    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.

    I’ve driven to Sweden and back (about 2.000 miles round trip through Holland and Germany) in my S5 several times. Yes it’s expensive but it’s such a great way to travel, you have the car when you get there and I got to drive the German Autobahns as well! Enjoy your trip and safe journey home!

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

The first of your videos I watched, the one about Aston Martin impressed me a lot. Of course, I watched all your videos after that. I want to thank you for your work. You are an inspiration of how a person who has dreams and is not afraid to follow them achieves everything he strives for. Кeep it up, man!
