Honestly mate - your videos are on another level these days. Can't believe how far you've come. You are an inspiration and deserve everything you get. Oh, and a video with Evil GT would be the icing on the cake!

[@greggriffiths909]

100% agree with this, the videos just get better and better unlike Mats luck on the roulette table, great content!

[@danielsafarik6378]

Agree ☺️💯

[@enwezornzegwu2494]

Incredibly professional video - have no idea how you do it without a film crew!

[@palpal1968]

❤

[@jamesreynolds4220]

Inspirational . . . Speechless . . . Brilliant . . . says it all, thanks!

[@dominicesau6939]

I still don't understand how this channel has not passed the million subs yet. This is pretty much the best content you'll find on KZbin if you're a car guy or girl 🔥

[@ritchiedee6210]

yeah I just realized that even though I am addicted to these videos lately, I wasnt even subbed yet, so thanks for the reminder. I am picky about subs but this definitely deserves one, this video is top notch. this is some AMC royal plaza shit right here.

[@visualbree]

We made it

[@dominicesau6939]

@Visualbree yeah boooi 🫡

[@linus9247]

Quick reminder that this Channel passed 1 and 2 million subs within 1.5yrs this comment is old

[@bmerfan]

Speechless... This is what Top Gear should be like, this episode was just magical, thank you for all your effort in making such an epic episode. Well done team!

[@BigCar2_]

Hello have you been listed on my new inventory?‬

[@bmerfan]

@@BigCar2_ no idea mate... Don't think so.

[@davolyncho5992]

Top gear literally did just this, they even copied some of the scenes and lines. Not giving out, just saying.

[@bluelightconsultancy]

❤

[@r.a.m3255]

That road was made famous by the old top grear crew great video brother 🙏

[@jameschilvers6793]

I could not finish the video to say this is what car rebuilds are about. You've topped top gear mate. So humble so natural it bought me to tears. Matt Armstrong you're living alot of people's dreams. INSPIRED

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

Wow, thank you!

[@vis7vires]

@@MatArmstrongbmx Mat really does a great job and it's a pleasure to watch his channel. At 7:04 there is a part that I really hate because he used a terrible tragedy as an intro for his sponsors. Very disgusting!!! He should have made a better effort to find out what happened in this place and that it was not just about "how the Germans invaded that village" but about a revenge campaign where ALL the civilians, including children and the elderly, were killed in revenge for the activities of the French resistance movement. Totally ignorant of Mat and his team that he used the said event for his own profit! Very very stupid and insensitive!!!

[@karim6679]

I honestly dont think people understand the levels this guy is setting the videos and edits are absolutely insane!!! People see him driving to different countries and having a blast but forget how much he goes through to give us these sick edits and content and manage to get his builds done + do his day to day life stuff thats not car related!! Big up yourself mate iv been here since the audi TT and the difference since then is absolutely mind blowing. We need a show or a Netflix series!

[@therealtaev1ous]

Mat is easily one of the best car channels on KZbin, videos like this put him on a different level

[@andywoolford3996]

Just binge watched the entire series of the Aston Martin 2019 Vantage. This final episode was just epic. You are a real inspiration Mat. Congratulations!!! 🎉

[@thomasdetreiniscool]

me to!! it's great!!

[@JOHNJCLARK]

I think it's his best build

[@Delboy-jb2ss]

I am not one for picking up on the quality of video editing skills but watching this I felt like I was watching tv show or equivalent. It is one thing to rebuild supercars to the level you do with no experience, producing content on this quality with no experience before youtube is another but them together is just mind boggling. So positive and motivational, well done 👏👏👏👏

[@naufalcader820]

The editing and cinematics in this video is absolutely top tier 😍👌 Well done Mat, well deserved 💪🏽

[@multislipful]

You always look like you’re having a blast - even in the difficult bits. Videos are getting great, we get to learn with you and your enthusiasm for it all is so infectious. No pass too twisty no rebuild too challenging. Thanks for that trip.

[@wespress0]

I just binged your entire build journey and I’m so happy for you to be enjoying the fruits of your labor on this road trip

[@finnsacker8867]

Love the Top Gear reincarnation at Stelvio Pass. Brilliant mate.

[@BigCar2_]

Hello have you been listed on my new Inventory?‬

[@iamwheeler]

I personally believe that you transmit so much positive energy mate. You make these things look so easy, even when these road trips sometimes turn sideways. You simply do magic on the cars you repair and I would too feel confident in driving one of your cars throughout Europe. Simply, Bravo!

[@martinhewit5786]

I am in shock in how good the camera content is…. Thought I was watching a TV series….. just shows what you can do with hard work and dedication! Much love 👍🏻💪🏻

[@csmithy3057]

@Martin Hewit Hi am Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends if that's okay with you

[@davidwarburton5768]

What an inspiration you are, I used to own my own small body shop which was a family run business that me and my family built together, me and my dad used to work all hours, life events hard times made us have to give it up and made me fall out out of love with cars. Watching your programs has re ignited something that has not been there for years.. keep up the good work and keep these videos coming. Brilliant.

