Alfaholics GTA-R vs Tuthill Porsche 911 SCRS | Chris Harris Presents Llandow Laps

[@hondansx1000]

I will never get over that intake noise from the Alfa...ugh it just sounds sooo good.

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

It is the absolute definition of an eargasm, a sound that I can never get tired of.

[@superchickensoup]

Retropower did a Alfa with a Millington Diamond engine in it, the customers remit was it must be able to beat anything with a M badge around a track

[@Daredevil311-g9l]

Can I just burst your lil happiness bubble. Imagine in a few years time there will be less glorious intake noise n more wwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....🤕🤕🤕🤕

[@collectingcars]

It's very very special!

[@elazotacunaos4752]

Naturally aspirated intake sounds are underrated

[@amyjeffs3269]

Dont really know where we would be without Chris Harris, for the true motorsport enthusiast .He truly is, the ultimate motoring journalist.

[@derekharrison848]

Brilliant series, who needs Top Gear on the BBC when this exists. Well done Chris Harris and Collecting Cars

[@4youtu909]

Couldn't agree more

[@aymansalameh3701]

👍👍

[@markwalton8644]

Kind of Glad Chris is not on Top Gear! Followed Chris from EVO and he really sweats Petrol😅 This is his Bread And Butter, being him, enjoying Driving and not having to Prat about !!

[@collectingcars]

Thank you! Means a lot. Takes a while to get these series off the ground, but glad it's finding it's fans!

[@Andy_Holbrook332]

@@collectingcarsit’s great stuff guys. Really appreciated

[@simonBAGL]

That induction noise of that Alfa gives me goosebumps. If you prefer an ev over that you don’t have a soul and you must hate driving.

[@bugattieb110ss]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKjPZWOOe9ujgqc All this from a pinto with a Warrior head on it...! Sounds just as good, if not better.

[@tommeiner9983]

@@bugattieb110ss We get it, you're British and you like Escorts. Too bad they don't have even 1% of the soul and pedigree that an Alfa has.

[@sydwellsithole4433]

That little alfa is the holy grail of distilled driving pleasure 🙆🏽‍♂️

[@Daredevil311-g9l]

With a full carbon body aswell 🥺

[@paulm6397]

So, have you driven one?

We couldn't agree more!

[@chriswestcott4548]

The Tuthill is a thing of beauty and definitely on the lotto win list but my God that Alfaholics GTA-R is just incredible. The GOAT Chris Harris in his element. Love this current series

[@collectingcars]

Glad you're enjoying!

[@jerehada]

Just wish it would stop ☔

[@mattmcnulty7191]

Yes, I wish they could revisit that in the dry. I'm pretty sure the result would be very very different and the Alfa would come out on top... both stunning cars, of course....

[@Adrianmgs97]

It's hard to put into words how much the bloopers and behind-the-scenes sections help make these videos feel so real and organic, genuinely makes you feel like you're around with the team! The contrast between Chris' presenting voice and normal talking/explaining stuff or just fooling around voice is great. Some of the best content ever, thanks a lot!

[@andrewhenry1419]

I just really want to say, the bits of "filming of this video" interwoven with the actual video is so, so refreshing and feels so *real* in a way that other automotive videos simply haven't done. Really wise and unique choice, keep pushing the art form lads!

[@collectingcars]

Thanks for the feedback, means a lot. Glad you're enjoying!

[@rossgrimson972]

Yes I'll second that. Chris and co...the real deal.

[@elyuw]

@@rossgrimson972Yeah I'll third it, much more natural feeling.

[@max_h98]

Absolutely loving this series. Collecting cars x Harris and the film team, they know exactly what content we want and put together some fantastic stuff

[@malamar467]

I cannot think of a single car I would rather own than that Alfa. Absolutely magnificent.

[@cinch]

There are lots of car videos on YT, but only a small number make you want to stop what you're doing and go for a drive. This is one of them.

[@scottmatthew9605]

I don't care what anyone says the Alfaholics GTA-R is the best restomod ever made. You can keep your Singers your Tuthills and your Eagles, it is automotive PERFECTION.

[@filipegil8752]

Amén!

[@3ducs]

Although those Eagles are beautiful cars.

