Ur dad is such an legend, maybe an idea to rebuild your dad’s dream car next and then give it to him when it’s done! Love your videos Matt, all the best from the Netherlands.
Am I the only one who absolutely loves how happy his dad is? He seems to enjoy every minute he spends with Mat fixing the Lambo, it puts a huge smile on my face
Said it before but I'll say it again. Officially the best car channel on YT! Both yours, and your Dads energy are epic! Can't wait to see this running 100%, you guys deserve it!
Anyone else just sit around waiting for the notification of a new vid, just to see the comment section bombarded in under a minute? Still one of the pleasures of being early to see a much anticipated vid.
You can tell Mat doesn't fake his happiness. He doesn't do it for the camera, he is just truly happy the car started. In todays world of fake TH-cam videos and reactions this is priceless to see, such an honest and real person.
Except for how he plays annoying melodramatic music at the beginning of almost all of his videos and how he tells that nearly every car he gets was his dream car and he's always wanted to have that car. I mean, for a couple of cars, sure, even I have my favourites. But not all cars that I work on are my favourite cars.
@@jackcameroon8423 Why not, I love Gt3RS, 488, m4, RS3, RS6 ... I can still call thousands more... And I would say they are all my dream cars and I would love to have them all.
That much so I had tears in my eyes as the feelings are raw and real and yes exactly that we don't see this on yt it's all soo fake unfortunately that normally spoils it but not for matt as we all know he is as real as the come. 🎉😊
That moment when the Murcielago started for the very first time was like breathing new life into the engine. You’re perseverance Matt is contagious. Rebuilding a car from scratch with your Dad creates memories for a lifetime. ✌️
Matt, honestly mate, one of my favourite bits about the series is the enjoyment your dad is getting out of this project, and seeing you two work together. I’m looking forward to when my son is older so we can do something like this
Dude, the fact that I heard that engine roar for the first time in 7 years gave me goosebumps.. I'm glad to be a part of this journey! You deserve it all, mate! Keep up the good work, and make that beast roll again on the streets!
Matt, I think I speak for a lot of people on here, it's really special to see the passion you and your dad share for cars. Your relationship is something to cherish, enjoy every second buddy.
I think what makes Matt’s content so good is his understanding of *story*. Find me another channel that understands rhythm and pacing like this - every 20 minutes is an absolute breeze to watch, and it’s because he doesn’t waste a second on anything the viewer doesn’t need to see. Along with management of tone (reversals and setbacks), use of music and knowing where to end each vid so the viewer is satisfied but still wants more. Basically you’re a great editor Matt - no idea how you find the time to do it all alongside the rebuilds and the travel!
@@MatArmstrongbmx I used to reckon on cutting 5 tight minutes a day when I was a professional editor, so putting out a 25 min vid a week is basically a full time job by itself! 🤣
My wife and I also like the storytelling and how he follows through with his builds, though we don't even have a car. It's a big misunderstanding of some TH-camrs, to think that people subscribe to them even if they get nothing done.
@@MatArmstrongbmx I was talking to SV Delos once and they recon'ed for a 40 min video it took them 40 hours to produce. How you find the time to make these fantastic (the best on YT) videos in between fixing these cars is a a feat of super human endurance and dedication! Respect!
As someone who has rebuilt a car from scratch, that moment when the car comes back to life is one of the top things any gear head can experience. Keep up the awesome job!!
We need a separate account for your dad he is a legend! Lost my dad when I was young and I used to rebuild cars and tractors with him and this brings me so much joy and memories! Actually went on to be a mechanic and even I’m learning so much from your videos! Love it
The father / son teamwork and mutual respect is so uplifting. Mat is the talkative front man, but at appropriate times, he defers to his dad. Equally, Mat’s dad is a modest guy and a lot of the time, he’ll discuss with, rather than tell, his son. And both of them laughing like drains when the Vee Twelve lights up properly (definitely sounds like it’s running on all cylinders because it’s so freaking smooth, a malevolent single tone from the exhaust). Other father son petrol head channels are Vice Grip Garage (Derek & his boys) and also Lee Johnson (motorcycle racing) with his lad, Jessie. Enjoy!
Coming from the US there needs to be more people in this world like Matt and his dad this video brought tears to my eyes it's amazing. It's awesome to see the love that they spread to everyone that they meet!
Seeing you all this with your dad makes me realise how fortunate you are. My dad had dementia from his very early 60s, but my best times with my dad were under a Datsun 180B when i was 17 and 18 yo. Treasure these times with your dad mate. I know you will because they will be on TH-cam unless you pull them one day. They're incredibly important times.
