What an emotional Rollercoaster of an episode!

Having your dad there to give you that other much needed perspective in times of frustration is priceless.

Having your dad with you is like an extra life. When you think you are dead, but when your dad is around nothing is far from over!

One of the best things about this channel apart from the lessons it teaches you about resilience, persistence and positivity as well as the great teamwork involved that includes your dad- is that it appeals to all ages. No profanity and is suitable for the whole family to watch. We often sit down as a family to watch Matt’s videos, including my wife and 2 boys aged 5 & 7

Tony saying "never mind, we're all still alive" so quickly and so sincerely made me smile, and is such an embodiment of him and Mat. Love it.

I'm literally blown away by the way your dad supports you and has the ability to read back in time what happened to the car. The fact that he joined you along the way and now is an essential part of the show is a clear sign of how you two guys complete each other. It's probably the episode I've seen in which this emerges the most. Incredible job

Honestly haven*t finished this video but i got to say, your storytelling and voice over is absolutely immaculate and to me that's a big part of these rebuilds. There is alot of people who can point a camera at a car and try to figure out why that shit ain't cranking, but the way you pull us in with the story telling, the suspense, the hope. Absolute masterclass. As a car nut this has quickly become one of my favorite channels, and hands down my favorite rebuild channel. And lets not forget the father son dynamic, that shits so wholesome. keep it up you lot!

Thank you so much Mat for your real emotions in all of your videos. I am german professional car technician and I have depressions for many years. Every time I watch videos of your channel it feels so much better to live on.

I'll be 71 in four months and so glad I follow your channel! Tony called it ... "Nevermind, we're all still alive!" Wishing you nothing but good health and success!!

Nothing better to make your monday than a Mat upload

Mat brother, you have huge balls and a hell of a bloke. I don't ever want to hear you say your aren't a mechanic again. You are awesome and a really good guy. Your dad is hilarious. U all have completed unbelievable tasks in the SuperCar world. My hats off to you mate.

To see a father and son living and loving their live's purpose gives me so much joy. Your dad is priceless he adds so much life to you and the channel and you to him as well.

What an amazing vid!! No one does it better than matt to be honest 👏

Your dad is one heck of a mechanic. And has a awsome outlook and personality. You must of gotten it from him. Hes a good guy from what i see.

Mat, I love the education pieces you slot into the videos. The explanation of why the fuel octane level blew up the engine was brilliant. One of the most valuable things I learnt last year and answered the question as to why we are told the right fuel matters. Please keep doing these with the simple drawings. They dont get the credit they deserve. Cheers.

Mat your dad is honestly such a gem. Also to see him getting so comfortable on camera is really great. Hope you guys can do a lot more build together.

5:22 that's not a bolt, Mat. That's a nut. Just like you 😂

Hi Matt. Philadelphia. I love you guys. Y'all rock. That car you have to pay attention to the details than all the other cars y'all fixed. You didn't spend much money to fix it every time something went wrong. It was always the details. The little ones at that. My dad use to fix cars when I were a little girl before he passed. I would give anything to have a dad like yours. He's a great guy. To see guys like y'all. If I had the money I would live in the UK. To meet more people like y'all guys. Keep on rockin. Philly love.

Wow Matt ! Seeing the smoke steam at the end of the. I wanted to cry for you. I’m 45 by the way but been there time and time again. Just can’t get a break. Then good old super Dad t the rescue. Well done Tony got your lads back. And that screen saver at the end Momentous occasion. Well done on a superb episode. Well done to all involved @tavarish you a good friend!

Tony is JUST out of this world: resilient and optimitic at a level that deafests resilience and optimism...On top he is very likeable, funny and very good with his hands...In fewer words: a Blessing to have around!

What's better than blowing your engine once with wrong fuel? Pushing it again with a new engine before the dyno. We love your noggin Mat

The concern you show for dad is awesome. Same time…. That sound from his head hitting the lift… while doing the robot… wild. Love you guys. “Gear stick is all floppy” total top gear quote lmao, I lowve it chap!

