The Chris Harris thread

[cat171]

I'm not a Chris Harris fan, but I tought that new video was very good. McLaren PP1 for me please!

Tiff driving the LaFerrari was hilarious (and not in a good way) he drives like he's never held a steering wheel before!

Bump!

Good news!

So it looks like he's also going to be doing the films he has done in the past but airing them through the top gear website. Best of both worlds IMO

Great news! I thought this weeks episode was the strongest so far. Chris Harris was great and its always nice to see the hoonicorn.

Glad to see he's getting the recognition he deserves :up:

Almighty bump. Did he ever review the 182?

Not that I'm aware of. Just the RS 200.

decent interview/video with him and Jonny Smith

Absolutely brilliant video with two properly decent car guys..

I want a CarPervert mug

Pt2 out later today was the suggestion....

 

[Short Norman]

interesting and honest bit about how the social media comments effected him

 

[gez 172]

Fantastic interview IMO. This was a proper down to earth, no bullshit - heart on sleeve.

 

[Owen]

Agreed! Bring on part two...

Why do I feel like I need glasses to watch that video?

Came to post this vid, can’t wait for the next instalment.

What makes me happy is how someone like Chris confirms your feeling it’s not all about wanting fancy new cars. I’ve got 4 older cars and love them for similar reasons and hearing someone who can afford pretty much what he wants wax lyrical about an old 205 does make you feel quite content with what you have.

All it’s done is make me want more parking space 😂

His opinions are so similar to mine my mate text me after watching it asking if l'd given him the script lol.

So you not get on with Chris Evans either 😂

Possibly not lol.

Next installment was good. Great octane based banter.

I just love how he has stayed true to his roots. Buying donor cars for running gear etc. Still happy to get it hands dirty.

Also, as said above - he can afford whatever he wants, but he said the 911 GT is the limit to what he can be bothered with on the road. Just puts it all into perspective.

Maybe my daily shitter MK1 Focus isn't that bad then [emoji23]

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I'll be the first to admit that I never used to be a Harris fan, but that was probably the best hour of YouTube I've seen in a long time.
I've warmed to him since top gear, and seeing how he is in that interview has made me realise he's a a decent bloke.

Can say the same for Jonny aswell. Used to hate him in the early fifth gear days but I quite like him now

 

[Short Norman]

Have a listen to some of his smith and sniff stuff.

Very funny car geek content.

Great watch those two parts. Wouldn't have seen it without having a look in this thread. Love how he now uses his 525 converted BMW as the family dog bus as it was cheaper than the brakes and leather on a new RS6.

I've wanted an S4 since seeing that video years ago!

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Best interview I've seen of him by some margin. He seems very reluctant to talk about himself (which is odd, as most people I know that have had anything to do with him say he's an arrogant fucker), but it was interesting to hear him talking about the cars he likes, and about his career.

 

[Short Norman]

more new CH content - not watched it yet

Sounds like he’s spent some serious money during his career

Really interesting video on EV cars & infrastructure on Topgear YouTube channel.

Watched that earlier. He made some decent points did that national grid guy.

So all the new Wind farms that we are building will generate enough electricity to power all the new EV cars.

If that’s true then great, but I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that during its lifetime a wind turbine will not produce the amount of energy that was used to manufacture it.
