    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.

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
