We decided to do a last minute trip to the Nurburgring in Germany in the Porsche Cayman S that ive just rebuilt. After ive sold the 992 Porsche GT3 to Tavarish ive been on the look out for another GT3. As so many crashes happen on the Nurburgring i thought it might be the perfect place to grab a bargain project car!

Isn't it crazy how knowledgeable Matt has become about expensive cars exp fixing and knowing what's wrong and how to fix them.
Yeah I wish he can fix my car what a dream come true
*Mat*
It is pretty amazing.
Like how you know words but can’t make a sentence?
Experience ftw🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hi Mat, loved the video, but as a German I just had one huge ick.. What you did at 5:42 was incredibly dangerous. Never never ever stop on the shoulder for a non-emergency and especially walk around there unless your car absolutely does not move by itself anymore. The accidents stemming from distracted drivers and cars/people on the shoulder here are often some of the worst, so seeing you and your friends just walking around and talking there was unnerving to see. So please, don't do that in the future anymore. If your car does actually brake down, put on safety vests, put the emergency triangle a few hundred meters behind your car and ALWAYS! keep behind the railing.
How far apart are the exits for the Autobahn? I would have waited for an off ramp.
Thought his brakes failed ?
Good advice. 👍
it felt very weird yeah
Mat thought his brakes had gone wouldn’t you say that’s an emergency stop??
As a former ring-driver i can tell you that lap was absolutely crazy. No matter if you have done 1000 laps on the sim. The real deal is different. Bumps, temperatures, traffic, oil, brakes, tires, etc. Many, many tiny things that could have end you up in the guardrails. Skill and a tiny bit of luck brought the porsche back in one piece. Well done. 😉
Haha yeah I realised you don’t get brake fade on the sim half way round 😂
@matarmstrongmk2 safety gear next time pls , I'm old and can't take the stress watching you laughing and driving like you stole it 😅
@@matarmstrongmk2 Nice driving on the "Ring.. cool to see possible next projects.. i hear from a scotty-bird that now you have become a Ferrari guy.. keep doing great work Matt..
@@matarmstrongmk2That was def a hot lap! Couple times thought "oh shit"! 😅 glad to see her in 1 pc! This was an epic video of its own! More like this in the future! Tell Hanna, Kevin and Dad we ❤ them from Ohio. Far from florida!
I’ve noticed a couple of times on tracks, Mat is actually a pretty quick driver. Not reckless or mad lad style quick. Anyone with nerve can do that. No, Mat has very quick reactions and crucially, he learns at high speed. I remember thinking that you don’t get to be as good at BMX as he evidently is (or was) without all those attributes: nerves, quick learning, high speed reflexes. With coaching, young Mr Armstrong would, I humbly guess, be quite competitive as a pilot. But we know all this, he’s a class act. What I particularly like is that Mat is never, ever arrogant and he remains of a positive, cheerful disposition at all times. Uncommon set of attributes. Nice one, Mat. I salute you 😊
Mat has become one of my favorite people on KZhead. I started watching him way before he even had a half a million followers and now he’s getting close to two million. Just a all around great guy that is living the dream.
This channel deserves more than the MK2 tag, it’s a beast of it’s own.
True
Mk2 (in car terms) is technically just an a new and improved mk1, so I'd say the channel name is flattering if we compare the content haha
second channel videos just feel like main channel vids lol
Shush 🎉
Mee eens
I'm 39. I grew up without a dad. I never felt I missed out... until I watched you and your dad. Live the channel. Fantastic video
My #1 channel at the moment. Watching Mat and his Dad bring back top performers has been a ton of fun. Love seeing a project out there on the track! Do similar trips with the M5 and the Murci!
Professional BMX rider, self taught mechanic and soon to be racecar driver, awesome video Mat!
Also A PornStar Too !