[@_poito]

Well, I live near Stelvio pass and it's a road i always drived in for fun since i had a motorbike, hope you liked it, and the bar you stopped at minute 23:30 in the video got built by my grandfather and now my uncle is running it, hope you got some unforgettable moments on our mountains. And good luck with your videos

[@PTFolderTraining]

I honestly don't know how many people are involved in this production, but it's not far from old top gear channels. Simply amazing

[@ArturGrigio]

What an amazing video! I’ve seen so many people try to recreate the magic of Top Gear. But watching it be done by someone who truly loves cars… is amazing! I have so much respect for your experience that I’m not even jealous, I’m simply in awe! ❤

[@stevebaxendale302]

I don’t have words to describe how unbelievably fantastic, wonderful, magical and capturing that video was. You are truly amazing Matt. The way you have put the video together is very proud moment for you mate. Excellent !!!!!

[@drekkerdyt]

I watched the first of this series on the Vantage after stumbling across it randomly and was so engrossed had to watch the entire thing in 1 sitting. Each episode was filled with 'well now I gotta know what happens next!' suspense but what I was NOT AT ALL prepared for was this particular episode. A professional documentary film team with millions in budget could not better convey the raw emotion expressed in this 28 min clip...I was nearly moved to tears. I doubt Mat has time to review all these comments as time goes by but in reading more about him and confirmed after watching this series, the one simple quality that makes the emotional punch of this episode possible is his humility. He's just a hard-working, GOOD person (with holes in his ears!). Well done sir, well done.

[@dansaleem2582]

Bro, it’s so amazing seeing you enjoy this beast of a car after all the hard work, time and effort you’ve put into rebuilding it. There‘a no joy greater than being able to drive unforgettable unique roads with a car you feel so connected to. The Aston on Stelvio Pass…goosebumps 🙏🏽

[@SamHay-jx5nr]

I can’t wait to see Jack. One day driving super cars his content is so good and he deserves it

[@abbasallyvirani2793]

I got goosebumps watching this video! This isn’t KZbin worthy! It’s Netflix worthy man! Love the vids

[@CalmingAnxiety]

Mat, you'll never know how much I needed this today. Your endless positive attitude and just the joy your have in everything you do is awesome . Thanks 🙏

[@nvyseal4u]

Matt, Thank you for such an exciting channel. Your photography is way above what I normally see on you tube. The story telling is excellent and keeps me engaged even if there is a ad interrupting. The scenery is awesome. Everything is way beyond expectation. I really enjoy watching your videos and wish you much success with your channel. I will be here watching you grow. Thank you for all the hard work and excellent editing.

[@stefansstuff2290]

Mat, you are killing it! Your videography is becoming next level, on par with massive tv shows, if not better! Absolutely amazing episode, well done and good that you had no issues with the cars. Awesome!!!

[@kevintownsend3840]

Man you got love here in the USA, please keep doing these videos some of us are learning more useful skills from you than we acquired at university. Thanks USA 🇺🇸

[@CuPekils]

Jesus christ matt this is almost a documentary, so well put together! You deserve all fortune that's come to you

[@elasticsoldier0257]

Massive credit where it is due mate ,, as a subscriber I may give you a bit of negative at times on a few of your mod choices 😉but along with negatives has too come positives and this vid was a massive positive,, hats off to you and Hannah for producing such a class vlog. Nothing like this has been given us since the clarkson/May/ Hammond days. Again fair play guys.

[@MrOtbc]

Matt-I honestly have no words. Just pure joy watching this. You said in the video that it was the cars that got you there, but actually it was never the cars. It was you that got you where you are and it started 3 years ago with your TT. Matt your an absolute Leg living the dream on the edge! 👏👏👏👏

[@mc4130]

Excellent. No other words. And I love the fact you really don’t forget where you were just a short 3 yrs ago, and how grateful you are. Makes for a lovely, heartfelt video! Well done.

[@noelfitz7695]

Hey Mat. Its great to see your enthusiasm and spirit. For the last 7 years I have been coming and going between differant jobs. But its only lately I have found its best to take the ups and downs and do what I want to do. And be able to sit with onself even on the quiet days. Thanks guys.

[@markopolo9559]

To be fair, that Micra is probably the best sounding Micra out there. Great video Mat and Hannah, can't beat a good old road trip and so nicely filmed.

[@j240x7]

I was honestly very surprised. What do you reckon’s been done to it?

