Ferrari Testarossa 2000 mile road trip to the French Riviera

[@bushmanPMRR]

This is why I love this channel so much. Who else would do a 2,000 mile round trip in a Testarossa to deliver a couple of Bromptons. Harry is a legend!

[@tensevo]

I really like how you bring the viewer along with you. Almost capture the feeling of going on the trip with nice inisights and interludes. The pros and cons are well balanced and genuine. Just fantastic.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

you sir, are a legend. anybody else would have taken easy option of the range rover, but you chose to do it in style and challenge yourself by taking a beautiful classic car. well done, and utter respect to you!

[@gjorgji9339]

Haha i dont think that this was actually a hard choice

[@snuppssynthchannel]

Good to see you here Woody.

[@GetUpFalcon]

"Fark it's a bit cold in here darl. Think I'll PARTIALLY COVER THE RADIATOR WITH A FUCKING BROCHURE to warm the engine up a bit."

[@assylyacine1523]

What you're doing is great. Driving these cars and sharing them with people is massively important. Not enough owners drive their cars regularly for long distances (which is what they were designed to do!) Good on you Harry

[@DrBreezeAir]

So nice to see these legends being properly used. Honestly I'd loose the spare to spare the interior. I think nobody is interested in shots of cars sliding and looking glamorous and presenters going on about the figures. What's really interesting is what these rare fantastic cars are like in a regular day to day use. It's right there you realize that owning these is an adventure every time you drive them out of your garage. Thank you Harry for posting!

[@therealboofighter]

DrBreezeAir I like cars sliding around sideways.

What's better about classics is Grand Touring, the lifestyle, cruising in style and touring beautifull places, lowkey ! Good cars, good places, good food, c'est ça la vie !

[@rxcdeath1]

i hear MR2's go sideways :)

[@stevenfarrington2361]

+DrBreezeAir Exactly right! Screw the drifting, let's see more road trips to unique places in unique cars.

[@Oromanowar]

The original posted made my sentiment clear exactly, why buy beautiful cars if you aren't going to use them? I would really enjoy having a testarossa and driving down the countryside or taking a nice long tour through the french riviera. Maybe one day.

[@my31and37]

Surely this is the only Ferrari that's ever hauled an outboard 1000 miles..Respect!

[@getchasome6230]

Bet it's not the first one to haul 14 bottles of champagne tho.

[@radicaIized]

Nope, there’s an Enzo with 1k+ miles

[@clansman89]

This is like Top Gear at it's best but he did it with fraction of the price. British gentleman in his best years, touring in a nice car with some problems and booze!

[@1SaG]

LOL, yeah. Of course, it doesn't have nearly enough "pie-in-the-face"- or "presenter-falling-down-a-flight-of-stairs"-gags to qualify for current TG/GT... ;)

[@thierrybudts6687]

clsman89 life is good yeehaa greetz

[@getchasome6230]

Did you notice he was speeding when he passed the speed limit radar sign? Lmmmmfao. This bloke probably even enjoys the smell of uncatalyticalized (is that even a word?) exhaust.

[@garyreams8123]

It's not just the price of Ferrari's etc,....it's the price of maintenance. You just can't stop off at the local Chevy or Ford dealer for a quick fix.

[@petermainwald6413]

Dear Harry.. Not sure if you will ever see this since this is a bit old of a video but I want to personally thank you for getting me up off my arse and enjoying my cars and not worrying about miles and where and how.. just drive and enjoy. You have awoken something inside of me that I will forever be thankful of. Cheers!! Peter

[@ImLeuff]

Roadtrip with a boat engine and gallons of wine in a Testarossa = simply brilliant

[@crmercer6407]

this is what its really about... :-)

[@XaviSpit]

This man is a boss ;)

[@zaheer4024]

I would LOVE to see more videos like this one!

[@MB-rn6gh]

he went to the alps a while ago and after dropping the family off at the hotel he went for a thrash in the hills in his jag.. champ

[@stevenfarrington2361]

Who says supercars are impractical? SUVs be damned!

