Racing a Mercedes 220 Fintail Sedan at the Nürburgring with David Coulthard -- /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
Вставка

- 120hp, a lot of kerb weight and only four forward gears. But I had an ex- Formula One driver with me, so surely we wouldn't be the slowest car out there? Let the fun begin.

Post-Race Beers with Chris Harris and David Coulthard should be a regular prime time show
First time I've seen this side of David Coulthard. Had no idea he is so witty and funny, what a cool guy! If ever there could be one, he would make a great replacement for JC on Top Gear!
He's Scottish. What do you expect? Of cause he's funny. Glad Cris parked the suit again. Not fitting for him.
the man with the crazy face made me so happy. im not sure why. the pureness of the competition, the joy you can see in his actions. i know your grin was also massive Mr. Harris; mine sure was.
It's like when you're driving down the motorway in a very slow car racing your mate who's also in an awfully slow car struggling to get past 80 😂
@@jasonlongo6823 I once raced a Mercedes w124 220 16valve estate, against a volvo 945 turbodiesel, with a screwdriver tuned injection pump,and i lost...i dont think we even got up to 160kph before we had to brake ;´)
@@oljefri hahah brilliant
Best show ever? Get David Coulthard, Chris Harris and Guy Martin and tell them to do what they want...
YES!
".....she's not a climber...." I was crying.
She's a gusher...
lol these guys are hilarious together!!! Top tier banter.
Top GEAR banter.
@@RgW00D Damn. BBC should pair the two of them together.