I love watching the rebuilds but seeing you actually use the cars is brilliant. Seeing the enjoyment you get on these road trips with these cars will inspire more to go harder at living their dreams
Mat your an absolute legend of a guy from starting from where u did to building some absolutely beautiful machines this man deserves a medal hopefully get to meet you some day
Mat is a great guy with a great personality & his family are wonderful too....Mat's learning blows my mind
Hey Mat, You’re full of positive vibes! That’s so awesome, Love how you are always keep smiling even when things are not going your way. Your positive attitude is astonishing. STAY SMILING! LEGEND
Mat - all you need to do when booking on the tunnel is state you have a high vehicle above 1.85m and you go in the normal train but in the single decker section. As no stairs it is wider inside. I do this with my Maserati GrantTurismo to avoid damaging the alloys. Same price.
bro you are number 1, hands down. we love you
Talk for yourself batty boy
We started KZhead solely because of you and we’re finally seeing returns 🙏🏼 One day if we’re 10% of the man and KZheadr you are it would be a dream come true
Matt you and your crew are legends, the next time I come up to watch the tigers I would love to see around your workshop and your latest projects. Having just retired from the ambulance service after 37 years you now provide my buzz watching your uploads. Cheers Matt
Amazing video Matt, split screen camera angles on the ring were spot on buddy! Keep it coming, how about restoring some older race cars and getting them back on the track?
Loving the grinon matts face while on the track- well done- all your hard work gives you experiences like this.
Damn, watching that makes me want to go there!! Great to see having a great time, having so fun with the boys, all that “hard work beats talent” paying off!!
Absolutely love watching all your builds. Doesn't seem to matter what obstacles are thrown up, you overcome them. Favourite build so far has to be the Aston. That wrap is inspired and looks awesome ❤. Keep repairing and building 👍👍😎
11:33 thanks for telling us. Its nice when you talk to us like mates. I wanna do it next year so bad!🤞🏻
Mat has become a true Porsche lover 😬😆 ..Congrats on all your success Mat 👏
Matt is getting better everyday with these cars knowing what to fix and how to fix it . Matt for this one keep us posted on how it went when you sent the offer . Fingers crossed 🤞
Keep killing it Mat and stay humble. Your humbleness and realness is what people love about you!!!
Mat is a genius and I have a feeling that his father has a lot to do0 with it, Mat's father needs a lot more exposure in this channel. props to Mat he is humble his father too. as a fan of the channel and probably seen every video on both of Mats channels more than twice and all his shorts, I must say I really enjoy the little times when Mat's father gets some video time
Sometimes I enjoy the behind-the-scenes footage more than the regular videos & that’s why I watch this channel. Thank you Mat for taking the extra time to produce & edit this educational & very entertaining channel.
Hopefully you can put a deal together for the Gt3 as it will make some amazing content with all those different repairs
Its left wheel drive?
@@QrankChannel We've heard of RWD and FWD and AWD, Not sure what LWD means...?
@@MrDurham55He means left hand drive but I get the feeling you already know that😂
@@QrankChannelHis 992 Gt3 is also LHD. Doesn’t really matter to much. Shmee150 also drives around with is LHD Ford GT and Shelby Gt500
@@MrDurham55maybe just left wheel drive? 😂🤣
Ron is an absolute legend. Always such a nice chap, had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and always a gent. Seems like a great project for the channel.
Thanks for sharing the edit bit. Love the work and background music you pick in your videos!
Love your positive vibes & content Mat. Hope you get the GT3 🤞
The car is realistically worth 130-150, since it probably has rear structural damage. They’ll want 200k for it though. And at that point, it’s cheaper to buy a second hand one for 270-300.
Hi Mat, nice video again and I would start the bidding at half the price that a GT3 would cost without any damages and don’t forget to reclaim the VAT cause your exporting it to the UK, cheers m8
great to watch you and your mates have a blast..i got lucky enough to ride on the Autobahn but not the Ring..love Germany such a great place to visit !!
Even if its a tonne of work, I am sure we all want to see another GT3 repair, and maybe you get to keep this one!?!?
surprised to find my fav retro channel here in a car video
Mat keep doing what you are doing I love the hard work
Mega video as always, Really enjoy these vlog / behind a scenes videos! Glad your getting to enjoy your cars to I think you should do more road trips once completed cars?
Thank you for this experience! Great video 👍🏻
Hey Mat, awesome video. Aaaaand: well done on the Nürburgring! :-) As I own a 991.1 GT3 since last november, I can tell you, that the way you love Porsche will definitely increase, when you drive this one. It is by far the most perfect car I've ever driven. And I just love it. A model in good condition costs around 145-150k (depending on mileage, servcing etc.) here in Germany. So if the engine and the gearbox are okay, I would give it a try with around 70-80k. If not: don't go for it! And if you buy it, you have to bring it back here and do a rideout on the Nürburgring with you fans! ;-) Good luck. Timo
My initial gut was also close, 65-75K. Re-watching it though, it would be a very risky bet without putting it on a lift first and checking the true extent of the damage. If the sellers aren't amenable to that, there's probably a reason for it and that would probably cap a "sensible" price at about 50K.
