Road trips and car tests, doesn't need to be anything mad going on, just beautiful cars in beautiful scenery exploring the UK, Europe, and maybe further afield. With his mates. Jethro Bovingdon did something similar bit it didn't quite take off I don't think but then he loves to call everything creamy :P Would love to see CH and the lads from the podcast go do a trip around Scotland with 60% of the show driving and scenery and 40% of the show them in the pub afterwards chatting bubbles about cars.

Been following Chris for years now. I really enjoy listening to him talk about cars.

Chris was the glue that just about held Top Gear together when Clarkson and co left. Amazing journalist, brilliant reviewer and always seems humble. I believe he's James May's favourite car journalist which just about sums it up.

I got to work with him a little back in the day. He's exactly as he comes across here - fast-talking, fast-thinking, rather earnest, very likeable, extremely knowledgeable. No ego on him, not in any problematic way anyway, lots of energy. I was interested that he describes himself as grumpy. I don't think that's quite right, rather that he's actually rather earnest/serious by natural disposition, but it doesn't take much to get him laughing. It's just that he's not going to smile when there's nothing to smile about. I get that.

One of the finest automotive journalists and broadcasters, Chris Harris on cars is epic.

We had a chance meeting with Chris Harris at Goodwood FOS this year. He was so nice, genuine, and exactly like he was on TV. I’m a big fan, more so of his work on the Internet than Top Gear. You just know he knows a decent amount about cars and can imagine him getting stuck in to jobs in cars…if he had the time. Legend!

My favourite "car guy" to listen to, absolutely love his total addiction to every little detail of cars. Anyone that hasn't listened to his podcast, "Collecting addicts", go find it, you are in for a treat.

Top bloke and an outstanding automotive journalist.

The only real car enthusiast on the show

Sad that Top Gear has ended. I’ve always followed Chris Harris since reading his columns in EVO magazine. The banter on Top Gear was amazing. It was genuine and huge fun.

Chris describing cars as a condition is darn true for a lot of us. We all knew that about him and it's a big part of the reason many of us were drawn back to TG after the Big 3 left. God I hope he gets picked up and gets to do what he loves for all of us again.

Also it's so refreshing to leaf through the comments and it's overwhelmingly filled with praise and respect for him. Shows the measure of the man.

Chris needs his own show. Never did like bellends Paddy and Flintoff.

I am a huge fan of Mr. Harris and due to his knowledge and Collecting Cars podcast I recently binged all the Top Gear series with him, Freddy and Paddy, it was in my opinion better than the later stuff with Clarkson, Hammond and May. It was nice for TG to go back to having some nerdy car reviews in there for us true enthusiasts.

I spent months and years studying the back pages of car mags and obsessively reading specs and model variants. I love seeing my type on screen 😊

Chris is great - I’ve been a fan of his work since he was at autocar, having also read his stuff at what car. I always thought he was at autocar for much longer than he was but thinking back, remember missing him. Loved him, paddy and Andrew on top gear - they made it their own with their own chemistry rather than making a copy of the go’s. Gutted flint off had his accident but think stopping filming without him being able for whatever reason and allowing him to heal is so the right thing to do.

I love Chris Harris, he’s a great bloke and an amazing driver. His passion and knowledge of cars is also amazing. I do hope we see him back in a car show again in the future.

It all depends on what genre of motoring show the public wants. The Clarkson, May, Hammond & Wilman era Top Gear became more of an entertainment show, a ratings chaser that people who had no interest in cars could enjoy alongside those of us who are interested in all things automotive, and wildly successful it was too. On the other hand, a magazine style format (as per the original Top Gear from the 70s) wouldn’t be commissioned by the BBC today as it would be deemed too narrow band in appeal, not forgetting the sheer number of channel options, streaming services and non-linear viewing habits of the available audience today. For what it’s worth, Chris Harris is a motoring journalism titan and it is a shame that the public in general only really knows him for the knockabout banter of TG. If the BBC is brave enough…it isn’t…it should commission a proper consumer-focused, journalism-based magazine with Chris fronting and Harry Metcalfe, Rory Reid, Henry Catchpole, Jethro Bovingdon as contributors. Yes, we can still have tyre smoking supercars hooning around test tracks, but let’s have some editorial about the wider industry and real world motoring issues as well. I dunno, canning the odd property, culinary or lifestyle show might create schedule space….🤔 It won’t happen, more’s the pity.

Always great to hear what Chris Harris has to say. He doesn't try to be entertaining but as a result he's good to see on TV.

When I was in middle school, our library had car magazines. Car and Driver and Road & Track. With lawn mowing money I subscribed to every car mag I could find. Until a recent move, I had 20 years of Automobile, C and D, Motor Trend and R & T. Plus many years of others. I actually found the 1993 RX7 I bought in the late 90's in Auto Week classifieds. With constant auto news today, I miss the excitement of that time of the month when those magazines arrived. Reading them cover to cover right away. I also miss those journalists. Patrick Bedard, Brock Yates, and such. Wonderful memories of a great childhood and extended adolescence.

Chris Harris on Cars - you can’t beat it and we need a return.

It's a shame Chris Harris hasn't got his own car show..

7:49 this is why Chris was one of the very few people who could carry Top Gear to the extent he did. A vast majority of TV presenters on car shows are great presenters, but not great car nerds (or vice versa, even). That's one reason most people forget as to why Clarkson, Hammond and May took Top Gear to the level they did; they were as big of car enthusiasts as they were great hosts. However, Chris is a car nerd first and TV host second. And BBC's mistake was making him do the shouty and fake-excitement stuff, which I could see he was visibly not very comfortable or happy doing, instead of giving him the camera and letting him be authentic with the cars like he used to be in his old "Chris Harris on Cars" videos. No one can replace the original trio, but had BBC done that and turned Top Gear back into the proper motoring show it was, and Chris was the right man for that job, the "new" Top Gear would've been a lot more enjoyable than it ended up being. Anyhow, with TG seemingly over (for now at least), I hope there's other places where he continues his things.

Hope you keep doing reviews those you have on on Porsche have been very helpful job well done

Chris Harris IS legend ..again THE BBC wasted his talents and stuck him with those other 2 gits .. i hope he finds something akin to his real talents soon !!!

He was the one serious one on TG after the other three left. I felt Freddie and Paddy were too immature and didn't have the depth of intelligent commentary that Clarkson, May and Hammond had, whereas he was the one I was interested in listening to. I felt at times Chris's frustration showed.

I loved Chris Harris in Top Gear right from the start but I found the other two clowns an insult to the genre.

One of the best, when it comes to cars. Always loved it when he tested a porche 😀

Chris Harris is the best kind of person. He’s competitive but humble, he’s intelligent but acts dumb, he has a tone of not caring about anything or anyone but he actually cares about so many things and people, he’s accomplished so much but doesn’t forget when he was accomplishing so little, he acts so serious but he’s actually low-key funny… As much as I agree with others in the comments that he needs his own show, I think what he’s doing with his business will be enough, especially considering the content he makes for it, because “TV shows” are just dying. KZread will always give us a better version of whatever he is to do.
