All the best.

The E30 rally stuff MADE me go out and buy a cheap E36 Compact for Targa Rallys.

Time sure flies by when you are having fun!

Two of my favorites:

Rolling up to a trail centre with a MTB in the Ferrari

And also

Ferrari stuck on the lawn

All the very best and thank you.

You are a living legend I must say. You've got the gift son. You were born to review cars and entertain. Keep up the good work and all the best in whatever you do smile

(p.s: I learnt to use the word "gubbins" from you lol)

Don't agree, I met him once and he was an arrogant wker

Saw his grey 911 Turbo parked outside the dry cleaners near where I live and thought "Wow! Its Chris Harris" so I hung around to say hello and meet him. 20 minutes in freezing 2 degree cold and he comes out and I say hello and he shakes my hand. I say that I really like his car reviews and all that to which he just says "yeah yeah nice yeah, bye". Gets into his Porsche and drives off. Can't even spare 10 seconds for a fan.

Its true what they say, don't meet your heroes.

frown Sad to see you go Harris, PH is a great place for journo's to be able to interact with readers in a meaningful way and will be sad to see you leave. Hope to be able to read more of your stuff somewhere though!

Best of luck Monkey, I think you'll be sorely missed.
yes

I'm one of probably a small %age of PH'ers who has actually met him.
Bloody nice bloke and hugely knowledgeable about cars, and this is a huge loss to PH.

All the best with wherever you decide to go next Chris. Be assured that wherever that is, i will be following!

Of all the motoring journalists that ive seen you are, by some stretch, the one which i relate to most and i thank you and your team for bringing some bloody cracking content to both drive and PH.

Keep up the good work and i hope to bump into you one day!

He'll be easy to follow - just look for the melted/cremated tyre marks on the way out of PH Towers.

Take care out on the Dooo-cardi!

You'll be missed.

I saw you at the Driver's Paddock at GWFOS with your little lad on your shoulders!


All the best.

Have a read of the Jason Plato thread linked in CH's article. You don't even need to read it all, just the opening tirade to get the jist of the joke. Flick through if you really want to see Plato in ill fitting jeans and some custard.

I am full of admiration of the way you get yourself into some pretty outstanding motors for 6 months or so whilst remaining solvent so I am sorry you're leaving. Really enjoyed all the videos.

A sad day indeed. Thanks Mr H for all your reviews and interesting threads/vids - everyone worth reading/watching.
I'll be waiting outside the dry cleaners if I ever catch sight of a dog eared/dog infested Audi parked by.

Take care on the Duke...you can be as safe as houses on it but you can't account for others stupidity.

Best of luck in whatever you choose to do next.
