Please don't stop the restoration/long term project videos, Harry. I'm surprised they didn't do so well in terms of views. For me they're one of the very best things on this channel. I've learned an immense amount from following the full restoration process from start to finish, and it's fascinating to hear from the mechanics (particularly that Tyrrell bloke, whoever he is).
I agree! I may not fit the demographic of most viewers, being 56, Dutch and from Portugal, but I could relate to that series so well, as I'm restoring a car as well. I was secretly hoping it would be so successful that it would grant a dedicated restoration spinoff channel.
Well that's interesting; the "least popular" videos, notably the restoration ones, were among my favourite ones! Especially the Zagato series; learning about the wonderful artisan craftsmanship there is, in the UK, is fascinating, and just such a joy to see expert craftsmen at work, doing what they do best. I like all of them, but I really hope you keep doing the full range of topics, not just the popular ones. And thank you for giving Ian Tyrell the inspiration to start his own channel!
Yeah I think the problem with restoration series isn't that they are not interesting since people really seem to like them. But people don't usually want to go through the whole series if they happen to jump in midway. Simple rewiews and longer format roadtrips probably perform better because they are self contained and you don't feel like you have some catching up to do to enjoy them.
It would be interesting to see the numbers watched by subscribers. I suspect a lot of the most popular videos will be because they feature a new car or a popular brand that people are searching for videos about at the time of release. How many people go onto RUclips and search for a Lancia Zagato restoration?
Dear Harry, all the least popular videos were the most meaningful. please never fall into the trap of entirely surrendering to the algorithm...its been the downfall of all my favorite channels. keep up the great work. those that arent initially popular might burn more slowly but ultimately get the most views anyway....all the best in the new year....
I am really surprised at the restoration videos being the least popular. I found them amazing. Don't stop doing those, Harry. The Zagato and XJ12C restoration were eye-opening.
Would need to look at watched by subbed/non-subbed to really figure it out. I imagine the stuff 'we' really don't like (cough... Ferrari SUV) bring in more non-subbed views.
This 63 year old american loved your Zagato restoration, and your trip to Spain on the 930. Please keep doing what you love because for many of us it's exactly the same as you Harry. Thank you sir.
I'm surprised and disappointed about how few people watched the Lancia videos, because they were my favourites. I also loved any time you took a trip to Iain Tyrell's with one of your Lamborghinis. Please keep doing more videos like this Harry, as well as it being fascinating to watch these cars come back to their former glory, the skills of some of these people are incredible and need to be celebrated!!
My exact thoughts! I couldn't wait to see what was happening to the Lancia, and anything involving Ian Tyrell is always brilliant too. Please keep the resto videos going. Coolest car in the garage now? Lancia Zagato imo!
Yup, my favorite videos were the least watched ones! Really don't want silly multi-million dollar hyper-car content as there is already too much of that stuff on other channels, and those things are just dumb (IMO) Oh well, hopefully Harry keeps doing what he loves, and not chasing the views.
Don't pay too much attention to the analytics, the range and eclectic mix of your videos are what keeps me coming back. Loved all the classics, the newer Ferrari car reviews I have no real interest in but if I'm going to listen to a review it'd be yours. Just keep doing what your doing Harry
Hello Harry, please do keep doing your restoration video's they are great. These are the sort of video's that people need to take time out to watch and have no distractions, however not everyone has the time to watch them when the video's first come out. Your Video's at the restoration workshops really do show the enthusiasm that the trades people have and the pride they take in their work and that needs to be appreciated and your videos do that very well. Do keep up the great and very varied content that you publish on your two channels. Looking forward to future content :)
The restoration videos were my favourite. Displaying the craftsmanship and passion that went into the Lancia and the connection to the finished machine with the personal history attached was a riveting story l thought. Of course the symbiotic relationship of Tyrrell - Metcalfe, two leading figures in cars, makes for fascinating and entertaining conversation. All great stuff!
Restorations are 11/10. Watching flat sheets of metal being transformed into panels with compound curves was sensational. Reverse engineering the Aston colour then modifying it to your particular taste was intriguing. The thinking man's Harry's Garage!
The restoration videos of the Zagato and the XJ12C were really fascinating. I was always, 'just checking in', on the site to see what progress had been made. Maybe not so popular but one of the main reasons I watch the channel. The unveiling of the Zagato was, well, kind of RUclips highlight. So appreciate all your work. Thank you.
Highlight of my year was seeing the Lancia unveiled. This 56 year old bloke may have shed a tear at its beauty. The Garage and the Farm content are must watch moments for me. Keep up the fabulous work, wishing you and your family all the very best for 2023. Our Toby sends a woof to Stanley too.
I absolutely love your road trip videos, some of my favorites. The fact you REALLY drive your collection in the real world makes your channel stand out among the rest.
The Fulvia and Countach restorations may have been low in viewing terms but they were some of the best, and when you had the Fulvia reveal it was one of the 'realest' moments I've seen on any car video/tv/film... ever! You could see how much it meant you and it was a pleasure to witness. Thanks for everything so far and looking forward to more.
The Lancia series has been unbelievable! I love that car and I love that you took us along in the process. I waited 2 years to see the results and it has been an amazing journey! Don't stop
As a viewer from India, I can understand why your videos are so popular here. The way we get to ride along with you on every test drive is an experience no one else can ever hope replicate so effortlessly and stylishly 🥂🥂
@@rgfromkl3594 Harry is so gifted in presenting anything. I watch Harry's Farm as well and his coverage of harvesting season is more interesting to watch than half of the F1 season.
I would just like to thank you and Mrs. Metcalf for all of the work you both put into these videos to entertain us. Long may you continue. Many thanks.👍👍
Please don’t stop ANYTHING! I love your Project 7 trips, your Fulvia restoration episodes and all the other wonderful uploads. If you did a field test of a Massey Ferguson tractor, I’d watch it!
Please keep the P7 and restoration vids coming. I was glued to every episode of the Fulvia restoration, and seeing the end product was absolutely superb. Thank you for making my 2022 more enjoyable.
I adored the Lancia Zagato vids, absolute treat to watch those master craftsmen at work and sharing their vast expertise with us. Then again, I think all the restoration and 20th century car vids are fantastic. Thanks Harry.
Haha. The least watched videoes were my favourites! Please do not stop sharing restoration and repair/upgrading. Luckily I know I can count on seeing more of the Lancia Zagato considering your obvious love for it. I wish you keep us informed about the technical issues with the XJC, and of course bring us along to Ians workshop whenever you go there :-) Thank you for a number of high quality videoes on ditto cars! Greetings from Norway
The Jaguar XJ12C restoration was a fantastic series, and the results were stunning. Hopefully, you will do another series, maybe a 70s or 80s Mercedes-Benz or BMW.
I absolutely loved the Lamborghini restoration videos. I enjoy seeing the quirky insides and parts you don’t normally see, unlike just a review video that shows the same things on every channel.
For me Harry, the craftsmanship shown in the restoration projects just makes you realise what a fantastic support industry we have to keep these magical cars on the road. They were an absolute highlight. Maybe its an age thing and like yourself, being over 60, brings back memories from childhood of either owning these cars or admiring them from afar. I don't pick and choose your videos to watch, I watch every single one! Why? Because you are the best in the business at making these videos! There is none of this shrill 'Murray Walker' style narration or commentary, as though we are all watching the final laps of a Grand Prix, just the impression that we are all with you in the local pub, supping a pint and listening to an immensely enjoyable conversation. Keep it up, Harry!
Harry your videos show what can be accomplished without network interference. Keep doing what you love to do. You can't please everyone. But you're doing a Hell of a job👍🇨🇦
I'm not one to gauge your viewer mass from, because I watch almost everything you put out. But it's a little surprising to hear the stats. It's almost opposite to what videos I've enjoyed. You live a life among cars I believe many of us dream of, but don't have the means to. Also the fact you bring your wife (or she brings you) even though we don't get to see her, we know she's there. Thirdly, the values, experiences and life events you get out of doing things with vehicles are kind of what I personally dream of when I watch your videos. Those things matter to me. I also enjoy your other channel, which shows your values and views on topics that also interest me. I find myself agreeing with you in much of it. Thank you for a great 2022, and a happy new year for 2023!
Harry, please don´t look to hard at viewing figures, those of us who love your restoration videos may be in the minority but the passion is full on! Your restoration videos have been among my most favourite. My least favourites have been the modern Porsche and Ferrari videos but that is because it seems everyone and their aunt has these cars and the content is massive on youtube!
I think the restoration videos are the absolute best. Seeing all that impressive craftsmanship in the UK is amazing. They are alive thanks to customers like you. As a Lancia owner I of course puts the Zagato series on top.
I enjoy the restoration vlogs, a lot. That look behind the scenes, letting us be a part of the history of the cars, is some of the best content you put out, imho.
Ditto the restoration/repair vids,fascinating look at the huge varied skills needed to achieve a fantastic end result The end product Lancia Zagato is simply beautiful,considering what a total basket case you discovered,this proves what a real car guy you are👍
Was surprised to hear the rebuild videos are not so popular among your viewers (as they're my favourite). I love seeing the expertise and talent put into restoring these gems of cars that you have. Love the content and looking forward to more in 2023.
It was not all of the build videos. The Jag and Lambo build videos have done well I think. I think the Zagato is just too "pedestrian" for a lot of people to connect with.
The Zagato restoration videos were my favourites. So good to watch such skilled craftsmen at work and a beautiful car emerge at the end. But then, that car is my vintage.
I am another that was surprised that the restoration videos were not as popular. By far my favorite series was the Lancia Zagato. Keep up the great work, love your channel!
I never clicked on any subscribed channels so quickly as on the Lancia restoration videos. The engineering brilliance of that little car and the artisan skills being shown in restoring it blew my socks off every time. So maybe we're a minority audience, but all the more enthusiastic for it. I also duly look forward watching it work hard for its living.
The restoration videos are the reason I started watching your channel. As someone who swapped a Rapier motor in me front garden it's nice to see people doing it properly. 😁
Dear Harry! I am afraid to be one of those who love your least watched videos the most! The Lancia is a gem, and when I bought my totally crazy Delta Integrale and had it restored, I guess I had a similar feeling like you did when your Zagato was there. And, I am also struggling with E-Mobility, as I view it as a bridge technology. Therefore I was very interested in your explanations of E-fuels, and have finally understood more about it. There is a motor journalist in Germany, Mr. Bloch, who does excellent technical and emotional videos of a similar quality like yours, but your „gentleman Factor“ and your calm and still euphoric style makes you my favorite You-Tuber. By the way, I could do without the modern Ferraris, the last one that fascinated me was the Enzo…. Thank you for a great year full of information! yours sincerely, Niki R. Nikolaus from Austria!
Love the restoration projects, the lancia was such a rare car with such a lovely back story. what a treat to see a full restoration on it. It also means another classic stays on the road.
I love the restoration videos! I love watching those craftsmen work and I love the geeky nature of those topics. Also it blows my mind about the P7... that car is too cool!
Please keep making the videos you make especially the restoration ones and the road trips ones. For me you give an honest and fair review of the cars you own and review. I, like us all will look forward to another brilliant year at Harry’s Garage.
I love the resto videos, also the classics. Not a bike guy so they don’t really interest me as much! Love the channel and you can’t really do any wrong in my opinion. A stunning car collection and a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guy 😀
It’s been a pretty disappointing year in general but here on your channel it’s been an absolute blinder Harry, so a huge thank you. Please keep doing what you do and I’m sure we’ll all keep watching 😀I hope 2023 is a great year for you and your family 🍾👍😀 Thank you ! PS, hoping it’s a great year on the farm too !
Like many, I really enjoyed the restoration of the Jaguar XJ12C; captivating stuff. But also, as you said, I really like the idea of the internet; dotted all over the world will be people watching your videos and just sinking into them, it is a community thing and it is great to be able to join in! I like Harry's Farm too, it does a great job
Another plea to keep going with the restoration videos, really enjoy them. Also great to see the skills of the people doing the work. Great channel and maybe 1m subscribers in 2023?
Love the restoration vids too, I think they are slow burners that give the channel richness and depth. I can imagine how Harry felt seeing that Zagato rebuilt given the back story, a unique moment. Happy new year all!
I can honestly say Harry that I love all of your videos and find it amazing that people don’t watch all of them religiously! What do you mean they only watch some more than others!! I rewatch many of them they are that enjoyable. I know I’m not the only person who feels like I’m sitting down with an old friend chatting about cars each time I watch and that is the real skill you have, along with your obvious extensive knowledge and experience. The trips, the restorations, your general thoughts about all things ‘petrolhead’, the motorbike trips, I love them all. You live our dream life and we appreciate you taking us along for the ride…. Please just keep them coming 🙏
I watch and enjoy all your HG and HF videos. The Zagato restoration was my absolute favourite, I was in awe of the incredible metalwork skills of Adrian and Sam. XJ restoration was equally fascinating. Love the roadtrips too. Conversely the Ferrari Prosangue was the one I was least interested in!
Harry, your restoration videos are fantastic. By far and away the best educational videos on RUclips. Please don’t stop doing them. Also the bike adventures are magnificent. Please, seriously consider restoring your classic Range Rover, it would be outstanding.
Don't surrender to the algorithm Harry. Just do your thing with all your passion and enthusiasm. That's what gets us interested. I don't even like bikes and I've found myself browsing through the classifieds for Africa twins after watching the sand raiders adventure! The journey and the adventures are what makes your videos so special. Thank you for your efforts in 2022, and I'm sure you'll treat us with more great content in 2023! All the best
Love your videos Harry. I hope you don't do too much to chase viewer numbers, its the range of cars and your in depth knowledge that makes them. Also love your farm videos, I keep watching them to see how the Oil seed rape is performing.
Precisely. I'm here to see Harry get giddy over cars. He's such a nerd, it's a pleasure to see someone half as passionate about anything as he is about cars.
I think my favorite videos you made in 2022 were the Sand Raiders videos. It was such a cool experience and I'm grateful you chose to share it with the world. After that I would say the Spain trip and then the Zagato restoration were close behind. I can't wait to see what 2023 brings us! Thanks, Harry!
I hope you can continue to showcase the excellent craftmanship of the restorers. I waited keenly for each new episode. I understand if they have to be tagged on as bonus features on occasions ? Love the road trips. Can't afford a classic right now, but I did your " favourite bit of road " this last summer, and next sumer's road trip will be Isle of Man via Conniston !
_"I've bought this for me to enjoy forevermore, just for this moment in time when 50 years ago this sparked my interest in cars."_ That for me at the end of Lancia restoration series was the best moment of the year on Harry's Garage and the quality of that restoration series is something you just can't find on TV and why I'm thankful RUclips exists to see a moment like that. I hope that you'll keep doing restoration videos, but at the same time, I wonder if you'll run out of work to show after your collection has been all fixed up. Please also keep making your Silverstone auction videos, road trips, and if you get a chance to visit another factory like Pagani and Lotus make more of those as well. Like others have said, don't give in to the algorithm! Thanks again, Harry. 👍
Harry, all your videos are compulsory viewing as far as I’m concerned and I love the restoration ones. Between yourself and Iain Tyrrell my motoring needs are fully met!
I've still got the Countach restoration videos in my 'watch later' list. Thanks for all your efforts in making these videos Harry. These are the 'make a cup of tea and put your feet up' moments for us viewers.
Harry, your channel is like no other. I appreciate all of your videos, because of how you vary the content. The algorithms have Zero Emotion, but all of your videos have Tons of, Emotion.... it was a very good year at Harry's Garage!
I must be an old fart! I love the restoration video's! When you picked up the Lancia - that bought a tear to my eye - the back story, to find the actual car that turned you into a petrol head - amazing! How many of us would love to do that? Keep up the great work Harry and massive thanks! Happy New Year!
Your videos, with their high production quality, articulate and most knowledgeable narrations, covering intriguing types, truly enhance my life. The joie de vivre you present to the camera becomes infectious. Looking away becomes impossible. The restorations are glorious and watched over and over, absorbing the artists and their techniques. The Lancia topped the list for me, followed closely by the Jag. But the Emira odyssey was pure opera, to be enjoyed over and over. Thank you.
Great videos throughout the year which I look forward to watching every week...Like so many have said keep doing the restoration and road trip videos...they are my favourites 👍👍👍
I really enjoy the technical details of the Lamborghini rebuild with Iain Tyrrell! These videos are the reason i started following his channel too. Greetings from Finland. (Also love the sound of the Chiron!)
I’m surprised that the Lancia Zagato rebuild series is so unpopular that series and the Jaguar videos are some of my favourites the craftsman that worked on the cars are 2nd to none, I’m not surprised that people loved the series on the Lotus it was a fantastic series, looking forward to seeing more videos from you in 2023 👍🏼
You have to understand that not all that watch are gearheads. They may like cars, but purely from a simplistic viewpoint. Some people say they are car guys, but they wouldn't know how to do an oil change if you painted the drain plug pink and handed them the correct size wrench.
Viewer from Belgium here ! Personally I’ve loved every video of 2022, seeing the thumbnail of a new video on my home page always made me smile 🙌🏾🙌🏾 if I had to choose THE video of 2022 I’d say the trip through Morocco on those classic Bikes, such a vibe I love the sensations shared through it !!! Hope to see it again for 2023
I really enjoyed the videos on the restoration af the Lancia. What a car and the result is absolutely perfect. Keep the videos coming and looking forward to what you will show us in the year to come. Best wishes for a happy new year from Denmark.
I am watching from Azerbaijan and i am sad that many of my fellow citizens doesn't know you and your channel. Awesome cars and excellent reviews. Good luck Hurry, you are me in my 60ths)))
The Chiron video was absolutely brilliant; has anyone else in the world provided such a complete review of the car? Pretty sure this video stands in isolation. I've really enjoyed the variety of the videos throughout the year. Bikes or cars, I watch and enjoy the content! Happy New Year to you and I look forward to 2023's content. 👍
I really love the fact that I found your channel, the reviews seem to be right! My favourites have been on the restoration projects, funny to think that not everyone agrees?? the bike ones for me took a little bit of perseverance but were still good. I would ask for more road trips and Maintenance ones as they are different to ones out there. thanks and keep them coming!!
Harry, As an enthusiast and collector myself, I’ve found your honest, detailed approach invaluable as you approach each car as though you are purchasing it rather than as a car critic or motor magazine writer. Keep up the fantastic work! 👍🏼
Thanks for a great year Harry, the restoration videos I love, maybe being a chap in my late 50s is the key, enjoyed the 911GTS as an owner of a 997.2GTS and the Lotus collection, having owned an Evora for two years I have a build due in October..looking forward to more in 2023. Oh and now loving Harry’s Farm ❤
For me the restoration videos are a highlight, just seeing cars on the road is done by everyone , but understanding whats its like to live with the cars is far more interesting, knowing the costs and problems makes the cars more real
Shocked the Countach videos weren't more popular. One of my favourite videos was the road trip in the Countach. Looking forward to another when its all sorted as those road trips allow us to dream a little whilst we get about our own lives in the daily grind.
This really has become my favorite automotive RUclips channel this year! The mixture of journalism and personal travels/adventures and projects is fantastic, please keep up the great work!
Thanks Harry! I've really enjoyed your videos in 2022 - I can see why you are interested in the analytics, and some videos probably don't set the algorithm alight, but the variety is great. And I'm sure you will continue to do the stuff that you love, which is part of the genuine character of the channel, and sets it apart from so many others. All the best for 2023 😃
Please don't stop the restoration/long term project videos, Harry. I'm surprised they didn't do so well in terms of views. For me they're one of the very best things on this channel. I've learned an immense amount from following the full restoration process from start to finish, and it's fascinating to hear from the mechanics (particularly that Tyrrell bloke, whoever he is).
Ian sees Harry roll up in the Chiron and tells his secretary to add a 1 to the front of his repair bill.....
Someone here wants harry to go bankrupt😅
I agree! I may not fit the demographic of most viewers, being 56, Dutch and from Portugal, but I could relate to that series so well, as I'm restoring a car as well. I was secretly hoping it would be so successful that it would grant a dedicated restoration spinoff channel.
I agree don't stop recently found your channel and in love with the restoration projects, keep them going if you can
Totally agree. Watching the craftsmanship when restoring the Lancia was great. And, yes, Iain Tyrrell is amazing.
Well that's interesting; the "least popular" videos, notably the restoration ones, were among my favourite ones! Especially the Zagato series; learning about the wonderful artisan craftsmanship there is, in the UK, is fascinating, and just such a joy to see expert craftsmen at work, doing what they do best. I like all of them, but I really hope you keep doing the full range of topics, not just the popular ones. And thank you for giving Ian Tyrell the inspiration to start his own channel!

But people don't usually want to go through the whole series if they happen to jump in midway. Simple rewiews and longer format roadtrips probably perform better because they are self contained and you don't feel like you have some catching up to do to enjoy them.
same here, wish I had those skills and a workshop.
Yep right with you. Its why I watch Harry, that and his ability to communicate clearly without drama.
It would be interesting to see the numbers watched by subscribers. I suspect a lot of the most popular videos will be because they feature a new car or a popular brand that people are searching for videos about at the time of release. How many people go onto RUclips and search for a Lancia Zagato restoration?