[@davidgreen3444]

That was unbelievably entertaining, honestly top gear level. That’s only maybe the third video of yours i’ve watched and i’m blown away tbh. Absolutely subscribed & i can’t wait to be a viewer of your channel. Your joy at the end almost brought me to tears, wow. Thank you

[@armoredsaint007]

You're one of the best storytellers, I found out about you on the BMW forums on your M5 rebuild!

[@TomKelly2]

I've recently found this channel, and this is the third playlist of yours I've watched so far. Outstanding, absolutely brilliant watching you bring these cars back to life. This is my favourite one so far, you've done one amazing job here. Good effort, mate. Keep it up!

[@warrenlewis7726]

You have set the bar high with this one Matt. Absolutely epic footage and film making top gear would be proud of. ❤️💙🖤

[@timc3600]

I really enjoyed that. You are so down to earth and dare I say it, living the dream. Nice cars, Hannah and a great job - but not necessarily in that order. Don't stop. Keep going !!!

[@loetabs4295]

thanks for sharing Mat!!I really enjoyed watching all your videos, not only the cars but also the places that you have visited . you inspire a lot of people to hold on and follow our dreams and that means a lot!! Thanks

[@WrenchS13]

thanks for bringing back some really good memories. I lived in Italy for 3 years and we traveled all over Europe. I've been to every location you filmed in this video and no.... most small towns in Italy are not car friendly with their tiny roads. I'm an American and the best I could do when I lived there was the 1996 Mitsubishi Galant that shipped over with me but that little car would scream down the autostrada, cruising at 140mph. we made the crossing from San Marino on the Adriatic side to Pisa in 3 hours. Stelvio Pass was one of my go-to places to ride my bike. The views and the history in Italy were stunning to witness. as I said... thanks for the trip down memory lane. great video

[@carlosdeno]

Absolutely brilliant Mat, looking forward to the videos when you’re back in the unit! ✌️

[@JamiesGarage1]

What a badass road trip! Loving your videos dude! Keep it up 🤘

[@alanroosewelttopangriao4586]

Man, I'm speechless. Just found your channel a few days ago and I've been watching a lot of your videos. Riding in Stelvio Pass is one of my life dreams! I'm a Brazilian and still live in Brazil. Did some road trips with a 250cc motorcycle driving in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile. We have some awesome roads like this here too, so you might come and check! But road trips are all about creating lifetime memories, friends and enjoying it as best as you can!

[@connordouglas2858]

This is easily the best car channel on KZbin. Been watching from the start, back when LLF and officially gassed were at the top.. it’s inspirational to see how far you’ve come.

[@noXelon]

One of the best on youtube for me, love you content and the feel good vibes! Well done Mat, videography are killer :) Keep up the good work! Much love from Norway

[@dannyrobinson3480]

The quality of the content just keeps getting better and it looks like you're living the dream making it, enjoy the journey pal you should be very proud of yourself ❤

[@Cybertruck1000]

Not sure why these came up on my feed but binge watched four of 'em. Great work with sorting the cars. Great presentation , production/editing etc. Who needs BBC/ITV etc.?

[@madswh]

I just saw you dropped the complete series in a single movie and thought, no way I am watching a 3½ hour long video, Ill just check out the first couple of videos. And now I just binge watched the entire series 😅 Amazing work, and super entertaining!

[@chrisc5699]

This was amazing, loved the shots over Stelvio pass. Ridiculously good content.

I've been slacking on watching Matt's videos and haven't watched one in a long time. The difference in quality is outstanding. No longer watching a guy on KZbin, it's now a proper TV episode! Hats off to you on all the hard work. The first 35 seconds captures you straight away. You've taken the story telling to the next level!

[@evisresortatnggatiranaisla1673]

Incredible production quality and filming! Mat's commentary always has a real feel-good factor. Well done guys!

I can see a TV show coming. And I would watch it week in week out. Amazing channel amazing content, so we'll deserved. Good for you Mat.

i would love to take a car such as an aston and go on trip like this its absolutely amazing

[@anthonybrand6137]

Congratulations Mat, that's a great looking car. So happy to see you finally enjoying the fruits of all your hard labour over the last few months......you deserve it! I also really appreciate the top rate cinematography/camera work on this video....the scenery (and the car) is stunning👍🔥👍

Absolutely brilliant, the drone footage was excellent. Looks like you had a fantastic time, really enjoyed your adventure. Good luck to you both.

[@enigma.b9]

When you think you're watching the grand tour and then realize it's Matt! Awesome video man!

[@mgkeoh]

That was quiet honestly one of the best videos, I’ve watched. And it’s perked up my interest on Aston Martins. They really are awesome cars to take on the roads like that. Of course all you guys are good drivers too.

[@dannyboy_dannyboy8274]

Mat @ 18:50, I’ve never seen a roulette ball jump out from one number to another. It was in red, red & then black mate! €1,000 is light work for you. That’s a kin’ lot of dough to whack on roulette my guy, love it!!!!!!

