When Chris Harris Meets Alex Roy: U.K. Part 1 of 4 - /LIVE AND LET DRIVE

Alex travels to the UK to meet up with DRIVE co-host Chris Harris. As it turns out, DRIVE's most popular host alongside it's most controversial one get along famously as Chris shows off a bit of his homeland's best driving roads in a Renault Clio RS 200 Cup and a Porsche GT3 3.8.

"Everything I learned about the U.K. was from an amazing documentary called Brave Heart." Fucking brilliant...

[@Speedwelltuning]

It’s a fucking stupid statement made by a moron.

[@CarToneHK]

This is brilliant, it shows Alex and Chris different personality, yet they can just talk and talk. Cause deepdown, we're car enthusiasts.

[@MrMuzace]

Two guys who are not only journalists but genuine car fans - gotta love them - doesn't mean I have to agree with them but you gotta love the passion, the desire to express an opinion and convey their perspective on motoring.

[@BarneyWobba]

HEHE It's Alex Roy :) He is the reason I bought my old E39 M5 :D Clio 200 Cup...epic piece of kit.

[@FullxCollapse]

"Everything I know about the United Kingdom I learned from an amazing documentary called Braveheart"

[@Bozkai]

It's funny that people don't understand that Alex is just a massive troll. Don't take anything he says seriously lol.

[@Speedwelltuning]

Sounds like a pathetic trait to have tbh.

[@thehumanoid6543]

@@Speedwelltuning Considering he's the one with the money and the people who like him, I'd say sarcasm is a pretty imp trait tbh. It's why people used to watch alex roy's show.

[@cod593]

"so far this is the best driving road I've seen in England" But it's not, you're in wales, a different country.

[@jfox873]

Alex, where'd you go! Come back, drive is not the same without you.

[@natevandyke1372]

Chris harris himself is the new top gear.

[@baloonia1]

I actually was waiting for this meet to happen and I'm looking forward watching the rest of the episodes.

[@_chipchip]

Chris you hit the nail on the head, and you ARE the man to give us the reviews.

[@BadlyDubbed]

Nicely done guys - Good dynamic from two genuine car guys. Life would be dull if we were all the same.

[@cargen12]

gt3 being driven in that landscape is just the definition of perfection

[@silvermannnnnnn]

Just when I thought this channel couldn't get any more interesting, your bring Chris Harris along for the ride. Now that is a group I'd like to go to the 'pub' with!

[@ThunderChunky101]

Veal? Sheep?!

[@timud]

'I was just beginning to like the guy and then he said that he bought a TT cause of its looks' 😆

[@BarneyWobba]

Alex Roy is the reason I bought an E39 M5 :D

[@MikeZ32TT]

Chris, you got it right about car reviews. Great show Alex, you make me laugh.

[@VonStrappen]

Superb. The combo of culture, taste and crossed-up banter I hoped would materialise. What joy.

[@6SHIFTER1]

AH when you put two auto journalists together and let them shoot the shit. You could listen for hours and never get bored! Looking forward to part2

[@DuudeWhatDoesMineSay]

Chris Harris and Alex Roy in the same show? Incredible.

[@3rdObstacle]

/DRIVE is my favorite car culture show. Hands down. Even over a TG. And it's because of stuff like this and Chris Harris. Thank you.

[@sebastianspalding5016]

I live only few miles from this location and drive this awsum road all the time, hopefully one day i will see Chris Harris filming there one day as I love watching his you tube channel.

[@TheHeftyDanielson]

Loving these series's with Alex Roy. Would it be possible for you guys to do a few videos on public tuning? I know you guys do the Tuned series with Matt what I love but it would be great to see some amiture tuning? Love the work, keep it up guys.

[@es5133]

Veal?????? All I can see are sheep, and thus mutton or lamb.

[@SuperDodoe]

he makes a better writer then a tv personality or he's just another rich duschbag ny'r

[@ElGrantus93]

Chris Harris is EASILY the BEST youtube motor journalist

[@Ainocorrida81]

Glad someone else picked up on this.

[@AlternativeUses]

This type of video wouldn't work with many reviews but with Chris and Alex its very entertaining

[@cwhouser]

All I heard was 'Hey guys, I'm basically just like Chris. So you all should love me too!' - Alex

[@ABSjazz]

Awesome awesome awesome. Cant wait for parts 2 and 3!

[@rf9224]

Chris Harris is a (worshipful) dude who happens to live in Wales. I put it to you welshdude6669 sir, that you and Chris Harris are one and the same! But regardless, you are absolutely correct. Chris Harris is the bee's knees, the dog's bollocks, the cat's pajamas, the hamster's Malteser-stuffed cheek pouches and the budgerigar's pocket-watch rolled into one animal-kingdom-esque collection of awesome and peerless skill. Mad props to Lord Harris of Hoon.

