Chris Harris Says Goodbye to His Youtube Channel, Brings Old Crew to Top Gear

In my eyes, the BBC doesn't know what kind of employee they've got. After all, you don't label the best British car reviewer on Youtube as "our drift guy."

But, as long as they are taking small, methodical steps in the right direction, I can't complain. Speaking of steps being taken, there's a Youtube channel called "Chris Harris on Cars" which he started after leaving /DRIVE. Now he's closing that as well, as this video announcement suggests.

Top Gear is the "new home" of the Harris Monkey, and it seems the old crew is making the move with him. Good for them! Neil, the cameraman, is the obvious one, but the sound and music edition guy is also part of the crew.

How do we know? Well, only a day after we said our goodbyes, there was an update to the Top Gear home page. More specifically, an 8-minute review of the F12tdf where Harris drifts the 780 horsepower monster. It doesn't feel or sound like anything done by TG before, which is a good thing in my book.

We can't embed the video, buy you can watch it right now. That's something fans of the show have been wanting for years. Due to the BBC not understanding how the internet works, we usually had to put up with bad streaming, pirated copies or watching the shows from several years before.

If we are going, to be honest here, this isn't the best Harris video ever made. Part of it has to do with troubled past relationship with Ferrari, but also the enormous pressure pot on his shoulders.

That being said, the F12tdf is revealed as a seriously scary speed machine and a real privilege to drive. With all-wheel steering, you tend to look at it as a regular supercar. But they are only going to make 799 of these... ever.