Mat I am 62 years old I been a mechanic since I was 15 and it just goes to show your never to late to learn .I have been with big companies in my life and I am amazed mate why hat goes off to u and your dad .
Hey Mat, I am so glad you are able to work on this Murcielago and restore it to its former glory. You give inspiration to all of us to not give up with all the setbacks you faced. Good luck!
What an amazing community this is! Mat and his dad resurrecting the engine, other guys at workshop helping out, Tavarish just checking in to help as well. Then the php guy giving online advice, and Lee starting the car eventually!
I was into tears after hearing the first crank. I was so closely following this particular project that i felt it was one of my success to hear the engine start. It feels blessed that i found you content. I would love to see the car in real one day.
That was so awesome to watch. After all your long and extremely hard work, you gave Lee the honor of turning the key. Very cool of you to do that. You’re a good man. One of the many reasons I watch your channel. Good on you, brother. 😊
I was sitting on the tip of my chair and cheered the moment the murci turned alive! What a thrill this engine rebuild has been.. One word.. Epic! Kudos to you, Matt and your dad🙏🏼
Brooooo! Finally! I felt an incredible tension before starting the Murci, I literally had tears coming up my eyes seeing all the emotions that were with you all at the garage. The fact that you gave your viewer the honor of trying to start the car you've been working on for so long shows just how much you respect your audience. Incredible work, keep it up!
I love how much commercial television can learn from Matt and his team. Content is king. Happily watch any sponsorship messages to help support this amazing channel!
That was literally your best and most exciting episode to date! I actually got quite emotional for you at the very end too hear that V12 burst into life! Hats of to you Mat Im sure this will be trending 1st on youtube in no time! 😁
I'm going through a crappy time atm and I've not had reason to smile in a while but I'm beaming after watching that, what a sight bringing that monster back to life, well done all that's fantastic x
Man this honestly made me tear up a bit seeing all you guys smiling and having fun and your dad seems to have so much fun when he's around you. Thank you as always for sharing your amazing content with us Mat. It's so clear how passionate and dedicated you are to these projects. Awesome video as always!
I've never been so happy to hear an engine fire. The amount of work, skill and dedication to get it to this point has been phenomenal. Congratulations to everyone who has laid a finger on this, but your Dad is an absolute hero. You're clearly a chip off the old block though!
Wow. I think it’s your best upload to date, the involvement with your dad is the best. I’ve recently lost my dad, but just the same as you two. Both petrolheads, loved anything with an engine and constantly tinkering. Times like this are priceless, he’s a legend. Please include him as much as possible, as unreal as the Porsche build is… this video was very emotional to watch for me. What an achievement, your well and truly living the dream Mat 😎
Totally agree, best upload. Watching this and reading your comment brought a few tears to my eye. Built many cars with Dad, petrol was in our blood and banter. He's been gone 10yrs this summer. I still hear his voice when I'm working on my cars, holding his old ratchet and spanners in my hand. I know he is up there giving me an agreeing nod to my current project (Audi BRV V8 block with twin turbos). 🙂
Seeing you and your dad do this makes me so happy. My dad would help me with things on my cars and he suddenly passed away 2 years ago, I'd give anything to have him back and do things like this with him, and seeing you guys do this together really makes me so, so happy. Please never stop, cherish every moment you can together.
Man the vibes in this video… absolutely immaculate. Cheers to you and your father and the whole team Mat. Could feel the energy through this toxic screen
Tbh I had a little cry when she fired up and roared the second time, total magic after all the trials. What a car this will be! Your dad deserves his own special rebuild but I bet he’s loving doing it with you, Hanna and crew 🎉🎉
YES! I got tingles when it started up, I can't imagine how you must have felt after all the work you've all put in! Having lost my dad recently it's so much more special to see you do this with your dad and see the excitement from you both. It's always been my dream to own and work on a fast car and your videos make me want to do it even more. What an incredible channel you've created!
I can say this is the luckiest Murcielago in the world when she meets Matt. You put so much love on it and we feel it. Can't wait to see the next episode.
Matt....you, your Dad, Hannah and friends are a total inspiration, you fill my heart with so much joy and others that watch and never miss an episode, well done to you all, totally awesome achievement.
Congratulations on this achievement. So many things I could say here but the highlights here are all the hard work your dad and friends have put in this and the fact that Freddie was here shows the great collab work and content all you guys are putting out there on youtube. Who knew that tensioning a belt needed to be done by sound? I learned that from you Mat. That’s the content you are putting out there, never heard of it before. Looking forward to the next amazing video.
