Mat, can you confirm that you didn't break any Covid regulations whilst filming this video? You do not strike me as the kind of person that would, but if you could clarify this for your subscribers it will put an end to the murmuring in the comments.Clearly you had accommodation booked so it all looks above board.
Hi Matt, I'm an old petrol head, but I really love your enthusiasm for your cars. I'm fae Glasgow, and having watched a few of your videos I'd say your a bit of a fanny. A lovable, likeable fanny, but still a fanny, and that's probably as close to a compliment you'll get fae me! I've done the Stelvio pass a few times and the NW500 reminds me of that plus it's is only three hours away from where I live. After watching your video it makes me more determined that I'll be looking to cross that of my bucket list very soon. Cheers, and all the best mate.
First TIME EVER I’ve watched a Mat vid on my 60” tv. Made even more epic by the opening shots. Each vid gets better as Mat gets better at shooting & editing.
I'd like to take a moment for Matt's poor girlfriend who had to get out the car how many times I dont know in rain wind and snow to video or help him drive. damn looks like someone will be getting a SVR for there birthday now
"The 2020 award for best automotive UA-camr goes to.........Mat Armstrong!!" Cheers for the memories you gave us all mate this year, superb channel and brilliant entertainment. Best wishes to you and Hannah for an amazing 2021, continue living the dream guys!!
This has made me feel so homesick. I am from Edinburgh and I have been stuck in Vietnam with my wife and baby since February due to Covid-19. My wife and I got married in January 2020 in Scotland and we did the North Coast 500 as our honeymoon. It was the most incredible experience with great roads, hotels, food and people. Thank you for the video. It has made me cry and bring me closer to home than I have felt in months. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Scotland has some of the best driving roads in the world! EVO went to the Scottish Borders to test and decide on their car of the year 2020 because of the quality driving roads!
Amazing! Thank you for showing off my beautiful country so well! You are an inspiration to everyone and for everything in life! Well done Matt keep smashing it every day!
Wow! What a video, what scenary and obviously what a car! Cinematics and editing are superb 👌. You deserve all the success that comes your way Mat. Here's to 2021 and the channel becoming even more successful!
Shallow water over white sand = turquoise water. Superb part of the world up there. Glad you all enjoyed the trip. Happy Christmas Mat and Hannah - Kevin too. I've loved, loved, loved your channel mate. You really are an inspiration. Roll on another year of this series, you're a class act. Peace Out.
I just love your content. Just an ordinary lad with an ordinary girlfriend... there's no boasting, showing off,overtop stuff. Just an ordinary block and his lady. Just love it. Really hope you make an honest lady out of Hannah. She seems so down to earth and calm. Love her
New presenter of Top Gear in the making. Smashed it as always. Thanks for making 2020 that little bit more bearable. Truly looking forward to seeing your 2021 projects 🤜🏾
Thanks for promoting and appreciating Scotland....the place I live and love, albeit my front splitter survived the the whole NC500:) Come back again in the summer!Daylight until nearly midnight and you can enjoy those beaches a bit more. Thanks again buddy, Keep up the motivation and inspiration.
Matt, you are the child in all of us, and we love you. You have made many a fantasy come true and in 2021 mine will also come true, inspired by you. May you, Hannah and Kevin has a great chirstmas break.
Merry Christmas from New Zealand Mat. Taking Kevin along for the drive was awesome! If you ever get a chance to get to NZ ill gladly go on a road trip with you in my Audi S5.
Having done a Scottish road trip last year, this video brought all those memories back! Your channel is brilliant, it’s been a great distraction from reality this year and I cannot wait for MA’21. Thanks for the content and thanks for reminding me of how much I miss Scotland!!
My partner and I hired a camper van and took on the north coast 500. It was amazing and the views were unreal. We also went the Bealach na Ba route. Doing it in a camper van was very nerve racking, with on coming traffic to navigate and the very real danger of slipping off the road as edges of the road blend in with the mountain. I get anxiety just thinking about it. It really is a crazy pass and not for the faint of heart. Defo for the car enthusiast. I would love to try it in a car! Great video Mat and the car looks amazing.
