The ongoing saga of the Austin 10 special 'Rat'. an update

[@jonathangriffin1120]

"Keep making cool 5hit out of old 5hit!" If ever a line needed to be on a T- shirt it's that one!

[@JimIrelandIrishJr]

Bravo, Brian!....Great choice of Matt as the next caretaker of the Rat......Matt's Rat

[@matthewmcevoy]

Hey everyone, I am shocked, humbled and amazed at how well my daft video has gone down. Thank you al so much for the kind comments. I am loving the car, I am working hard to push it on from the amazing job Bryan did creating it, to an even madder, faster, cooler rat. If you liked this story enough to want further updates, let me know and maybe I will start a little French Rat KZbin channel.

[@rustandoil]

Great stuff!.... Keep us posted on the ownership of Rat

[@thedoingnotthedone]

Yes!!!!

[@eradeklerk]

Why have you not a channel Matthew, or am I not looking in the right places. As you started the video I had to pause it, nip off to the fridge and collect a cold one as I knew this would be an epic video.

[@matthewmcevoy]

@@eradeklerk Bryan asked me to make this video because people were asking him what happened to the Rat. I agreed but it was only meant to be a one off. Due to people amazing reaction to this video I am going to start a channel and see where it takes me and the Rat. Give me a few weeks and we will be up and running.

[@theoriginalracingsnake]

@@matthewmcevoy There is another Matt building cool stuff. His channel? "Superfast Matt". Yours? "Supercool Rat"? Anyway, loved the story, the stuff of Legend. Thanks for sharing it.

What a fab' story! Thanks for the update. We all love the Buscrappy Rat.

[@andrewmcpoland9040]

Big smile on my face. What a memory to have!😁

[@EddieWhite]

What a top pair of blokes. Nice things happen to nice people.

[@dtrain1464]

What a great legacy for the little car that fooled them all in France,.. awesome.

[@matthewmcevoy]

It blew them away! We were inundated with people asking what model of Citroen it was.....

[@johndumarney1630]

Matt, brilliant story!

[@Ecosse57]

seriously cool car and a seriously cool new owner. wonderful story.

[@wizardfpv1928]

Absolutely brilliant, glad the Rat has gone to someone who is using and enjoying it, what a great first outing for it in France. Paul

[@darrenbeattie1298]

Truly what the old cars are for. They not only make driver happy, they make EVERYONE happy. Story of a lifetime. Props to the shiney guys taking you along. Thanks.

[@paulbeckwith5981]

Great ripping yarn!

[@Mr_Spegru]

Fantastic story. I honestly thought it was just us brits that like this stuff but it appears not! I still think 'The Rat' is he best name though

[@matthewmcevoy]

It will always be the Rat.....unless calling it BuScrappy gets us into places we shouldnt be allowed.....

[@elkoposo686]

ON-THEE-NAIL! Perfect chapter transference... It, Matt's story, is exactly what it, should be about... life and living it... with cool old shit under yer arse and carrying yer along, grinnin' like demons lost and high... Perfect...

[@TheCappedCruiser]

Heartwarming stuff. The Rat has found its perfect custodian. This whole story demonstrates the power of ingenuity, goodwill, humanity, shared passions, fun, and love in a world otherwise preoccupied with wars, conflict, and doom ... And yes, Rat updates from time to time, please: that little car is iconic now!

[@matthewmcevoy]

Fear not. I will keep the Rat fan club up to speed.

[@timcrow5162]

Legend. Speechless. So happy. 😊

If ever there was a right proper example of brilliance, this would be it. Looking forward to more adventures in France, or wherever le rat takes Matt!

[@besenzon1]

Love Matt ❤️ Great story teller. The Rat couldn’t have gone to a better person. What a life the Rat is going to lead. Whizzing around the south of France ❤️❤️❤️

[@yardleypen]

Such a wonderful creation - and its great quality is that it makes people smile.

[@biscuit202]

Looked like Ivan from shed racing in one of the clips. Love it when you spot other people you follow. Love this ratty shame it's no longer in the uk.

[@avap2677]

Funny , I saw Homer from South Park in the mirror at 3.00. Great update from the Rat.Thanks.

[@HowardAlison]

Forget Top Gear scripted stories; this is the funniest motoring tale I have ever heard. The rat is wonderful. Lucky man.