[@alexmarrone1838]

Harry and his epic road trip truly embody the ultimate driving passion of each and every single petrol head out there! These videos are among the best contents a car nut can possibly find. Thanks Harry!

[@amglover4361]

Mr Customs man: What've you got in the back of the car then? Harry: the engine Mr Customs man: OK, so what's in the front? Harry: another engine

[@GuzziHeroV50]

Reminds me of the VW Type 3 Fastback my father owned. Trunk in the front, trunk in the back... the flat 4 engine sat below the rear trunk!

[@tonypasma1707]

really

[@baronvonhoughton]

He's gonna call me for advice 5:50. Very proud!

[@blackjacket_]

Harry this is really something I'm searching for on KZbin. Lots younger utubers doing this but no one seems to buy or use classic or even older cars. Also you always do pick up very interesting details about cars. Please continue and enjoy!

[@harrysgarage]

Good to hear I'm not the only car nerd out there ;-) Thanks for waching

[@robc8892]

There is such rich substance to these videos. They are entertaining yet not dumbed down, something very hard to achieve.

[@hrgiyzueghe]

There's a very good italian young youtuber that loves old cars and has english subtitles: Davide Cironi. I love Harry btw great videos! :)

[@web]

Harry is a founder of EVO magazine, which says a lot. There is no comparison to trust fund vlogers flipping cars

[@BIGWEBB88]

His vids are awesome. Only for true car guys not people looking for the "5 things I hate about this car" videos.

[@scotty7174]

Only 3 years late seeing the vid, but i am very glad to see a Testarossa in existence, and in the UK too, my favourite car of all time, thank you.

[@etma01]

I absolutely love that not only can you fit an outboard in a Testarossa but you did!!

[@johntechwriter]

I'm pretty sure most people who follow this series are more interested in Harry than they are in his cars. He's one of the few rich guys who is also a nice guy and a genuine car guy. Thanks to his vids we plebes get to see how a (nice) rich guy deals with life's little challenges. And then there are the road trips. Harry gets the crazy notion to drive a Testarossa to the Riviera to check on his boat -- a rich-guy fantasy for most of us but he invites us along to participate in the adventure. And he shares with us not just the high points but also the little frustrations and occasional crises that are part of all road trips, along with the challenges of driving an exotic in the real world. Co-piloting a Testarossa on a long journey is far more interesting than watching fast laps at a track. Thanks for sharing the experience and I hope for many more. Request: a Citroen DS 21 or the new C9. And keep the beard, it's manly and a bit bohemian, which you certainly are. Please keep getting crazy ideas about long road trips in interesting cars and don't forget to bring us along!

[@SerbiacarFan]

Only when I watch Harry's videos,I don't give a fuck about quality and editing, because it's like you are there with him

[@gooitzenvandermeer6169]

just the best!,,,,

[@Skeggi]

I just love how you're handling troubles in the French riviera, figuring out how to put 14 bottles of Champagne in your Ferrari while there's already an outboard for your boat in there, which lies in a harbor somewhere in the riviera. And you still seem like a down-to-earth guy :-)

[@DamianSupra]

Love these sort of videos touring around cars, its the parts we never get to see of these mechanical jems which makes it more intimate and the owners stories. Great video

[@SeanAlexanderJournalist]

Intimate is exactly the word I was going to use as I wrote praise for this video. Seems you've done it for me. Fantastic video!

[@markbojanjac6805]

As a fellow TR owner for the past 16 years I have to admire your work Harry. Mine has certainly never seen such practical adventure. Cheers from Down-Under.

[@rckidd]

Hands down, this is the best KZbin channel out there

[@rivolinho]

When you can't fit all your champagne into your Testarossa, I think the phrase "first world problems" doesn't quite cover it! Great vid Harry!

[@w33d1066]

Amazing video again Harry, please don't ever change your style of recording it is very unique and as other people have said it is a very personal experience and feels like we're there with you. Great work!!!

