat, Hannah and Kevin👍🏽

[@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

[@joshjack6127]

Jeeeeez, that actually gave me goosebumps..... some of that filming was like watching an old episode of Top Gear... mental.. congrats on your progress bro, happy Christmas and new year 💪

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Thanks josh! glad you enjoyed it!

[@MireSeVini]

One of your best videos to date. Been following since the S8 and your content keeps getting better & better. I hope you get to a million+ subscribers.

[@KyloNight]

What a good lad Mat is. I watch the vids randomly and I love the content, but I also think he is just a good human being.

[@thomaswilson1307]

The B Roll, the music and of course the car. All brilliant

[@rosslaing6733]

Thank you for coming to Scotland.Love your videos and your attitude to life. Keep on rollin’. Stay safe.

[@Kobain222]

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

[@leroykincaide]

What a moment for us all. Its been great following you on this journey. Thank you for just being awesome and for the inspiring words. Happy Xmas guys 💖

[@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!!

[@eSpRecreant]

me and 4 friends done the nc 500 camping in october in a 05 clio and it was still the best experience of my life. everyone needs to experience this in their life at some point

[@Grooverd007]

Thnx, both of you (and kevin).....i hope you have a great new year!!!

[@scottrobson3472]

Scotland is so underrated,.so stereotyped in films, it's one of my favourite places!!

[@amac9835]

Great channel and advert for the NC500, well done Matt, Hannah and of course Kevin. Car looks great btw, even with the roof box. Absolutely unique!

[@Gwynwills84]

Awesome Matt! 👍

[@uzizaman3151]

You're a top bloke Matt. Merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@karlgillespie5906]

Great to see a more personal side on the content. Top class as always!

[@Nikx450]

That ending got me right in the feels man, keep on keeping on Mat.

[@tombridgie]

Me and my wife did the nc500 from Gloucester in 2019 for our honey moon in a 1.8t MK4 golf, it's absolutely stunning up there and definitely stole a piece of my soul

[@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!

[@philtucker1224]

Mat: “just look at these roads, - there’s just no one about” ( that’s because think it might be illegal at the moment Mat! Ha ha!) beautiful mate, did it in the early eighties, need to back there god willing 🙏🎅🏼👍

[@andyhunt457]

Nope no need to worry this is classed as work thankfully for us viewers 😀

[@nigelbullock9039]

Mat. Your film making skills are remarkable and should be highlighted. You have come so far in a few months into where you are today. Huge congrats.

[@gward135]

Awesome video mate! It is so nice to see someone with a car like that to do a 'proper' trip about the UK somewhere, proper UK weather, UK roads, just generally enjoying what the UK has to offer rather than all glam and money abroad somewhere! Keep it up dude, awesome stuff. Looks like all 3 of you thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@TheSjd001]

More happy to see Kevin joining in the fun. Great video Mat.

[@paulgoulding9933]

Matt, I’m a Sheffield lad living in Australia and much older than you. To be honest I’d given up on your generation to some extent but you are so positive, inspiring and uplifting, I can’t stop watching your videos!! The wife is sick of you 🤣 You really are a legend and a great video editor. Keep up the great work, you’ll be a huge success and you’ve even got me thinking of wrapping my own car!! Top bloke!

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Alright for some ehh 😅 never been Australia. Thanks so much man really glad you enjoy the videos!!

[@colingroves335]

I have been on holiday to Sctland several times, im always blown away and in awe of its beautiful landscape everytime, great video.

[@garydavis3992]

Merry Christmas from New Zealand Mat. Taking Kevin along for the drive was awesome! If you ever get a chance to get to NZ ill gladly go on a road trip with you in my Audi S5.

[@C3aSaR]

absolutely brilliant video once again Mat. You should have done this in 2 parts !! I believe everyone will agree with me that we wanted to see some more of this trip. Hope you have an even better year !

[@1000sofusernames]

Mat should be on Top Gear instead of dire McGuiness. He's right about the moment. The 90s was peak driving for me but you never appreciate it at the time. Now I'd give anything to live it again.

[@danielderry9368]

Me a a few mates did the nc500 last august, would recomend it to anyone. Great views, amazing roads, a road trip to remember. Also doing it again in august 🤙🏻

[@ewanf7525]

Taking a low car on the NC500 is always fun. Took my 350z up there last year and google maps sent us over a mountain to get back to the main road. Barely made it back with everything underneath still attached! Good times

[@allstarcr8ter]

Hey Mat, I was born in wick and lived my first 10/11 years of my life in Bettyhill, watching this made me feel very nostalgic! Was epic! Thank you, stay safe mate

[@patrickortiz4981]

Rixx from the colonies. Dude, love your Audi and I wish I could have been the winner of it to drive these road of the US. You also inspired me. Thanks.

[@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.

[@neilinnes8852]

Matt I'm having a really tough time right now. But your words at the end gave me a little lift. Thank you

[@berk3674]

Really pleased for you and what you have achieved this year. All the best for 2021👊. Enjoying your channel!

[@sharonpettman1274]

We did the NC500 a couple of years ago now just truly amazing and Applecross is not for the faint hearted, most frightening road I have ever been on....merry Christmas and happy new year to you

[@markjohnson8352]

Just one of the best parts of the world. And some great music choices. Nice one ❤

[@davecrewe9074]

Big up to Hannah too done good filming there Done all those roads on my motorbikes ... now need do them in my TT

[@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!

[@jameshewitt7888]

Top lad Mat! Nice message and a bit of scenic culture too! Keep up the good work

[@paulc8821]

Beautiful video Mat with a nice positive meaning at the end

[@chrisclokey4840]

Amazing roads, my wife and I did that trip a few years ago and it remains one of our favourite road trips ever.

[@nigel100carter]

Great video. I did NC500 at end of last lockdown in my T5 with my spaniel Alfie. It was a amazing trip and such a beautiful place to visit. I know exactly why you enjoyed it and R8 looked good. 👍

[@indianscout4487]

As a 60 year old I find your videos very interesting. I wish you all the success in the future 😊

I'm a remote engineer but my company is based in Shepshed, and I'm from/live in scotland. I get to travel all over the UK with work and I may be biased, but scottish scenery is by far the nicest. Weather isn't always the greatest tho 😂😂
