Harry chooses quality over quantity. Rather upload one video per month per car with a runtime of 20-30 min than two videos per week and the same car with a twist and 5-10 min long.

[@kurtbergh]

You're absolutely right, l could not find a single rude comment here. Just people genuinely interested in the cars.

Harry is the kind of guy one can't help but admire. Thanks for the best reviews on youtube, Harry.

I think it was just lighthearted banter mate, though his response was a bit disappointing

[@Motorcyclist32]

I laughed so hard at this one

[@a_wise_young_man752]

I thought he made his money selling videos of Eric Bristow twerking to the Danish national anthem while wearing a pair of Daisy Duke denim shorts.

Harry feels 'a bit of a hooligan'. Priceless

[@TheCounty90]

At 75 mph it still has 95% of the engines resources available. I have a similar gauge in the Land Rover and at the same speed, it tells me that 95% of the engines resources are used up.

My passion for automobiles comes from a very tender age when I started karting and even though I had my fair share of troubles and bad moments in life, my love for cars never changed, what I'm trying to say here is that I truly admire and relate to your passion and also am truly grateful that you make this content available to us all around the world for free !

My mate and I had a good idea in taking his old mans wraith out while his parents were away. Within 5 minutes his old man was on the phone from somewhere in the u s of a going bonkers and telling us in no un certain terms to put it back, must of had a thingy on his phone but omg what a car an absolutely amazing machine never been in anything remotely close to it. Rolls Royce are in a class of there own and yes we put the car back straight away as that was the right thing to do and spent the rest of the day polishing it, the car just has so much presence and deserves to be stared at in owe. Thanks Mr Harry I tip my hat too you👍

I'll never own one, hardly likely to ever sit in one, and the chances are I'm highly unlikely to ever see one, but I am glad that Rolls Royce make cars like this! Really enjoyed this video - especially as I'm also heading off to the Italian alps and beyond on my motorbike next week!

[@RustyPetterson]

Enjoy! I enjoyed this video because it showed me what the Gotthard Pass is like up top. Last time I was there my mates & I went through the TUNNEL instead... all 10.5 miles of it. We did not think that plan through, and our faces were black with exhaust fumes by the time we reached the end. Hah.

[@davidmitchell5638]

Phil Chalk why do you put that mindset? ask yourself why you can't have it, are you less capable than any other human being? God just thinking like that feels depressing to me :(

[@chalkphil]

David MuscleGuy - crikey, lighten up a bit mate. I'm quite a positive person actually, but like thoughts of winning the lottery etc, it's very much in the realms of dreams, and being accepting of that isn't being negative or depressing.

[@sfneurosurgeon]

I started watching Harry's channel. What I appreciate most is that Harry doesn't just talk about the cars, but also about the destinations. I have been to some of the places in Harry's video and it is enjoyable to see them in his journey.

Another great review by the man himself. I do like his laid back and frank attitude and I always wait for the bit where he has to pull out a map to show us where he's going or been and you can't see because his thumb is over the location lol. Keep up the good work H!

I really enjoyed that, thank you, Harry. Continental motoring as few will ever experience, with a spoonful of nostalgia in Coupe des Alpes country. And your commentary is concise , to the point yet choc a bloc with relevant and interesting facts and figures. Last but not least, your sparkle as you look into the lens conveys a joi de vivre and an infectious enthusiasm for real motoring which reminded me of Stirling Moss, John Bolster with a touch of Gregor Grant thrown in to keep us grounded. Yes, you are a truly gifted motoring journalist, Harry, brilliant!

They're always saying that this is great (and it is for a passenger who wants to sleep), but as a driver I wouldn't want this. Hearing is an integral part of our perception of the environment and losing that sense can't be good for safe driving.

[@danielmaia3559]

valgehiir but he put the foot down on the autobahn it sounded loud like a sportscar, I wonder if he was on a specific mode that makes it also louder or if you put you foot down anytime it would get loud like that on the black badge because on a standard RR it wouldn't get that loud, you almost not hear the engine

[@GrrMeister]

5:12 *That's Brilliant, my 1978 Silver Shadow (6.2 Litre V8) did around 12mpg and the best I achieved was 14 mpg, however Petrol was far cheaper then, I remember it around 67p PER GALLON - sold the car in 1982 when went to just over £1 per GALLON, with the number plate 45 K. They say that if you have to ask how many MPG does it do you can't afford it, but I have always been 'reputably 'careful'. **9:34** Been there many times but surprised you managed to get out the 'Bad Word' Pass, I always referred to it as the Rhône Glacier Pass when Ladies present. First went over the Gotthard Pass in 1961 on my 350cc Triumph 21 before any tunnels and 42 hairpin cobbled roads, the view down to Airola from the top was awesome., it was raining and stayed the night at bottom (Airola) and when looked up in the AM could not believe where I had been. **21:10** You did again Harry - please call it the Rhône Glacier Pass as far more chivalrous and respectful. Also done similar trip on my Suzuki RG500 Model C **_'Kevin Schwantz'_** race replica.*

I enjoyed that..as always. How was the ride against the Bentayga? Have you driven the Mulsanne Speed? Do a video of that Harry.

[@hendelar]

Love it! RR maintain their "sufficient" attitude elegantly as ever. The red-blue, warmer-cooler approach, power available dial instead of a tach. For ninety-five percent of the driving that ninety percent of us do, sublime. Cross continent bliss. Superb review, Harry. You've captured and communicated the spirit of the ride with aplomb. Yep!

[@senna9414]

Just wondering if that great engine noise under full load is it real or is it piped in through the speakers like a BMW M5?
