I love these videos with Harry pulling out his well-used map. When Harry mentioned the Jag became part of the fleet 10 years ago, it really put into perspective how long I've been a fan of this channel. I've enjoyed every adventure.

I like the way the Countach takes a few seconds to wake up. It doesn’t chime in perfectly on twelve, off the key. Got to wait for everything to reach steady state, like an animal awakening.
Every time I think of these roadtrips I always conclude a 911 is always the answer

Almost anywhere in Spain is fun off the beaten track. If I turn left from my place, I'm in Madrid in 45 minutes. If I turn right, I can drive beautiful mountain roads for as long as I like. I prefer to turn right....
Harry knows how to do a road trip. Fantastic roads, scenery and three great cars.
I lost my virginity in Denia in the 80s and cycled all over Mallorca in the 90s. Living off my wits and food I found in fields. That whole route and region is in my veins and formed me. I’m going back next year in my hilux and penman trailer camping set up, to see if I can bring those days back to some degree….
Harry not boasting about low-mileage cars is why I always come back. The most deserving car owner on the planet.
I love the road trip episodes! Great to see the Countach out, and love the detail about the Testarossa. The reality and dedication of running an older Ferrari. I hope to see it out in 2024. No static collection only cars here!
That project 7 sounds astonishing. Beautiful and savage :)

Harry's road trip videos are the greatest "living vicariously" you can have from the comfort of your humble abode. Unlike the usual "I'm a pretend big time TV presenter even though it's only on KZread" approach of nearly all other car focused videos (Chris Harris, Johnny smith, top gear and all the others) Harry is like your best friend who just wants to share what he can get his hands on or where he can take a trip without trying to impress anybody. That humble sincerity coupled with his obvious knowledge and desire to tell interesting stories stands alone in a field of pretentious "KZreadrs". Thank you so much Harry for being our imaginary best friend

'The sound track is pretty good as well' awesome !

I've just watched KZread Marcus Hayes building his Mk2 1300 crossflow engine on a tight budget from his lock up garage.. a humble guy and a real petrol head. This is as much at the other side of the scale as you could imagine but both Harry and Marcus are true petrol heads at heart and equally enjoyable to follow
fitting tribute to the late Mr Gandini
The cars, the view, the hotel rooms. Stuff of dreams! I love it.
You are officially what I would call the ultimate Idol. True petrol head, no garage queens, practical, humble, and an inspiration. Thank you Harry for the life education and may God bless you always and keep you in good health. Keep up the exceptional work. From DB meters, to calculations on road trip efficiencies that consider the all alternatives. A geek with emotion (in the most respectful way). Hailing you from the Philippines and get in touch if ever this part of the world.

A longer than usual road trip, hence a longer than usual video and excellent viewing. It was very interesting regarding the economics of trucking the cars to Spain and the other cost involved. Harry’s videos don’t come any better than this.
Awesome film. The 911 would have been my car of choice for the trip! Being a cyclist I know all those roads really well 👍🏼
Just what we needed in miserable, mizzly Britain in March - a road trip to Spain and Mallorca in three supercars. Thanks, Harry!
i love Sundays with you Harry!!!!!!
So happy I get a trip to Spain today!!! Thanks again Harry, I’ll probably never see it in person
Harry, as a cabrio driver who enjoys road trips, I use many different websites, maps etc but when I have used a website or app which is more directed towards bikers this has occasionally brought me in some hairy situations….narrow, single lane twisty roads. Needless to say my wife protested strongly about my preparation for the trip. What I tend to do now is spend hours testing the route with Google street view and scanning the Internet for as many comments from folks who have done these routes and are kind enough to leave reviews somewhere on the Internet. For me there is nothing better than driving on a mountain pass drive with the roof down on a beautiful day 😊 Harry, please keep these road trip videos rolling, it’s great to see new places and your experiences of Europe…..maybe we will bump into each other one day if your passing through Switzerland 👍🏻
Just driven from St Ives Cornwall in my BMW 340i. I know it’s not the same but the A 30 was clear and an absolute pleasure….once we got past the roadworks😀
The Countach is looking good (I am a master of understatement).

