    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!?

      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.