Ducati timing belts are tensioned by sound. so are the oil cooler belts on a AW109 helicopter. really good way of getting the correct tension. top video matt.
When your Dad stands by your side when your all grown up, sky's the limit! You can literally make impossible possible!! Love the joy at the end. Best from Toronto Canada
After months of work and assembling, hearing the engine running is something truly mental. No surprise that Mat's reaction is honest. I was feeling the same behind the screen. Truly one of the best channels on YT. Keep the good work, and see you next time :)
Mat I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to see something start so much. Amazing mate months off hard work. You did it. Be proud off yourself that’s made my day
it’s incredible how happy I felt for someone I don’t know, months in the work Mat and you are still showing us how positive you are! Can’t wait to see what’s next 🙌🏽
I’ve been watching your journey on here waiting for this moment, probably “almost” as much as you have. I am so proud of what you and your father have done, and love watching you both. Congrats a million from a fan, who ironically lives about 30 minutes from your Florida USA project. Best wishes man, and can’t wait to see what happens next!!
I love how these videos bring people from all cultures/religion/views together. Nothing but respect for all the hard work that goes into these projects. Ps I love your dad man!
I’ve waited a long time for this. My eyes teard up seeing it run. It’s also so amazing to see your dad and you enjoying this project so much. Respect man!❤❤
You're a genuinely nice bloke, Mat! You gave a fan (someone essentially unknown to you) the chance to first-start the Murcielago. Small suggestion for you though: Please invest in a sandblasting cabinet for the removable metal parts. And use glass beads in it to get that metal shining up ;) It would look AWESOME on the Murcielago motor!
Had the pleasure of meeting mat this weekend at petrolheadnism and I can honestly say that he’s the most kindest and down to earth person ever, gonna cherish my photo with him forever ❤️❤️
Oh Matt that final scene of you starting the car had me in tears. How can this journey you've taken us on be so emotional. I don't know how you stay so positive and happy through the worst problems. I think your almost there now so can't wait to see the next few videos as I'm sure the test drive won't be far off!
I am in awe of you and your dad. In a future (sad) world of EV's, seeing that V12 burst into life was truly special! The internal combustion engine is a spectacular thing! Congratualtions Mat
You and your Dad are both Legends! It just goes to show that TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! You two have done the Armstrong Community Proud every Vid that goes out make me want to watch more straight away! Thanks for the content Mat you my friend have got this channel booming! 🙌🤙
The video released 5mins ago and the comments are already appreciating it 😂…. However,we also know that mat won’t fail to entertain and educate us… keep it up,mate!
TOTALLY BRILLIANT guys!!!!!!! AMAZING determination and continuous confidence!!! WELL DONE ALL!!!! I was literally clapping along with you at the end!!!!!! WOW!!!!!
That open header exhaust is music to my ears! Sounds freaking awesome! Great work Matt,from you and your pops!!! Nice to see this project gaining some momentum on its final lap to the finished line!🙏💪👍
omg.. I yelled when the car started up.. and woke up my family.. But, WAS SO EXCITED to see it finally start up for you.. much respect and love to you..
Your little make shift team of misfits getting the engine in was hilarious and glad to see Freddy in the UK and spending some time away from the states! What a collection of folks doing it the true backyard way 😂🤣 feel like I’m there and part of the crew. You do a great job at making the viewer feeling inclusive. You admit every little mistake, like we all make at the end of the day, making it feel even more relatable. Was pumped as this video kept going on and on. I’m stoked to see this thing start! Edit: Man and to see the smiles on everyone’s faces once she started popping and trying then it came to life, even briefly, was awesome! Again, feel like sort of the crew and as if we (the community) have a part in it. Can’t wait for more videos with it!!
I’m not even a petrol head but love watching these videos! Your positivity and resilience is infectious! Your love for these builds come across on every video and that’s what makes them them so enjoyable.
Ur dad is such an legend, maybe an idea to rebuild your dad’s dream car next and then give it to him when it’s done! Love your videos Matt, all the best from the Netherlands.
That would be so cool, i hope he does that !!

The smile on my face when the engine started, amazing stuff dude! Fingers crossed the engine doesn't have to leave the car too many more times!
Awesome Mat, your dad too i was on the edge of my seat.....big smile felt like I was there I love it!!! Well done super Ace!!
The fact your enjoying all this so much makes it even more watchable. Cannot wait for the conclusion of the restoration, it’s going to be mega.
