Anybody else enjoy his 'Evo Diaries'?

He has a certain charm and endearment - like a relative I suppose who lets us into his garage.

I get as sense he doesn't seem to take his job for granted and that he's in a privileged position.

Just looked through a few this evening!

Zonda, Ferrari 330, his modern Maserati, trip to France in an Enzo and from France back to the UK in his Countach.

Great videos. Really interesting. Just a shame there's not more of them!

I met him briefly at GFOS last year. A very nice and down to earth chap. Passionate about cars and easy to talk to.

Good lad from what I can glean and I love reading his diaries.

I too enjoy his reviews. Feels more personal some how than other review video's, really puts you in the car.

I like his videos - he does come across as a petrolhead, much the same as most of us on this website. However, when he is writing, I think it goes to his head a bit, and it does come across as a bit "Me, me, me". That piece about him going to McLaren to put their car right was simply cringe-worthy!

Harry Metcalfe is amazing!

His 'EVO' segments are great. I love the Zonda C12S, Evoque and many other diary clips he has added.

It is only him and Chris Harris I bother watching now.

I think he is deadly boring. Reading his pieces about supercars is like knowing how exactly Keira Knightley does number two. Who on earth is interested in this?
