What's happened to the Harris vids?

[ColdSyphon]

I can't be the only PH'er who finds Chris's videos very enjoyable...has he stopped making them or something as I note there haven't been any round these parts for a while?

M3/M4 one last week...

I haven't been keeping up as I was watching them on my PS3 but the YouTube app seems to have given up the ghost.

Thought the same, I don't think it's available yet?

The last one I see is a BMW i8 one, unless I'm looking in the wrong place >_<

Great. I liked most of Drive's stuff. /Inside Koenigsegg and the /Tuned mainly.

Harris was apparently tweeting something about a paid YouTube channel, but I'd want more than 5 - 15 min episodes for my money though!

Was just about to say the same thing /DRIVE is going to NBC sports channel.

Video trailer for it here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgcWtA3RBDU&li...

Looks to be Chris Harris, Matt Farah and (not sure of other blokes name)

The Red E30 on /TUNED was a damn good watch!

He was also asking opinions on twitter about paid content on YouTube, if they would pay for longer, more ambitious films. So he seems to be moving in that direction. Good luck to him.

I do wish him luck with that as I'm a fan of the Chris Harris stuff on /DRIVE, but do think that's potentially a bit of a minefield - mostly because of people already paying subscriptions for things such as Sky, Spotify, Netflix, etc... I think people will only want to pay so much for their electronically delivered content.

Personally I wouldn't pay, but good luck to him.

Sad to hear that.

I've never met him, what's he like?

[jimbobs]

This makes me very sad. My commute has been made more bearable by downloading the Drive vids onto a tablet to watch on the train.

So, does anyone know if NBC sports is view-able in the UK? Will there be a way to download the show?

Smart arse comment but I'll comment.

Not talking about him in 'real life', just cannot stand his videos which is my right.

If it makes you feel better, if I did motoring videos I know there would be more people disliked me than Harris and that would be their right too.

For the record, I cannot stand the motoring journalism of Clarkson, Hammond or May but have never net them in real life either.

Maybe there saving up for the P1, 918, La Ferrari head to head

Would be hugely sad if these videos were to stop, one of the features I look forward to most.
