The fact that Harry actually drives all of these amazing cars is why I love this channel!
Indeed! I live vicariously through this man and his obsession!! thanks Harry!!
Thankfully not Harry's next videos:
- Taking my Countach for a wrap at Dub Customs.
- New exhaust for my Countach
- Shall I sell my Countach?
- Straight piping my Countach, it's so loud!!!
Matt, thanks for expressing that. And a I have said before, the "Shall I sell my Countach???!!!!!" is in big yellow letters in the thumbnail, with the guy's face all twisted up with what he thinks is a humorous expression when to me it looks like he needs to take a dump.
Don't forget the same over used free license electronic "music" followed by "Hwhat's up guys SikkWhips420 here..."
A big red circle around the exhausts in the thumbnail aswell
- end up at 'youtube square' for the inevitable photos
Aaaahh... The sight of a red Countach on a twisty mountain road. It's my boyhood poster picture coming to life. Perfect!
He literally bought a physical map to get around France, I give him props for that. Haha
I bought a road map recently. I much prefer it to Sat Nav.
In reality, going on real road-trips, you can’t manage without a proper map! How do you want to judge the roads, curvy ness, width, etc...?
Using the spoiler as a table is also Mr Cool guy.
I like this channel it feels like he's personally talking to me ,Harry's my BFF 😀 but he won't let me drive.
God bless your wife for dealing with a road trip in a countach
it's just the best thing in the world when you find a woman brain-damaged enough to put up with this kind of shit, i would imagine.
And for helping Harry film it.
I imagine Harry's wife knew what she was getting into when she married the man. It's not like he has ever kept the car obsession a secret!
Is it just me or wasn’t that actually his daughter going with him?
Yeah, I was thinking she's a good sport. That doesn't seem like the best car to tour in, so thanks for putting up with his shit, and thanks for filming and sharing. She's alright in my book.
Harry Uploads, I like, then watch the video. Guy is pure class
I love those Harry's road trip videos. They actually inspired me (amongst some other things) to buy an MX5 an drive along the Croatian and Montenegrin coast.
i live in the US and here in my region we dont have much roadtrip worthy spots but i want to move back to Europe so i can do one of these for myself
Hats off to a true petrolhead...Harry's wife !!!!
Good to see the plug on hotels you have used and where to get fuel. A petrolhead Michelin guide
I agree, Harry can you post more details of route & hotels, I've been making some notes while watching but missed a few bits.
Nice definition, Sir
I just love how enthusiastic you are in presenting and doing these trips Harry. Props to the Mrs as well for being a great videographer!
I have basically watched Harry's videos for most of the day and what a joy. He is a very successful man but he is totally down to earth and the videos are both informative and enjoyable. If I get out of my hole, I want to buy a classic and enjoy driving it wherever it wants to take me. What is lovely about these videos is that there are no gimmicks, no whooping audiences, just pure driving pleasure
No Harry you're doing it all wrong! You're supposed to store the Countach in a garage under a cover and never drive it. Then you can sell it for profit when you're on your deathbed and too old to drive a car. Wait... that doesn't sound good at all. We need to rethink this over.
Diabolos1 don't forget use a mma or violence inducing username and hunt internet forums like a wolf
That is the spirit. That is what makes Harry so different (in the most positive of senses). Thank you, Harry!
Harry reminds me of Jay Leno in that way...it doesn't matter how rare or valuable a car is, he'll still drive it. It was pretty loud, though...but so nice to hear that glorious engine at full song! :-)
aussiebloke609 lol, poor man's J Leno. I bet it isn't often harrying gets referred to as the poor man.
However it's great he treats these cars as cars, sparingly of course.
And you won't catch Harry getting his cars trailered across Europe either!
Love the road trip vids. Especially with the Countach. Love to see my childhood (and current) dreamcar isn't as horrible to drive as everyone else says it is.
