The best way to watch Chris (and for that matter Petrolicious and the other great car content now on the net) on TV, it to stream it onto your TV through an xbox apple TV etc or directly if you have Virgin and one of their Tivo boxes.
Or any decent smart TV with a youtube app will do it without any extra boxes 
That's how I watched it.
Without doubt the best explanation of what an F40 is, what it does and how it makes you feel, it is absolutely bang on.
I remember my first ride in one in 1995, and every subsequent drive in one, starting when I was in my early 20's (working for a Ferrari dealer which i did for 9 years).
I wish I realised then how lucky I was, I did however realise how special it was, thank you Mr Harris for showing the world exactly what an F40 is and why it's so good :-).

13 pages on a 25 yr old badly built car with no safety aids or gadgets.
On average that's 10 pages more than any modern super car can manage.
Says rather a lot doesn't it? Like we've gone backwards really. Too many wires, too few cables.
...I pass a McLaren dealership most days and have very little interest in what they sell.On average that's 10 pages more than any modern super car can manage.

Having said that, I wouldn't turn down a test drive...

I remember reading this edition of the magazine, many times, as a young lad:
I've still got that copy upstairs tucked away with other car mags.
As for this video? I'll keep it short:
Bloody epic. The owner of the cars, Chris, and PH deserve a big group hug for this one.

Lovely cars but lets be honest, they're both utter piles of s
t (not the slightest exaggeration) compared to an F1.
What a stupid thing to say.t (not the slightest exaggeration) compared to an F1. Not saying these aren't great cars but Chris's comment on the F40 being the best supercar ever is a bit of a laugh.
t (not the slightest exaggeration) compared to a Veyron?Much enjoyed, thanks.
I think it's so special because the shape of the F40 itself is iconic to many of us, and then to see *that* shape, rotating in three dimensions as it moves around on the track and kicks sideways, is very special. The moment at 7'00 when the F40 just sliiiides into the frame is magic.
Also v good to hear from Mark Hales.
Obviously nothing can really top this film, however if you get a chance to thrash any other iconic supercars, that would be good
