Welcome to The Jonny Smith Late Brake Show episode of Top Gear’s Chris Harris life of cars part 1. Top Gear is the most famous car show, and Chris Harris is the small chap with no shortage of driving talent, who brings the wheelman element to the TV trio.
In something of a Late Brake Show exclusive Jonny takes his awful brown easy chairs down to Bristol to chat about Chris’ life in and around cars, from work experience at Autocar, to the heady Top Gear madness of today. In this two-part Idol Chat, Harris, typically very guarded about his personal cars and private life, shows Jonny some of his charismatic automotive possessions and opens up about what his career journey has been like; What it’s like to drift fast cars, throw eggs at Matt LeBlanc in a 2CV, break into YouTube world, crash a bit, race a bit, receive random phone calls from Chris Evans, get trolled and let a puppy eat his Porsche 911 GT3.
Remember to watch part 2 coming out later today.
Thank you for watching The Late Brake Show. .

A Good chat between these 2. CH is hilarious and enjoy his SOH especially with Flintoff & Paddy on TG. You could see that Chris and Matt had a great connection/ friendship. The chemistry was becoming very good and a few memorable scenes between them. The Bugatti & Ducati race to the hotel scene and 1 that made me laugh was the Bentley GTC in Sierra Nevada Spain, when tussling who was going to be behind the wheel. The Whiskey posts on Insta during Lockdown 1 was quite amusing at times too.
This man is amazing, it's like hear my self speak/think
Legends 🙌
Absolutely loved listening to this today at lunch with a coffee. As a petrol head, its almost therapeutic listening to two individuals like Jonny and Chris! I already had such respect and admiration but this video just makes me appreciate him more! Great video Jonny!
Brilliant interview, thanks
Harris is the best car journalist along with Harry Metcalfe in my opinion
