Officer: sir roll down your window. Mat: hold on, i need to update my door firmware

Best mechanic in a video yet. Top man can tell he knows his stuff.

McLarens…. Stigs…. Can’t believe how massive your channel is now. You’ve come a long way Mat, well done and well deserved

When the McClaren tech says “ I’ve been following your videos” you just know your in a good place 👍

The Stig, aka Ben Collins, is such a legend. What a moment for you Mat. Props to him for giving it the full beans!

Fair play to Mclaren for letting you into their workshops and allowing filming, not to mention the very professional tech - cost an arm and a leg mind but not being able to DIY on software is their key to retaining business 😮

So glad you were nice to the stig about comin off an he looked gutted i know in the past he came off on top gear an they were pissy about it clarkson stuck up for him so its nice to see you were understanding

I went to the recording of “Road to Success podcast” hosted by Ben Fowler and guest was Ben Collins. This was recorded last week and he talked about this day with you. He had such great things to say about you, the car and the team. Shame you were not able to make it, there were quite a few KZfaqrs there and was such a great evening. Thanks for the continued, high quality content.

It’s so cool that MCLaren is so open to all of this, very good points on customer service, sales & marketing, they got it right!

I will do pushups on every like on this comment😁

Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen the Stig with even the slightest bruised ego. He took it like a champ, well done to everyone. Incredible car, Matt!

You've got some real awesome cars!

let's goooooo

The whole oil check with McLaren is crazy.

Such a pleasure watching (and learning) from, and through your channel Mat, epic videos, funny, heartfelt, and truthful. Further, so happy to see McLaren finally worked on that horrid service reputation of theirs, it’s been a struggle for years with my 12c. Massive respect for taking on the 720s project!

Matt you really are the best!,you are so good at explaining in Laymans terms what you are actually doing!I admit I am a bit late to the party but since Covid I have learnt so much regarding cars&engines as that is mostly what I have been consuming on KZfaq.the work that you,your team and especially your father take on should be celebrated,Thankyou so much and never stop smiling lad!

The whole oil check with McLaren is crazy. They could put a dip stick in the dry sump and engine oil tank you would think. Perfect mechanic for you to get too. Couldn’t have asked for better.So epic to have Ben Collin’s on too..

I appreciate that Matt's content includes actually using his cars after the build. I think it adds a lot.

I am quite new to the channel but it’s refreshing to see such friendships, family and something positive. Great content. For the oil level, since nothing has a dipstick and no more ‘fill to spill’ I am not sure I would have relied on draining a bit out - even on dry sump. I think I would drain it all and then put back in a known measured quantity - but then again I would never have undertaken a rebuild like that! Would love to know how many person hours in total you spent on it as well as the cost of parts - not for cost but out of curiosity! Thanks for such an interesting an uplifting positive engaging channel.

Let’s just take a moment here to appreciate and admire the fact that this lad who put back together a audi tt like 4 years ago now has the fucking STIG! Crashing his McLaren 720s. Mat you are an absolute legend and my fucking god your story will be told for years to come. Incredible!

Big up Simon! What a genuine guy, a true car enthusiast who definentally knows his stuff.

What a guy simon was & really knew his stuff & went above & beyond for you and for Mclaren for letting you film also! What a great build and channel u have matt! Big up to the pops aswel always helping and so wholesome giving him the ferrari too! Also smashed it with having the stig on! Keep up the great work Matt! 💪🏼

THE STIG “ SPUN “ MY MCLAREN THAT I JUST REBUILT …. Thats what it should be called mate , come on man stop with the click baiting u dont even need to clickbait u have good vids anyway 😢 good video tho mate 👍 Just some constructive criticism for u mate dont take it to heart 💙

Bro let the Stig make the fastest time with the Lambo 💪🏻💯

The McLaren technician seemed a good all round bloke. If he’s looking after your car you’re in safe hands.

that wasn't a crash Mat. pls don't don't resort to click bait tactics. we are here for you and your excellent team's content, and I love it as is

Love your simple explanations of the systems!