The ups and downs in the vid had me going crazy! Fair play to you and your team. Your dads amazing!! Just keep smiling 💙 iv been subbed for so many years and seeing your progress is out of this world. Just absolutely amazing bro

Brilliant having dad around. That guy absolutely makes these videos very difficult not to watch. Seriously. The way he hangs on to every detail gives him a library of productive solutions. He really is a vital part of the ride, no doubt. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

As a mechanic myself I can completely understand Mat’s reaction. There is no better feeling than to find a stupid solution for a major problem and avoiding the hassle of fixing it. Especially true when it’s an issue engine or transmission job. P.s. I love watching these videos because it reminds me of all the times I used to fix cars with my father.

bro, you are one of the people who deserve a lot of things, you have put as much work into this car as into others, but most of all into this Audi, you and all those who helped you, I hope that the car will no longer have nothing and be perfect

Bro, kerosene starts playing 😢.

You truly are blessed to be able to spend the time with your pops like this. Love watching this stuff man. Keep it up.

Lost my dad a couple months ago we where both carpenters, used to do all kinds of stuff together. Seen u doing this with ur dad makes me so happy to see. Been following u since the Audi TT and love all your stuff. Keep moving forward Matt. HWBT

Hey Matt! I love you're videos and your KZfaq story, but that I'm loving the most is your relationships with your father.... I lost my father 20 years ago when I was 18... So.... Congrats for every project and every video!! I'm enjoying everyone!!

you should keep that car, it has a worldwide sentimental value now. Tony you're the man! Congrats Mat and the entire crew this RS6 series should be put in the mainstream.

Mat, I love your channel and the content, but your Dad is really something that put the cherry on top of the cake. When he laughs, none around him can be serious any more, even if there is a serious issue. I believe you are one proud son and Tony a one proud father. Kudos for you both.

When your dad found that hose/pipe, I wanted to hug him. The Audi RS6 is one of my dream cars, if not my favorite. You are lucky to have this car and a cool dad like yours. Cheers buddy!

What a totally absorbing tale. Actually this is the best video I’ve seen all year. You guys are so likeable and the sheer effort is immense. Respect.

I felt the excitement when Tony said I found it!!! But when he said " We are still alive". His energy is 100% needed! (M.A. merchandise) lol

First time I seen Mat genuinely beaten. Then good old Tony comes long, puts a bit of perspective and positive energy on it, gets stuck in and fixes it. A great advertisement for team work and positive vibes. Well done again! 🎉

Your Oldman is a legend. Been there with the old oh No. DAD SAVES THE DAY WITH A COOL CLEAR Head. Lol Legend

MAT ARMSTRONG......IM SO PROUD YOUR FROM LEICESTER 👍👍 IM TRULY BLOWN AWAY WITH YOUR PERSISTENCE, PATIENCE, TRUE GUTTED DETERMINATION ADDING YOUR NATURAL TALENT INTO THIS....

As a 12 year old, I really love your content. Ever since I found your channel I’ve not missed an upload since and I can’t explain how much I love your content. I work with my stepdad at his garage and I’m really inspired by your content. I am definitely going to work as an engineer and mechanic when I’m older. I bought a crate of your limited edition happy banana yfood as soon as I watched your last video. I really love watching your content every week, keep up the good work. 💙

What I really appreciate about these videos is how there's so much content within the entire runtime. You don't stretch things out or constantly leave things on a cliff hanger to keep people watching. Bravo

Hope you enjoy the car and never sell it. This was my dream car also back in 2012. After so much work I finally got a 2010 S6 and not long after I had a swimming accident and lost everything. Now I sit in a wheelchair. Losing the ability to drive was the biggest blow. Watching the RS6 series made my cry a bit but also happy for you 😘😘

I love how you were devastated. Dad walks into frame. You make a commercial break from it. You truly are a natural!!!

you can tell mat has put his heart and soul into this car, the sheer euphoria when it started, and the utter defeat and hatred for the car when it blew, you could hear it in his voice, both times. Keep going Mat, you are an inspiration to all

I was yelling when the car started and was LITERALLY tearing up when it broke down again.... the content you make is just so heartfelt that i enjoy all the ups and downs of this channel! I almost feel like im one of the guys there working on the car with you. You really do bring a smile to the world with all the videos and work you guys do. Hard work really does beat talent, and you have BOTH.

This episode had it all. You could make a book of it. If you only now how happy i am that i found your channel a few years ago. That energy that honesty. But really your taste of cars is on point 2. Keep it up and i am happy for you that these files where pretty oke to do.

