    Harry's Garage is my #1 for years. No one else presents cars in such a way. The absence of modern power terms in language just makes it so much better.

    Great interview, Harry is a national treasure, no side or big headedness, just great fun, tells us what he really thinks about the cars, his road trip videos are brilliant too!! A real English gentleman, we should all celebrate his humility, and self effacing good nature. Harry's farm is very interesting and educational too, the government and Defra need to listen to his concerns. Very knowledgeable, trained in agriculture, brilliant all round good chap!!. Cheers Peter.

    Sorry Harry, but the Esprit Turbo was in For Your Eyes Only. It was white at the start in Spain then the 'copper' car was indeed in Cortina. The S1 Esprit was in The Spy Who Loved Me and was in Sardinia. The underwater shots when it was a submarine were filmed in Bermuda. Sad Bond fan here if you never guessed....

      Looking at the clips of that trip in this video again makes me shudder. That really was a crazy trip and I'm so glad I was in that Rolls Royce, as it was only because it was so beautifully engineered in the first place, we got through okay! Beautiful country, though, we'd love to go back to Norway again...

    *New Subscriber* : That was a great interview. Interesting to hear the mechanics of how Harry produces his videos. I enjoy Harry's videos as much for his deep knowledge of the industry, and his continued curiousity about the future developments therein, as for the cars themselves. I'm not so interested in hugely expensive, limited run sports cars that I may never even see in real life. But his older cars, and multi-day trips are relatable in terms of suggesting possible itineraries, while allowing us to see what living with an older car can be like. And his annual "Sand Raiders" trip is a fantastic highlight. And *Harry's Farm* . his other channel, is a revelation. As a lifelong city dweller, Harry brings the rhythm, challenges, and economics of farming alive, and is one of my favourite YT channels. All the best, and greetings from Prague !

    Harry's trips in his cars are the best, with the decades old Rolls Royce to Norway being among the early episodes I watched, and still among my favourites. 60 years a motorcyclist (55 licenced), and seldom drive a car, I'm a fan of the motorcycle episodes too. Having worked on farms for many years, including 8 summers in the UK, Harry's Farm is also of interest to me.

    Hi from Australia. I love Harry's Garage. His reviews on new cars is wonderful as he picks up on little things that others don't. I remember his review on the Porsche GT3, the car I was truly in love with only to find it was not enjoyable on his particular roads and interior noise was quite high. His travels to Europe, particularly in classic cars makes for rivetting viewing.

    Really enjoy Harry's channels - Its easy to understand why I enjoy the Car channel but I also found myself really enjoying Harry's farm channel - I think fueled by the very enjoyable 'Clarksons farm' but I consider Harrys Farm to be a 'grown ups' version of that show - educational and interesting. Harry's a very likeable chap isn't he.

    The XJS video to Monaco to imitate the 1970s sales brochure is one of my favourite videos Harry has done , the trip to the Artic in Her Majesty, the Silver Shadow is up there too.
    Sorry Harry , but you got your Bond films wrong. The Spy who Loved me , with Sir Roger Moore and Barbara Bach was white all the way through the film, even after it came out of the sea , after blowing up Caroline Monroe in the helicopter! The cars you are referring to, was in For Your Eyes Only, set in Cortina .

    I liked the story of Mike from drivetribe wanting to drive Jeremys Alfa, and Jeremy said no! Only letting Harry dive it just brilliant. Jeremy doesn't like that Mike chancer. Can't stand that Mike guy, time he was unemployed for being a phoney motoring journalist.

    Clarkson was quite right not to lend his Alfa to “anyone” I.e. Mike Fernie, who thinks he’s a member of Top Gear since he got his job as editor of Drivetribe. Can’t stand listening to him. Whereas Harry is not “anyone” but a long term friend of Clarkson hence he could borrow it. Mike Fernie should stay behind the camera and let those with genuine charisma or years of experience be in front.