Great video content. Mat is 90% happy/aughing/smiling off the time… Mats dad 100 happy looking and laughing of the time 😂. Well done squad

The way you always smile through everything is so cool. You must me a great fun guy to be around.

Great episode. Between seeing the STIG for the first time and the McLaren tech, one couldn't ask for much! Enjoying your content here in South Africa🇿🇦.

I wish we had people like Simon here in India as a mechanic or anything he keeps a smile everytime man Respect!

Thank you Mat, the energy and the kindness from your videos enlight my days.

I think the car hates you for putting those wheels on it. It's the only reason I can think of. 🤣

Would be cool to see The Stig driving the lambo and seeing his time

LiebervOmid, ich bin sehr begeistert über deine Arbeit und das du auch offen mit den Zahlen umgehst,zeigt das du ein Vorreiter gegen das veraltete System (über Geld spricht man nicht in D) und ein neue Perspektive auch dem Endverbraucher gibst.Da meine neue Arbeit sehr viel mit dem zu tun hat,was du tust oder gar benötigst,werde ich noch auf dich zukommen,aber davon abgesehen,ich bin sehr glücklich,das du KZfaq bereichert hast und mich auch.Slm Celal

Hi Mat, I've really been enjoying seeing you and your dad work on the NICEST cars on the planet, and to know that you're a self taught mechanic that NEVER stops smiling makes it better.

these supercars look like absolute electrical nightmares🫠

Service cost at McLaren was better than expected. Amazing work with computers these days... with electronic systems. You had me on the edge of my seat with the stig 😂😂😂😂😂 cheeky bugger I thought I was gunna be totally screwed..... thankgoodness it wasn't. Thanks Mat for another awesome upload.

You have done an amazing job on this car. The build was as complex as can be, you got it done, and the paint scheme is brilliant.

I truly feel his excitement! So cool to see someone so happy! God bless his heart.

Rebuild a Lamborghini aventador next pls

Hey Mat. My girlfriend calls you that guy. Do not worry, I have shown her the lane. You no longer that guy.

Glad you got it all working properly electronic issue are wack to say the least! Now she sounds good and healthy now for a proper tune! Great content!

4 wheel drive makes a huge difference! Loving the vids matt and the crew!

1 like 1 push up 🆙

You're such an inspiring person,with every step you take in this new journey, yall will aways inspire me,I wish to work in a shop just like you ,even though I'm not qualified as well😅 ,Thank yall Mat for all of your hard work and dedication ❤

Thanks mat for the update wish I had the financial to do what u do am a mechanic but mechanic work here in his country is like a labour work on a construction site for some people but one day I will do it because I love the and love fixing car

Awesome video Matt.Just not long ago come across your channel,absolutely loving it,really interesting,fun content.Can’t wait for the next one

Matthew Armstrong you legend - when I saw you got an M3 I was like please please do the Adro kit and you delivered - can't wait to see it painted 😍😍

So pumped for your content you are ABSOLUTELY KILLING IT !!!!!!

I think being able to tell people the Stig spun your car out into the gravel is probably the greatest achievement in life Mat. Great show!!

Simon is a badass mechanic! Wish more people were like him

Really impressed with Ben. Awesome driving! Awesome cars. Keep it up m8!

Absolutely fantastic video, keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍👍

Only just recently discovered the channel. And wow… got me hooked straight away! Really enjoyed every second!! Loving the journey!

Love your videos, you and your team are truly an inspiration!😁👍

Love how Mat says “electronical stuff” - it is the high level tech talk that brings me back to this channel time and time again 😂

Am here after seeing you on Ben Collins channel. Great that you managed to keep smiling even after Ben binned your car!! Converted and now subscribed as well.

Love the vids btw have been following you projects for a wile

Great video lots of variety with mechanics and driving , the mechanic and Ben were good at making the video a good one.

Congratulations Mat and team! Great work, that McLaren is excellent!

Cheers for including the cost update 👍

That was some headscratching to solve the "security" issue. Nicely done, and that McLaren tech sure was a cool dude! As for the track part, I think it's confusing that the GT3 wouldn't be faster than the McLaren, since it's more built for the track and in capable hands can do some crazy stuff. I would've loved to see you guys both do times on both of the cars, would give a better idea of your ability differences. Have you considered, when tracking cars, that you could wear helmets? I was very surprised a professional driver didn't bring one for safety.