So glad the murcielagos back here, one of my dream cars, keep up the good work mate
These videos are so good . Pleasure to meet you matt on Saturday . The venue was fire 🔥
So pleasant seeing father and son bond and joy on working together 🥰 love it matt! All the love on this project!🫶🏼
I love how these videos bring people from all cultures/religion/views together. Nothing but respect for all the hard work that goes into these projects. Ps I love your dad man!
I’ve waited a long time for this. My eyes teard up seeing it run. It’s also so amazing to see your dad and you enjoying this project so much. Respect man!❤❤
Goosebumps. Just goosebumps to see this project truly come to life. You deserve it Matt. 👏
You're a genuinely nice bloke, Mat! You gave a fan (someone essentially unknown to you) the chance to first-start the Murcielago.
Small suggestion for you though: Please invest in a sandblasting cabinet for the removable metal parts. And use glass beads in it to get that metal shining up ;) It would look AWESOME on the Murcielago motor!
Hello Mat! I’m watching every single episode of your series!🫡 Much respect!🤝🏻
Had the pleasure of meeting mat this weekend at petrolheadnism and I can honestly say that he’s the most kindest and down to earth person ever, gonna cherish my photo with him forever ❤️❤️
Oh Matt that final scene of you starting the car had me in tears. How can this journey you've taken us on be so emotional. I don't know how you stay so positive and happy through the worst problems. I think your almost there now so can't wait to see the next few videos as I'm sure the test drive won't be far off!
Love seeing the relationship you and your dad have! The shared joy is amazing. 😊
I am in awe of you and your dad. In a future (sad) world of EV's, seeing that V12 burst into life was truly special! The internal combustion engine is a spectacular thing! Congratualtions Mat
You and your Dad are both Legends! It just goes to show that TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK! You two have done the Armstrong Community Proud every Vid that goes out make me want to watch more straight away! Thanks for the content Mat you my friend have got this channel booming! 🙌🤙
The video released 5mins ago and the comments are already appreciating it 😂…. However,we also know that mat won’t fail to entertain and educate us… keep it up,mate!
A true LEGEND, you can not fake that nervousness, excitement and relief on your face Mat when that car finally came back to life.
A rare opportunity that right after I sit with my food, a good YT video is already prepared to watch.
I'm so envious of the bond you and your dad have. Never let that go man. Great videos.
Mate these edits are inspirational. The tunes, the story telling. Insane. You had me jumping on the treadmill hoping it’ll start 😂
This build has been so killer! Love seeing your dad be such an integral part of getting the Lambo going. Can’t wait for the next installment
seeing you grow is absolutely astonishing, ive been watching every single video for the past year or year and a half. love them all, keep it up.
All I can say is all I can witness is a man having so much fun repairing the cars he loves what a life 🙏 well done Matt
Been waiting for this one. Nice work, Matt & Team.
TOTALLY BRILLIANT guys!!!!!!! AMAZING determination and continuous confidence!!! WELL DONE ALL!!!! I was literally clapping along with you at the end!!!!!! WOW!!!!!
Mat you and your Dad are legends. Absolutely brilliant to see the fruits of all the hard work come to life. Enjoy Gents. 🍾🥂🎉🎉.
That open header exhaust is music to my ears! Sounds freaking awesome! Great work Matt,from you and your pops!!! Nice to see this project gaining some momentum on its final lap to the finished line!🙏💪👍
I genuinely love Matts never say die attitude, one of his strongest qualities ❤🎉
omg.. I yelled when the car started up.. and woke up my family.. But, WAS SO EXCITED to see it finally start up for you.. much respect and love to you..
Every time when I watch Mat videos it makes my day 😊 great job mat always make my day.
Your little make shift team of misfits getting the engine in was hilarious and glad to see Freddy in the UK and spending some time away from the states! What a collection of folks doing it the true backyard way 😂🤣 feel like I’m there and part of the crew. You do a great job at making the viewer feeling inclusive. You admit every little mistake, like we all make at the end of the day, making it feel even more relatable. Was pumped as this video kept going on and on. I’m stoked to see this thing start!
Edit: Man and to see the smiles on everyone’s faces once she started popping and trying then it came to life, even briefly, was awesome! Again, feel like sort of the crew and as if we (the community) have a part in it. Can’t wait for more videos with it!!
Everybody needs a mate like tavarish
I’m not even a petrol head but love watching these videos! Your positivity and resilience is infectious! Your love for these builds come across on every video and that’s what makes them them so enjoyable.