[@harrysgarage]

Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoy them. I'll be doing plenty more in the future.

[@Eidrian111]

It feels like Christmas every time Harry uploads a new video. Thank you I've really enjoyed all of them.

[@dappergent9422]

Great video Harry. Thanks for sharing. This is what I love about your videos. Down to earth no pretentiousnesses, just a man who loves his cars and uses them for what they were designed to do.

[@kinghani]

wow I was gonna get a Y-reg Citroen Saxo because of the larger boot size but now I've heard about the Testarossa I think I'll get that instead. thanks

[@harrysgarage]

Good plan, can't go wrong..

[@Schcarraffone]

one word man even a fiat panda would be a nice choice

[@Krystamyth]

*Kicks her 00 Civic SI coupe under the bed* What? Oh, nothing. Just. Testing out the bedframe for later. Not that I'm going to do anything on it. I mean I might. Not right now... Maybe? Oh that? That's nothing. Just a Hon.... Han...hand towels...hand towels? Lots of them. Well got a long walk to the bus stop so, yeahhh... I need to review my life a bit lol.

[@getchasome6230]

Dont smoke meth^^^^^^

[@HaventHeard307]

You sir, ar a genies

[@TheAslakVind]

Harry, you have no idea how much it means to us car nuts, that you use your Testarossa like this. It makes us almost dream about owning one. Thank you! :)

[@garyreams8123]

I always thought that the Testarossa is one of the most beautiful Ferrari's. What a wonderful trip. Much better in Winter than the crowded Summer traffic. With the Champagne,....even better.

[@michaelloach9461]

Harry, I love your attitude. The garage is full of beautiful cars & you are very modest. For that reason I will subscribe.......Thanks Harry.

[@allow6389]

One must aspire or wither

[@yannisletourneau-perreault6841]

The joy is enormous when I see there is a new video from you! You are truly inspiring!

[@Bolek989]

Thanks for this Harry. Love your videos

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Harry makes me want to drive my car more. He is the man.

[@KeithSmith-zd5xz]

Nice to see someone using these cars they were always made for driving Love your videos

[@tcat0211]

As a fellow Brompton rider, the company started in 76 so it's a bit older than the Testarossa. I love how u found space for TWO!! You have got to be the only man who has done this.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

It's so funny to imagine the "usual" Testarossa owner CRINGING watching this video, being most of the Testarossa's out there are garage queens. Good stuff Hary, keeping cars where they belong = ROAD cheers from Australia

[@truantray]

Most Ferraris are barely driven 1000km/yr. Owners are too worried about devaluation and reliability. It's all quite stupid when you think about it.

[@UsherLinder]

Thank you for bringing us along on this journey. It was especially nice for you to interrupt your journey, drop the cameraman off, go back and drive past the camera to give us a nice shot. That would really slow you down, so I appreciate the extra effort you took.

[@nunomc2815]

This is why I love this channel so much 😊 Harry also shows us how these iconic supercars were made to be properly driven and used.

[@CanalMalFlash]

This is everything I expect from a KZbin channel. Keep it up. Greetings from Argentina.

[@MikeG-fo1lb]

Never stop your videos Harry !! Infact do more

[@pablocespedes9585]

I admire this gentleman, he really use his cars beyond their limits. On some of his trips I bet some Ferrari engineers thought it was sacrilege to get a Testarossa on the desert or having an outboard engine up in the front boot... His videos are very entertaining as well. Thanks Harry!

[@Slider2732]

Only Harry can make you nod your head in agreement when discussing where to put things in a Testarossa !

[@TheEKELUB]

Dear Harry. Thanks for sharing! What a magnificent car. If ever i were to buy a classic, the testarossa would be it. The design of this car will never go out of fashion. What a machine!

