Guest Nick987 Posted 26June, 2012 Report Share Posted 26June, 2012 Agreed! I like Chris Harris...like his manner and his balance. His 'matey but from a plummy school' accent. At least he isn't arrogant. Who would you rather down single malts with and talk turkey? Chris or Clarkson? Great vid by the way, thanks, enjoyed! Geez doesn't that benz sound throaty...like an HSV Munro! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 26June, 2012 Report Share Posted 26June, 2012 Agree with Nick, great vid. Love the fact that one of the cars was his own. really love the benz but for me it would be the 4.0 C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 26June, 2012 Report Share Posted 26June, 2012 I like the fact he just about sent himself broke by buying the 4.0 but did it anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nick987 Posted 27June, 2012 Report Share Posted 27June, 2012 The obvious solution would be to sell the family! For your consideration today, 1 wife, mid to late eighties model, some usage, driven around the bend at times but overall treated right, mostly long slow hwy usage, little track work, full service history, cosmetically could use a little work, undercarriage a little loose, may need new bushes and some tightening...will include 1 child, low mileage, still has factory tyres, maintained to the highest standards, quick to bring a smile to your face if treated right or will lose it at the first opportunity, can be temperamental and has propensity to induce the twisties. Reluctantly have to move them on for financial reasons as committed elsewhere... Will consider road registered, track prepped 944 Turbo as trade...

Airhead Posted 27September, 2012 Report Share Posted 27September, 2012 He says at 6.54min mark it doesn’t have much aero and wants to move about. I’m guessing he wasn’t going anywhere near quick enough. “800kgs – 650 hp. Acceleration relentless.” One lucky dude that Harris. Only man with a better job is Klaus Bischoff.
