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 👍

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 😮

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

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 UKpostsrs 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!

let's goooooo

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 UKposts.the work that you,your team and especially your father take on should be celebrated,Thankyou so much and never stop smiling lad!

I will do pushups on every like on this comment😁

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

You've got some real awesome cars!

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!

The whole oil check with McLaren is crazy.

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 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.

Love your simple explanations of the systems!

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! 💪🏼

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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🇿🇦.

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.

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 😍😍

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

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

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

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 ❤

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

these supercars look like absolute electrical nightmares🫠

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.

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

Rebuild a Lamborghini aventador next pls

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 💙

Cheers for including the cost update 👍

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 UKposts bereichert hast und mich auch.Slm Celal

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

Marvellous Mat & Company! You nailed it again!

Fantastic guys ! Be proud be very proud 👍🏻

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

I've done quite a few trackdays at Teeside in various track cars and your gonna need 4wd with cars running that much power to compete with the Lambo. Its a pretty slippy surface when it's cold or damp.

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

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! 🤩

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

The 4WD on that Lambo is a cheat code. The track layout wasn't helping either, but I was pretty sure you'd take it in the 720, in the dry. It doesn't matter though, because the build is a great accomplishment, and the end result is stunning. Well done.

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

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 videos, keep up the good work

Love the color combos. Looks great!

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 (!)

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

Once again mat and your team very cool and funny vid keep up the good work

First time seeing this channel and its very well done!

Brilliant. Loved it.

LOVED this series mate - and what a car!

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

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

Awesome vid mate can’t wait to see more

Absolutely love this channel 👏👏👏👏

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

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

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

Me adelante a ver este auto es mi favorito 😂 y no pude esperar para verlo terminado 💪 espero hagas mas reconstrucciónes junto a tu padre 😊 siempre positivo en todo❤

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

You always have great taste in making awesome discovery's

Funny my uncle has a shop hrere in Florida and he's being doing electrical, programming and diagnostics, and as soon i heard about your car not getting even in ignition mode/state i figured out quickly that it my be the immobilizer/ keyfob system or maybe main fuse blown since you did a heck of a wire harnesses job.. anywyas Amazing channel buddy..

Cool man I live just down the road from the track and have been karting on there a few times, was it the full International Circuit that you did, that corner that the Stig came off on can be tricky, but the sweeping banked corner you can take flat out in one of their karts at 70mph

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

On a short track like this 4wd is a big advantage, maybe you could have dropped the pressure on the tires a little bit to gain more grip but overall it won't do wonders, great content btw!

The flippin stig mate!!! Go on!! 💪

That was an awesome video, really entertaining… you deserve 10million subscribers for that👌🏽

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

Love the McLaren videos watched all of them 🔥🔥

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✌️👊😎

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

I remember when 00 ( ifya know ya know who i mea ) visited for his vx8r i was involved in building he is such a jem of a bloke and his coders were sound as well but they did like there quirks when programming an ecu and running it
