The Chris Harris thread

[newqs36]

sat shotgun with chris in the sls he had with evo. somewhat of a nutter behind the wheel!

 

[Ged]

Favourably the quote from this man "in front wheel drive terms...a bit of a weapon.." *followed by huge liftoff oversteer

 

[Nafoff]

the pagani, ugly as sin imo, but as said what a machine,

i use to dislike him for some reason (not sure why now), but i truly now think he's a great presenter

 

[Ian_182]

Once you listen in you actually get what he's trying to put across.

His honesty is what makes him,and he's also a geek.about it

 

[Mr Burns]

...And he doesn't make stupid comedy comparisons like Jeremy Clarkson. Informative car reviewing isn't so common these days, everyone's scared of bad press.

 

[welshname]

He's not a complete nerd though if you get me.

He's like your average car forum enthusiast, but more knowledgeable. He's the perfect reviewer for an audience such as ourselves, which is good, considering we're his target audience. I really wish they did a weekley TV programme with him. Would be ace.

 

[Mr Burns]

He's not exactly James May is he.

 

[MarkCup]

I love him.

He truly understands the joy of driving just for the sake of driving.

 

[Mr Rossi]

I know what you mean there

 

[Ged]

Exactly. He actually has some knoloadge behind what he says. Unlike Clarkson where he compares it to a potato or some crap.

Id watch him if he was on tv. For certain.

Love it when this thread bumps

GT2 RS <3 - Heaven on wheels. I'm not even into bikes but that Ducati is something special.

 

[Ian_182]

Bike will always have it in a drag race,

A track would be a better bet for the porsche.

 

[Matt Cup]

I do hope they put the other scenarios they mentioned to the test. Will be interesting to how they both fairthen.

 

[joe18two]

Bike was always going to win, would still have Porsche though

 

[Munson]

Love this thread!

Harris is in the zone.

 

[MarkCup]

Awesome video.

Can't wait for part 2.

 

[Russ_16v]

Would be good to see the Porka and Bike on somewhere like Bruntingthorpe, 0 - however fast you could get, to see if the Porka could pull the gap back

 

[Matt Cup]

 

[Wick]

Harris delivers.

Love that, probably have one in my Euromillions garage.

 

[jam.]

^ lovely review that. Can't help but think the GT86 could still do with a extra few ponies... As pointed out it would probably get left behind by a Clio 200.

There is a lack of RWD coupes on the market IMO, wonder how the Z4C would stack up, can't think of any other RWD contenders in that category.

 

[MarkCup]

That'll do. Decision made.

Thanks Mr Harris.

 

[welshname]

Awesome review as always. He sure knows how to pedal that GT86 around welsh roads. Mental.

 

[Russ_16v]

How does he get away publically driving like that on public roads? I never understand that bit

 

[welshname]

Because he doesn't get caught and the really naughty stuff never shows the driver

They also never show the speedo and the road at the same time so they've no idea where he was speeding (as in if it's public road) or if the antics are done on public roads or not

 

[JoeyD]

His videos just get better and better!

 

[Matt W]

Good video. Will be interesting to see what the used prices are like in a few years...

 

[kpowell911]

A forced Induced converted GT86 would be epic!

 

[Jay Payne]

That'll do. Decision made.

Thanks Mr Harris.

Dibs on a drive if you get one

 

[MarkCup]

You'll have to wait 2-3 years until I've killed the 200 first.

 

[Jay Payne]

 

[Mr Burns]

Good video. Will be interesting to see what the used prices are like in a few years...

I was thinking the same thing, I reckon a 5yr old one would be a great purchase!

 

[Dan519]

new life target, gt86 by mid 2015

 

[MarkCup]

I was thinking the same thing, I reckon a 5yr old one would be a great purchase!

Warranty will have just expired then though...better to get one at 3-4 years old I reckon, just for the notional peace of mind.

That's my plan anyway.

 

[Porkie]

I have a white one at moment actually. Where are you based?

 

[Porkie]

Totally disagree. I could watch him talk about anything and be entertained.

He's the car geek's geek.

Not to mention the fact he's insanely handy either.

agree! and so modest and down to earth. Had a beer with him at the Ring. VERY nice guy!

total car nut, proper hero of mine actually!

 

[Mr Burns]

Warranty will have just expired then though...better to get one at 3-4 years old I reckon, just for the notional peace of mind.

That's my plan anyway.

The price will drop substantially once the warranty expires though.

Based at Llandow on 26th September. Bring it instead of the Lotus, there will be one of those there for me to play with already