[@James-pl2oy]

And I don’t think many actual car enthusiasts would disagree with you on this one 😂 Singers to me are more like works of art than true performance cars

[@cvillalobos27]

When I have the money, I will have one of each. It is not a zero sum game

[@mitchsanderson8206]

Maybe check out the MST MK1 Escort before saying it’s the best 😉

[@Carrera-gp9od]

Best episode yet , two utterly gorgeous cars .

[@collectingcars]

It was the last run of the day...but so glad you guys enjoyed it!

[@meanredspider]

I race a step-nose Giulia (with lots of Alfaholics bits) and can empathise with Chris over the traction challenge - and I have “only” 200bhp and weigh 830kg. Often out-qualify more powerful Porsches only to be out-dragged off the line. People often comment on my engine note too - so iconic. And the Giulia just looks amazing from every angle.

[@kings3803]

These videos should be getting millions of views as they are tv quality productions.

[@collectingcars]

Share it far and wide 🙏🙏

[@sfemsfem]

Just read that reply in Edward’s voice …

[@davidmclean8423]

What a privilege to be in either of these stunning motors! Best one so far. “Hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have”…. no Chris Harris, of course we haven’t… you got to drive these beasts! But it was still chuffing enjoyable to watch though! Top marks all.

[@mikearend997]

Great episode... still hoping for some dry track days.

[@steveong4738]

Great video. We need more videos like this on Alfa Romeos.

[@daveblanchard2258]

Absolutely fantastic content. Very enjoyable to watch. Chris's presenting is so natural, down to earth and entertaining.

[@IS300Spartan]

I’ve been absolutely loving Llandow laps ! MORE PLEASE

[@Lou-f]

If you can afford the Alfa, you can afford both 😁 Great series 👏🏻

[@BigCarKilla]

After top gear, I never felt video production could be bettered. And then Harris and team come out with this stunningly casual, and yet utmost professional production. Bravo, all.

[@Vision_3030]

There are some seriously desirable restomods out there including the Tuthill, but none are nearly as pretty as the Alfa.

[@automotivetales]

This series has been an absolute joy to watch! Its beautifully shot, wonderfully unscripted, amazing cars, a great little track, some excellent induction and exhaust noises, and even some fun behind the scenes bits. And the funny little bloke from Bristol looks to be having fun to boot! Great work Chris and the Collecting Cars team. The best automotive videos on KZbin by a country mile. Massive Porsche fan... 6-cylinder engine noise pervert... but that i4 in the Alfa is nothing less that rawkus! LOVE IT!!

[@tornado1598]

Brilliant as always, the 911 is beautiful but that Alfa is something else.

[@seandavie3672]

The Alfa 105 is an absolute little gem. Once affordable just a few short years ago, but still a slightly underrated classic Italian coupe. Grab one why you can!

[@howardlake6178]

Never, as a dyed in the wool Alfa lover, did I think I’d consider a Porsche over an Alfa. But on cost, the Porsche has it, and despite the induction noise of the Alfa, so does the crackle on the overrun. I need a lie down 😂

[@turbowankel1264]

Great to see the appreciation to the crew it takes to make these videos. 🎉

[@MrOrtmeier]

Much better Chris. No second hand car sales just solid driving of two legends on a challenging track and loads of fun and eye candy. One of the best videos you've done in a long while. Cheers

[@Retrobeemer]

*This is definitely one for headphones!*

[@Retrobeemer]

*So much for 4 pots sounding pants!*

[@Dominari66]

Got cans on 😂

[@neildaniel8232]

Been waiting for this one. I was picking my mate up from the warehouse next to the track that day and got there to hear the Alfa going round, it sounds absolutely amazing even from a distance. Lottery win car for definite.

[@ruf930porsche]

Hands down, the best Car channel on KZbin!

🤜🤛

[@TheCluelessEnthusiast]

That alfa would have to be one of the best sounding 4 cylinders i have ever heard

[@E36_Billy]

Please can we have a purely Alfa on board lap uploaded with the induction sound

[@JonathanAdriaenssens]

What a superb series. I’m a Porsche a Holic but that Alfa is stunning.