[@m.r.9127]

I’ve never seen anything more upper class than this in my entire life. The coat across the legs was the cherry on top

[@alleo5774]

Harry when I was very young I was fortunate to visit my schoolmate's home and saw his family's garage of 12 nice cars. I thought this is an unreachable dream. I saw MG, Royce Royce and so on. You have an even more inspiring collection. Thanks for sharing!

[@DIVADNOMIS1313]

You don't do too many videos, but they are absolutely ace. This one is a prime example.

[@antonmarkov1635]

I really love Harry’s lifestyle and I enjoy watching these trips. I hope to be like him some day!

[@janisfedorovskis8192]

A MAP? OMG in the world of smartphones and GPS's , someone still has a Map ! Well done Harry! :)

[@Krabadaque]

On a map you get an overview over the country and its roads that you won't get from a satnav, you see. On car trips to places I've never been (and even to places I have been!) I very much like to have a map with me.

[@GrrMeister]

I'm older (not so sure now after watching video) OK I'm 75½ but look much less as my mirror and wife tells me - than Harry and move with the times, Sat-Nav and Smartphone and use Google Maps with very latest maps and traffic information. Also occasionally use HereWeGo and Waze, both ok. The heads up display on 'Here' very good but now expired after free trial. Having said that in early 60's on Triumph 350cc (Bathtub) Motorcycle set out from home age 19 (Midlands UK) to Rimini (Italy) with only a small map of Europe. Realised when I got to Switzerland needed a bigger map and bought one at top of Brunig pass. Did all the journey including top of Gotthard Pass no problems. Remember this was before AutoRoutes in France or elsewhere except AutoBahns. On way back different route through Austria & Germany and got lost in LONDON !!!! When were you born Harry ? It was a Very Good Year ! Regards Grahame W (RG500 Pepsi-Suzuki Schwantz replica) Just watched again and at 15:52 you have a Garmin Sat Nav !!!! Take back some previous comments ?

[@MrAlpinab7]

That's the way it's done ! Old school. I will probably even try that myself

[@dryasytanne4490]

oh yes a map, even in the mountains I prefer the overview at my large paaper map to that tiny screen on my gps, or my new mobile, they dont give the full view, just where you exc are, not where youre going

[@Box0rz]

Map is good on roadtrips. No need to worry about battery, and then you can draw the route you've been driving on the map, as a memory.

[@revelairfanman6171]

Finally a video that combines Ferraris and outboard motors - always a match made in heaven. Thanks Harry :-)

[@mrkazman]

i'm 10 minutes in and this old geezer is doing bush mechanics on a Testarossa.... what a champion. +++Subscribed+++

[@Pulsonar]

It’s great to have a reviewer doing serious real world stuff with fantasy world supercars. Harry brings a new gritty dimension to the practicalities of supercar ownership that you seldom see elsewhere.

[@jackal2513]

Thoroughly entertaining and hilarious in equal measure and oh so very English. Really enjoyed that Harry, a real authentic tale of what it's all truly about.

[@twarken5078]

I honestly can't like this film enough! Bravo, Harry!

[@duncanbleak3819]

Britain to the south of France with a little bubbly. Harry, living life properly. Well done. Well driven.

[@SorryIwasntListening]

Selecting a 6 figure classic Ferrari from your huge garage of classic cars and bikes, popping down 1000 miles to the yacht moored on the Riviera to deliver TWO BIKES!, a blast along "my favorite road" and on the way to "my favorite chateaux" to stay.... BUY SOME CHAMPERS! it's another world, I tell you !!!! But done in a matter of fact way, so actually a great video..... Thanks Harry! just hope you don't take it all for granted...

[@andreacaucino927]

Always a pleasure saw your video Harry!!

[@jakedeutscher]

Great video. Using that car proper and living life!

[@fitnesspoint2006]

The Testarossa was actually designed around the Bromton bike, lore has it Enzo was a big Bromton fan.

[@aqajahua]

What a pearl is this man and his presentation! I will check out more of his stuff.

[@109grob]

Love the fact that you use your cars and enjoy them! Great channel, thank you sir!

