[@shiznuts]

This is the kind of TopGear TopGear should be. I love that man and his enthusiasm for cars.

[@filipeferreirac]

Shiz Exactly. Leave the clowning around to JC, RH and JM. Trying to shoehorn people into their shoes doesn’t work. Just give Chris Harris full creative control and let him do his thing.

[@shiznuts]

Yeah and even Clarkson, Hammond and May were more spontaneous and fun back in the early days... used to be more about cars as well. I honestly don't care too much about the 'special episodes' where they do ridiculous things with vehicles that aren't meant for that purpose... but, okay, that was their thing and a lot of people do love it. No need however for Top Gear to copy that and make boats out of tuk-tuks. Of course one could argue that formula was Top Gear's all along and not that of our 3 Musketeers, but it just feels so 'try hard' with Top Gear. Especially with that awful Matt LeBlanc and his fake scripted cringey delivery. Sabine I find quite annoying as well. She could be sisters with Heidi Klum, who's very cringe as well. I'm glad further along the season there will be no more Matt. Leave the reign to Harris and he'll deliver. One of my favourite car videos was that of Chris Harris on Cars, his own KZbin channel at Portimao circuit, driving the holy trinity (P1, LaFerrari, 918 Spyder) along with Marino Franchitti and Tiff Needell. The way they interacted was just a couple of blokes with a passion for cars being genuinely enthusiastic. There was a general structure, but they were pretty much just chatting freely rather than reading offa a script. Just felt so right, the excitement was real. That is what car people (I wanted to say petrolheads, but these days -__-" , lol) can relate too, because that's exactly how they are amongst their buddies.

[@DocTheGuitar]

Totally agree, much better than the "Travel Show" it turned into. Big question, who the hell owned all of those beautiful cars?

[@lightning95sc]

I could listen to Chris Harris for hours talk about cars. He gets it. He understands how real car people(not a snobby "enthusiast"), who live and breathe cars, geek out over the littlest things.

[@AlinTrinca]

@@filipeferreirac You folks don't understand the real Top Gear, do you? It was never a car show. If you want a car show watch Fifth Gear, or that show where they restore cars. Top Gear was a comedy show that had cars as it's point of revolution. It was about 3 blokes that we're great friends and did stupid stuff. Nobody cared about the car section of it. The comedy, the simplicity, the utter stupidity, that was the main attraction point. The show itself was built around their personalities, molded by their complementing attributes. Nobody gave a crap's ass about the car subject itself. Of course they would test the cars, give it a lap run or whatever, but the basic substance, the fuel of the show, the thing that made you always watch it was their relationship. Their passion to make people laugh and act like toddlers with big toys. I'm pretty sure you can succeed in the same fashion in any field, as long as you are entertaining. As long as you keep people interested in what you're doing. Don't get me wrong, I feel the same way as Chris about the immense impact on history the cars in that garage had, but it's not the same. Put Clarkson Hammond and May in that garage and I guarantee you a banter for the ages. That's what people like, thats what people want. Disagreement. Because i don't care about ONE guy's opinion, I wanna see conflicting points of view in a fun setup. I couldn't care less that' he's excited about a pristine E30. I'm excited as well, but that doesn't make it watchable. It's about keeping the audience interested, and this is what they lack.

99.9% of the population would think that this video was sad,geeky and pathetic if they watched it...... But for those of us of a certain age, those of us who grew up and learned how to drive, really drive, using manual gearboxes, heel & toe-ing to rev match, no traction control except for our right foot, perhaps using a little bit of LFB and trail braking on the way in to a corner to tuck the nose in and unstick the rear slightly, from an age before Gastos and SPECs and ANPR and a 50mph limit for most of the M1. For those of us who grew up charging around on our Raleigh Grifters and BMX's making car noises in our heads, pretending to be Gilles Villeneuve or Henri Toivonen and played for hours on our Scalextric. For those of us who search for 1980's / early 1990's F1 / Le Mans / Touring Car / Rallying vids on KZbin. For those of us who do indepth research into what tyres to buy for the wifes little run around instead of buying purely on price. For those of us who wouldn't look twice at the latest blinged up Ferrari Fandango FXXX-X-Rst- GTS Evo, but would practically wet ourselves with excitement at the sight of something like a Tickford Capri. For those of us who whilst trudging around the local Tescos on a Friday night, glide our shopping trolleys into a glorious arc of power oversteer out of the right-hand harpin between the chilled aisle and the bread area, marvelling at clipping the apex just perfectly by the Dolmeo special offers display. For those of us like that, this video is pure nirvana. Thanks you Chris. You are one of us.

Frazer Guest Absolutely spot on. 👍🏻

[@Fizzbomb123]

Frazer Guest Absolutely!!!!

[@Steezy93]

Wow hahahah

[@thanduxolocembi2539]

I feel like theres a shortage of journalists out there that appreciate cars of this era. This video really hit a spot deep in my heart. Its been a while since I have been so pumped up by a car video. wow.