Hi. I have been following this channel for a long time and the road trips are inquestionably my favourite "episodes". I truly enjoy them. Ps - both Project 7 are just amazing.
Very special episode Uncle Harry - thank you. Car transport ideas, man maths, hotel recommendations, app user guides... all alongside supercar views and soundtrack. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks! PS you took me back to one of my favourite review videos; 981 Boxster GTS launch video by Evo - revs bouncing off the walls up in the hills of Mallorca
Did not know about Gandini! In 2024, no matter what futuristic beast of fuel and electricity you see, the Countach still cuts a figure unlike anything else. Molte grazie, Marcello!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am in bed recovering from abdominal surgery, and this video transported me away from my pain for over fifty minutes. Never underestimate the power of a beautifully made KZread video.
What a coincidence! I was in Mallorca in mid- February on some of those same roads and had a whale of a time. Flew to Palma, rented a Boxster T, started early and avoided those crowds. There was no one at the Formentor lighthouse at 9:00 in the morning. Ive uploaded three videos on my channel.
I love that Harry whips out the map every time, keeping it real!
What a privilege for the locals to see the Countach out on the roads! Kudos as usual for using the cars as they were intended. Hope the Ferrari gets well soon😀
Finally someone using the Countach the way was meant to be used. Not like a 3 digit miles museum piece or a stock bond. This is pure enjoyment
Love you cold start on the Lambo. Few stabs of the throttle to clear its throat then a lovely idle. Equally the Jag is awesome in its own way (former F Type R Owner!)
When the paper map gets unfolded and laid on the car…it’s gonna be a good day. Bravo Harry!
I might have only been in a wee hire car but the roads on Mallorca were amazing. Left the hotel at 4am and drove to the lighthouse for sunrise and had the entire place to ourselves, didn't meet another car and that was June, stunning! Drove back down before people started coming up, went up to the watchtower, and were still back to the hotel in Alcudia in time for breakfast! Same with Sa Calobra, did that for sunset late on and again was almost empty.
I honestly didn't want that vid to end. I'm now rejuvenated and set up for the week ahead. Thank you again Harry.
Harry, this was great. Wonderful seeing how raw the countach is to drive.
Wow I saw you all in Majorca near Pollensa parked up , I live in Ibiza and was visiting majorca with my Ducati doing the same roads. Yes with the car you're going to get held up. Even with the Motorbike the roads are very tight. You should have visited Ibiza. We have some great roads here.
Harry, as so many have said, being able vicariously to enjoy the weather, the roads, your excitement and the glorious cars is just such a tonic. So thank you very much.
The Lambo is screaming like a beast.... Very healthy, thanks to Ian workshop. Great achievement!
Im a long way from that part of the world and I really enjoy seeing and having you tell us about your trip through a beautiful part of Europe and I hope I get over there to see it in person before my boat comes in. You drive safe Harry and thanks.
Yes a naked snack from the co-driver always goes down very well in my experience. WELL DONE ! (to the Countach + iain T)
This video deserves an Emmy award for documentary roadshow feature. Just absolutely joyous and brilliant. Thank you, Harry!
The countach really is a thing of beauty
Geeez Harry ... you lucky bugger ! i am sooo GREEN with envy
Next time in Spain allow some time for Madrid, some really good roads around here! Also, as a cyclist, Calpe is an European Mecca of winter training for both pros and amateurs. If you ever venture for Col de Rates you'll see more cyclists than a major city thoroughfare - the zone is immensely popular in January - April...
Glorious! Glad you took the Countach!
What a great adventure, thank you for taking us all along. The noise of the project 7 is so addictive. 😎
Cyclist here you've picked two of the greatest areas for riding in Spain. Denia Xalo Rates all incredible Soller Puig. Absolutely brilliant 👍
Wow, what a great trip in a beautiful part of the world.

Brilliant episode, one of my favourite parts was when Harry is giving tips on packing the Countach, and said if you have a Countach this is how you do it, or words to that effect, as if anyone watching is likely to own one. 😂 I loved watching that trip though, magnificent content, well done Harry.
When a Countach is your reliable alternate... What a wonderful video - took me away from the damp Cotswolds.
That countach looks hard work in the twisties ! I think I’d be putting the power steering back on 😳
Approaching Cap de Formentor at Mallorca in a Countach 😂. It seems that you didn't meet a Coach with visitors. Then it would be going in reverse for a while..😉. Great ride! Lovely to see my beloved island again.
Most of us would be happy to have ONE supercar on an epic trip ... but no, Harry has to have TWO ... and it still works out sublime.
Nothing like a great road trip with some special unique cars. Countach is always a treat to see on the road.
