Harris... looks like he's gonna be after Clarkson's job with almost a copycat style of review.

All 911 porkers are the same - they all handle pretty well. We already know that, so bit of a waste of time video with just another lightweight massive spoiler version

There are three videos, which one do you mean? If it was the Civic crash, that was a couple of years ago too IIRC.

The 4.0 RS was more than just a lightweight spoiler, Tony!

He was paying £10k a year interest! Who (of moddest means) would borrow £100k for a car?

High risk.

Regardless, i'm a big fan and he can drive a bit too

He often loses big chunks of money on his cars just for the sake of checking the box of having owned and driven one. He probably lost more than our S2000's are worth on his 599 and will likely do the same on the FF he has. But he loves cars and obviously makes enough for it.

I bet he's stretching himself less on these than I am on my S2000

Git.

I couldn't care less what he makes/looses its not my concern, all I am thankful for is that he presents these cars with such an honest opinion, a genuine petrol-head if ever there was one. That other video of him in the F40/F50 is right up the top, I've never seen them driven like this before.
