Appreciate the shout out, glad we could help.

This is exactly the kind of openness and personal conversation that made so many of us subscribe to Harry in the first place. Congratulations on your new McLaren!

The fatal comment, “We’ll just go and have a look!” 😊

[MattBradshaw]

It’s a testament to Harry and the way he comes across that he can say something like, “I walk into the garage and I don’t know which car to choose” and not sound the slightest bit pretentious.

[hillclimber]

Master class of presentation. No tat, no screams and whoooop whoops, just a compelling watch. Pure 'Harry' Great stuff, and look forward to more on the experiences with the car.

[TelepartyPlays]

Really respect Harry’s openness on his full thought process, the cars he considered and the cost involved. As a viewer it’s nice to have a window into this.

I'm happy for Harry and his new ride! Now back to reality and my 2013 Volvo S60 T5 with 145, 000 miles.

17:35 It looks very Purple in this Video Harry 👍

I am gutted that Harry is selling his Emira but kudos on the replacement. As a diehard Lotus fan and Emira owner I am acutely sensitive to how the vibe on the Emira is trending - and it seems that we are out of the honeymoon period when everyone was just so stoked to get their hands on one. Warranty issues and "I'm selling my Emira" style videos and posts now appearing. What is interesting are the cars replacing Emiras in the garage and the cars that Emiras get cross shopped with. Porsche, McLaren, C8 Corvettes - these are all outstanding cars that are much more expensive (in Australia) than the Emira. I'm happy to own a car with super car looks but 1/2 to 1/3 the price.

The nice thing about Harry is he takes you along with him . He's spending 50-60 K on a car and you're glad he managed the deal. 😮😊

When Britains most respected motoring journalist wants out, that is a serious kick in the teeth for Lotus. Wishing you all the best with your McLaren.

When you took that 750S down through France your enthusiasm for it was infectious…nice to see a new addition to the garage.

Forget the car, thanks Harry I have discovered the bank of England inflation calculator😂
. You learn something new everyday

[patrickm]

That is an absolute stunner Harry, congratulations! Thank you for all the effort you go to in order to share your automotive journeys with us. Your style of presenting is top notch and I am always so excited when you upload something new. Enjoy the new addition to the garage!

HG youtube is so pleasant to watch. It is like meeting someone really friendly at the bar and telling you their stories or adventures.

[MiataBRG]

I'm a bit bored of my new Astra. Might put another £50k in to PX for something else...

[BobTheBlue]

Looks like Mrs Harry has told him “no more new cars unless you sell one first!”😂😂😂

[sheilamorrison]

I love the way a "sports exhaust" is an option on a hypercar.

[frankyork]

So nice to see that Harry is a mere mortal too. We have all been sucked in by the hype of a new car hitting the market and purchased something we ultimately didn't really want. The power of advertising and the associated hype. Good luck with thr McLaren. She looks a beauty.

Great choice looks brilliant! I loved my 650s spider owned it around 18 months and would definitely recommend them!