It’s nice to see a generally nice person do well for themself, Enjoyed watching your journey over the years Hard work really does pay off ! Dedication to what you love and want to do really does pay off but doesn’t come without hard work and failures a hell of a lot of life lessons along the way ! Trust the process

Awesome episode. Your dad is Rockstar, the most dad thing ever when he said , " never mind, we are still alive" Then taking a look whilst you were freaking out. I totally understand why you felt defeated at that point though. Glad it was a quick fix.

Tony is the Superstar here love what he said .We still alive what a great attitude.

22:12 his dad is amazing hahah big part of the channel, amazing energy and positivity!! Cheers Papa Armstrong!

I admire you guys' positivity in tough times like the ones you were facing. Your Dad brightens up even in the most dire situations!

Personally I think you & your Dad & crew should have your own TV show ( an hour long ) ( without adverts except car vertical ) Absolutely brilliant content which shows the real life & it’s ups & downs.. Awesome 👏🏼

I found your channel due to this RS6 build and I'll be forever thankful for it. Now one of my favourite KZfaq channels ever and I knew NOTHING about cars coming into this.

I watched all, and I'm Audi man and the happiness when you started the engine, guys amazing. Massive THANK YOU for all the series.

This is what KZfaq is about ! Real people real problems real outcomes ! Love your work Mat & Team !! 🏎️

I absolutely love the Tavarish team-up. The collaboration is literally the best thing as you are both the top of the top when it comes to your videos and personalities. ❤

Volt drop test is your best friend in these situations Matt!!! If you attach your multi metre to battery ground then to engine earth and crank the vehicle if it reads any voltage that’s how much you have lost! In your case you would’ve seen 12 volts earth to earth which is why it didn’t start

So stoked for you guys to get it running again, crazy build and your dad's a legend!

One of your best episodes, so enjoyed this!!. Such a great team atmosphere and lucky to have Dad lift you up.. congrats on the build Mat. 👍

Back in the 80's I worked on Audi GTV's, and after a couple years and fixing almost every part on the car, customers would ask me "What should they do to solve all these problems?" . My final answer was "Buy Two. One will be in the shop, and One to drive after it was fixed. I now own a Audi RS6 R and it's a phenomenal automobile with modified 1,100 HP. But, I also went out and bought a Regular Audi RS6 Advant after remembering my past troubles with Audi. I suggest that advice still sticks with this brand. Buy Two. Robert(Ras).

I have subscribed to this channel since the TT days. This is the first time I've seen Mat nearly break... This RS6 has pushed the team to their limits like no other car has done. Yet the result, as always, is "Hard work beats talent".... Brilliant episode this is 👌

This car really tests Matt to his absolute patient.... i can really see his emotions in this vid. Happy, excited, sad, disappointed, frustated... at some point you can hear his voice was like his almost crying.... yet, he kept pushing forward... Matt is surely one resilient man!

So happy for you guys This is such a feel good channel! ❤ Me and my little boy watch all your videos. I hope my little man gets to grow up as close as you and your pops it's super inspiring

Whoever edits these videos does a great job. They're so much more dramatic than most KZfaq creations.

The highs and lows this car has given you are immense. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so deflated when you thought you’d blown another engine. I know we only caught a segment of it but Tony obviously did the dad chat off camera and also just got to work and looked to see if there was anything other than the engine blowing. For Mat not even being able to work on the car as his emotions were just at rock bottom says it all. The elation and pure relief when Tony found the pipe that had blown off just goes to show that Mat puts his heart and soul into every build and with a dad like Tony (calm, just gets on with it ) but also the passion in the builds it’s the perfect team. It’s was never going to beat the McLaren at the quarter mile (unless it was raining, then the 4wd might have just got him over the line first) The result is not important, what a car, what a build and what emotions. 👍🇬🇧

I've been following this RS6 journey. Was super excited seeing 2024 upload after months of silence. Halfway through the episode I've become a subscriber- Mat you're an inspiration to WORK HARD

I’m always waiting for an update on Matts uploads and I get exited every time I see you guys happy after finishing a project or solving a problem

Think this might be your best video to date. It felt like i was on the edge of my seat the whole way through, and to top it off, what a beast of a machine!

Mega. Zum ersten Mal habe ich Mat so richtig ratlos und am Boden gesehen. Es erschien logisch das wieder das genau gleiche passiert ist. Es schien so offensichtlich. Tony hat die Ruhe bewahrt und alles wurde gut. Nach so viel Gedöns zeugt es vom Mut von Mat dieses Ding danach mit Vollgas über den Track zu jagen.Well done, all of you.