They are a pretty awesome piece of kit. I'm told they're not so much fun as a daily commuter...but that's to be expected, as it was designed to be a proper sports/GT car, for the open road, not something to be sitting in rush hour traffic. (And if you are stopped in traffic...just admire how it looks in the nearest shopfront window!) :-)
Thanks Harry, it was a pleasure
all those drama filled car shows could learn alot from harry s videos, a great car, a great road and a genuine man enjoying every minute of it , a great formula thanks harry , its such a pleasure . How about an update on the 2 door XJ
i think the OG top gear and The Grand Tour are the only shows i enjoy with cars that are over the top lol
Remember James May wining about driving Countach in Top Gear for like 5 min and then you watch this. God bless you Harry :)
raulio81 Tiff Needal whined quite a bit about the Countach too during his F40 review. Uncomfortable, hot, hard to shift, etc. Nothing on the sound, the amazing looks or emotions it invokes. Goes to show that people will choose what to pay attention to.
@@overbuiltlimited yup. these old cars definitely require a certain mindset to properly enjoy them. they wont be like a comfy aventador but harry couldve gotten an aventador if he wanted that but instead he bought the countach for the experience
‘’Why I sold my Lamborghini “ You don’t get that rubbish on a proper car lovers channel like this one! lol 😂 Great video Harry😎
why mention kids content?
Those kids have to sell their exotics because they require the owner to practice preventative maintenance.
@@Full_Otto_Bismarck its mostly that and to get a new car to keep the viewers interested. i love the stradman, hes the only of those guys that i watch but he sells and buys way too much
Can't get enough of Harry's Countach adventures.
Iiving vicariously through you mate
I could watch this all day. There's just something about the Countach that brings out the kid in me. I saw one in the flesh a few years back and nearly teared up. I need to get my Contact fix online and Harry is always the number one choice. He speaks so well on camera you feel he's talking directly to you.
Bravo old chap. Another Countach classic!
What a bloody nice bloke Harry seems to be. He's obviously very fortunate to have such an incredible stable of cars and bikes to play with but he actually uses them as they were intended and recognises how lucky he is.
Harry, you are slowly building the best car channel on the internet. Cheers to you and your wife and thank you very much for sharing.
Living the dreams of every kid from the 80's. Awesome.....
What a beast. Just like I thought it would be. Thanks for posting!!
My fav car in Harry's garage. Great version of a classic.
Thanks for the ride, great video
Whenever Harry posts a video, you know its a great one!👌😎 cheers
What a noise the countach makes.
Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
You gotta love Harry . The car’s in “rude health.” He’s the best auto journalist in the biz.
HARRY!!! I'm over from the US and am literally driving the route Napoleon for the first time tomorrow! Thanks so much for the video and keep them coming :)
What I truly love about Harry's Garage videos is that Harry "drives" and "uses" his exotic and interesting cars for what they were designed, drive them hard and have fun with them!
It is very apparent the good care he does to his automobiles, it is obvious that he understand the main mechanical aspects involved in them.
His cars don't look absolutely perfect as many other storage beauties but that is exactly what I like about Harrys machines and his videos.
Happy Christmas to Harry and all the car fans watching this channel!
Never really got the Countach before watching Harry's videos; I get it now.
Finally somebody who DRIVES those supercars from the 80's! This way you can enjoy the ride (even when it's hard, still enjoy), and also show the world and everbody on the road this beautiful car! It sounds amazing too, unfortunately they don't make them anymore like this... Great video, thanx!
I love that you actually drive these cars. So much more interesting to watch, and wonderful to see these beauties in action!
Brought back happy memories of riding that route on my 600 Yamaha in 2007. That Lamborghini sounds just amazing!
Thanks for teaching us how to live life properly, Harry. Respect from the USA
Epic soundtrack and the Countach looks better in motion than posing again for a picture, and no man with petrol in his blood can resist the pinup girl beauty of it. Harry, you combine the motion and the sound with some breathtaking footage through the iconic roads of Europe in real world wet and cold and fog etc - you know the kind of stuff you dreamed of pushing a V12 super through all your life and it makes the hair stand. Then you talk about the experience with unassuming reality like it's really just no big deal. Makes you likable and us dreamers need you to help keep the dreams alive.