Marvellous Mat & Company! You nailed it again!

Love the videos Mat, you can defo handle a car if you’re getting close to The Stigs lap times. I’m not sure if you manage to read comments but I’ll pop this here. I’d love to see you make a video / videos on the part of car performance that seems to get overlooked. Weight reduction. Gordon Murray and Colin Chapman both huge advocates on the benefits. Infact I think Gordon Murray’s car collection doesn’t have any cars over a tonne. You’ll also love the feel of driving a pure lightweight RW drive car, no PS…. Maybe even no ABS 🫣 I’ve a MK1 MX5 with a Flyin Miata Turbo kit, it’s a bit of a dog TBH but I do love tracking and hill climbing it. Once you drive a car with so much feel in the steering it’s hard for me to go back.

Fantastic guys ! Be proud be very proud 👍🏻

That was such a perfect product drop. running a track and drinking it at the same time, LOL

Awesome vid mate can’t wait to see more

I can't believe how good all of your videos are!

Loving the Click bait title - ‘the stig ‘crashes’ 🤣 You mean the stig loses control & spins into the gravel 😂 Keep up the mega videos MA 🙌🏻

Excellent vid, bringing in the Stig is a flex. Anyone notice Ben moved his seat closer

I can’t wait for my notifications to say you have uploaded I’m not into cars or a petrol head I watch the vids for you and your dad love the vids mega it’s exciting to watch and keep it up

This is perfect example of the difference awd makes. More power, less weight, and the stig still couldn’t beat it. Incredible what traction can do for track times.

Good to see the McLaren up and running, congrats. Was it wrapped green? I like them in all black. Stunning!

Love the color combos. Looks great!

Amazing content, keeping it real! Maybe a behind the scenes on Ben's car? Or a tune-up and redemption.

Hat's off to Simon at McLaren for being so accomodating, helpful and giving you an honest appraisal.

What an amazing watch, loved every min of the video🎉🎉🎉🎉

First time seeing this channel and its very well done!

If there's someone that should take over The grand tour after Clarksson, Hammond and May you should be one of them. This is just awesome! More videos of you being on the track with your friends please! 🤩

1400 Odd Pound Was Bloody Good Well Done Mclaren X

The huracan performante is more than 10 seconds faster on the nurburgring than the 720s so the result isn't bad Kudos mat😂😂❤

I'm not even a gear head but I love cars. This was such engaging content. Well fkn done.

well done, nothing better than getting things working, love that you do exactly what i do, please,please, little please. please start!!!!lol

What a stunning car mat you've killed this one again it is most definitely the best car and most beautiful car you've owned although from the last we seen it to now you've done was alot that we never saw

mate you are living the life that people would love to have stay blessed always

anxious after a few seconds of watching. one of the ways excess oil 'finds its own way out' is via an oil seal or multiple seals maybe (!)

Car looks great!!

Wow just wow Matt… I’m just kind blown by how you and your team pulled this off. From a broken tub to super car. Absolutely incredible! Congratulations 🎊🎉

Super Super Super program God Bless You family Mat Armstrong !!!

I love the colour scheme, what a car and an awesome upload, I really enjoyed watching this thanks Mat 🙂

fantastic videos, keep up the good work

Drifting a McLaren is possibly the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! I'm a forever fan boy now

Hi Mat , 110 % valuable high quality content. You are always 110% motivated, 110% solution-oriented, 110% goal-oriented, 110% never give up mentality. Best regards

1st video of yours I've watched and really enjoyed it,going to binge out on the rest now 😁your day of beating the hurricane will come my friend..lewy UK✌️👊😎

Impressive lap time from ben, really improved a lot!!

Mclaren is so lucky with engineers like that

Simon is the man !

What a man, you know your stuff. Love your videos

I have done the immo unpairing multiple times on 720s, the trick is, once the car goes to sleep for 5minutes, JUST START IT in 1 go, dont ignition on then start.
