That's what I told you last time you asked too.

Yes, yes, I know

I guess I'm lazy for editing

At the risk of sounding stupid, what is that? It's very cool.

 

[LeVeL]

I didn't know what it was either. The Ralliart paint scheme is pure Mitsubishi and it says 2000 TURBO on the front so I googled. 79-87 Mitsubishi Lancer. 2.0L turbo 4-cyl.

 

[CraigB]

I figured it was a Mitsubishi, but I'd never seen one. Very awesome car.

 

[Posmo]

Very rare car too, basically for homologation. There is a Swedish historic rally car GT turbo lancer that occasionally enters rallies in Finland, always a nice sight.

^ That might be one of Chris Harris's best videos, if not the best. I didn't follow Goodwood so I didn't know the result while watching; truly exciting. Absolutely epic race.

And this, boys and girls, is why Chris Harris is better than Top Gear.

Also @ 10:30

My palms are sweaty from watching that. I'm not exaggerating.

 

[Red Falcon]

Chris Harris on cars would be THE perfect car and driving show if it weren't for 3 missing ingredients:

Jeremy Clarkson
James May
Richard Hammond

The "TG is over" crowd please forgive me, but I've watched almost all of CH on cars videos, and what I found lacking was exactly... those 3 crazy brit blokes clowning around. CH simply doesn't have the same "flair", the same fun factor. The passion is there though, obviously! Just not with the same amount of fun TG manages to produce

Maybe because he does his reviews on his own and with a fraction of the budget.

 

[MXM]

Or maybe his goal is not to make a comedy show.

 

[IceBone]

His cameraman needs practice, though. A cheap steadicam rig and the knowledge of 180? shutter rule would help a lot. They already have sliders, so that's ok.

Meanwhile in the Top Gear camp.. (spoiler-ish, I guess)

Let's just say I want the Peniston Oils -grade contrived japery to die an overdue death.

Exactly. He's entertaining enough without being annoying.