Jeeeeez, that actually gave me goosebumps..... some of that filming was like watching an old episode of Top Gear... mental.. congrats on your progress bro, happy Christmas and new year 💪
Another really enjoyable video start to finish. Gotta love these MA road trip excursions. That front splitter gave a closer shave than the Manscaped Lawnmower 3.0! Fantastic content start to finish with stunning scenery. Love the sentimental bit @ 13:06. Thank you!
Thanks for the inspiration! Wishing you all the best for next year! Keep on following your dreams! It's great to be able to follow you on the journey. Thanks for taking us with you!
We did the NC500 a couple of years ago now just truly amazing and Applecross is not for the faint hearted, most frightening road I have ever been on....merry Christmas and happy new year to you
Awesome video mate! It is so nice to see someone with a car like that to do a 'proper' trip about the UK somewhere, proper UK weather, UK roads, just generally enjoying what the UK has to offer rather than all glam and money abroad somewhere! Keep it up dude, awesome stuff. Looks like all 3 of you thoroughly enjoyed it!
Mat: “just look at these roads, - there’s just no one about” ( that’s because think it might be illegal at the moment Mat! Ha ha!) beautiful mate, did it in the early eighties, need to back there god willing 🙏🎅🏼👍
Great stuff, Mat! That Applecross road is great, especially without the summer traffic, motor homes etc. All the very best to you, Hannah and Kevin for 2021.
absolutely brilliant video once again Mat. You should have done this in 2 parts !! I believe everyone will agree with me that we wanted to see some more of this trip. Hope you have an even better year !
Like you say , what a journey for you and the R8, so glad i founf this channel . Top bloke , top content. Keep killing it, hope you had a great christmas ! and a great new year to you and Hannah too!
Great video. I did NC500 at end of last lockdown in my T5 with my spaniel Alfie. It was a amazing trip and such a beautiful place to visit. I know exactly why you enjoyed it and R8 looked good. 👍
This beast has come a long way. All thanks to you mate. I wish if I can take my R8 on road trips like this. As for yours, it’s definitely a keeper Mat!
Drove that road back in 1974 but went up the west coast then across the top and down to Inverness in a Bedford Dormabile 7 of us camping gear and all. Still a life highlight today almost 50 years later have a wonderful 2021 and by the way Kevin is the perfect name for Kevin
Hey Mat, I was born in wick and lived my first 10/11 years of my life in Bettyhill, watching this made me feel very nostalgic! Was epic! Thank you, stay safe mate
Merry Christmas Matt, Hannah & Kevin. Thankyou for a fantastic channel and the insight into your lives. I would love to do the North Coast 500 in my Mini Cooper S. I love watching your builds and in the new year when you rebuild Hannah's new car, can we also see a bit more of the Maserati? I adore that car. I wish you all the best for 2021.
I'm glad to you got to experience those roads in Scotland, I hope I can get back up there next year. Also, i really admire your positivity. Best wishes for the future.
Taking a low car on the NC500 is always fun. Took my 350z up there last year and google maps sent us over a mountain to get back to the main road. Barely made it back with everything underneath still attached! Good times
Matt dropping a video on Boxing Day is like getting a late Christmas present ❤️
Couldn't agree more hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Let's hope when 2020 gets to 2021 and starts drinking he's a happy drunk :)

@@memeGT150 mate do you honestly think he is that irresponsible 🙊 to post a video of him doing that.... Come on dude 😂 the geezer is a class act 👍
@@memeGT150 Can you confirm you're not a dick and you're post is a wind up?

came for the cars, stayed for the wholesome example of a what a great person is
Very well said
Huh
Couldn’t agree more 👌🏻
Definitely said it for all of us 👏👏
True 🔥
I'm definitely not your target demographic but your ambition to take on new projects with all the enthusiasm that you have is massively commendable.
Yes I’m converted too! Never thought I’d enjoy the vids as much as you I do!!
First TIME EVER I’ve watched a Mat vid on my 60” tv. Made even more epic by the opening shots. Each vid gets better as Mat gets better at shooting & editing.

Yeah but she got a q5 and is getting a c63 later. Tbf that’s enough
Daniel Janes never mind the wind and rain think of all them pubes she has to pick out the plug hole !
They both get paid for their “troubles”. Paid a shit load as well I would imagine.
Your filming skills are on point 👌👌

That final speech was absolutely wonderful, cheers for you mate, you rock
