Harry’s Garage
All:
Forgive me if this is a repost, but I reckon Harry is one of the best car video guys out there. Lots of cool cars, honest reviews of them, and some road trips most of us can only dream of. https://youtu.be/iKsj5r-FnYg Enjoy. Cheers, Paul.

He's one of my favourite YouTubers but some of his earlier video are really difficult to watch because the sound quality is just awful.
His recent Lambo engine rebuild videos are worth watching.

For those who don't know, he was a farmer who used a grain silo bank loan to start and fund EVO instead, which under his care was THE best car magazine in the world for many years...
He since sold it and it's not quite as good as it used to be but still up there as car mags go... Very interesting guy - great podcast of him on Chris harris "collecting cars" if interested. |

yeah definitely one of the better youtube automotive channels. I guess I can forgive him for getting rid of his 930 not that long ago. THe podcast with chris harris interviewing him is fantastic. You can tell they are both authentic car guys to the core.

He's not bad.
I used my Dad as a gauge, he is always entertained with Top Gear (the original boys) and then I transitioned to Harry's garage and my dad promptly fell asleep about 5 minutes into the first video..laughing.

Harry is a real enthusiast and I enjoy his videos. Couldn’t stand the guys on Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson wore out his welcome long before he ever made it to television.

Sound quality is always bad on his videos. But I really liked the Lambo Countach video. The Carrera GT video highpoint was when he opened the engine lid.

I think he can be a little long winded at times but I do enjoy his perspective. I especially like his reviews of cars that he owns, he has a better perspective and tends to share interesting tidbits about them.

Probably the best videos on YouTube about these two cars right now.
(Thankfully they've fixed their sound issues) If you're into design you'll love this video. If not... It will be long a boring.

^ Oh yes, that was a good'n. I've been a fan of the P1 so it was a fantastic video to watch.
I liked the episode where Harry took his Rolls to the Arctic Circle. Or when he took the TR to the Sahara Desert. What a guy! |