[@SturdyVisualz]

this video is a testament on how far you have come, well done mat looking forward to whats next!

[@revampingautos]

Matt, your videos are awsome and such high energy, I can literally feel the energy just watching this, top notch as always!! Love it, Keep them coming bud,

[@revampingautos]

Sorry guys that was ment to say mate and not matt, haha watching this waiting for delivery's to come in, that's timing to a tee, haha

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Amazing video. Great vlog. Stelvio pass could have been its own vlog. Happy to see you followed the Top Gear rules and left a broken down mate behind🤣🤣🤣Monaco segments were hilarious. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work. 👍👍

[@matthewrees4449]

Brilliant video. I can’t imagine the immense time and effort that goes into creating this stuff and stitching it all together. Pure entertainment where the viewer feels so invested because the journey started with a smashed up Aston.

[@Tantrix1]

Absolutely amazing, felt like an episode of your own show! I would love to see more stuff like this!

[@danlightbody5786]

What a trip & what a journey indeed Mat! That Aston is by far the best car you've done, do yourself a favour & please keep it! 😀 Amazing video too dude, your content just gets better & better. Look forward to what else you have in store

[@AustinPeacock_]

By far the greatest car video/journey I have ever ever seen. I must be living under a rock for not seeing this sooner

[@Lee_Hall]

What another awesome job and good on Aston Martin for helping you. Although I think they need to look at their pricing and stop trying to selling complete parts like the steering rack instead of a outer tie rod end. Initially I wasn't sure about the colour choice and mods given the classy nature of the car, but the end result was pretty sweet. I loved the road trip. Fantastic content. 👏👏👏👏 Keep up the great work

[@timothybaloyi2510]

Man you're living the dream and you have yourself to thank for that! Fruits of your labour 😭🙏🏽❤

[@WineShaman]

Visits village where 643 civilians were massacred by the SS in a single day, somehow works it into a Car Vertical ad 😬

[@berkanish]

I’m sure it was his intention to do that🤨

[@ianrivaldosmith]

The only videos I watch in full on KZbin. This one brings back memories of when I used to do euro road trips… I’ll have to take another!

[@robertmunafo5039]

Loved this video! The content, cars and effort putting it all together. But most of all what it represents, you relentlessly perusing your dream. As you said, taking a risk 3 years ago brought you to this point right here. Well done!!

[@mbfordnutgarage3703]

Watched the whole Aston rebuild from start to finish tonight and this final video was an amazing way to sign it off.. Top work and well edited.

[@grundyb]

Thanks for the video showing me that area. My uncle had lived in Monaco and it was so neat seeing it like that. Monaco is one of my favorite race tracks on the streets because I would watch it on TV here in America. 🏁🇺🇸❤️🥂

[@johannesweltfried1534]

how cool to see that you passed over the Stelvio pass, I recreated the external part of one of the tunnels to prevent it from collapsing and fabulous cars passed by, I could hear them whizzing by with their roar

This has been an amazing rebuild and what a way to finish the story. You’re videos are so good now, it’s an inspiration 👍🏻

[@spiritlevel7353]

Inspirational. For a young Man, so much enthusiasm, very clever with repairs... , I T, and what a splash revels at taking that big gamble with very high end vehicles, and piecing them back to life. What an outstanding motivating trail blazer, Can't find appropriate words to cover the whole ethos of what your about. So just a big Massive stupendous make plenty of noise.. WOW !!!

[@NickB_Yorkshire]

Brilliant video from start to finish Mat. Been watching the rebuild of the car with great interest. Some great driving roads there. Would love to drive the Stelvio Pass. We’ve done both Cap Formentor and Sa Calobra on Mallorca a couple of times which are a bit like the Stelvio but on a much smaller scale. Great fun, apart from tourists getting in the way!! Gutted that you didn’t get your money back in the casino. Really thought that had bounced into red at first. Keep up the great work 👍🏼😁

[@handemhan]

You are literally living your best life and I'm very happy for you! Another great video

[@keithshayle123]

I genuinely felt your pain at the Casino! And I felt your nerves along those narrow roads! A video to rival anything from mainstream TV, congratulations!!!

[@MrAlistair_]

Epic in every way. Fantastic story, camera work, edit and soundtrack. Great job!

[@or123and]

Did the Stelvio tour with several Performance Teslas a couple of years ago, i too enjoyed it very much. Thumbs up, buddy!

[@jeffkhh0]

After seeing the Aston martin rebuild and see it go on a road trip, it's like seeing a child grow. Hope to have a road trip video for the cars you rebuild it makes it feel like a whole series . Love the video keep up the great job.

Above Monaco, Southern French Alps, are some best driving roads, many famous passes and valleys. Great channel, congrats!