[@Retirement_Life]

Cracking series! More, please….👏👏👏

[@stevegreene9149]

Both stunning cars and hard to choose! The 911 would probably get the nod from me as a Pcar fan. But that Alfa is so beautiful, so elegant and that induction roar.... Love your work Chris and the team.

[@yakub3962]

We want more Tuthill 911K content PLEASE ❤️❤️❤️

[@andrewwalton-smith8018]

Great video and overlays and I love the behind the scenes additions of the crew.

[@robbs808]

Definitely agree, out of the whole line up you have there the Alfaholics car is the one for me 😍

[@darcos7535]

Nobody does a fast hot lap better (while narrating) than Chris.

[@somebloke2238]

It's really about time Chris bought an alfaholics

[@munger2k]

Any time I'm reminded of the Alfaholics GTA-R I feel compelled to watch Chris throwing one around in a previous Chris Harris Drives / Top Gear Link for the uninitiated (as if there are any) kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3PYi6CAotWHms0

[@edmurth]

I might have had a crisis watching the Alfa driving round 😍

[@smgw15]

thoroughly enjoyed llandow laps, really good content, love the behind the scenes parts, adds a comedic twist. Brilliant. Plus we get to see Harris doing what he does best

[@ArthurZakaryan23]

If i owned that Alfa, I would literally have the biggest grin plastered on my face till my dying days, enjoying every second of it. What a machine!! (In Chris's voice lol)

[@ph1lthyvision]

Keep it coming!! Loving this series! Great comparison here, but that Alfa is just so amazing. Credit to Tuthill, but ill take the Alfa for 500 grand thanks.

[@jaynuck]

When I first got into cars, back in the early-mid 2000’s, I thought the best automotive noises were the Zonda, F430 and Enzo, or the Carrera GT. Now that I’m old and jaded…give me the intake snarl of that Alfa any day. That’s so beautiful.

[@martinrockport2485]

That Tuthill is the bollox and we all knew it would be... but that Alfa is fackin' rude. Love it. Love it. Love it. More Landau Laps please, Chris. Top Gear and The Grand Tour could learn a thing or two from you, Boss.

[@fb30xhk]

It said somewhere recently that there’s now a 9 years waiting list for the GTA

[@omgitsabloodyandroid5161]

Has there ever been a dry track there?

[@overbuiltlimited]

No kidding! Place makes Seattle look like a sunny paradise. Just awful.

[@Michael45P]

Brilliant! Including the team in the shots is super cool!

[@zilspeed]

Nothing much beats a 4 cylinder with one throttle per cylinder and wild cam profile. You can keep exhaust sound, I'll have NA intake roar every time.

[@29speedman]

Brilliant short series. We need more please. I rewatched Chris on TG when he did his piece on McRaes 95 Impreza, any chance of some more videos like that. Lots of great period footage qnd history with some hot laps from the maestro at the end.

[@pwilsonkelly]

I'll take the Alfa ANYDAY!!! 60s-70s sound. My Dad's Cortina MKII sounded like the Alfa. Brings me back to my early intros to cars.

[@gabrielbarcellos1036]

Perfeito a forma como a produção se envolve, bem mais orgânico e animado que muitos canais que eu vejo por aí

[@SilentRacer911]

Is it just me or do these slow time down, such beauty, information, and skill wrapped into an episode that feels like 20 minutes… but it’s only a bit short on 13

[@s10lucky]

Brilliant, as always. As said in the comments. It feels like we are there.

[@jonnyabba25]

Without doubt my favorite Laps episode by far.

[@3ducs]

The Alfa for me all day. Back in the 1990s I parted out a South African GT Jr, I've regretted it ever since.

[@shaneeardley5269]

I had a perfectly drivable 73 GTV 2000, and I sold it for almost nothing 😢I guess that like most of them from here (SA too), it ended up making its way to the UK

[@3ducs]

@@shaneeardley5269 We all have things we've sold that haunt us. I wish that GT Jr was in my walk-out basement on a rotisserie being restored. And that I had the money to throw all the Alfaholics goodies at it. I have the crazy idea to modify a GTV with an Alfetta transaxle, that would give it a 50/50 weight distribution and low unsprung weight. I had an Alfetta and a Milano, both handled very well.

