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!

[@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.

[@darrenbeattie1298]

[@MaximumDogHerder]

Yep Brian, we need more Matt!

[@richardbroom4324]

Brilliant story. Loved it😂

[@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.....

[@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.....

[@carlhutchins7091]

Brilliant ! Your now international, love the show and this was a great story, bring it on !

[@davidsamways]

What a brilliant story!

[@AntonHoward-mx9sb]

Excellent story! I used to knock about with the aero engined guys from the Vintage sports car club and they're all nutters.

[@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.

[@RobJoandthedudo]

Absolutely bloody excelent,

[@ridgeheadmilling7453]

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

Amazing! The best car story Ive ever heard.

You aint heard nothing yet!

[@ruongluesteve]

Brilliant, what an adventure and how proud you must be Brian. Keep on doing what you do, you're one of the most real people on KZbin.

[@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.

[@andball7369]

Awesome well done

[@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.

[@sandrapoyner1353]

I just loved the ongoing tail of the Rat . Keep us up-to-date 👍👍👍👍🦘🇦🇺🤠

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.

[@danielwilson6401]

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!

[@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.

[@Shiryas]

Matt, you are the perfect steward for the Rat. Grateful you had a memorable first outing with your son.

Great video, glad to see the Rat's gone to a good home 👍

[@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!

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

[@paulbeckwith5981]

Great ripping yarn!

[@randall1959]

You found it a good home.

[@Mopar46]

And that's the way it should be! Shows you don't have to be a squillioneer to have a shitload of fun. Good on ya, mate! Cheers from OZ.

[@H1WEX]

I can see why you chose Matt for the Ratt. What a brilliant story, everyone loves a blagger! More updates please - although he’ll find it hard to better that day!

[@mikebrackstone8120]

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

[@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

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

[@robinlarge1630]

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

[@mynature110]

Absolutely brilliant, a story to eat out on for years to come. Be nice to get the occasional update in the future, I so would have liked to have been in a position to try and buy that car. It just looks so 'right'.

[@caspar0777]

Haha, what a nice story, glad to see the Rat is sold to the right guy! Cheers mate 👍

[@mgermca]

Brilliant Bryan, Matt and Ben! Onwards and upwards!

[@aka_Darkspeed]

Utterly brilliant - what story and such incredible memories to have

[@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.

[@garrickmartin7707]

That was tres coolio Brian. That guy was good value and what a great tribute to the Rat and you. Best day he's had with his son. A lot of us know what that means. Cheers.

[@robbell4339]

Almost in tears laughing - brilliant story and hope the adventures continue Matt! 👍

Thanks Rob, glad you enjoyed it.

[@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.

[@matthewmcevoy]

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

[@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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@cogboy302]

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.

[@shedbythetracks]

What an awesome story! A guy worries about what will happen to a creation that he's invested his soul in if he lets it go. You made the perfect choice. Cheers from the shed

[@simonmorris2416]

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 👍

[@lotus7even]

Great video and great story superb

[@barryandjenny1]

Now that's a bloody good story, and a great entertaining vid.
