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.

[@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

[@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]

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@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.

[@officialHarryW]

Petition for this to be done, 2020 version

[@thomson765]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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 😂🤣😂

BOT König He's a huge Chris Harris fan

[@btk7834]

Car Throttle Everybody is :)

[@crossphaded]

BOT König the kid kind of disappears behind Harris' back. What is this hijinxery!

[@ChristianSarnecki]

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

[@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

[@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

[@BondTheOGYT]

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

[@spencerblankenship6204]

Great idea!

[@kenciful]

Awesome episode

[@CarThrottle]

Kenan Dervisagic Thanks Kenan.

[@ayrtonatif047]

+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

[@PPC4]

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

[@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. .

[@stuart2311]

Chris Harris is the best man in the business . I simply have not seen anyone better .

[@cream2257]

No, jeremy clarkson is

[@Huli-Man]

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

[@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

[@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

[@uncFANno1]

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

[@DoKapsy]

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

[@BluTrollPro]

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

[@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.

[@xzst]

I love to listen Chris Harris' banter. Brilliant.

[@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.

[@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 :-/

[@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...?..👊❤😊

[@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

[@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

Chris Harris is a man's man. I love that guy!

Hey Alex, do you think it's time you put a turbo or get a 13b engine under your mx-5's bonnet, after Chris Harris's comment?

[@stefonadonis5046]

whats the name of the car Chris says at 12:45? Liston austin coupe? huh???

AHHHHHH!!! This interview was so awesome!!

[@johnhagebeuk8]

You make such an awesome shows i really think you deserve a tv programme

[@ChrisJackson80]

Please someone help!! What are the wheels on it! Keen to get some for my red NA!

[@sunsweetsuitable593]

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

[@nunobandeira1811]

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

[@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.

[@onlymt]

Favourite interview ever, watch it at least once a week

[@ChoppsyV]

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

[@PixelTrooper]

What a wonderful duo this is...

[@chrisbarbosa6942]

Love this project/series

[@CarThrottle]

chris barbosa And we love you Chris.

[@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?

[@shobin05]

12:40 Does anyone know what car does "frank" drive?

[@v1iist]

Is the caps for sale somewhere?

[@keeganthekid214]

when are more project mx5 coming out?

[@alexkersten1964]

+keeganthe kid Lots of filming this month, so plenty to come in the next few weeks!

[@CtRacerX]

This was flipping BRILLIANT!!!

[@edwindows7]

10:40 I agree with Chris, especially with the cult following MR2s have in the UK. Miatas are great and all, but like E30s and S13/14/15s, everyone has done everything imaginable to them. Also, Alex's pop-up headlights response is void since only the 3rd gen has fixed headlights.

[@CenturyVox]

I also was wondering what HH is standing for. Now i looked at least 5 minutes at the logo but i can't see a ttl. Sorry

[@stevenhs8821]

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

[@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.

[@AustinLeonardAutomotive]

What kind of wheels did these ones remind Chris about? I'd like to look at them (and maybe buy some) but am having trouble finding them. Thanks!

[@CarThrottle]

Austin Leonard We believe he said Campagnolo.

[@AustinLeonardAutomotive]

Car Throttle Ah yup. Looked that up the first time and it came up with thousands of bicycle rim. Added "car rims" and boom. Thanks for the help! P.S. Check out my channel for a car video I think you'd all appreciate! :D

[@jogaplayer640]

Austin Leonard Car Throttle I believe he was talking about the Fiat Campagnola, Fiat's response to the Land Rover Defender

[@jamesross2373]

Car Throttle I thought exactly the same thing right before he said it, Magnus Walker had some nice gold ones on his blue 911 Turbo

[@colonio15]

jogaplayer640 the Fiat Campagnola, widely known for it's deep dish wheels

[@jackdoulton6259]

what did the mx5 order in the Indian restaurant? A bhunos Roadster

[@TimSenna]

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

[@Incriveles]

These chaps should make their car show! Awesome

[@HDConcussionz]

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

[@blahber222]

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

[@giovannibosio2382]

Rims and tyres specs? It looks a bit stretched (3:07)

[@lukaszrabiniak6307]

Any chance that you could give me a post code to that spot please?

[@Mrzacman5001]

the carthrottle logo is the TTL of throttle?!?!? I always thought it was a 5 speed manual gearbox!

[@mikeobarr8589]

Of course they would be mates. Love it.

[@kikowner]

8:14 Ford mates with Iveco and that comes out?

[@555Gear]

Chris do you regret selling the GT3

[@dylan100022]

Me and my mate have the single pegga diff (Open diff) and we both kick the asses out. Me in the S13 stock SR20DE him in a kingswood with a 308, yep

[@jo23bulls]

Chris Harris threw shade with that sewing machine comment.

[@FarmerEd7810]

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

[@TwskiTV]

What did he answered when Alex asked if he could choose any car for the rest of his life? Couldn't understand it (not native english speaker)

[@KXP70]

Lister Costin Coupe

[@OvercomingAwkward]

As a 92 BMW 318 owner, I can say with all honesty it is impossible to drift a sub 150whp car with an open diff anything short of dangerous speeds.

[@fill7t1]

Brilliant interview.

[@c3adswaqq]