Jeesuz! That RS6 is mental. Dreamcar in my eyes. Good job Mat, and what a way to overcome all hurdles with the car. And what a standup guy your father is too. Good luck on future projects.

Haha, ive been watching these for a while but Ive never felt the joy and sorrows as much as I did in this one, I found myself laughing along with you guys and felt it when you thought you'd done your engine, Tony really shone through today what an optimist and he was fully on it this video, he reminds me of my old man haha, good times lads, what a team.

Man I’m so glad your dad is in all your videos now, he’s such a character and makes you laugh! I love it

Everytime I see Matt's progress I'm convinced that I can build my own car from scratch 😂

Mat! I’ve been watching you from the beginning (well, the S5 anyway) and that was the BEST video ever ever ever!! 7:25 - your reaction, your dad, Matt so good so good so good!!!! With love from Detroit!!!

Tony is full of Light. What an incredible energy he ruba off on this great group of lads ❤

Your dad's the best, 'let's have a picnic'! Always helpful, always smiling and nothing is to difficult

Amazing job with another amazing build! Racing the GT3 against the RS6 was so surreal, thanks for having me

Absolutely love the Audi build. I’ve been on edge waiting for the final episode. Glad it finally came together. Work hard play hard!

19:48 I feel that pain. So sad and frustrating. Glad you kept going, Well done to everyone involved.

Your dads laugh is contagious love it

Haha I was seriously screaming out loud too when the car fired up 😂

I learned a long time ago if something electrical isn't working as it should, always check the wires first. Seems in this video, you too learned that valuable life lesson! It's ended up saving me tons of time (and money).

I love that the US guys are willing to give you a hand with stuff. They could be hustling their own channels, but taking the time with you guys is brilliant!

I remember when Matt only had 800k subs! Now he is at 2.5mil in just a couple of months keep up the hard work !

Your dad is the most positive person in the world.

The sheer amount of plot twist and almost all of his rebuild videos, but especially in this one is ridiculous. One could believe it's by design 😂 Good job though and I genuinely enjoy watching your channel. Love from Quebec, Canada.

Just when Matt was almost giving up his dad was very calm and spoted the issue with the positive spirit he always had in every video. Massive respect to you all guys !!

I love your attitudes. All your emotions on the surface. How you can be devastated by any problem that arises and how you can smile and fight it. With your daddy’s phrase "at least we are alive" after the engine broke down, it shows that you have brought that tenacity out of him and it is brutal. Thanks to that and to him, you now have everything you have. I'm following in my father's footsteps too, and it's magnificent. Keep on rocking, there's no limit to what you can do.

I love how your dad can laugh at any situation😂

My Brother you are a legend , I saw how hard it was to repair that rs6 but you didn't gave up and keep trying trying until it ran , A great salute to you my brother

When the RS6 engine smoked out again i instantly went "oh damn .. i guess they didn't check all the hoses, after they put the gearbox back up and remounted the engine". I've done that exact same mistake on 2 of my older cars. You just gotta love how Audi pack their engine bays so tight, you can't drop a needle in there and if a wire or a hose moves more than a centimeter, you have to reattach it. Still love em though and won't change the brand any time soon.

Hey, that green McLaren looks familiar! 🤣Had a fun day with the gang, as always! Until next time.

21:00 such a dad thing to say when your child is down, Tony is such a great addition to the channel.

man, I would like to have a dad like yours... so positive! Incredible!

Your dads honestly an absolute legend, hes worked on that car so much with you and time after time he's got a smile on his face.

This is the reason why Armstrong senior got the Ferrari, he saves the day again as always. You guys make a great team

Stumbled across your channel today and I swear, I am gonna binge all your episodes! What a guy you are Mat. You have this natural affection that transpires in your uploads and makes everything engaging.. Props

what a show guy wauw. Legit sat here with a BIG smile when you guys started it for the first time what a vibe!

Stressful watch, but so happy to see it all come together. Mat’s dad makes these videos. What a legend. Keep up the good work…I’m hooked now.

On that second engine failure, was the one time you actually looked defeated. Glad your pop came to the rescue. He was right, you’re not dead or anything!
