Project MX-5: My Awkward Interview With Chris Harris

[@CarThrottle]

NOTE: Hardcore CT fans, you may have already seen this video on the site, but we thought KZbin subscribers also deserved to see Chris and Alex’s blossoming relationship.

[@PakiiiBux]

Are you uploading the Ed China interview as well?

[@jameseasy3971]

i got excited....watched it again anyways cuz its awesome

[@Ryzza5]

Car Throttle you thought right!

[@c0c0asauce]

Emil Madsen It would be fun track day car. I don't think it would be precise enough to teach you fine car control. You want something that is precise and consistent so you can improve yourself instead of blaming the car, aka spending more money.

[@OliverPickard]

+Car Throttle chris is typically funny and you are pretty terrible to be honest

[@djjones2723]

saw a S2000 at the mall today walked by the guy and said nice MX-5 dude was kind of mad lol

[@pet3r387]

DJ JONES ABSOULUTE MADLAD

[@dragospahontu]

Why don't you buy an mr2

[@samuelele]

The best part of it is that you actually recognised it being an S2000

[@dragospahontu]

@@samuelele mr2>mx 5

[@samuelele]

@@dragospahontu surely a nice vehicle as well, especially because I don't like roadsters too much - mx5 is still cool, though :)

[@JamaicanMeCrazy]

This was one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Well done to you both. Very good chemistry.

[@KingADDJ]

wait what?? It's 'TTL'? I thought it was the 6 gated thing, like the gear shifter of a manual transmission

[@TheRatchet35]

All of us did... :'(

[@m.vanhethof]

I did too :/

[@q3znw6j88aywnwy]

probably both, because art

[@georgerosebush9754]

Both

[@ScottXC91]

@@TheRatchet35 That's what it is. Why else would they focus on just the TTL portion of CarThrottle? There's no other reason to. That's literally exactly what it is.

[@Talon276]

That kid with his ice cream all over his face gets me every time!

[@JordieMotive97]

Talon276 I keep replaying that bit XD

[@AJsWorld]

That was unexpected and made me laugh more than it should have.

[@vk849]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@wasabi1m]

These two should be top gear line up

[@curtaintwitcher1148]

wasabi1m they might well now be that Matt has had enough.

[@AAO-Falcon]

Yea i would watch top gear again if these 2 were the only hosts

[@Eren-da-Jaeger]

@@AAO-Falcon What if The grand tour every episode increased by 30 min, and having these two doing bits on cars and wheels etc ? of course along with clarkson may and hammond. 5 hosts but not together always.

[@AAO-Falcon]

@@Eren-da-Jaeger well I did think grand tour couldn't get any better but clearly the possibility is there :D

[@oliverfletcher6707]

No fucking way

[@thomson765]

that comment about selling his GT2 made me cringe. One of the highest valued cars in the world at this moment.

[@officialHarryW]

Petition for this to be done, 2020 version

[@KvotheMMA]

This is one of the most entertaining interviews I have ever seen. I have actually seen it multiple times. Come on Alex, get another one done in 2020.. now that Chris is the big deal

[@MuscleVsTuner]

both of these guys are awesome lol

[@encepence7926]

No likes F

Except one of them aren't

[@ChristianSarnecki]

"Why didn't you buy an MR2" favorite line from the whole video

[@JacK-yr8ri]

I would watch chris watch paint dry

[@gdfggggg]

That’s mildly entertaining

[@tadhgbolen3054]

You're* a loser.

[@RoadsterRyan23]

I agree

[@skeelo69]

Jack, the paint dried before you had the chance 😂🤣😂

[@BondTheOGYT]

You should do more interviews and maybe interview the public about Phil xD

[@spencerblankenship6204]

Great idea!

[@ThinJizzy]

10:49 But the MR2 has popups..

[@OverdriveXRSPS]

Micah Montoya thought the same thing :l

[@sparrowlt]

+Micah Montoya absolutelly, and is prettier than a MX5 imho.. still its a way harder car to drift due to it being MR..a MX5 a bit on steroids should drift quite easier

[@bhew7409]

The MX-5 is more fun to beat on, MR is a bit crappy when you want to go all out as you need a race track.