[@3ducs]

@@shaneeardley5269 I'm in the US, not SA, the car was from South Africa. Don't know how it got to the US.

[@nagylevi3827]

Sacrilege! Running that Alfa in wet British weather and NOT coated in Alfa red is unforgivable! Other than that, amazing video and absolutely brilliant cars. Great work, gents.

[@JBMountainSkills]

Don't care about the times, the Alfa, all day long.

[@dylanh1978]

Theres such a thing as cars being too nice and me wanting them too much, and these are an example of that. They hurt me because i don't have them and theyre so nice.

[@paulclark3]

Awesome work Chris and team - thank you for Llandow Laps - great craic 😍

[@daveb2205]

That Alfaholcis exists is reason enough for me to buy lottery tickets..

Great way to start a weekend morning, how could you not be in a good mood after watching this video?

[@matthewkimpton4865]

Wonderful series Chris and the team. Good god that Alfa 😅😋 thanks for the entertainment.

[@garethmcrae668]

Let's test a couple of top notch restomods in the pissing wet in Wales- their owners sure as hell won't... Still I watch because: Chris Harris. Next, motorbikes in the snow!

[@philwratt1375]

Is it always wet on this track? Does the sun ever shine?

[@samwhatley2834]

great video again - thank you guys

[@secretsquirrel3793]

Mr Harris has some serious minerals throwing that Porsche around so confidently in the sopping wet. I know Mr Tuthill & Co can develop a very sound motor vehicle but by golly...

[@NotAcvp3lla]

I really love the approach you guys take to presentation. The mix between the behind-the-scene/blooper reel and the interactions with the film crew is quite different different but much appreciated. I've been loving the series so far, keep it up guys job well done. 👍🏽

[@fritzmuller8246]

I've got 5 gt Juniors , 2 Giulias and a one off round back spider , a GTV 6 and alfa sud Sprint Veloce . I've also got a mint 928 and 944 and Mk1 and MK 2 ford escorts with 400 hp a piece . The Trick GT juniors are way and beyond my favorites.

[@ruediger78]

Two absolute dream cars in my book. Thankfully i think i will never need to make a decision between the too and i will just continue to wrestle my solid axle defnder around corners 😁😉 Still a blast to watch 🎉

[@stanmarks3950]

Does it ever not rain @ this circuit ? What's the deal with all those caravans near by ? The alfa is delish.

[@davecom3]

I think all of the videos posted so far were done on the same day. Shots of the Merc and Aston at the start makes me think they were morning time along with the M5 etc

[@super8hell]

It's near Cardiff of course it'll rain horizontally. As racetracks have some spare space, storing caravans supports the upkeep. No-one will complain about the looks while caning a go kart.

[@anthonysaquinoworld839]

Both cars are amazing and beautiful 💯😜

JUST what a yank needed on a cool misty Sunday morning. . .

[@mikerayner5938]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@jimiverson3085]

Chris has been over the moon every time he drives an Alfaholics car. If he hasn't already, he really needs to add one to his garage - save a couple of quid and get a steel bodied one. On the lap, when a 911 squats down on its rear to accelerate out of a corner, it just isn't fair.

[@Petestleger]

What I'd like at the end of this is not the numbers, but which one stirred Chris's heart. Out of each group, which one would he actually want to own?

[@Voncid]

Yes Chris realy enjoyed the comparison between the two. As a matter of fact been waiting for you to do it for a year or so since you did the comparison on the other Alfa a couple of years ago. John Norman racing here in Albany California is a shop I think you would very much enjoy with old English shop setting that been that way forever, and there a Alfa shop that does engines for National race teems in Formula Atlantic, at lest the last time was in there a few years ago, they were still there.

[@delk5024]

Another brilliant video. Pity the track was wet. Would love to see them around Spa.

[@grumpy9478]

I've had over 10 Alfas, 10 BMWs & 5 Porsches ... '59 to '96 models. selecting a favorite among them all is pretty much a religious issue. however, Chris pointed to an over-arching truth - a light sports car w/ a zippy motor & fine-resolving, consistent handling is what makes driving a classic sports car a spiritual pleasure.

[@JB-996]

What a great video!

[@angeloah]

Great work dude, damn fine.
