I would like to see Harry doing something in the podcast domain... I find myself able to watch/listen to anything he uploads. I'm sure it would be successful, I'm just not sure what niche he could plonk himself in to do it. I'm sure he wouldn't want to step on the toes of the Collecting Cars podcast, having been a guest!

In the meantime I will continue to play my game of "Spot the Clio Trophy" in the background of his other vids.
I would love to hear Harry start a podcast as well. Like you said, I can and do watch anything he posts. His evident interest for things is absolutely fascinating

I really like Harry’s garage. I think it’s because he seems to review cars as if he is actually considering buying one himself. Which is the main reason I watch reviews personally. It’s for when I’m thinking of purchasing one myself.

I find a lot of reviewers just jump in the car spank it down the road. Just review how it is to drive, I get that is entertaining but also quite one dimensional.

I’m 28.

OK, I thought maybe it was an age thing but doesn't appear so based on responses so far.

Perhaps I am just the odd one out!

Strange thing is I actually enjoyed the collecting cars podcast with Harry (dont think I have disliked one episode as it goes).

The good thing is there is plenty out there that does tickle my fancy - watched one video of Salvage Rebuilds UK last night - I liked it.

Perhaps SOL or LLF is more up your street? Wikid, init?

I enjoy Harry’s videos (especially the farming) but then I’m an old fart (60) who falls over sheep.

Even my girlfriend enjoyed Harry's road trip to the Arctic circle in the Rolls (and any video that includes the Alpacas). Much like Jethro Bovingdon said on Collecting Cars, Harry's experience and knowledge mean his opinions are worth listening to and I love his passion for cars old and new.


I see Tavarish has got yet another big project. I thought perhaps after completing the Murcielago he might get a taste for actually finishing something, but seemingly not.

Do you think there might be some American tax loophole that means Septic Youtubers can write off the cost of these crashed cars until they sell them, so it is in their interest to never finish the project and crank out a video on the car every few months "LOL I'VE NOT DONE ANYTHING WITH MY $1 MILLION SUPERCAR [thumbnail of them doing a facepalm]" ?

I am interested to know the age of people on here that enjoy Harry's content?

I have tried a few times to watch different content of his (purely because he gets a lot of attention here) and still haven't made it it the end of a video, it just doesn't seem to engage me.

I am 34.
I'm 36 and I thoroughly enjoy Harry's Garage (and the farm channel). Harry if you're reading this just keep doing what ever it is that brings you happiness. It seems to rub off on the channels viewers. I find your enthusiasm and passion quite refreshing as its the same enthusiasm and passion shown regardless of the age or value of whatever car is the star of your videos. The road trips are great fun, I loved the recent trip down to Austria in the Lotus. It was a most enjoyable adventure.

And thanks to you I now realise a Huracan spyder won't be a viable option for me as I'm well over six foot tall.

45 here and Harry’s garage is the best thing on YouTube for me. I’ve watched a few of his videos multiple times. Very knowledgable and humble I am sure. Keep going Sir,

Started watching youtube regularly probably when I was 43. Filled my boots on Shmee, SOL, and STG....JWW soon added.
47 now, and of those I only now keep up with STG.
It's all Harry, Carfection, Smith'n'Snff, Cars with Luke, Petrolicious and SavageGeese.

Think I've replaced the sugary quick fix with stuff more relatable and bit 'deeper'

With regards to car companies selling what sells.
A massive ecological shame in just pure resources making such heavy machines.
How do people know what to buy if they're not given groundbreaking fresh ideas....(I know...big risk, low profit) like A2, i3...be interesting to see how the new Citreon Ami EV goes... Hopefully its a transitional thing, as the ICE generation die out.....hardly any kids I know (14-16) want to learn to drive, let alone own a car....

Have tried pretty much every other channel that involves cars and cant get into the rest!

Not sure how you reached that conclusion. Both are terrible.
