Chris Harris 458 spider



Amazing stuff from Chris Harris who has had a very public love/hate relationship with Ferrari. This is the kind of programming Top Gear has been lacking since the days of Tiff Needell. Highly skilled driving with beautiful camera work. Well done /DRIVE and Chris Harris. One of the best videos of the entire series.
