The best interview I have ever heard. Chris Harris-thank you.
Very rare that 3 and half hours disappears so quickly, great work.
Could of listened to Nicky and Chris for the next month easily. Nickys memory is amazing!!!! What a podcast. Thank you
His memory is astonishing !
Chris has really evolved as an interviewer, and Nicky knows how to tell a story. This is absolutely fascinating.
I would love to hear more little details from the individual rallies. Like how stressed out Colin was at GB 2001. Thats great insights.
Uuuuii

Why the Hell would anybody click "Dislike" this video?! What were they expecting to listen to? Nicky Grist has such recall and ability to communicate his passion for the sport I could listen to his stories all day. Keep it up Chris, would love to hear an interview with Robert Reid and Phil Mills if you could arrange please?!
That's a good shout on Reid and Mills. Would love to hear more interviews with ex-motorsport pros.

has 3.5 hours gone by already??? Could listen to these stories all day, thx Chris, and Nicky!!
Quite frankly, as a lifelong rally fan of all of the characters and cars described, the best and most interesting interview I have had the fortune of listening to. Thankyou Mr Harris and Mr Grist for a beautifully frank, natural and revealing conversation.
The best damn episode & motorsport podcast to date! Hear hear from Finland!
Regardless of how much you know about cars it's genuinely inspiring listening to these podcasts. The enthusiasm and passion is just bursting out. Please keep it up when you can guys. Fantastic content.
The finest automotive journalist on the planet, and one of my childhood heroes for three and a half hours.
Between this and the most recent Top Gear series, Harris hasn't half been spoiling us in 2020.
By far and away the best Podcast Chris has done. Nicky is so engaging and has a way of story telling that makes 3.5 hours fly by. Thank you so much for making this!
over 3 hours of Chris Harris & Nicky Grist! Thanks for keeping me entertained at home Chris, best podcast ever!
Perfect quarantine listening.
Fun to hear stories about Pentti Airikkala. Such a rare topic.
The best podcast I have ever listened to. Amazing life story....
Motorsport interview of the century!!
RIP Beef, Burns and Colin
Dave Metcalfe also.
What an amazing life Nicky has led ! I did not realise how serious the Corsica crash was.
Im 52 years old and I’ve wanted to be a rally driver from I’ve known myself. I followed rallying all my life until about 2 or 3 years ago when some difficulties in my personal life took my focus. This has got to be the best podcast/interview on the subject I’ve ever listened to and. Thank you Chris and Nicky. Phenomenal 🙏🏽
Bloody 'ell, what a class episode - just going to socially distance myself due to Coronollecting Cars symptoms. Nicky and Colin planted the Subaru seed for me and a Classic Turbo, P1, 22B and STi followed when I could afford it. Utter hero, thanks Nicky, Chris and Edward, for a guy in his late 40s, 'maximum attack' was the default and I hope I can speak for those of a similar mind.
Proper selection there. You keep your 22B?
@@blackcygnus3177 Sadly not, given today's values I should have but other priorities came along. I preferred the straight-piped P1 to drive of all of them. Live in Australia now and the car market here is utter crud. Did test-drive an Integrale Evo II prior to the 22B and it was the best handling car I've ever driven... but I didn't have the balls to take the plunge.
@Howard Hamlin I think you were either in the EVO camp or the Scooby. Never drove an EVO but would be interested if I could feel a difference after so many years.
Gem, will listen to this 50 years later and still be amazed
The story which starts around 2:33:30 is mental, and that's just one of them. What an insane podcast, has to be one of the best interviews Chris has ever done.
Best podcast I've ever listened to. Nicky is a wonderful storyteller and Chris a great interviewer who just let him get on with it.
Brilliant podcasts Chris. Love the guest choices. Keep it up chap 👌
the sound of my childhood, The amazingly wonderful voice of Nicky Grist, ive just been transported back to saturday afternoon Grand stand and I cant thank you both enough, i absolutely loved this interview it had everything ❤❤❤😂👍👍👍 look after yourselves chaps.
Sod F1... Rallying is the true pinnacle of Motorsport.

Absolute legend Nicky!

Just brilliant to relive all those memories and hear the behind the curtin stories. Thank you very much to Nicky and Chris for committing this stuff to ‘tape’.
Best wishes and continued success to both of you.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant , enjoyed that podcast. Well done Chris and Nicky.