Grand touring across europe in the iconic Countach is the way it's supposed to be. Harry continues to set the standard!......Thanks.
Would love to see Harry doing Top Gear. His knowledge, experience and love of everything with an engine is truly wonderful.
Smashed it again Harry, what a great video
what a life to live; glad Harry takes the time to share these trips with us!
You are an inspiration, Harry. I recently took my NSX about 1200 miles to Road America, ran on the track for two days, and came home in it. I thought about your epic trips while planning this one.
I bet Harry's wife is like, "Can we please just go in the Range Rover this time...' 😂
Baz Walker ...I bet she is exactly the opposite!
She’s like.. ‘see you down there Fam, I’m taking the plane to Genva’
I knew the wing was for something! Great to see these cars driven on road trips.
You just can't resent Harry having all these cars, first and foremost he drives them, and as they were meant to be driven, and he allows us to vicariously enjoy them too! What a gent!
If I were given the opportunity to have a beer with any of the automotive youtubers I follow, Harry would be my first, second and third choice. Thank you for your work.
Harry's Garage is the best motoring enthusiast channel on TH-cam bar none, thanks Harry and thanks to your wonderful wife.
A proper Brit thrashing around in expensive cars, no ego no special effects! Love it
im 26years old..I grew up with the Countach era...I just want to say that I appreciate this video so much and you sharing it with us..also your wife for doing a great job filming and putting up with such a harsh road trip LOL. but thanks! Love it and drive safe!
I wished for another big Countach video for years, thank you Harry for delivering
I love these type of videos Harry!
What an amazing car, with an equally amazing soundtrack! As always thank you so much Harry for providing us the opportunity to ride along with you in another one of your epic journeys.
It is such a joy to see these wonderful cars you have being driven on the roads! Usually folks keep them in garages under covers and never drive them,
What a sound! Great video...I did part of the Route Napoleon 11 years ago on my Honda Fireblade 929, and that was a great experience!
Oh my that rear shot stunning landscape, wonderful noise, sun out, pops and overruns
Living the life! Thanks for sharing!
Recently did a roadtrip with my '92 Nissan 200sx through the Swiss alps, avoiding every highway and boy was that a blast! Thanks for your tips on Route Napoleon, that area will be my next roadtrip.
Done the Rout e Napoleon a few years ago with the GPS showing me the shortest way between waypoints. What a trip!! Got detours on small narrow roads with spectacular views. Nothing for the faint hearted though and definitely with much lower speed.
My favourite moment on the Route Napoleon was about 3/4 of the way along, heading south, when I came across a small ice cream unit sat in a gravel lay-by at the side of the road, with an honesty box. Just what was needed on a hot day!
Thank you Harry for the best car video's ever. I look forward to watching them after I come home from work.
What an amazing drive!!! Thank you Harry for sharing this! Always happy to watch your videos!! Cars are meant to be driven, yes!!!!
Finally, Lamborghini content that does not include speeding through Beverly Hills and bouncing off the rev limiter! What a fantastic channel!
Bloody brilliant Harry! I could listen to that sound forever.
I love the insight you give us on these cars Harry, an absolute iconic beauty and that noise.......bloody marvellous.
Just another example of how amazing your videos are. By far, the most connoisseur automotive TH-camr (if I can say so)! Keep on Harry!
Very enjoyable as usual. Drove that route myself back in August. Harry is right, it's amazing there. Looking forward to the next part. Harry's Garage really is spot on.
Engine singing, decent narration and no power sliding. Another quality video!
I absolutely love your videos. Was very excited to see a new video today.
Fantastic! This is exactly what I like to see in a TH-cam video. Driving the great auto routes in Europe in an exotic sports car. Hope to see more. Thanks Harry!
Wonderful escape video. The best of the British TH-camrs by far.