[@fireblade3655]

maybe he was talking about the latest mr2/mrs

[@monjessenstein]

@@bhew7409 that, plus I'd say that if you had to buy your first sports car an mx5 is a lot safer than an mr-2

[@TheChannel1978]

Ok, this is hilarious. I cracked up so many times. The questions and smugness are deliciousss

[@JDJD-mw9rr]

Hey that's a nice miata you have

[@redyellowpink01]

It's a ttl?! I thought it was like a 6 gate for a 5 speed with reverse 😂

[@alfie1217]

These awkward interviews are the best interviews on KZbin

[@kenciful]

Awesome episode

[@CarThrottle]

Kenan Dervisagic Thanks Kenan.

[@ayrtonatif572]

+Car Throttle i left your channel after who is Ayrton Senna incident never watched or liked any of your videos but this is the 1st one in ages i have liked and enjoyed. cheers 👍✌👍✌

[@kenciful]

Ayrton Atif Cool, man ;)

[@Tigermoto]

Car Throttle Thanks for this video. Chris Harris is a legend, what a guy. He actively plays out the not giving a shit vibe, while being a proper, proper car guy. So glad he decided to get from under /drive+. I actually thought his new channel was someone stealing his videos and reuploading them without KZbin knowing, so thanks for the clarification. LOL

[@DoKapsy]

Do another video with this trio. That would be interesting. ♥️

[@duncantodd3403]

You sir, are fucking hilarious. Just watched most of your awkward interviews. I love living in awkward moments. It's obvious Chris Harris is fond of you. Keep it up homie

[@uncFANno1]

This is one of my favorite episodes! Great humor and Chris is an awesome guy!

[@SuperSonicSpeedGuy]

Dear KZbin, I don't want a Peugeot 308, so stop showing me the ads!!

[@woooster17]

Ditto...really annoying!!

[@falconeer4382]

Nobody wants a fucking Peugeot, let's be honest

[@devonbuller]

@@falconeer4382 i would take a retro one, like a 205

[@falconeer4382]

@@devonbuller okay fine the 205 is a good car to be french and from Peugeot xD

[@kl75182]

''Are you concerned that someone might try to steal this vehicle'' that one and the '' car trottel'' killed me. Chris Harris is a boss. .

[@Huli-Man]

"that's just cause you mast... do you workout?" ahahah

[@Schmeeky455]

This is hilarious. I run a Eunos Roadster, and love it to bits. I know Chris isn't keen on them, and fair play, he drives (and owns) machinery of a far higher caliber. But the banter and mickey-taking is great fun. Cheers for making a great film.

[@J0Z0117]

I like how you've merged the two videos! Good to see this again :)

[@cottonsoxx1677]

"Mr Chris Harris, How you doing?... I'm in the car with this bloke. What's your name again?" Short term memory loss, bro :-/

[@BluTrollPro]

Bald man does not like his hairdressers car. What a revelation.

[@PPC4]

Brilliant.....Chris harris is a legend. 13:37 and at 13:46 "Young man" Love it.

I really liked this video, you should do more interviews like this.

[@CtRacerX]

This was flipping BRILLIANT!!!

Starting to have a lot more confidence in new Top Gear, knowing Chris is on board after watching this.

[@onlymt]

Favourite interview ever, watch it at least once a week

[@TheRaveknight1985]

this is cool. love Chris Harris. man is a poet. Hope to see more of this

[@Slakbury]

Awesome job :) this was too funny and interesting at the same time. Alex... join Herts 5's on Facebook! You'll love it... I go to some of their meets in an R33 (no one seems to mind of course) and they're all super friendly and fun to chat to.

[@blahber222]

"With this bloke..." It's just Chris Harris, no biggie 😂

[@dolphinoegglet7263]

Why was this my fave interview of the year?

