That has got to be one of the best car vids I've seen. I take my hat of to you Chris. That got across every bit of how exciting that was from watching those vids.

Superb video - thanks Chris.

It was a pleasure to watch someone lucky enough to drive these cars, but to genuinely appreciate the opportunity and for it to mean so much to them. An excellent video and well worth watching - even just to see someone achieve something on their bucket list.

Such a rare treat to see cars like that being driven hard and fast. A word of thanks to the lucky owner! I remember having that tape from Fast Lane and trying to explain to my mum, just why I was sat listening to cars on her music centre?

Brilliant review! In fact the best Harris video to date by a mile!!!

Couldn't take my eyes away for 1 second. Epic drifts by the F40 and glorious F1 sounds from the F50. What was Clarkson on about in his DVD slating the F50!!!!!!!

Only thing left to say is "SAVE MARK HALES!" Top bloke.

Wonderful video. Two very, very special cars driven the way they should be.

Thank you Chris for the animation and passion, thank you Mark Hales for your insights, and thank you to the owner for making this video possible. cloud9

What a great video, may well be the best thing Chris has ever done and that is saying something! The F40 would be the first car in my lottery-winning garage, I love everything about it and I doubt anything else will ever top it for me.

I would choose M135i over those.
Your havin a larf! No. My M135i went back to the dealer this week, too playstation with all that electronic nonsense. 1M comes tomorow with manual gearbox, 1 setting for the suspension and hydraulic steering to join the caterham. Looks like (somehow...) i need a F40 too.... Mmmm older is better...??

Great vid - i wish i could drive like that with the ovan gloves on!

Assuming Chris Harris reads this, I'd be curious to know how he'd order the 288GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo if asked to rank them?

Great video of brilliant cars! Nice to hear thoughts of what the F40 was like 'back in the day' so to speak smile

My favourite Chris Harris video only second to the Mille Miglia one.

I hope we will see more classic car videos from him in the future. The old cars are just so much more interesting to watch compared to todays soulless high performance machines.

Please Chris, more "old car" videos!

Amazing video again, Chris. Thank you so much.

I'm no big Ferrari fan, but I was just blown away by the noise of the F50......