Great seeing DC swearing and acting like a proper racing driver having a laugh with his mates
"Over steer will come right before impact" - Bahaha, made me laugh so hard!
That is almost [racing stuff aside] what my step-grandfather brought back from his '63 trip to Europe, and drove well into the 1990's. He served with the Marines in WW-1, and later, in 1941, he became a Drill Sargent for the US Army, as the Marines didn't accept recruits older than 40. Thus he was involved with both World Wars, yet only served in the first.
His Mercedes was his pride and joy, and I was lucky enough to ride in it a good 20 times in the late 60's-early 70's as a kid. The Vertical Speedo/Tach was always fun to watch, and the seats were incredible. I can't say much of the handling, other than it made my dad's Fords seem, um, sluggish in corners. I would later find a similar ride in my parent's Volvo 240 DL, in the mid 70's..
LOL Coulthard is hilarious!
These two on topgear world kill me
Good point man, they would be great!
I absolutely love the fact that so many professionals respect Chris. So many cheesy and untalented journalists out there, but Chris nails it every time and that consistency gives him serious credibility. Go Chris!
Need more Chris & David in your episodes. The 2 of them are a blast to watch.
Love it. Great video, and a classic quote from Mr. Coulthard. "Oversteer will come just before impact."
My Grand Dad bought one new. He took delivery at the factory. Then spent a Month long touring vacation.
M B then shipped it to the New Jersey docks in the USA in 1965. I was 8 years old at the time. Great trip down Memory Lane!!
Best motoring videos on UA-cam , Chris, thanks very much.
Awesome vid again. Chris you are the best! I also like the fact that you're not on the tellie twice a week like some 'others'. Just continue to drip feed us with quality, unassuming, honest and utterly likeable productions.
Another great vid Chris! Thank you. What a great chap DC is. Look forward to seeing a future vid of you two.
I just love Chris Harris!! His videos are so cool and you really feel the passion running in his veines!!
It was just awesome to meet him in person at Spa last month!!
This and tuned are easily my favourite youtube car shows! Look forward to them each week :D Keep it up!
I've been waiting all week for this.
Chris is at his best @ Historic Racing, and DC is a crack-up!
One of the best CH videos. His videos are so good.
This is the best this channel has ever offered me. And that says a lot. Thanks
Another hall-mark to the greatness that is DRIVE and Chris Harris on Cars. Effin fine episode!
So great!! Thanks for putting this up! Seems like a blast.
Great Video, as always. Thank you, Chris.
Damn, Chris and David make a great team. This was epic, I can't wait for them actually complete the race in something faster. Please do it!
Hahaha David is so hilarious :D really awesome guy :D
Bitburger - Bitte ein Bit' had me laugh really hard :D Great stuff, Chris :D
Indeed! :D
This is how they say it in some regions for sure!!
Truly loved this episode !
Two big thumbs up.
Fantastic Mr Coulthard, Mr Harris... Funnier then top gear and better driving!
luv the banter at the end, never a dull moment ;)
Man who doesn't love David after a video like that? fantastic!!!
WAS WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY
THANKS
Superb. I was never a Coulthard fan but he seems a great guy, more of these please!
Fantastic. Both legends!
Loved the other Merc driver at around 15 giving a thumbs up and wave, the pure enjoyment of the moment. So good.
Fantastic. Harris is like a kid in a sweet shop. I hope we see more of coultard on Drive.
The fintail Mercedes are adorable. Nerdy, stodgy in just the right ways.
DC is an absolute class act .. and always has been. Great to see 2 of my faves together. Wouldn't it be great to see the Monkey and DC on Top Gear ... hmmmm .. My fave 'Chris Harris on cars' vid without doubt.
This is the greatest thing I've ever watched. Coulthard and Harris epic combination
I love the enthusiasm Chris gives on a car. Doesnt matter if its a supercar or a slow 220 like this.
David is such a cool guy!!!
I never even imagined that I would like him that much....
Cool stuff!!!!
Well done once again!
Amazing video and brings back some memories of the ring! More videos of these two together please!!!
Cracking piece, and what a presenting pair! Harris and DC on cars?..... Nice work boys
Chris is the man, and as usual the best videos can be be found here every week. Please get your own show......
Awesome show guys. Thanks for a quality show.
Another brilliant video Chris, I am looking forward to seeing you and DC at the Ring again.
now thats a proper gentlemans race when both drivers can give friendly greetings to each other on a straight
Bloody brilliant - thanks!
Two great guys with class.
Great story Chris. Thank you guys.
awesome video!! maybe even the best so far!
Coulthard is hilarious! hahahaha
I do hope they do some sort of race/test again in the near future, great episode!
Love this video! Thanks, guys.
A whole new found level of respect for DC, such a nice guy.
Glad to see Chris Harris pound around the circut, even if David broke the car. You can do well with a under powered car, just look at what the original Mini accomplished back in the 60's. I hope to see more of this duo soon. Thanks.
Only Chris Harris can make me watch videos with old cars in it and really enjoy it! :D
Chris Harris is awesome as always. What was a real eye opener was David Coulthard being so hilarious! Love the sense of humour on that man!
Great to see. These things are so much fun -not quick but seriously fun.
Chris delivers YET again. Wednesdays have never been the same since
Always loved the ‘60s 220, never thought I’d see one ‘race’ though. Bitburger, ooh yes please.
I love David. He´s on very much the same page as Kimi Raikkönen, just a whole bit more open.
Great guy.
How about Mika Häkkinen
Love Love Love this vid!!
Reminds me of a friend's 190SL that I drove in 1967 from Chapel Hill over to Danville, VA, and back. Bog slow. No sweet spot on the cam. Vague steering and brakes. Not much fun, really.
awsome. great use of commentary and action.
Nicely done Mr Harriss with this episode.
Hehehe! Great car and drivers, plus this could be a great series "Classic Ring Laps" or something. But even if that's a no go, at least I now know I don't want a Lotus Elise. I want a Fintail Merc
Brilliant episode!!!
Truly entertaining ... More like this!
My favorite car, since I've ever saw one on my early days.
Great video, thanks team
That man is a legend! Knew he was down to earth, but come on! Such a nice guy!
Best job in the world ! Top guys Chris an David
Nice video! And DC is a fantastic dude!
Fantastic guys, honestly.
Chris, that was brilliant!
Finally! A 20+ minute Chris Harris video!
Brilliant! I want more!
this may be the funniest thing I have seen in racing ever....omg...I love it
Chris got a little choked up there at the end. Dude is the real deal, I look forward to all of his videos.He reminds me of Harry Metcalfe.
Legendary !!
Great episode Chris!
This was great! Chris at his full potential.
Class, sheer class!
We had an SE with the same engine/gearbox. Good video Chris!
can't wait to see you guys team up again!
David is gonna get Chris in trouble, haha. Those damn party boy race car drivers haha. Great video guys
Looks like awesome fun! DC is fracking hilarious! I was LOL the whole time.
Chris Harris why most you be so awesome..
Yes Chris!!
"oversteer will come just before impact" love it
a very beatifull machine
Chris and David you are so funny together, I think I had more laughs in 22 mins (which is about your lap time) than in a entire episode of Top Gear
8:16 that lovely floaty steering 😆
Oh god that moment when he almost passed the blue car was hilarious! And Coulthard is such a nice chap! :)
Brilliant!
Great episode! I'd love to see the guys team up and hit the 'ring again with some other beast in the same event or similar.
Awesome!!! Greetings from Norway :)
I didn t realize David was such a funny humble guy, seems like a genuine nice guy.