This is the best thing I've randomly found on youtube for ages.. Ps i came from a video of a talking dog 👍🏻

[@jeffsloane8628]

Chris Harris is the man! His Ferrari F40/F50 video is in my top 10 all time car videos on you tube.

[@c3adswaqq]

Is this shit even a series anymore I've been waiting forever for another freaking ep man

[@pattytoddles]

chris harris is legend. he's by far the best motoring journalist imo. I want to see him with jeremy Richard and James on their new show. chris could do the lap times on all the new cars they test since he is a wicked driver.

[@PixelTrooper]

What a wonderful duo this is...

[@sunsweetsuitable593]

this was my favorite Chris Harris ANYTHING!!!!!

[@BikutaValdez]

What does HH stand for in your profile picture?

[@GeedanUK]

1:18 it is clarified from there on

[@adamharrington8814]

I always thought it was a 6 speed manual lol

[@SinginShooter]

Victor Hernandez I thought it was a shift gate.

[@dapytzagamer9795]

I think its both, the ttl and the gearbox

[@JagHeterAlfred]

Victor Hernandez Some nazi stuff

[@ketchup5344]

I sold my jag xk8😢and now Im looking at a mk 3mazda as a convertible ride. It'll have to be a 2006 edition with reasonable miles for what Im spending....but there's so many variants....1.8 , 2L, sports,.......Hard to know what I can get by without to save money. They look good and I wonder what they're like to drive...?..👊❤😊

[@burnzy3210]

Love these lads!

[@claireevergreen6941]

I watched this enjoying every second I thought there would be driving there wasn't, and it was still brilliant so many good one-liners lol

[@ragzard]

Funniest interview I saw this month. Kudos!

[@jo23bulls]

Chris Harris threw shade with that sewing machine comment.

[@ayeapprove]

10:39 - Popup Headlights as a reason for a MX5? The MR2 also has them :D How about FR layout, 50:50 balance, cheap parts, lots of donor cars?

[@encepence7926]

Snap overseer? Nah mate

[@FarmerEd7810]

Two guys in a mx5 with the top down, you can never pick up a mate when you have a mx5

[@stevenhs8821]

i'm an American. Love how both Brits and Americans say "um."

[@ChoppsyV]

Chris deserves more views! Such a cool dude and a seriously good driver!

[@Incriveles]

These chaps should make their car show! Awesome

[@seanmcmahon7887]

"an open differential with a sewing machine under the bonnet" best quote ever

[@trishanuray3833]

You wanted that sticker anyway and that will not go anywhere on the body... eh Cris? ? Very honest but fun filled interview. I too never understood Car Throttle logo. I like those stretched tyres and wheels , nice flush.

[@3dScience_uk]

Great car (mx5), great interview. Well done CAR THROTTLE!!

[@fill7t1]

Brilliant interview.

[@itubrrr]

I actually drifted my 1.6 open dif. I was on a runway where the pavement wasn't like asphalt. The floor itself was naturally slippery.

[@zooboyjoe]

***** Yup. Bit odd to watch. Look about the same age but Alex acts about 20 years younger :S

[@HarizHafiGarden]

They were joking

[@JaredStCyr]

I normally hate cringy stuff but this was amazing!

[@patriotsquill]

Absolutely hilarious. Think back to the days before KZbin when it just wouldn't be possible to widely disseminate a "special interest" video like this!

[@TheRealD4]

Why was the tyre sidewall angled out towards the rim? Coz you wanted those rims but didn't want the fatter rear tyres required?

[@NjoyMoney]

in finland we call the "dish" of the wheel the "lip" :D

[@nunobandeira1811]

You should make clear on the video description the date when this was filmed, or 1st published, this video is many months old!

[@E92jamesy]

Such a funny interview!

[@A1dize]

You had me at the start "Is this his grand entrance, are you watching this?"

[@turboxide]

Great video!

[@dhatchbernier]

I’m just here to see how tight a T-shirt Alex is wearing. This episode didn’t disappoint!

Owning an AW11, I would do anything to see Chris do a comparison of the MX5 and an MR2...