Easily one of the best pod-casts I have ever listened to (and I listen to a hell of a lot ) Excellent .
What a fantastic insight to Nicky Grist’s career. Thank you for time to produce this.👍👍
Could have listened to this all week, brilliant. Thankyou! Please some more longer pod cast we need more!
Now, that is three and a half hours I can get behind!
Outstanding!! What an amazing & humble man and what an orator, time just fly (like the cars he guided round). And his memory is as sharp as a knife, fantastic Chris and team.
An unbelievably insightful three and a half hours
What a legend! So cool to listen to, especially as I was rewatching the wrc highlights from the 1998 on on yt recently!
I spent a lovely afternoon listening this and watch actual footage on a separate screen ! Thank you !
I just want to echo the comments by many and the thoughts of, I'm sure, many more. This was a truly substantial podcast. I am incredibly thankful to you, Chris, for doing this - and even more so to Nicky for all the insights and stories he shared. The 3 hours flew by, and made me wish there were 3 more. Honestly remarkable. I wanted to hear everything. I am, I suppose, one of the fortunate people deemed to be "essential" (although I really only act as one minuscule piece of grit that cements the bricks together) and as a result am still working and being paid, but I looked forward to every moment I could get to listen to this podcast. I know not every guest can be this marvelous and conversational. I know you probably can't be bothered to do such long content every week. But I want you both to know, both you, Nicky and Edward, that this was truly special and appreciated. As is every one of your uploads.
This is epic! And yes Chris Harris that really is the best podcast so far. Definitely one to download and listen to on some future public transport journey when the world gets back to normal.
Great stuff, Steiner was also with Jolly Club/Lancia before joining Ford! Chris we would love to welcome you down to the Rally replay showroom once things calm down. We have multiple ex works Lancia's currently with us!
Thank you Chris. Thank you Nicky. Another excellent podcast as usual. This one. was exceptional. You feel like you are in the room with you guys.
Agreed the best podcast by far. Could listen to another 3 hours easily
What a story. .... Best podcast I've ever listened to. ..
Working from home whilst listening to this - even work is tolerable - great stuff.
This is superb! Thanks for cheering up my day Chris!
Absolutely fantastic podcast. Loved every second of it.
Absolutely absorbing podcast, so many great stories from Nicky. Could easily have listened to these two talk all day.
Absolutely fantastic to listen to this in these hard times! Colin was a legend, but Nicky is also legend in his own right!!
Got completely lost and engrossed with those great stories from Nicky. Brilliant stuff Chris! Thanks
Brilliant podcast. Thank You!
Brilliant podcast, such amazing detail and recall from Nicky. He needs to write a book already, I need more.
Nicky was a wonderful guest never realised he was such a intelligent well articulated man, Absolutely fab this series Chris.
Thanks so much for uploading this! Excellent 21st birthday present :D
Wow wow wow, two absolute legends of the motoring world. Chris done amazingly well to steer the podcast in the right direction but I've got a feeling that this podcast could've easily been twice as long. Well done guys! I'm away to relive some of Colin and Nicky's best drives. 👍
GREAT PODCAST! Best one I've heard!! RIP Colin McRae and big Shout out to THE WELSH WIZARD!!! 😆 #ifindoubtgoflatout
The podcast in the series I was least looking forward to listening to, but the one I enjoyed most; insightful and thoroughly enjouyable
This is so incredibly good. Listened multiple times.
Man, does time fly by
Great chat guys
thats my first time listening to a podcast.. i was glued to it! what a great interview, and what an amazing bunch of stories told by an amazing man!
Rest in Peace to the Legendary Subaru Drivers; Possum Bourne, Collin McRae, Richard Burns, and Rodger Freeth. Your legend lives on!
Epic - there are no other words to describe this wonderful podcast. A must listen for every petrol head.
Amazing. Thanks Chris and Ed.
Just looked up David Metcalfe on the Manx in the Nova, what a driver, he made that car dance!
Chris is wasted on Top Gear, I'm sure it more than pays the bills - but he has too much talent as a driver and a motoring journalist to be on that show.
Yep, agree, a lucrative gig and yet I think Goodwood and various other racing challenges might just be enough for him. It's safe to say that his lack of a dedicated UA-cam journalistic presence is proving a very positive force amongst his fans in showing how much respect he's held in... and that if he were to start something it'd go off... like bonfire night.