There's a bit of blocking on that lap tut tut 😆 Can hear them tyres screaming 😱 😂 the sim helps yes!!
Mat thank you so much for your Driving skills I was on the edge of my seat😱 great video guys so happy you all got back in one place 🫶🏻👏🏻👍🏻
What a reward for all the hard work! So well deserved! 👍🏼
Skoda is the only car that didn't go Kaputt
This is such a fun video!! Love the carnage!!!! 😆
Love your enthusiasm, obviously having a great time. ❤
Hi. The vrs you have there i was owner 1 from new and spect it up and choose the plate. So nice to see it still running and been round the Nurburg!!!!!Thats one of my favourite cars i owned and i always look at for it esp at car shows!!!!
keep it up matt👍
Matt you inspire us so much I was asking myself what time you were posting a new video 😎
Really fun to watch! Also, good that you had a rearview cam! Nice driving too!
I’ve been round the Ring a few times on 5 different visits in various cars and can honestly say it is one of my favourite places on the planet. The track is unbelievable and punishing for your car and body. I was sweating like a pig after coming off and the adrenaline rush was intense. Even the car parks there are a feast for the eyes and some great people from all over the world to chat to. I even had the pleasure of meeting Sabine Schmitz in the car park (RIP queen of the Ring). If you love cars like myself and your thinking about going, just do it, you won’t regret it. Walkie Talkie’s are a must for the journey if your going with a few mates and in my opinion Eindhoven is a good place to stop overnight on route. The coffee shops are worth a visit. 😜
14:30 that was the most dangerous overtake i've seen so far
not really.. the bmw was being over defense for no reason. He didnt have the power for the straight line but was still not letting anyone over
Gday Mat, The wrecked Porsche has potential but nothing frustrates me more in a deal than when the seller won’t give you a price. Wants you to make an offer! “Sorry mate, I can’t buy it and sell it!” Any chance of getting back there and having a better look on a lift at the underside damage? Great channel content. 👍👍🍻
Agreed...Seller is basically saying "Let's see how clueless you are"....
Im all smiles by watching you guys have fun !! Love the content , love the channel , greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 👋🌴
Great to see you back at the Nurburgring and amazing to see you complete it this time!
Mat has to be the best car rebuild KZheadr out there now, I've watched goonzquad for years but Mat beats them big time👌
Goonzquad are budget mat armstrong, proper cowboys
@@ultra1obscene yeah super budget. I used to watch goonzquad but they got so repetitive. Like how mat keeps it fresh with different types of rebuild and also explains things that can be complex.
I love Matt's content just wish he would put more time into details so it actually gets done 100% all of his builds are like 95% done . Idk maybe it's just my ocd but clips screws and bolts are missing from all of his cars
@@mikibajrektarevic2543yh hence why things break in his videos 😢
@@jmandagamer not the sharpest tools in the box either and spend far too much time talking about crap.
What an inspiring lad! Best wishes!
Hey Matt, again your vids keep getting better. This one had me on edge what a thriller..watching you on the track ! Awesome driving. Hope you can Nick the Porsche what a build that would be.
Watching Matt laughing the whole lap makes me smile all day love it the enjoyment.
can we just say how well the rs3 did considering it’s a small car it was not far behind majority of the time, well done Audi 🎉
That's what happens when you don't put all the bolts back in! 😂😂😂
best youtube chanel ever!!! Mat vibes are the best, this man is full of skills.
Love the insight keep up the good work bro
Mat, I have so much admiration for what you do. From all the cars to the video editing, you do a great job!
I think anything under 110k - 130k Euro might be worth considering. It looks like about 40k in damages. I think they are roughly 220 - 280 for low miles, no damage depending on the config.
Love seeing you and your buds hanging out for a laugh, I smiled the whole way. At the right price...only you know what that is...get it or keep looking for a right-hand drive as you do over there on your little island, lol.
loving the video, for me id love to see you rebuild another gt3, however what i think you should do once its done is rent a garage out in Germany to keep it in and then you have the perfect ring car for when you go out there. plus you could even rent it out for track days and its another source of income?
Barry should know better than taking a car on track that bikes also share. leaking fluid is a killer for bike riders, there have been so many instances there where riders have been killed with fluid dropped.

