Default Chris Harris On Cars

I wasn't sure if I should post this video since it has no Porsche GT content, but after watching it I was so exhilarated to go driving, I thought anyone with a love for cars & motorsports would appreciate it:


Chris Harris really is a league all his own.

I believe our man Harris had a hint of fear in his eyes a couple times! Excellent video!

The Lancia 037 is, IMHO, the sexiest competition car ever made.

Rarely a day goes by when there's not something new and interesting to read/watch from Harris. Great stuff. Follow @harrismonkey

I had to pause the video a few times because I was getting a little light headed from the sheer amount of awesome in that video.

The great thing about his videos is that he lets the cars do the talking. Another great video of some truly epic cars.

Well worth keeping an eye on the Harris Monkey Youtube list:

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL239B84BD346EEEFA

Or just subscribe to the drive user videos, then promptly delete emails notifying you of all their other crap, because it's truly mediocre drivel 90% of the time.

Here's the monkey getting into low buck fin flip fun last year I think. I don't think much came of it. I'm guessing he got a "real" gig and is living a bit high on the hog these days. And good for him. There's really not too many entertaining ... well, I was going to say "automotive journalists" but really, he's not so much journo as "color commentator who drives quite well" and I think really I can just stop at "there's really not too many entertaining bloody anything's these days ... it's all derivative 'reality' garbage or feeble copy cats of Top Gear and Fifth Gear or it's live race coverage and even that is so buried in sponsors and advertising and tame commentators, it's all shades of bland."

Enjoyment for sale, enquire within:
