- This is episode 2 of the Idol Chat with Harry Metcalfe from Harry's Garage. Following on from the biographical 'brown chairs' Harry Metcalfe takes Jonny Smith on a tour of Harry's Garage. Despite never working with him, Harry and Jonny have known one another within the car mag and TV industry for a while now. He's always been just as approachable and enthusiastic as you see him in his Harry's Garage videos, and offered to be a victim of the chairs over a year ago now.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
Thank you to Harry for letting us bring the chairs along to the barn. His (car and farm) channels can be found here:

Harry has reached final boss level of car enthusiast.
British Jay Leno with more Ferrari...
@@benday1218 his collection is about 1% the size of Leno's though...
@@richardharrold9736 But Harrys Garage is cars Harry will actually drive, Jay's garage is a museum of Bugattis and oddballs.
@@rudolphbondefangerer5513 Jay has loads of interesting cars and they all get used. I particularly appreciate his love of Citroens and Panhards.
@@richardharrold9736 He also run a museum. Its not a personal cars I use thing. I seriously do not believe Jay would ever take a Stanley Steamer to do his weekly shopping. Also, he would not take that steamer to a holliday trip. Harry only keep cars he will use. He travels in his testarossa, he do hollidays in Italy in his Countach, a car only stays in Harrys Garage if Harry have a use for them. Note that there is no Lancia Delata HF Integrale in there, and he must love those. Why? I would guess, not usable cars. Drive one and you know why. Jay is building a museum, Harry collect cars he love.
Jonny slides up to Harry after the cameras go off “so Harry, have you thought about Harry’s Farm rave. We can get some sweet water in. I have a mate can lay down some beats. I even have Stellantis car group interested in sponsoring it”😂🤣. Great video Jonny, Harry is amazing. Now how do I raise £70k to buy and restomod an XJC, because that car is very naughty (See Harry’s vid released today)
Jonny has such a respectful but engaging interview style. Total legends x2, just shooting the breeze. Not pretentious rubbish. Huge thumbs up
This ☝. Squared.
Cheers guys, means a lot!
Harry's one of my fave car guys on CZcams. Down to earth and humble, no bs. Just a real enthusiast.
But have you ever seen him feature or drive a Ford? Bit of a badge snob is our Harry...
Harry is an exemplary man. Successful yet humble and absolutely head over heels in love with his passion of cars. And so generous in sharing his passion with us without any sense of showing off, just sharing
At last the Panda 4x4 surfaces! Good to hear such a positive review of these brilliant little cars, dispelling every urban myth.
Just a shame they never made a 4x4 100HP. There is a FWD 100 but the 4x4 is dangerously slow. They really should have given it more power.
I like the casual way that Harry says he has spent £60,000 or £70,000 on the classic Jag so can only imagine how much his total collection has cost him over the years
Cost?
I think you mean made.
@@anonimushbosh cars cost money all the time, and only make money when you sell them.. so they will have cost a chunk of change, regardless of actual fair market value.
@@Wirenfeldt1990 If you're going to be pedantic about it in accounting sales and, if applicable, rising asset values go on one side and costs go on the other so if the collection goes up significantly in value the net costs will very likely be negative.
@@anonimushbosh you clearly don't own sportscars. I've been lucky, buying some when the market was still low, and selling these last years at crazy prices. I took all my books and between the storage, the insurance and the maintenance, I'm still at a loss. Harry probably spent an amount you could never wrap your head around, keeping so many cars for so many years.
@@anonimushbosh yeah but (in a vacuum, at least) unless you take out a loan against the car or sell it again you still have expenses on the car, like insurance, storage, restoration/wear and tear, fuel etc. and no income..
My old man had a Z1300 when I was a little kid in a small town in south eastern Australia... It was blue with gold accents and THE coolest bike in town hands down.
He was the boss at the big tannery, one of the biggest employers in town and I'll never forget him picking me up from school on the big Kwakka... I thought my dad was literally a superhero and so did all my friends. It was fun having a cool dad and he was the coolest dad and an even cooler grandpa.
RIP Dad, we all miss you and bike rides aren't the same without you.
Jonny you have made a slightly dreary Sunday afternoon very enjoyable with these two videos. Some of the best car content I've seen in a long time!
I think it deserves a special mention, I love the way you drag those huge seats around. Great video as always (I'm a big fan of Harry's garage) :) The master audio level is rather low. It needs to be redubbed with 9db added I reckon.
Agree about sound
That explains it, I had to turn the sound bar up to 22 (it’s normally around 18)
A bit disappointed you skipped over the 182 trophy, perhaps not as interesting to you as the other cars, but it was something I think Harry fell in love with on an Evo test, I bet there would be some great stories untold there. Not to mention it's unquestionably the best 00s N/A hot hatch. I do realise your time with Harry was limited though, just hurts when it's a personal favourite of mine!
Saxo VTS/106 GTI shits all over that wonky AF interior/handling
Wonderful chap! Slightly distracted by the clown shoes 🙊
2 of my favourite people on CZcams. Excellent show fellas 👍
We need more of this……. two of the very nicest humans to grace this wobbly planet 🙂 you are both, in part, responsible for me having a 65” TV in my lounge I never switch on…… iPad and headphones for me…..
Motor trade from 1980 to the present, with a couple of years farming early on……. still living in and around farming in the South East………… Harry, a man after my own heart…. 🙂
You both share a similar uncompromising love for vehicles, regardless of their monetary value…… the quirkier the better in my book……. my cars are a mishmash, Trabant, Skoda, Alfa, Volvo, G Wagon and Citroen…… trucks, IVECO, Mercedes (Unimog) and bikes, referred to as the donkey sanctuary……. my current favourite is a battered early Varadero XL1000V……. with Black Widow cans…… all the attitude of a Paris Dakar bike, but weighing the same as a Range Rover, on road tyres…… 😳
Bless you both for brightening Fathers Day even further 🥳🇬🇧
Ooh. Just noticed the front end of a Lotus 340r sat amongst the Dakar bikes.
Great garage and plenty of fun things in there. Liked the B&O stereo too.
So glad you dwelt on the Honda CBX. The sound of one of those at full chat is just special... as in it makes the hairs on the back of your neck rise.
Harry is just a legend. I can't afford a nice car and I'm not sure I'm even that big a gear head, yet Harry's Garage (and farm) vids pop up and I'm more excited to watch them than pretty much anything else. Thanks for this vid Late Brake Show, truly awesome!
The two best motoring youtubers omn the same show, nice present for our fathers day thanks.
I have loved this 2 parter with Harry
Totally onboard with his "electrification of SUVs is bonkers" train of thought
Best brown chair episode(s) to date
Also love Harrys philosophy that it doesn't matter what the car is - if the way it is designed is right then the car is right - akin to Gordon Murray thinking
Big up the Panda 4x4.
Harry is amazing watch his vids all the time,right down to earth and honest, equally love your channel Jonny to see you guys together made my weekend 🏴👍🏻
Great video! Never really watched this channel but I am a Harry fan! 10/10.
Great collection, all cars are used regularly. No trailer queens and no multi million pound babies! All interesting and beautiful cars! It’s what a collection should be!
Thanks Jonny 👍🏼
Welcome aboard TLBS
@@TheLateBrakeShow I have watched Jonny it’s just I watch so many car channels I run out of time!!
You do fit the bill tho. I have a 1988 944 Lux .. out of storage soon 🤣
The Honda CBX might be the coolest part of the shed. I remember years ago before I ever got into bikes much (my old man has ridden his whole life) I saw a CBX and thought "Bloody hell, look at the size of the radiator." not realizing it was a fairly rare six cylinder superbike of its day. And I mean they just sound unbelievable. Absolutely awesome.
It was never going to disappoint. That it exceeded expectation was just the cherry on the top. Two excellent blokes providing us with excellent content. Thanks Johnny, and Harry.
This is what I've been waiting for
Would be good to see you with Allen Millyard.
Nice to see you two talking together so smoothly like the two pistons in a 2CV humming away in harmony. Thank you.
Really enjoyed this...great to listen to such knowledgeable people sharing their thoughts about a common passion. No need to show off, nothing to prove, just a great chat about cars. Love it
From Australia. Harry and Evo are legend here too. ‘Live the dream’ like he said made those mags to awesome.
Great job Johnny
The Clio trophy needed a proper mention
Fun fact he bought that after it won a group test at Evo. Was supposed to be just a test car but I guess I didn't want to give it back 🤣
Normally Harry makes me fall asleep. This is the first time it did not happen👍 thanks Jonny!
Fabulous. Thank you Jonny and thank you Harry.
I know you're into EV restomods Jonny, but Harry makes a very valid point: if you're using a coal- or gas-fired grid to charge, it, where's the benefit of an EV? Making lightweight cars (and bikes) whose parts can be recycled without too much energy expenditure ought to be the priority.
Unfortunately Harry's wrong on this though, at least in the UK. On a good day my EV emits 20gCO2/km and the average for the year is 40gCO2/km (UK average electricity mix is about 45% from gas/hydrocarbon). It replaced a 2016 Fiesta ST which produced 125gCO2/km, so even with today's every mix it's a 75% improvement.
What we need is both a shift to EV and continued move towards clean electricity.
Harry is such fun. He has the rare gift of really loving cars, but being a really nice bloke as well.
I remember being a paper lad during the late 1970's and seeing a front cover of John Nutting lent right over on a Z1300 and it blowing my mind, all you could see was the engine, my late Father always had Honda's and I got a ride of a CBX 1000 when I was 14 years old. I have ridden them both in later years and yes the motors are smooth and silky but the handle like a drunk pig on stilettos on an ice rink and take the same amount of time to stop as a fully loaded super tanker. Good Hero bikes of the time though.
You should see about hosting one of your tour events at Harry's place. He seems like the kind of person who'd be up for it and it'd give him content for his own channel.
....most farmers I know are always up for a bit of diversified income.
As game as Harry may be, I’m not so sure he, or his neighbors, would like the world to know exactly where he lives. Enough car CZcamsrs have used “his” test roads already. And I think his family would prefer a bit of anonymity. Still….
I caught a glimpse of the CBX and Z1300 , was really hoping they would be shown, thank you! So rare to see the Z1300!
That F40 and 911 turbo S. 😍😍
thank you for taking us. cheers
When you watch half of part one before work, thinking I'll watch the rest after work....then bingo! Thanks so much Jonny!
I think taking the brown chairs to Ian Tyrrell would be fascinating.
Before joining KIA I spent a good portion of my life working for Franchises and one in particular was a Fiat/Jeep/Abarth dealership owned by our wonderful neighbours in Scotland.AC.and I don’t mean air conditioning. That I spent 8 years at anyway I digress. The 4x4 Panda was as capable off road as a wrangler ( if not more so ) I have done things in a twinair 4x4 panda you wouldn’t imagine possible. What a machine !! And i can see why anyone who uses them to full potential would rate them.
The only two car Channels I've ever subscribed to get together for a couple of episodes. Love it thanks
Whenever I see one of Harry's videos, I am always mesmerised by the F40 even though it isn't his.
Just awesome!
Loved the interview, love Harry!
Wow, wow, wow! Just truly awesome!
I could listen to Harry for days.
Harry , we also have a 70s Fiat 500 , had same issue for over a year , changed carb , plugs leads fuel pump etc etc
Took it to a garage and came back exactly the same.
In the end I ordered a refurbished distributor as new wasn’t available.
It’s cured it straight away.
Excellent, part 2 straight away.
Another superb video Jonny and Harry. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks guys! You two are awesome!! 👏🏻😎👌🏻
What a great combo of two of my favourite people! Also learnt quite a bit about Harry that I didn’t know before! Nice work
Thank you both for the interesting story, the sharing of life steps, it’s ever so inspiring! 🙏🏻
Just brilliant!
Thank you Jonny. Really fantastic!
Got to say that I thoroughly enjoyed both these videos Jonny. You produce such a great mix of content across the motoring spectrum. Love the anticipation of what your next vid will be and I'm never close 😀
Lovely cars brilliant interview 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You both seem like genuine, humble nice guys. Great content and so enjoyable to watch 👍🏻
Absolute pleasure.
Two of your best videos ever. Harry is awesome in all ways 👏
Two masters of the Motors..... Great video Jonny.... :-)))
Thanks Jonny, thoroughly enjoyed these 2 videos. 👏 well done to you both.
what a team....great show.....always nice to hear conversations between knowledgable and enthusiastic people....
I’d happily watch a part 3, 4, 5, 6,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,! Brilliant.
Thanks Johny nice to see you chat with my favourite content provider. Love your vids also
Ive just realised that the Panda is actually, by far, the coolest car in the garage!! :-)
One day people are going to realize how cool and well designed they are
What a fantastic video, two of the most level headed CZcams providers. Looking forward to part two.
Nice to have a bit of Harry's back story , I knew a bit , but now I know more , great idea for a chat , and now his cars and others, brilliant .
Totally fabulous
Harrys all night garages, fantastic! Well done.
2 of my favorite car Journalists, such a pleasure, thank you Jonny.
You two should do more stuff like this, this was great, thanks!
Top quality yet again guys. Could listen to Harry for hours. Thanks Jonny. 👍👍🇬🇧
Brilliant....... Just brilliant.....
Another great discussion with Harry, two specialist making sense of the car seen, very enjoyable, Cheers Bob
Great pair of videos, good to hear some of Harry's back story after watching his channel fir a couple of years. There's no one else I'd put up with that many adverts to listen too.
What a great episode to watch on a day off 👏
Gentlemen thank you both for these vids, all the best for the future.
Now this is what I'm talking about!
Thanks!
Great video. Even after two videos, I would still like to have more😀
Great vid Jonny, ably abetted by Harry. Lots of great ideas put out there, especially that Rolla with a knock-out colour job.
Top man, one of the easiest enthusiasts to listen to, so down to earth. It didn't get a mention, but nice to see he has Kawasaki triple in his collection too, just like Maverick :)
Two greats talking about cool cars👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
very interesting.
two great presenters. well done
Got to say you got to be up there with the best of the car stuff on CZcams.
thank you for doing the walk around Jonny. Enjoyed it. Also made me late for my next appointment, I was NOT going to pause this for later.
Really enjoyed the video. Thank you! A shame the audio was so quiet overall and occasionally spiked very loud in certain sections. But brilliant overall
Great to see Harry's all night garage Jonny, thank you!
Brilliant Jonny, so happy to see you with Harry Metcalfe, what a top guy!!!!
Two of the best, together at last. So easy to watch these two gents, relaxing and fun. Just shows that you don’t need the latest, most radical Lamborghini that “I’ve just ordered!!!!” to entertain. Great pair of videos Jonny 🙂🤙🏻
12:00 The sound those inline 6 bikes makes is simply staggering. They're insanely good sounding. A CBX etc with a nice set of pipes...good lord
Brilliant Jonny LBS , my favourite show, Harry has the Jag , what a wonderful car. Love his mentality.
This has been the best pairing of CZcamsrs 👍🏻 great video
Wonderful Car and Bike collection from a well used 4x4 Panda to Ferrari's and Jag's love his just restored XJC V12 love that colour 👍👍
Fantastic video, as usual! I hope Harry does a video on the solar system, sounds huge!
I'm sure he will cover it on his other channel
another great interview with Harry
Another wonderful video.
Wow Harry and Jonny...what a pairing 😊
Fantastic video. Definitely needed a part 2. The XJC V12 for me please.
