The Chris Harris thread

[Mr Burns]

He was at our track day yesterday.
Possibly the most rude and obnoxious man I've ever stood next to.
And he's proper short.

I fear you're about to shatter my dream... I've always wanted to meet him, until now...?

 

[dajones]

Amazing roads, he didn't seem to be pushing that as he normally would.

 

[Scrooge]

I hope you called him a little c**t?

There's always been something about him I've never liked.

 

[Christopher.]

Was a nice bloke when we met him at LeMans.

 

[Ian_182]

Probably didn't want to bother with peasants or the unwashed on that particular day...

 

[Daniel]

One if the guys there said "oh he's got a lot on his mind at the moment"

Haven't we all?? But surely if you're invited to an event, either show up and put some effort in or don't bother coming?
I was actually quite excited to be stood where I was and he just looked at me like 'wtf are you looking at fat boy'.

Oh well. His loss. I'm awesome.

 

[Mr Burns]

Well it's a weak week for Harris... RM Auctions advert by any chance?





:sleeping:

 

[Christopher.]

I really like the RM auction videos.

 

[Ian_182]

Cool video's of auction and the 110 SS what a car.

 

[Scrooge]

I enjoyed those two videos even though they are blatent advertisements.

Funny you say that because I genuinely get that impression in some of his videos where he's interacting with others.

 

[chris_p]

I like Chris Harris's car reviews, we enjoy the same thing in cars.
But I don't think he's a nice guy, I think Daniel is spot on. Strikes me as a guy that was bullied at school as he quietly digested car book statistics instead of making friends.

 

[JoeyD]

Wow.

 

[Jack-C]

Incredible!

A fantastic video and three truly amazing cars.

 

[Stefan.]

P1 for me

God i would love one!!!

 

[N0ddie]

Gotta laugh at the YT comments regarding the P1s "illegal" track mode. Times are set on a track so whats the issue?

 

[Advikaz]

I'm not really surprised the P1 was found to be fastest over a lap.

if I was in the market for a car like that, it's probably what i'd have.

But then if I had that kind of money, i'd save the pennies and break the bank for an F1.

 

[Matt W]

Epic video, can't even imagine just how much fun the last bit of the video was!

 

[leeds_182]

P1 for me out of that bunch!

 

[Smiffyboy1990]

Can't wait to watch this after work

I'd have the Ferrari out of them all though.

 

[browno]

Wow - that was an awesome film! I think that I agree with the conclusions really, three amazing cars that all achieve a similar result through very different engineering, and that makes it all the better.
I think I'd have to have the P1 though - if for the looks and the turbo-nutter noise alone!

 

[Advikaz]

Yeah the turbo sounds epic, like an old group b car.

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Awesome video, the jealousy is strong!

P1 for me, it just looks 100% amazing! The Ferrari's wheels are abit naff and the Porsche just doesn't really float my boat looks wise... All incredible machines nevertheless.

 

[Matt W]

The 918 is so much better in one colour with no silly graphics on it.

 

[Cookie]

Probably one of the best car related pieces I've seen in a long time

 

[Matt W]

Yes please.

 

[Ian_182]

What a great video and a cracking day for all involved, I doubt it will ever happen again for them.

P1 then La Ferrari then Porsche for me please.

 

[ForceIndia]

These days, the f1 is in a different stratosphere. Think you could buy all 3, twice over for less than an f1!

 

[182Trophy]

A cracking watch that. Amazing cars indeed. What is mad though is that the one:1 has almost twice the power to weight as all of them. It must be bonkers quick.

 

[Norbury90]

I'm amazed they managed to reach a reasonable outcome in relation to the tyres. Amusing to hear that Ferrari had still made the effort to go out there 2 weeks before to see what's what before they let the journos in there...

Love the circuit too, great layout!

 

[RDH]

Not sure what I enjoy most, seeing the cars or seeing the genuine sense of enjoyment/amazement/disbelief on Harris' face every time he drives an amazing car. Incredibley lucky to do what he does but I think he appreciates that more than anyone else.

And Laf for me.

 

[ForceIndia]

P1. Or the 918. Or the P1.

P1. It's nuts in the flesh. Looks like H R Giger designed it.

 

[aucky]

My head appreciates the 918, my heart admires the Ferrarri, but seeing the P1 drift around just gets me so excited.

If it was my money and I had to have one, I think I'd sway towards the Ferrari at the last second.


Also, Harris says he's giving this up? As in, motor journalism?

 

[Ian_182]

Yeh I heard him say that.
Wonder what he's doing next.

 

[ForceIndia]

Yeh I heard him say that.
Wonder what he's doing next.

Flol. He said to the mclaren bloke something like "in giving this up soon. This was just a blag. There's not even a memory card in the cameras"

Think that may have been a joke

 

[Ian_182]

I do hope so, I think he's really good.

 

[brohoward71]

How hard did that look for Tiff. He looked proper stressed. Loved the video tho

 

[Ian_182]

Tiff did say how s**t he dressed but how well he drives.

 

[Munson]

Really great video. Don't care which is fastest or 'better'. Just a nice film enjoying three serious machines.

I quite like the vibe with these three guys. I'm hoping to see them doing more stuff together.

 

[-Simon]

Saw it was 52 mins long and was amazed as it seemed like only 15 mins as it flew by as I was so engrossed. Have liked Harris since his days on Autocar and then Evo. Needles grates a little tbh but this definitely fills the void since Top Gear has been off air. Awesome cars the lot of them. I would take the P1 tho given the choice and I love Porsches so that says a lot.