[@mitchellblu3]

OMFG. I FORGOT COMPLETELY ABOUT ALEX ROY. I have had the honor of meeting him in person, and purchasing his book and having him sign it.

[@mikecoleman4927]

I think most of the people that hate Alex don't pick up his humour, he is a genuinely funny fella.

[@nvrlftofficial]

E24 M5... ?

[@davidpineda645]

Its the old m5

[@nvrlftofficial]

@@davidpineda645 No, the E28 was the first M5. The E24 was the M6.

[@welshdude6669]

I literally could not have put it better myself, that comment was quite the literary wonderment I must say! And yes, I'd like to think of Mr Harris as somewhat of an idol. I too have a particular affiliation with doing skids on some of the fantastic roads Wales has to offer..

[@rjs15570]

Two opposite characters talking about a universal theme..love of cars and driving. Long live DRIVE....and Chris.

[@DJKrissJ]

Thanks for that. It certainly is a beautiful part of the country. :-)

[@hazdahunter]

NOOOOO Don't end the video! I could sit listening to this debate for days!

[@swanblake]

I'm I the only one who happens to think Alex is golden? The guy's humor is hillarious if you pay attention and his delivery is even better because he can keep a straight face. He makes up history and tells it so convincingly you believe him if you don't know your shit. I love you Alex, keep up the good work. One of my favorite shows.

[@MickeyD100]

I have been watching Drive from the beginning and have my favorites, Chris being the main one. Alex has occasionally rubbed me the wrong way, because he's in-your-face and sometimes a bit abrasive. However, I really enjoyed this video and could absolutely see myself BSing with him about cars and life, & I've always found him a charismatic dude with a ton of fascinating stories to tell. I'm looking forward to the next two parts of this series and will go back to some of his other eps as well.

[@IdFightMyDad]

Stop. Calling. Sheep. Veal!

[@mikecoleman4927]

Its. A. Joke!

[@IdFightMyDad]

It's. And I don't think he was joking.

[@staggabob]

IdFightMyDad I don't think he is either. If it's a joke it's not very good.

[@ceounicom]

I know. once was maybe forgivable, but the fact that he said it twice, and in the *overdubbed commentary*, no less (meaning he had the opportunity to correct himself after the fact).... jesus, man. You don't deserve Veal if you don't know what the fuck it is.

[@nl3712]

Baaaaaaaah

[@tfull26]

Awesome - pure perfection. Thank you

[@toniomineo]

Am I the only one who likes his videos? I like alex's style..

[@Maghau6]

Lol, so funny .. cant wait for the next episode, when is it? Cause, there is more!

[@JanMichaelFranklin]

I was so excited when I saw that Alex went over to England to hang out with Chris Harris, and this doesn't dissapoint! I would love to play third wheel with these guys!! Beer, great conversation, and fast cars!!

[@Speedwelltuning]

They were in Wales! Not England!

[@SCS2KCR]

This would be a lifelong dream of mine to meet Harris and go for a chat and drive.

[@ReclusiveDuck]

Don't know if this has been mentioned but if anyone is interested the road they're driving is the B4560 between Llangynidr & Garnlydan. It's been used by Top Gear several times in the past (CLK Black most recently iirc), and memorably Tiff Needell absolutely caning a TVR back in the 90's, plus by various car mags over the years too. Great road but, after a very close call a few years back, I can confirm Alex is right to be concerned about the sheep running out!!!

[@budddyrda]

Alex really nailed the Hunter S. Thompson look in the video.

[@kennyyan88]

Can't wait part 2

[@welshdude6669]

It does indeed, one of my favourite roads in the world is that from Llangynog to Bala, having recently purchased an E46 clubsport upon finishing university, I enjoyed that very road far too much last weekend!

[@jjhoops023]

Just by the title I can tell this is gonna be great xD

[@MrTitration]

J.F Really glad to see the direction Drive is moving in, is it possible to make a video on how to get into automotive journalism, or just how you started out?

[@PrimeEden]

The music throughout the intro and buildup to 0:47 was very pleasant.

[@livewiya]

I'll admit I am a Chris Harris acolyte, but just hearing Alex converse with Chris made me like Alex more.

[@mzondi1970]

Im glad i stumbled on these videos a few weeks ago

[@tubejorrit]

Because of Chris Harris I bought a Clio RS 200! thx Chris!

[@costasmandylor7252]

I enjoyed this series.

[@Dangoldmedia]

Awesome meet up guys.

[@66ott7]

I love Chris. such a talented guy. AND, he built arguably the most desirable car Iv ever laid eyes on. The 1971 green 911 ST he spent 2 years on. Just a brilliant Porsche. Chris rulz!

[@abe3567]

Welcome to Wales... Know those roads well a favourite of top gear when filming.