It's just looks fantastic and sounds great! so flat to the ground, thank you Harry for keeping this legend alive, looks better than most modern super cars!!
Harry your adventures are amazing and truly inspirational!! I find myself gravitating to your videos constantly..really well done!! thank you
Coming here after Harry brought it to tyrells garage. Comments about excessive road noise are more funny this time around
I drove this exact route to Castelane in my Alfa 156 and it was just an amazing drive. It takes you straight through the Gorges du Verdon with it's straight cliffs and epic scenery. Great to watch videos from real car enthousiasts, not clickbait posers trying to make a quick buck.
Amazing quality content as always. Rushed home to watch this. Thanks Harry 😁
Harry, this one is a delight! In view of your fantastic escapades I'm surprised this 1 doesn't have more views. All your trips are world class. Thank you for these, truly great.
This video has inspired me to what will be taking Route Napoleon as part of my next road trip. Do not own a GT car (yet) just a sensible hybrid but watching Harry, and others but mostly Harry, has turned me into a petrolhead somewhat but more importantly a massive fan of planning huge road trips through beautiful scenery.
Love the road trip and pro tips and that we can see it on a map to dream of replicating it
That's the plan. Lordy knows how many times I've driven across Europe but very happy to share a little bit of the knowledge I've built up over the years.
Who is watching for the third time or more? Think this is my fourth time. Love it Harry!
Love your trips Harry!
Harry, great upload, you're a real car connoisseur and beyond that you know how to enjoy life to the fullest. Keep up the good work!
Proper noise! Nothing artificial about them exhaust pops and bangs - loved hearing the Countach extended to 7k rpm
Im so happy you actually use that gorgeous car. Countach has been my favourite car since i was a child. :D
Been in your channel praticly since the start, never felt disapoined, always a pleasure to watch your vids Harry.
In Manchester we used to have a car sales garage that had a countach in and it was mine as many others childhood dream car ,it’s simply wonderful to experience the thrill of being behind the wheel with you and sharing the journeys you make , thankyou
Keep this style of video journalism up - it's awesome 5 star effort!
What a great video! Thanks to share the experience with us!
Thanks Harry - the youtube videos I look forward to the most!
Harry's missus does a very good job of filming these , sound quality is really good too, very professional, Im a real petrol head and I can't believe I've only discovered this channel, it is brilliant, Harry should have his own TV show, he is such a likeable and modest character, for him its all about the cars and driving them, the status element of owning a supercar is
totally zero in his world, I like that.
It's just such a really really good video! All Harry's videos are just so good! Cheers!
Really nice to see this car being used. Thanks for sharing your wonderful automotivr experiences with us Harry. Now that's what I call living the dream!
Great man. Very British. Very classy. I can't never get bored watching your videos and listen to you. Thank you for sharing
Brilliant Harry we went there this year in may in a 991.1 C2s, brilliant car for those roads...
Thanks 4 making this. Most of us will never experience the Countach, except through TH-cam. I really love the sound this V12 makes. So this car has looks & sound, and decent performance. I drive a car with similar qualities, though less exotic. I feel like I'm driving a Lambo everytime I get in it. This video lets me enjoy the beauty of the Italian supercar, while reminding me that when the snow finally melts here, I will be tearing up the mountain roads in my own supercar!
Such a joy to watch your videos Harry.
What a glorious noise.
It's a symphony
Pure quality in all respects
Just brilliant, thanks for sharing these Harry
What a great video! i would love to drive the route one day! Cant wait for part 2
Thanks for making these Harry, very pleasant to watch
I follow many great car TH-camrs, but Harry consistently puts out the best content
This is what car TH-cam videos are all about, the feel, the view, the history and most of all the passion. I can even smell that benzina! Great video Harry, you always choose the best cars.
i'm here in 30th september 2021 seeing ALL Harry's video!! What a great Man. I really miss the old good days on Evo Magazine but i'm glad to see that the party never stop!!