[@RdcsVtec]

I just wonder how people's taste changes so much overtime!? When it was new (the TR) I didn't like it that much, compared to the GTO and F40 of the day, something that was even more noticeable when the 355 came out, but nowadays, I just enjoy, and appreciate all and every detail on the Testarossa. Specially the first model years. The proportions, the headlights, the air intakes, the simple interior.... everything! So it is always a joy to see these TR from Harry when he does something on it. Thanks for that! ;)

[@Leafnomad]

“You think you’re having a hard day...I’ve got to try and fit 14 bottles of champagne around the outboard motor in my Ferrari” I love it!

[@321CatDaddy]

Thank you so much for sharing these gorgeous cars in their proper environment - on the road being driven! I especially love the quirks and eccentricities of these older cars and how much character each has; your running dialog is entertaining and informative as only an owner and driver of these classic cars can share. Thank you for taking me along with you and the beautiful “Red Head”! Cheers, Marty

[@micktaylor9332]

Wow man. As a ferrari fan i grew up in the 80's with the testarossa on my bedroom wall. If i was able to buy them like you id also want a testarossa and lambo countach. Your cars are stunning mate. Really cool. Thanks for letting us see them. 👍👍

[@alpacinogodfather9523]

White Testarossa 80's and Miami.

[@TheBowerbird]

Thank you for sharing this delightful journey with us! Your wife is a saint for putting up with your automotive choices for such a trip.

[@riccapucho]

I think Harry may be the most likeable bloke on the planet.

[@m2kev789]

What I love about your videos Harry is that you’re passionate about your cars but not precious about them. You believe they are meant to be driven! Not a garage queen in sight - love it!! 👍😀

[@namespacetoosmall]

Brompton sell a nice zip-up cover that's easy to use and protects the car nicely. I used it for years. :)

[@av8bvma513]

Thank you very much Harry! That flat-12 engine is one of the most amazing sounds, completely addictive!!!

[@rundwark]

Loved this video! Personally, I find running errands and going on other purposeful trips some of the most fun and satisfying things to do with a classic car - glad to see I'm not the only crazy person :)

[@alexmarrone1838]

I could listen/watch him for days. Amazingly talented journalist!

[@cedb7115]

I am a simple man. I see Harry's video, I like, I comment, then I watch. And comment again if necessary.

[@Carrera-gp9od]

I love watching these videos , so much so I’ve decided to drive from Scotland to the Riviera via the alps in 3 weeks time 😂

[@ChrisDorgan]

the shout about the Auto Route and starting to see the signs for St Tropez etc. You're speaking the truth my friend!Me and a friend of mine did a rally down to St Tropez etc earlier this year, London - Paris - St Tropez. That trip down from Paris to St Tropez was horrendous, but then we saw the signs for the riviera and we started counting down the miles in tens, was amazing, wish we could make 80 miles feel so quick here in the UK! The pints we had once we got down there after the 9/10 hour drive down were glorious!

[@ChrisDorgan]

in one day that was (first very major trip tbh) I've done London to Spa before but that was spread over three days so we only drove four or five hours a day max.

[@michaelyounes83]

What a great way to transport Champagne and a boat motor back home!! Harry you are legendary

[@just4all1]

i love this road trip videos , keep them up and thank you for sharing :) one love from morocco

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

This channel is the best supercar show today. Even Grand Tour is really boring compared to this.

[@GazzaView123]

Now, shall I take the XJR, the Range Rover, or the Espada...no, I'll take the Testarossa. Good man!

[@homohelveticusgrisonensis8628]

This is without no doubt one of the best videos on youtube about cars and specially about a ferrari classic car. Thumbs up for the nice british gentlemen! Greetings from small but beautiful Switzerland ...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse into the world of exotic cars and champagne (and loved the pronunciation of "Troyes") - really love the way you manage to make down to earth videos, incredible feat given the subject matter, and are clearly enjoying every moment of what you do - keep 'em coming, very entertaining stuff. Thanks for making the effort to take the video and share with us...all the best...(PS extra kudos due of course as you're a biker too...)