Love this second channel, like Hanging out with your mates. Great work Mat
I wasn’t even in the car with you 2 and I was having fun like I was actually there. Can’t wait to see if you get that GT3. Love all your videos. Keep up the good work
Matt nice drive but I noticed alot of understeer in agressive corners- to avoid that especially on nürburgring- you need to so to say throw car into corners - for that u need to agressively steer mega slightly to the opposite way of the turn right before it and then right away same aggressively towards the turn. Best track in the world, Im 38 and I started studying this track on a simulators since I was 14 got onto the track for the first time when I was 20
Nurburgring is so Sick , i love it !!! Great video Mat 👍
Man you know your thing if most car repairers were as you, I don't think we could be running fast for new cars man. You know your thing!
I wish I knew you were in Belgium, would love to meet you and see one of your projects irl! Keep it up, keep spreading your love for cars!
I keep forgetting how many awesome cars you have rebuilt matt ! And it keeps getting better, keep it up lad your smashing it👍
This was wholesome to watch you enjoying the fruits of your labour!!! 🙌🏽🫵🏽📈
Thank you for sharing the ring footage- serious bucket list to drive on it had to watch twice lol and of course we wanna see more Porsche content- the Porsche dealers are so cool and how they work with you
Awesome news to hear of the potential of getting another Porsche 🙂 Great driving, that track looks scary as.
Love seeing Mat run his builds on the Nurb!
That was amazing!! You’re definitely my favourite youtube car guy. I think that was one of the best videos ever. Watching you track that Porsche that you built with your bare hands was epic. Im a huge fan of the Gran Turismo PS games, and this felt like i was in the game! 😂 Sooo Amazing!! Cant wait for the M5 content. Im a big BMW fanboy 😁
14:14 its ace watching you guys have fun. Its like were all there with you😂
For me this is the best KZhead channel out there cannot get enough of it, have not laughed so much
Mat as ever an amazing video and as someone who has done a few laps at the green well well done amazing laps! Good luck with the GT3 offer
Cant do anything else but smile when watching your laps mate! Id love for you boys to fix up that GT3, give them a decent offer keeping in mind what it will sell for when its done.
That is some driving mate. Love your enthusiasm and hard work. Would be great to do a drive with Misha. You driving and then letting misha drive it Love to get your both views
U 💯 have to buy rebuild that race car mat!! It’s currently just taking up space at RSR and if you look into the price per day that car will have been making for track days I am sure it’s more than paid for itself by now 😉 Hence the reason why they haven’t rebuilt it it’s more than likely been settled on the Insurance and is now a paperweight to them. Taking into account uk prices for them cars are higher than Europe and it’s a right hand drive in left hand land it’s ideal for export and a really good idea if you can get it at a competitive price as all the plus sides are too your advantage, after all who wants a right hand drive damage repairable in Europe outside of the track event days 🤔👍😎
Brilliant video. Good luck with the GT3. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
what a driver, beautiful car great driving, Matt you have absolutely stunned me. that was insane
Always looking for your vids the best keep it up bro
I adore your dedication Mat! Hard working, yet still fun and a little bit on the crazy side. My favorite channel, your videos are very entertaining and I also learn a lot. Thank you
Matt you have become my favorite youtuber im always looking forward to the new content, and you've been dropping them consistently, you got them on a schedule, also love the quality too, they goes on my tv. Anyways keep doing your thing brother, much love from Arizona, pura finikera.
I appreciate that!
You’re right Mat, memories like track days at the Nuremberg ring are priceless!
Great couple of laps. You must have spent some time on the SIM. What SIM did you use? Great video can't wait for next one on both channels. Keep up the good work and loving life!!!!
Love your energy man. You are inspirational
👏👏 Well done Mat, that was a 'balls out' lap!!
That looked like fun! I'll be too nervous to be able to enjoy this myself. That voice in your head constantly going 'what if'.
The spa building, I’ve seen it on social media videos forever, so cool to see what it’s actually like!
Please buy it, I was gutted but at the same time happy that Freddie got the Porsche, this one will be a cake walk for you Matt, subject to the power unit is ok 😉
Great vid. Standing around on the hard shoulder like that is scary though!
Love the behind scenes.. I'd love to see how you edit. Tips and tricks 😊
from the LZ porche to the next this is just getting better keep it up mat👍
Had me smiling with you boys on the 2nd lap :D enjoyed this video Matt.
the pure joy when you caught up with all the other porsches, what a cool experience brotha