Grant Challinor I think he does it really well but I was sceptical at first I must admit, I initially likened it to someone like Morgan Freeman or Anthony Hopkins doing celebrity big-brother 😂
Chris`s U tube channel is superb
I could watch Chris drift BMW M-cars and supercars for days, but I never expected him to become such a brilliant interviewer. Between that and Nicki's fascinating storytelling, this is one of the best podcasts I've heard in ages.
Eeewe
Loved, loved, loved this, absolutely tremendous, 3.5 hours of pure joy to the ears.
Such an amazing listen. Could and will happily listen to it all over again. Great job!
That was the longest podcast i have ever listened to. I was never a huge fan of rallying but that 3 1/2 hours was one of the best listens ever.
Beautiful stories and memories, and always a pleasure to listen to Nicky
that was superb, well done CC.
What an absolute pleasure of a podcast. I've been following Chris on UA-cam for god knows how long, and this interview is one of the highlights. Thank you
Had to do it in a few sittings, but what a wonderful experience it was (and yes I might've said that in a really shite welsh accent) Cheers to Chris and Nicky. These kind of interviews need someone that can ask great questions but also know when to just let people talk.
Absolutely first class. Fascinating and kudos to Chris for asking such great questions.
amazing interview, thank you Chris and Nicky
Legend has it they did the whole interview in that hug pose.
Could of listened to Nicky and Chris for the next month easily. Nickys memory is amazing!!!! What a podcast. Thank you
Absolutely amazing and much appreciated, particularly in these 'dark' days of confinement...
This is a truly wonderful conversation between a car expert and a true world champion legend. Brilliant.
Easily the best car based podcast around. 👏
I'd LOVE it if you could get Plato on here at some point! I'd love hearing BTCC stories with him.
Still feels like this podcast is a hidden internet gem, am sure it will blow up soon. Loved it as always
Thanks Chris !
Initially, I thought oh my god, how can I find the 3 1/2hrs neede to listen to this....and do I want to (just being honest🤷♂️) but oh my, this one must be the best yet!! I’m now feeling short changed because I know there’s probably another 3 1/2hrs worth of stories (at least)! Loved every last second of what we’ve had. Thank you Monkey and Nicky ❤️❤️
Brilliant! Thanks Chris for bringing these stories and Nicky have a great life!
Wow, what an awesome insight into the world of Nicky Grist. Many thanks Chris for a wonderful pod cast.
I watched Colin and Nicky testing a Subaru in New Zealand many moons ago, it was great to see them in action.
This is great stuff! If you can get any more rallyists in the future, I'm all ears. Oh, and Jaffa cakes aren't bloody biscuits!
Absolutely fantastic - thank you - looking forward to part 2 ....... :)
Anyone else gutted when this ended? We need a part 2!
I am imagining a modern motoring show with guests like this and some excellent driving in the greatest locales. Call and lets get this going Monkey. Your talent is being bottled up with the current format TG. Wish you the best your a legend
So good. Thanks Chris. Thanks Nicky
What a fantastic episode. Absolutely loved it.
Superb. What a brilliant guy to listen to. I love that Chris more or less just lets him chat away.
Oh my goodness! What a podcast! Chris you are a fantastic interviewer, and Nicky is an absolute gentleman! I loved this!
I would love to see video of podcast....in any case they are excellent listening.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a wonderful insight to that time of WRC.
Amazing. Woke up at 3am in post covid, can’t believe it’s been a mesmerising 3 and half hours. Very interesting first saw Colin in RAC in a battered 2wd Sierra. Then saw him every time in New Zealand, never understood his times in Motu stage NZ. I thought Subaru might have done something illegal, he was just so quick. (A min quicker than Kankunen). Having driven the stage only 2 years ago, I now understand with Nickys comments, it just suited Colins aggressive driving style. Loved the interview, and now have great respect for Nicky. Cheers
Nicky Grist what an absolute legend, gained even more credibility due to being a normal down to earth human being with colourful language, ace.
1 hour 45 in and only half way through - thanks Chris and Nicky!
I listen to the podcasts on spotify, but with no option to comment, I had to come onto here and say how fabulous this interview was. Chris was absolutely engaged and interrupted a lot less in this Podcast than usual and it flowed so wonderfully as a result (Nicky's amazing ability to tell a story obviously had a lot to do with it :-). More like this! looking forward to the Colin Goodwin one next.
