hugh Posted 6December, 2019 Report Share Posted 6December, 2019 I've been listening to more and more Podcasts whilst working lately and I often listen to Matt Farah (AKA. The Smoking Tyre). This popped up yesterday and I thought it was worth sharing. Chris Harris always has something valuable to say and I very much enjoy his ramblings, especially when then inevitably get onto Porsche! Chuck on the headphones and enjoy! Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 9December, 2019 Report Share Posted 9December, 2019 Chris Harris’s Collecting Cars podcasts are pretty good, we’ve just listened to the whole lot on our drive to / from WA. Well worth downloading. DavidW•GT3• and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 10December, 2019 Report Share Posted 10December, 2019 3rd'ed. He is quite articulate and isn’t afraid to make fun of himself. He has also gone out on a limb a number of times telling it how it is such as being banned by Ferrari for quite a while for calling them out on press car set up. I know the 4.0 purchase at the time came very near to sending him under but he did it anyhow. To me he is very much a car guy and not just a journalist and that comes across in his hart felt passion. He can peddle a bit too I guess. DavidW•GT3•, hugh and MFX 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit like Tiff Needell in that respect and if you haven’t had a listen to the collecting cars chat between the 2 of them it is well worth the time, same with the chat with Harry M. I still remember Chris’ winter hibernation video with that 4.0... beautiful to watch hugh and Barks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His chat with Richard Porter was quite amusing when they talked of his early days. RP was at the same school as me, couple of years below and even then I can remember him being quite sparky hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidW•GT3• Posted 21December, 2019 Report Share Posted 21December, 2019 I really miss Chris Harris's online content pre Top Gear. A real car enthusiast and not afraid to express an opinion. He's a massive Porsche fan too which helps... Mike-S and itsujack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 21December, 2019 Report Share Posted 21December, 2019 Unless he’s bought another one in the last year, that black touring was written off after some clown did a u bolt on a blind bend near his house. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-46193783 hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsujack Posted 22December, 2019 Report Share Posted 22December, 2019 Chris just bought another GT3 Touring. Listen from 1:10:05 "It's the best all round sports car of my testing generation, it's the only car I really want!"

spiller Posted 23December, 2019 Report Share Posted 23December, 2019 Listened to this one the other day, generally try to lap up anything Chris Harris is involved with. CH Collecting Cars podcast is excellent, just wish they released more often. I don’t dislike Matt Farrah and swearing doesn’t offend me but fucking fuck every two sentences makes him sound pretty thick.