[@GUMB4LL3OOO]

if u're talking about Roy, I'd like to remind you that he did NY to Santa Monica pier in 31 hours and 4 minutes

[@GrannySmith1313]

"Could go on all night"... please do. This is amazing.

[@mrcameltoe1980]

The "drive" guys are new to me. And I'm happy. Yay ! Up there with top gear. Real petrolheads. Proper job lads.

[@MatthewHokie]

It took Chris Harris in one of Alex's shows to make me watch him the whole way through. It confirmed to me why I never make it through one of his shows.

[@sasajungic89]

I really enjoyed this video. Chris is a very interesting chap. :)

[@Nemesis093781]

Great show looking fwd to part 2 Thumbs up.

[@markreyes4627]

Alex, Chris, cool cars and fun times, but also the intro track is so catchy I don't know why.

[@anastasmateev]

baby blue gt3 3.8 is my dream, since i saw it for first time in AutoBild Germany in 2009

[@spacecowboy421]

When two legends meet.

[@jonsimcoe]

Yay! Alex Roy is back!

[@Disc0Potat0]

We also have the Mazda Speed3 here in the US. That's a fun, affordable hot hatch. Looks pretty good when cruising down the road as well.

[@mathewwhittle10]

Chris...never given you a thumbs up before...well deserved!!!!!!!

[@danspratt2]

clicked this video purely because it said Chris Harris on it

[@nateh13]

Chris Harris completely dominates this interview and Drive in general. Chris Harris for the win!!!!!!

[@QT31160]

but it was good to watch the video. I have also loved cars since I was a child, but unfortunately I'm not on Drive... but I do still own a 205 GTI. The way you and Chris were talking about cars reminded me of me and my mates so all good stuff.

[@robbed111]

Great video, very enjoyable eavesdropping on their banter

[@banddude121]

He holds the record for crossing the US along with other things.

[@cedrac18]

Yes Chris and Carlos from Motortrend are my favorite reviewers just have to watch their show every week.

[@SteezyG]

Living the dream these two guys are!

[@EnFonde_6]

I would love to see the entire discussion, I loved it.

[@dodgykernt]

IM TORN!! Do I not watch cos of alex or watch cos of chris? DAMN YOU DRIVE!!

[@MrMillenium67]

It is either the B4560 or the B4558 roads that run near Crickhowell, Chris has done a video from there before. I do recognise it myself as I've driven on it but I'm not 100% sure. But I'm fairly sure it's one of the roads on the 'Llangynidr Moors'. Such a beautiful part of Wales..I was born in Ebbw Vale myself. :)

[@benjamingazdik]

MORE. MORE. MORE PLEASE

[@TheSmokingTire]

Easy... The Porsche was much more expensive, and you get more car with the Ferrari.

[@mopar6800]

Oh boy...I think he meant to say E28 M5. And the whole veal from sheep thing is too funny.

[@teamjnd]

This is a brilliant deep video about the love of cars.

[@SmolSnake]

Alex and Chris really make an interesting two-person show. Alex, the somewhat arrogant, not-so intelligent, bling-over-performance car guy. Chris, the true car enthusiast and his own strong opinions. They can only go back and forth on a discussion because neither thinks the other is ever right. It's great!

[@nls8520]

Chris Harris is the authority when it comes to a new car review.

[@gunhed70]

Love the vid! Seems like no matter where i go and who i meet as long as they are a car guy you will always have good conversation.

[@miltqllama]

Really cool to hear Chris comparing himself to Top Gear, I'm so glad that he can do his thing while they do their's, I love it all!

[@velocityinstereo]

This is very likely, my favorite episode of your show.

[@Nigbinski]

Alex really brings down the Drive network.

[@ketch_up]

Alex - your show is my favorite show on drive!

[@restless-ghost]

perfect music choice for the opening

[@datro864]

Whatever happened to "small" hatchbacks..? That Clio looks like an SUV parked next to the GT3 at the beginning..

[@eoinr2379]

I hope Chris Harris is on Top Gear, he's so interesting in what he says, his opinions etc. If he does go to Top Gear though, I hope he continues with his long in depth chilled out videos.

[@jamiewilkinsracing]

These two should be the new Top Gear

[@JoelStrickland]

great idea to get Chris and Alex together, could ave watched them chatting for hours. Yes I agree stop being so hard on Alex? I love his pieces to camera and the fake history piece. Alex and Chris keep up the great work.

[@AshtonCoolman]

New Drive T-Shirt: text - "I Love Veal", picture - a sheep....This shirt will sell like hotcakes!

[@JulioArreaga]

This was very entertaining. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this video, and not because Chris Harris was on it but because we see a different side of Alex; a more humble, approachable human being. Not that your other videos were bad, but there was a lot of talking in this video and I didn't find myself wondering when I was going to get to see actual cars driving around.