[@sayeager5559]

Amazing! The best car story Ive ever heard.

[@matthewmcevoy]

You aint heard nothing yet!

[@greytogray6070]

Loved this. Thank you for the wonderful escape!!!

bienvenue en France a l'Austin rat 👍

Merci Beaucoup.

Could NOT have picked a better fellow to get the Rat, or should I say “Le Bugscrappi.” What an amazing day they had.

[@robinlarge1630]

What a great story!... Brilliant... really fierce!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻....keep this fella updating us! 🫡

[@acooper4482]

Great story well told, pissed myself laughing brilliant 😂

[@colinsmith7233]

I was just smiling all the time.. epic adventure. What a fantastic story! Testament of how well the Rat was put together. Great job all around.

[@daleskidmore1685]

That was the funniest story I have heard for a long time!I suppose it shouldn't be too much of a surprise to see how you were treated by the Bugatti People, judging by Ivan Dutton's vids. Owning the Rat is going to introduce you to a whole new world, that is obvious from watching Bryan's vids: he has shown there is a community of fantastically obsessed car nuts that are just nice people. You are the Right owner, Matt. Happy trails...

[@matthewmcevoy]

Thanks Dave I am blow away by how well my daft video has gone down.

[@MaximumDogHerder]

Yep Brian, we need more Matt!

[@Abandon7d]

Brilliant. Welcome to the new worthy owner of the .. Buscrutti? Brian - it always was clear, but it is now official, you created a Legend and are now called Creattore. Go and please continue. Finish that Bugatti Service de Corse Commer, and the Leafatti. Brian for President!!!!! And Matt you are a Dude, looking fwd to more Waffles.

[@snadonine]

Matt a great choice for the new home of the rat what a fab story and the creation of lovely life memories. Keep us posted it's amazing how people are when you use old vehicles and the memories it creates ❤ Well done Keep on keeping on

[@markhoward814]

Absolutely brilliant

[@ridgeheadmilling7453]

Absolutely brilliant! What an awesome bit of news, look forward to hearing more of the Rats tales in the future...

[@boydsargeant7496]

Buscrappy fun! Thanks Matt, more please! Nice one Bry, thanks so much for this, made my Sunday breakfast! What a lovely story, a lucky story, but it seems Rat makes his own luck! I’m a big Bugatti fan, would have loved to be there. Well done to Matt! Laters dude.

Thank you Boyd, I am glad you enjoyed it. More to come.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

[@haydenw6585]

What a great story , the rat has infiltrated its way into the French car scene 😁

Can't beat a good blag. I recently talked my way into the driver's lounge on a ferry crossing, where they had a free buffet and free wine. Result.

[@shaunsheep8252]

What a nice chap, so happy him and his son had a great day together and what a lovely story. Well done Brian for choosing him, a perfect owner. And please keep the stories coming from him.

Well what a fantastic start for the rat, in France with all the people loving it, I bet Matt hasn't stopped smiling from ear to ear for weeks- well done Bryan you must be well pleased with this result geezer 👍

[@garypoulton7311]

I'd love to hear how you get it registered there... Bon chance! Lovely video, and great that Brian vetted.the buyers

[@matthewmcevoy]

Hey Gary, give me a yell sometime and I will fill you in on the details.

[@oliverclothier5677]

Loved that

[@MrSoppysod]

Well, I have absolutely no doubt that the Rat went to the right guy! What a magnificent story and well done Bryan for building such a fantastic little car! I watched the build from start to finish. I could watch Matt's stories all day! Stay kind!

[@matthewmcevoy]

Bless you, seeing how well this has gone down, I might need to make some more.

[@mossfoster5317]

What a brilliant story, you can find yourself falling into all sorts of crowds with classic cars and a bit of bravado.

[@larryg.9187]

What a great time you and your son had with your 'new car' ... A life time of retelling it, I'm sure ! Best regards !

[@mikebrackstone8120]

Bloody brilliant and I absolutely get it as I get the same reaction to my Pembleton.

[@michaelevason6570]

Brilliant! Proof if it was ever needed that you have created an absolute classic and definitely sold it to the right man! Please share more adventures.

[@tedayer1823]

Matt, please keep us informed. What a great day it must have been. Personally I think the Rat is cooler than other much more expensive cars, built from a vision and came out perfect.
