Variable Valve Timings - Chris Harris

[Honeywell]

WHAT AN UTTER wkER!!

Only joking.

I put that in just to fool whatever AI algorithm controls our future lives.

Having just finished listening to the book on Audible I am just a little bit moved by the experience. Probably because we are the same age, had a sporty Peugeot at the same time, have a strong connection with Bristol, I was hooked on this book. I admire the clear fact he does not let the public in on his Homelife and the more subtle elements where he doesn't dish the full dirt on the walking talking ginger ahole that I know to be Mr Evans.


If Clarkson is God, Chris Harris is Jesus Christ.



He'd like that. I recommend VVT to forum members. It's worth a listen/read.

I started reading this last night, and am really enjoying it. A couple of very touching moments, as well as ones that made me howl with laughter (I won’t spoil it, but the behaviour of his pal in the Elise “incident” was particularly amusing).

Harris comes across well - appreciative of a comfortable upbringing and articulate. He conveys quite a few emotions I’ve felt about growing up loving cars and consuming the motoring media; Car & What Car magazines to him is what Evo and Top Gear were, to me.

Yes. This exactly.

He's a fantastic walking advert for Britishness. And indeed modern Britain. An uplifting book.

Eh? What does Britain and Britishness have to do with it?

He's an adopted non-white kid given the top spot on the BBC. His life should have been st but there he is in a 911 living an amazing life and being self deprecating.

Wasn't he privately educated? And being non -white shouldn't be such an issue.

I really like the guy and his life mirrors mine very closely but I am not sure we can thank Britain for his success.

I think we can.
