We decided to do a last minute trip to the Nurburgring in Germany in the Porsche Cayman S that ive just rebuilt. After ive sold the 992 Porsche GT3 to Tavarish ive been on the look out for another GT3. As so many crashes happen on the Nurburgring i thought it might be the perfect place to grab a bargain project car!

[@Franky.80]

As a former ring-driver i can tell you that lap was absolutely crazy. No matter if you have done 1000 laps on the sim. The real deal is different. Bumps, temperatures, traffic, oil, brakes, tires, etc. Many, many tiny things that could have end you up in the guardrails. Skill and a tiny bit of luck brought the porsche back in one piece. Well done. 😉

[@GT380man]

I’ve noticed a couple of times on tracks, Mat is actually a pretty quick driver. Not reckless or mad lad style quick. Anyone with nerve can do that. No, Mat has very quick reactions and crucially, he learns at high speed. I remember thinking that you don’t get to be as good at BMX as he evidently is (or was) without all those attributes: nerves, quick learning, high speed reflexes. With coaching, young Mr Armstrong would, I humbly guess, be quite competitive as a pilot. But we know all this, he’s a class act. What I particularly like is that Mat is never, ever arrogant and he remains of a positive, cheerful disposition at all times. Uncommon set of attributes. Nice one, Mat. I salute you 😊

[@mikepanek736]

Mat has become one of my favorite people on KZbin. I started watching him way before he even had a half a million followers and now he’s getting close to two million. Just a all around great guy that is living the dream.

[@dukezero5074]

Hi Mat, loved the video, but as a German I just had one huge ick.. What you did at 5:42 was incredibly dangerous. Never never ever stop on the shoulder for a non-emergency and especially walk around there unless your car absolutely does not move by itself anymore. The accidents stemming from distracted drivers and cars/people on the shoulder here are often some of the worst, so seeing you and your friends just walking around and talking there was unnerving to see. So please, don't do that in the future anymore. If your car does actually brake down, put on safety vests, put the emergency triangle a few hundred meters behind your car and ALWAYS! keep behind the railing.

Mat - all you need to do when booking on the tunnel is state you have a high vehicle above 1.85m and you go in the normal train but in the single decker section. As no stairs it is wider inside. I do this with my Maserati GrantTurismo to avoid damaging the alloys. Same price.

Loving the grinon matts face while on the track- well done- all your hard work gives you experiences like this.

[@timogutzeit981]

Hey Mat, awesome video. Aaaaand: well done on the Nürburgring! :-) As I own a 991.1 GT3 since last november, I can tell you, that the way you love Porsche will definitely increase, when you drive this one. It is by far the most perfect car I've ever driven. And I just love it. A model in good condition costs around 145-150k (depending on mileage, servcing etc.) here in Germany. So if the engine and the gearbox are okay, I would give it a try with around 70-80k. If not: don't go for it! And if you buy it, you have to bring it back here and do a rideout on the Nürburgring with you fans! ;-) Good luck. Timo

[@yellow73914]

My initial gut was also close, 65-75K. Re-watching it though, it would be a very risky bet without putting it on a lift first and checking the true extent of the damage. If the sellers aren't amenable to that, there's probably a reason for it and that would probably cap a "sensible" price at about 50K.

[@gardenguru461]

I love watching the rebuilds but seeing you actually use the cars is brilliant. Seeing the enjoyment you get on these road trips with these cars will inspire more to go harder at living their dreams

Gday Mat, The wrecked Porsche has potential but nothing frustrates me more in a deal than when the seller won’t give you a price. Wants you to make an offer! “Sorry mate, I can’t buy it and sell it!” Any chance of getting back there and having a better look on a lift at the underside damage? Great channel content. 👍👍🍻

[@blazbohinc4964]

The car is realistically worth 130-150, since it probably has rear structural damage. They’ll want 200k for it though. And at that point, it’s cheaper to buy a second hand one for 270-300.

I’ve been round the Ring a few times on 5 different visits in various cars and can honestly say it is one of my favourite places on the planet. The track is unbelievable and punishing for your car and body. I was sweating like a pig after coming off and the adrenaline rush was intense. Even the car parks there are a feast for the eyes and some great people from all over the world to chat to. I even had the pleasure of meeting Sabine Schmitz in the car park (RIP queen of the Ring). If you love cars like myself and your thinking about going, just do it, you won’t regret it. Walkie Talkie’s are a must for the journey if your going with a few mates and in my opinion Eindhoven is a good place to stop overnight on route. The coffee shops are worth a visit. 😜
