This is unusual for such a well known auto journalist to let it rip, but he did anyway..........

Of the current crop of auto journalists, Chris Harris is by far, one of the best out there. He's a real hotshoe as well. And yes he loves Porsches.

Did you see that awesome green machine rep RS he built a few years ago?

Cheers,

Cliff

yep..I have met him and spent a long evening over beers last June..a great guy. The Ferrari article is going to be a big deal, I suspect. I recall the rep RS indeed!

great article. he doesn't really rip into their cars, he actually praises them, just rips into their press machine.

I get the feeling they don't treat most of their customers very well either.

Good for him, which other Journalist will have the intestinal fortitude to corroborate his story, probably none.

Speaking of Intestinal fortitude, who's going to be the first one to post this on Ferrarichat.

When you have Clarkson coming over to the Darkside and 'loving' (his words on his new DVD - 'The Itallian Job') the new GT3RS - then something truely astounding is happening! The man simply GUSHES about the 2011 model. Have worlds banged together while I wasn't looking? Now this guy...

Or is everyone else finally figured out what everyone around here already knows? Call them all late to the party but at least they showed up!

The web is a wonderful place. I posted a link to the original article on Pistonheads in the UK, someone photoshopped the mannetino to add the Press button, and by this afternoon, Jalopnik had published the pic from Pistonheads......

We should get Juliana to join Ferrari chat, and post this, for a Three-peat.