[@paulmcgee1867]

Yes Troy! Plus Antibessss! School French taking it’s toll again. Still Harry’s English is much better than most peoples now.

[@Peregrine-qp4fq]

Only heard the correct pronunciation of Troyes when watching the Tour De France one year!

[@steved2008]

Only just got round to watching this, utterly marvellous, thanks Harry and Wife 👍

[@ChevroletastragtcOPC]

This literaly is a Testarossa with an engine at the front. Nice nice car, glad it's still used

[@RB_CO]

Cars are meant to be driven. I love how you do just that.

[@narratedtraveladventures]

Great video ! Very well edited. The testarossa is one of my childhood dream cars. Don't see them on the road much anymore.

[@christiansanden8005]

My dream Ferrari

[@jd-py5nm]

i love that you drive these and not just quick drives but nice long stretches

[@logan86123]

Great video as always. Just to say about the heater issue. If the air blows cold, and the radiators feel a bit cool, but it's losing coolant, I hate to say it but it could well be a head gasket going, even if you don't see any gunk in the coolant or any other symptoms at all. There are several cars where exactly this set of symptoms develops with a failing head gasket, and it usually happens in winter as well for some strange reason. The next thing to look out for of course would be oil pouring down the side of the engine somewhere, usually all over the alternator just to be even more annoying. I hope it's nothing that serious, and usually when they fail like this there is no long term damage at all, but obviously a costly job because you really have to skim the head as well to make sure it doesn't just happen again. Anyway I'll keep my fingers crossed, and please do a Testarossa update video to let us know the news. In fact it would be good to see little update videos about the various cars and their maintenance.

[@harrysgarage]

We'll see once it goes back in for a service. Thanks for info

[@michaelmeece]

God bless you for using only one parking space. You are now my favorite car reviewer.

[@bmanduprit2962]

All of Harry’s problems are first world problems. “Oh lord! How am I going to fit my champagne in my Ferrari?” Lol I love it. Don’t ever stop making videos Harry.

[@mmcauliffe81]

2000 mile trip in November and need to take an outboard home, what to take....the Testarossa of course! Brilliant, love this vids Harry!

[@TeX____]

Sir, i like your way of living. Greetings :)

[@mrdiavel4807]

Great to see Antibes, you’re just one dock away from me, we are on Mole Sud .

[@GTFour]

The outboard motor cracked me up :D

[@southerndiy1]

The Sahara trip was fascinating, but seeing you stuff 2 bicycles, 14 bottles of Champagne and a Yamaha outboard motor into a Testarossa was something else. Harry, you are a madlad.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Can you imagine the look on the customs officers faces. Okay middle of winter here comes a lovely old Testarossa, driven by an elder gentleman no less. So let's see here we have a chockload of wine and, an outboard engine... On your way sir.

[@adamorowski2294]

Thanks to your videos Harry, I'm currently on my first 600 mile trip with my Ferrari Mondial 3.2 :) Awesome adventure.

[@MrZekToR]

Really enjoying your videos Harry. Informative, detailed and intelligent. So much easier to watch and listen to compared to younger more excitable You Tubers. Great work.

[@ericswild]

Thank you so much for actually driving the car. I see so many of these that never get driven.

[@mateilucian4970]

Harry you are cool guy

[@harrysgarage]

Thanks but I'm really not!

[@basstrammel1322]

The 80's has REALLY grown on me the last 4-5 years! What a great decade that seems to have been, in many ways. Magnificent supercars, great music, fashion was fun and goofy, the 50s was popular, and the economy was booming most of it. Can't remember too much of it, being a young child, but did it ever become a faboulus memory.

[@FezzaYT]

superb video Harry. By far my favourite channel. Really look forward to all of your uploads. And the Testarossa seems to look more stunning by day.

[@shankarbalan3813]

This is the life. Beautifully presented car-led lifestyle...
