Chris Harris to get his own TV show

TheIceStormOf06 · 05-21-2014, 09:46 AM

Sorry if posted here before or off topic...Along with a few others, It looks like Chris Harris is getting his own TV show. Maybe this explains the wait time for the M3/M4 video? Also may explain the white suit!!!

Brilliant news for him. I am a little bummed out as i cant watch it here in the UK

F1Venom · 05-21-2014, 10:09 AM

Yeah. YouTube doesn't pay that well. I don't watch tv that much though so I'll probably have to find this show online.

Cuz5150 · 05-21-2014, 11:09 AM

So Top Gear and Fifth Gear gonna have competition now?

yllwwgn · 05-21-2014, 11:48 AM

That's awesome, Chris Harris I think does an AWESOME job, and is a genuine car nut.

FC4 · 05-21-2014, 12:21 PM

He deserves it.

dubsesd · 05-21-2014, 12:34 PM

Looking forward to it

TSM330i · 05-21-2014, 04:56 PM

Fantastic! I can't wait to see it. All three guys are great and should be a pretty good show.

Sylon · 05-21-2014, 07:00 PM

Can't wait, big fan of Chris Harris and the /Drive network. Just set my DVR to record it after seeing this thread.

Crimson92 · 05-21-2014, 07:29 PM

I can't stand Matt Farah

Steenos · 05-21-2014, 08:31 PM

I'm not a huge Matt Farah fan either. But Chris Harris is awesome. I watch his videos often. How do I let him thrash my Z4M coupe around???

I set my DVR as well. Thanks.

gtman · 05-21-2014, 09:39 PM

Can't wait!

DieGrüneHölle · 05-21-2014, 10:56 PM

Spinelli needs a haircut, dude looks like a mess.

Really? I mean, he is different, but I by no means don't like him. I think he talks with fluidity which is good, but rather blunt in some scenarios.

THIS. I feel like he's about to do a '80s rock band review instead of a car review.

lockeed · 05-24-2014, 10:14 PM

I couldn't, but it seams to be getting great reviews. It's great to have an alternative to Top Gear!

Anyone has a torrent link or something, please share so we can watch!!

Sylon · 05-25-2014, 06:50 AM

Finally got around to watching yesterday's episode. If you convince yourself that it's NOT Top Gear, which they say it's not, it's actually pretty good. I think it's a good start, and they couldn't have picked a better event to use as a backdrop than the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Monaco, which they talked a bit about, which I thought was cool.

Now, I wait patiently for the race to start. I love watching the GP of Monaco.

The Automotive Enthusiast · 05-25-2014, 11:31 AM

Missed it.

Anyone know where to watch it?

NBCSN will replay it. Although, you certainly didn't miss anything

I watched it and wasn't impressed at all. It's like they took Drive and completely neutered it.

It was clearly dumbed down to appeal to a wider audience. It was like, "This is a car, it has 4 wheels, 4 tires, and a steering wheel."

Painful.

Matt Farah made his standard self-deprecating fat joke, Chris Harris cackled, and that other guy was there just to have a third manufacturer represented.
