Aye the interiors on the new Astons are horrible, a real step backwards imo.

No-one could ever call any Countach dull, but - possibly driven by my age - looking at an early Countach beside Harry's ultimate mik-spec round bellied wingless QV is like

All stick on screens will age very badly I think.

Looks absolutely stunning in that colour.

I love the steering wheel; the interior looks very snug!

Mik is totally incorrect, purer lines make it look better than the later ones 😁 Footage from camera car looked 😎

Great video as ever from Harry. He's pedalling it well in that video too! Engine bay, interior all look awesome... and an 8k red line :shock:

I thought that, usually in his videos he's not really going for it, jumps in someone elses £1.5m classic and it's a dab of oppo at every other corner.:lol:

Admittedly he says in the greasy conditions it doesn't take much effort to get it moving around.

Gorgeous.

How fat did that Boxster look in comparison when one was in shot.

If I were to pick nits at all with Harry's Garage it'd be with his awkward signoff, everything else he says shines with genuine enthusiasm except the "keep watching keep subscribing more videos coming" really? Really Harry? You don't truly give a flying fart I recon, you do it coz it's great fun and enthusiasts love it and they really don't need to be asked to keep watching.

I know!! This totally blew my mind when I saw them side by side. Simply could not believe they were that small.

It’s nice to see a more objective review of the Giulia. When he does the comparison with the Project 8, I imagine objectivity will disappear a bit... 😄

I LOL'd slightly that he bought a project 8 but had a pop at the Giulia's styling :lol:

Well he was consistent. He like's the Project 8 but thinks the Alfa is too conservative.

As a fast berlina, isn't it supposed to be a bit "normal" in everyday use? I've driven one around Spa-Francorchamps and believe me, it is proper quick. Like really, really quick. Not only because of the superb engine, but the balance and overall feeling of responsiveness are quite surprising for a four door saloon. On the way home I was fast asleep in the passenger seat.

Yep, seems pretty perfect to me.

I'd take one over his jaag any day.

Although it would also be cool if they did a proper bonkers version with loads of mental options like they do with fiat 500s.
Cheers, Harry

Yes you're absolutely right. Its an M3 competitor that is supposed to do everyday stuff as well as hooliganry. There is also the small matter than the project 8 is TWICE the price of a Quadrifoglio. I'm suprised Jag didn't have to pay Harry to buy one... oh wait :lol:

For anyone dribbling over that Periscopica (like I was) - this month's Octane has a full write up by Harry and goes above and beyond what's in that film.

That Alfa is lovely 8-)

The noise from outside though is awful, sounds like a drainpipe on a hot hatch. Plus the start button on the wheel looks terrible.

One of the few modern cars I quite fancy.
