The Chris Harris thread

[Mr Burns]

That's a proper Chris Harris video.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Was just going to post this, thought I'd better check first. Brilliant vid that, pure grunt cars going for it.

 

[George182]

Really excellent video.

Chris is a fantastic motoring journalist.

 

[jam.]

 

[Cliotoby]

Didnt expect the Porsche to get rinsed like that.

Then I guess the 12C is a different league....

 

[Munson]

The 12c is significantly lighter, and is pushing an extra hundred or so horsepower. Not exactly a surprise defeat once they were rolling. Not that it really matters. People don't buy super cars to win races on runways.

 

[Mr Burns]

Neither of those excited me much, not sure what I'd rather have though.

 

[Munson]

I'd take the Porsche on winter tyres.

 

[Mr Burns]

Actually I wouldn't mind an overpriced black Punto.

 

[jam.]

 

[Matt Cup]

 

[Ian_182]

What a really well thought out piece of design.

 

[Stevo!]

By far the nicest Porsche imo. Strange idea with the steering but I wouldn't turn it down because of it lol.

 

[Gally]

It's far behind the P1 sadly.

 

[Budgie]

It's far behind the P1 sadly.

Why is that sad?

 

[Daz.]

I love Harris the more I see him!

 

[Sam@NP]

It's far behind the P1 sadly.

Certainly not true for the drivetrain.

P1 is ahead in the aero stakes however.

Saw a P1 testing a MIRA recently, I was doing 120mph on the bowl and it rattled passed at an almighty pace.

proper cars

 

[Sam@NP]

£100k for that bimmer is a lot!

I used to love this sector of the car industry but I just find its tiresome now.

 

[Ash']

I'm really liking the new fast Merc's at the moment. One can only wish.

I dunno, my bosses E63 AMG is a right event just sat their idling outside the office lol!!

M6 for me though, the package is just well, lovely.

XFR-S looks much better in stealth colour/small spoiler spec imho:

 

[ColinG]

Those wheels on the jaguar are some of tbe worst I've ever seen!

The M6 Gran coupe is the absolute cream of the current BMW line up IMO.

 

[Eddie.]

E63 for me all day long.

 

[leeds_182]

Love the BMW.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

BMW every time.

Wouldn't touch the Merc with a barge pole. And the Jag is an old man's car.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I quite liked the Jag.

 

[George182]

I really like the jag too!

Why any non American would buy a corvette is beyond me.

 

[Mr Burns]

If it were my money and had to pick between the two, I'd definitely have the Corvette with a stickshift and bank the change.

 

[l33th3tr33]

Why any non American would buy a corvette is beyond me.

As long as it's not a porsche I don't care what it is, I'd rather have it.

 

[Matt W]

Would be awesome if we could actually get the corvette here for £36k

 

[Cookie]

Why any non American would buy a corvette is beyond me.

I would have one

 

[...]

Because performance per £ its untouchable .... i have driven them in the states and here and i love them ... but then i owned a 72. Would i chose one over a 911 no ... but they are not in the same price bracket

 

[Al_G]

I'd love a vette.

 

[Jason_E]

I had a similar view on 'Vettes until my friend got a C6 a couple of years ago. Now I've been in one, I totally get the appeal. It's just a complete thug in the best way possible.

 

[Mr Burns]

 

[sparey]

Awesome car but far from his best video in my opinion. Worthy of more than 4 minutes.

 

[182Trophy]

I don't know if this has been posted before but his reactions to the car are very rarely seen! It shows how mad the thing is! Don't know if it put on a bit by him but I doubt it.
