Welcome aboard. I've been reading your stuff for years and love the fact you can call a shovel a shovel! Keep up the crusades about cars going to digital and running springs that are too stiff with sh!t dampers. They have both been complaint's of mine for ages wink

Nice intro Chris, get yourself over to //M barges thread and get spending your next months paycheque ( or finance should I say lol)
I must introduce the term 'borked' to you. It's reserved specially for old Broken //m's and pork.
Best of luck.
Matt

The only reason I ever ventured onto the EVO site - great to have you on board Chris, welcome to the mad house.

Will you be venturing to any Sunday services?

Is it possible to run a 456M GT for a year without bankrupting yourself? Try finding one first. Seems to be somewhat of a glut of autos but no manuals.

"How do I see PH? As a community with one shared passion: enjoying cars, bikes and pretty much anything that travels in a manner which cannot be considered ordinary."

But obviously not horses or bicicles, especially not on the road.

Lights blue touch paper and retires to a safe distance.

I see PH as a community but it's hard to put into words the correct emphasis on 'community'.

That Hitler video is the best thing I've seen on YouTube since Stefanie Hertel stumbled upon a classic car rally in the Mosel.

Already posted this on (another) Chris Harris thread, but it took me ages on my iPhone whilst bored round a relative's house. In all seriousness, I'll miss your writing in Evo, but at least you're coming to the only other place I read about cars. Welcome to PH!

Dear Chris, I wrote you but still ain't callin'
I left my mobile, my email, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a strike at the Royal Mail or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fk it, what's been up? Man how's your 911?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'm a call her?
I'm a name her Monkey
I read about your Ferrari thing too I'm sorry
I had a car company ban me over some bhing on Jalopnik
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the st that you did on Drivers Republic
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I even liked the st you did on the Koenigsegg Agera too, that st was fat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
Just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is David87

Dear Chris, you still ain't called or posted on PH, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me in the Welsh layby on eCOTY
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph on my 1:43 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
That's my little model, man, I ain't got a real one
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
For four hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty stty man, it's like your favourite fking car
I want it to be just like yours, man, but the wheels aren't white
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met at the Porsche Experience Centre, you said if I'd write you
You would write back, see I'm just like you in a way
I never liked the MX-5 either,
It makes you look gay and all the used ones are beaters
I can relate to what you're saying in your informative video reviews
So when I have a stty day, I drift away and put 'em on
Cause I don't really got st else so that st helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across my upper thigh
Sometimes I even think about getting the James May one on my other thigh removed
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Chris, no one does
She don't know what it's like for car geeks like us growing up
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, David87, P.S.
We should race together too.

Dear Mister "I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans",
This will be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
There ain't been no strikes
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the Nordschleife
Hey Chris, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who could a saved that other guy from drowning
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you could a rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall (even the one of your E63 AMG)
I love you Chris, we coulda raced together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See Chris,
Shut up bh! I'm tryin' to talk!
Hey Chris, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the boot
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the Fuchsröhre now
Oh st, I forgot, how am I supposed to post this st on PH?
Cheers!

FFS I should have come here first.
I just spent 10 minutes looking for it in the original thread.
Do you know how many cars I could have sold in 10 minutes?? Do you? Do you really?




None.




Anyway, welcome Chris. I've always liked reading/watching your stuff. If you ever need a used car............................

You called? How does one contact you round these parts? Emails are disabled on your profile (the original thread demonstrates why hehe)

Actually to save you the trouble, Chris, just get your RS 4.0 gift delivered to my home address and I'll sort out the insurance etc. Ta. beerwink
