My 2007 Audi R8 V8 has had a tough life. Ive fixed it and modified it and it was time to take it on its first roadtrip which would be over a 2000 mile round trip to Scotland.
The NC500 is Scotlands answer to the Route 500. Amazing mountainous roads twisting across the coast of Scotland, some roads are single track and without a petrol station or in-fact anything in sight for miles! I took my Audi R8 up to Scotland to tackle the roads but did it make it!?

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 :)
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.
@@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?
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.
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'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
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.
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!!
Your filming skills are on point 👌👌
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.
"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 is something brilliant ..... So glad I came across it on this video
God's country mate. I'm scottish n whenever we travel up north I fall more in love with the place. Looks, a great trip. ❤️🏴
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!
Those roads up there are really up my roads. Spot on. Love it. I need to go there one day. Maybe not with a R8😂
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!
The roads in Scotland are terrific, I am old enough to have driven them on numerous occasions, before speed cameras were invented.
The amount of work it takes to produce this content! Mad props to you sir!
Scotland is so underrated,.so stereotyped in films, it's one of my favourite places!!
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!
That final speech was absolutely wonderful, cheers for you mate, you rock
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.
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.
Such a genuine guy, so normal and down to earth. Wish you all the success. Keep aiming high Mat
Merry christmas all . some lovely filming Mat
merry Christmas everyone as well :)
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.
You're a top bloke Matt. Merry Christmas and a happy new year
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.
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!!
Just seems like a good dude!
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.
Made my Christmas, a once in a life time trip, such a nice down to earth guy, keep it up 😌
This is 100% a route for my 2021 bucket list. Probably going to do this in a 4x4.
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.
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 🤜🏾
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 🙏🎅🏼👍
Nope no need to worry this is classed as work thankfully for us viewers 😀
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
Merry Christmas 🎄Mat and Hanna and Kevin ! Thanks for your videos 👍💯💯💯
How good this video is.
Hope everyone had a festive day yesterday, brilliant video as always mate, feels like it’s a old video with the travel videos 🤩, visuals are so good too!!!
Amazing video! Brilliant message! Thank you Mat.
Thank you for coming to Scotland.Love your videos and your attitude to life.
Keep on rollin’.
Stay safe.
Loved this video, great filming, great guy, all the best for 2021 Mat.
I also did this route all the way from The Netherlands. I did it in my 2013 Renault Clio. Loved every single minut of it!
This video never gets old. Good job Mat
Great to see a more personal side on the content. Top class as always!
Thanks Matt, loved the road trip, superb cinematic’s along with great narrative👍
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!
Really pleased for you and what you have achieved this year. All the best for 2021👊. Enjoying your channel!
Rixx from the colonies. Dude, love your Audi and I wish I could have been the winner of it to drive these road of the US. You also inspired me. Thanks.
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!
😂😂the manscaped part. Got to love it and I think you should get a voice over gig. 👍👍loved it.
Bloody brilliant thanks for sharing your moment with us.... see you in 2021 😉
Lovely speech at the end, some of us just needed that nudge in the right direction.. thanks and god bless everyone.
Mat. Your film making skills are remarkable and should be highlighted. You have come so far in a few months into where you are today. Huge congrats.
You are awesome ❤️
Lmao Ovilex watching Mat armstrong?😂
e calumea baiatul💯
I play your games!!
I have played most games of yours
Legend!
Love you man. Your work z amazing. I can't stop watching your videos watching all the way from Zimbabwe
Great job mat, scotland is great, glad you enjoyed it. All the best for you, hannah and Kevin!
Very inspirational! Speaks volumes to me right now. Merry Christmas!!
P.a happy Christmas Mat & Hannah & Kevin ..thanks for all the enjoyable vids this crappy year we’ve all had. I’ve looked forward each week to the next instalment of your car adventures. Hope 2021 brings more new cars & more new mods.
A great metaphor for making progress in a difficult year, happy New Year Matt and thanks for helping me through 2020 with your videos.
As a 60 year old I find your videos very interesting.
I wish you all the success in the future 😊
Awesome Matt! 👍
Hands down best UA-camr atm, contents mint been watching for about 8 months and it just keeps getting better 🙌🏼 nice one Matt!
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.
Top lad Mat! Nice message and a bit of scenic culture too! Keep up the good work
Omg Matt what a stunning drive and the roads are to die for... The R8 looks sick...👍
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.
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 !
Amazing video Mat. Excellent footage!!!
Keep up the great work!!!!
You're a legend. I just love your positivity!. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Amazing roads, my wife and I did that trip a few years ago and it remains one of our favourite road trips ever.
Great Video and inspirational too ..... there’s much more to you than meets the eye !
Plenty more to see on the west coast besides the NC500....... You'll have to come back Matt in the summer. It's twice as good!
Love your videos Mat.. love how you transform these cars that have seen better days into beauties like the R8! Well done sir 👏
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!
Great Matt ... amazing ... looking forward to seeing the next upload .. safe trip home buddy 👍👍👍
Well done Matt. Been a great year. Looking forward to see what 2021 brings for the channel. All the best to you and Hannah. Stay positive bro.
Wow...What a trip...Nice one mat..Hope you had a great Christmas and i wish you all a happy new year with some good content on the horizon
Great road trip amazing scenery & to top it all done in the R8. Merry Christmas & a Happy new year.
Matt- you're going from strength to strength. Top lad!!
Great roads and beutiful scenery lucky enough yo travel the Highlands with work, fantastic video thanks for posting
pleasure to watch and fantastic journey from start to finish
Thnx, both of you (and kevin).....i hope you have a great new year!!!
That ending got me right in the feels man, keep on keeping on Mat.
Only stumbled across your vids about 3 hours ago. I'm supposed to be asleep now as working tonight. All I can say is wowww!!!! I'm subscribed now. Look forward to watching more. Need sleep now
Glad you enjoyed Scotland mate love the effort you put in to making your video the little speech at the end too in a tough time will touch so many people
Thank you both for sharing. Phenomenal video on those beautiful views. Happy Holidays to you both.
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
Omg the scenery is amazing ,top job matt
Great channel and advert for the NC500, well done Matt, Hannah and of course Kevin. Car looks great btw, even with the roof box. Absolutely unique!
Absolutely great video,👏👍
This is beautiful! Life goals. Well deserved mate. Keep it up 💯👌
Mat should be on Top Gear instead of dire McGuiness. He's right about the moment. The 90s was peak driving for me but you never appreciate it at the time. Now I'd give anything to live it again.
Dear Matt !! OUTSTANDING VLOG !! Merry Christmas To you & Ms HANANH !! GodBless
Just one of the best parts of the world. And some great music choices. Nice one ❤
Simply brilliant, thankyou 👍
Awesome video. Started watching you when you were working on the homes. Really are a great lad and better inspiration. Keep moving!!
Amazing video, was like a mini top gear special! Inspirational, keep it up!
What a guy, what a channel, absolute pleasure to watch! Keep them coming Mat, can’t wait to see the Liberty walk Maserati!
That looked fun. Epic drive.
Fantastic vid, my wife's from Helmsdale and I know the roads well. Respect!
Big up to Hannah too done good filming there
Done all those roads on my motorbikes ... now need do them in my TT
One for the bucket list. Superb!! Happy Christmas and here's to 2021!!
This video has motivated me to finally go ahead and do this drive! Hopefully in the new year, I've done parts before as I live in Inverness but I have never done the whole thing. Great video as always!