[@topg2820]

I'm a gen Z, most of these cars are older than me yet I love these manual cars, these cars had something special that like Chris says we will never get in Electric cars

[@alexpastore3948]

As a 50th Anniversary owner, I'm really happy to see his enthusiasm for the Z. That's the first time one has ever been shown on video by an automotive publication. One of the most underrated cars of the 80's in my (most certainly biased) opinion. I hope Chris gets the chance to experience one in the future, and thanks for making my day!

[@bhamm96]

Every time I'm having an off day or just want a smile, as a car enthusiast, I come back here. Just a man and his love for automotive perfection.

[@paragamolik8415]

Mesmerized by the condition of the cars!!! Absolutely the reaction and excitement expected from a real car enthusiast.... Chris going from car to car, like a kid in a candy store.

[@Thenalya]

Legend says that even today you can find Chris sleeping peacefully in one of those cars, smiling happy as a baby.

[@nathanchildress5596]

Yeah he probably awoke on the auction block when the gavel came down

[@danielmutua8900]

I usually come back to this video once in a while

[@Marthaviews]

Chris, that is the best collection l have ever seen. No surprises that you were overwhelmed. I could live there too. Amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@cribs4551]

I’m a grown man who actually gasped when he saw that Renault 5 Turbo 2. Stunning.

[@havenblood]

My Apple Watch gave me a notification for an irregular heart beat when I saw it, pure artistry on wheels.

[@IDanStep]

Was my absolute dream to have a silver Renault 5 turbo as a kid. Here I am 20 odd years later driving a silver Ford S Max 😓

[@cribs4551]

Dan James I had the R5 GT Turbo when I was a lad, oh the highs and lows were massive. Also now drive a smart ForTwo 😭 reality... 🙈

[@mohmoudfarah1897]

He says, ’He had no idea what the folks at the Renault were smoking when they were designing the R5, but he wants some of whatever that was). LOL! Count me in too.

[@SDR-fj7on]

Ha ha ha 😂 me too man, I was like....loooook at it

[@g.w.7893]

Chris, your enthusiasm for cars is infectious as always. Keep being the best presenter out there.

[@1scyth]

When is the extended ‘uncut’ version of this video gonna be released?

[@SDR-fj7on]

Chris.....please do another one of these mate, but do a full length version. We loved it. Could have watched you digging around in these beauties all day.

[@thundermain7233]

When he said that he's gonna pick a car he liked the most and then showed the BMW I had the biggest and best smile I had in a while. Because the BMW 7 series e38 is my absolute favorite car

[@snky-tee6425]

This is the greatest car collection, review and clip ever. Got to admire the enthusiasm of Chris and at the same time envy him for being so close to so many amazing classic cars that will truly forever remain GOATs. This needs its own show many of us young people want to discover forgotten classics and understand the evolution of cars before it all goes electric and Chris does it so well!

[@hent1438]

It;s so amazing that all of these old school, super rare spec'd cars are all under one roof. Speechless.....

[@charliedesperado8262]

I could sit and watch Chris Harris bubble over about cars probably all day :)

[@Tomoose1985]

I want to see a 20 minute video of each and every car in there. Wow.

[@widdzzz]

Please More content like this!!!!! The old Chris Harris is back! Its so hard to choose a favorite. That 5.7 e31 alpina and the r129 amg wow, wow, wow. The w123 amg I never knew existed. Some seriously cool mercs in this collection as well.

[@whirinakii]

Cars to die for great video - I'm in my late 50's these were the go to cars back in the day.

[@Phoenix_1991]

2:26 when Chris is having his 'man moment' notice he has his sleeves up in order to not dirty the cars with his hands (natural oils, sweat etc.). Such a genuine consideration for these awesome mint cars.

[@nirfz]

prophetic statement: "this is what we will miss when everything goes electric and boring" I already miss real dials on the dashboards of new cars. Everybody installs displays instead.

[@vladimirprihoda9935]

04:39 I love how he pulls his sleeve over his hand, notto leave marks on the paint! :D

[@Pato-ARG]

and then smashes every single door

[@MrCarGuy]

@@Pato-ARG Which has zero negative effect.

[@sorted0blud]

*goes straight to autotrader to look at collapsed bolsters on E60 M5's*

[@kiko1605]

And was Chris right?

[@donvitocorleone3951]

but that car is amazing

[@josephpsmithe]

Even after 5 years, Chris is still on point with these cars.. I think he shares my view point perfectly. And I don’t think I’m the only one.

[@afs_seven]

Harris is turning into Harry with that beard

[@johnyeah183]

lol nice one. I'd love to see Harris and Harry doing another collab. I think the last time they did it was back when Harris' still in EVO magazine

[@rogrcooper8751]

No he looks like Trevor from GTA V😂

[@filipeferreirac]

They would probably have better chemistry than the others.
