    I rebuilt my cheap Bentley Continental GT and it was time to drive over 1000 miles to Monaco in the south of France to join with hundreds of other supercars. Let see if any one suspects how cheap my Bentley was 😂

    Followed this series all the way through and it’s been amazing, but nothing prepares me for the production value of this video 😍 Definitely one of my favourite car channels alongside car throttle and carwow, yet being ran by one guy! Props to you Mat!!

      I follow Carwow, Car throttle, LLF and CCD. All great in their own right, but there's something 'missing' from their channel that Mat and Hannah have got. i think its the down-to-earth honesty and positive vibes. Hands down the best for me.

      Yes right. I see it too. Comparing 1 year ago with the TT the video's were amazing but they were fun and enjoyable homevideos on how to mod or repair. Now it got pieces of acting, cinematic parts, Drone flights, and enough sponsers and the way he does them its just great. He really improved a lot, good to see that

The first of your videos I watched, the one about Aston Martin impressed me a lot. Of course, I watched all your videos after that. I want to thank you for your work. You are an inspiration of how a person who has dreams and is not afraid to follow them achieves everything he strives for. Кeep it up, man! You have definitely been one of the best channels for car repair I've ever seen! 🙂

    Fantastic. I did this journey - with the boys - back in 1979 in my old (1972) Mk1 Escort 1300XL. Bust a piston skirt on the way back, causing overheating, but amazingly no terminal breakdown. Help from fellow motorists at various laybys (water, tools, tips etc) was fantastic. Happy memories.

Since then your channel exploded and grew more and more. To see you now, driving a Bentley and to see how you have been improved from your homevideo tutorials on how to mod a car to see how you now make video's with loads of sponsers, cinimatic pieces and bits of acting, you've grown so much and I'm really happy to see that, keep up the good work. And just realize, 1 year ago you were so happy and stoked to drive your old TT hahahah. Keep up the good work mate, I and many others really enjoy your video's and improvements!!

    Hey Mat, I recently found this channel and have not been disappointed one bit. I really love the way you made this car in your own style. I feel inspired to do the same. Keep up the great work you're doing and I am a subscriber for Life. Cheers mate.!