Harry did actually quote those figures earlier in January when he did his yearly review.
Dear Harry, all the least popular videos were the most meaningful. please never fall into the trap of entirely surrendering to the algorithm...its been the downfall of all my favorite channels. keep up the great work. those that arent initially popular might burn more slowly but ultimately get the most views anyway....all the best in the new year....
All my favourite videos were the least popular ones!
I don't think we need to worry about that. It's not like he needs the ad money!
The restoration videos are my favourite, pretty much just two men have a boring man chat and I find it therapeutic I need more
I stuck at the zagato resto for as long as I could but It did get tiresome.
My favorite video is the next one!
How could anyone not like the restoration videos? I love those! I wouldn't mind more detail either. 🙂
I am really surprised at the restoration videos being the least popular. I found them amazing. Don't stop doing those, Harry. The Zagato and XJ12C restoration were eye-opening.
it's not that the Restorations are not popular it's just that the roadtrips and car reviews are even more popular !!
Audio in some of the restoration videos was truly awful. Might be a reason?
I came here to say the same thing. I think Allan is right though, everything else is just so much more popular.
I very much enjoyed watchting the restauration videos, especially the series on the Zagato.
Would need to look at watched by subbed/non-subbed to really figure it out. I imagine the stuff 'we' really don't like (cough... Ferrari SUV) bring in more non-subbed views.
Don't stop the restoration videos please, the quality of the craftsmanship I found breathtaking. Proof we can still do some things right🙂
This 63 year old american loved your Zagato restoration, and your trip to Spain on the 930. Please keep doing what you love because for many of us it's exactly the same as you Harry. Thank you sir.
This exactly! While the analytics might be interesting, please don't let them deter you from making videos about whatever you want.
I'm surprised and disappointed about how few people watched the Lancia videos, because they were my favourites. I also loved any time you took a trip to Iain Tyrell's with one of your Lamborghinis. Please keep doing more videos like this Harry, as well as it being fascinating to watch these cars come back to their former glory, the skills of some of these people are incredible and need to be celebrated!!
I agree entirely, great to watch the progress of the rebuild and the skills of the restorers. Please keep doing restoration videos!
I'm with you on this too.
me too...
My exact thoughts! I couldn't wait to see what was happening to the Lancia, and anything involving Ian Tyrell is always brilliant too. Please keep the resto videos going. Coolest car in the garage now? Lancia Zagato imo!

So true, we get to enjoy these rare gems vicariously and Harry is an encyclopedia on the subject.
@@rgfromkl3594 Harry is so gifted in presenting anything. I watch Harry's Farm as well and his coverage of harvesting season is more interesting to watch than half of the F1 season.
Totally agree... It's like your on the trip with Harry and Mrs M too.
Hello from Canada!
I would just like to thank you and Mrs. Metcalf for all of the work you both put into these videos to entertain us. Long may you continue. Many thanks.👍👍
Please don’t stop ANYTHING! I love your Project 7 trips, your Fulvia restoration episodes and all the other wonderful uploads. If you did a field test of a Massey Ferguson tractor, I’d watch it!
Don't let the viewing figure stop the technical resto stuff, those of us who watch it, LOVE it!
My favorite are the road trips and restoration projects. Great content as always, Harry. Keep it up, thank you!

More restoration videos i say! Those are the ones that really fascinate me, since i'd never have the means to do something like that myself
The restoration videos are so interesting, to bad they aren’t doing better 🥹 keep it up Harry, you are doing great, best regards from 🇩🇰
I absolutely loved the Lamborghini restoration videos. I enjoy seeing the quirky insides and parts you don’t normally see, unlike just a review video that shows the same things on every channel.
The restoration videos are the best for car nerds like us ,keep it up Harry 👍
For me Harry, the craftsmanship shown in the restoration projects just makes you realise what a fantastic support industry we have to keep these magical cars on the road. They were an absolute highlight. Maybe its an age thing and like yourself, being over 60, brings back memories from childhood of either owning these cars or admiring them from afar. I don't pick and choose your videos to watch, I watch every single one! Why? Because you are the best in the business at making these videos! There is none of this shrill 'Murray Walker' style narration or commentary, as though we are all watching the final laps of a Grand Prix, just the impression that we are all with you in the local pub, supping a pint and listening to an immensely enjoyable conversation. Keep it up, Harry!
Keep the restorations! The extra details about the cars are really interesting plus the skills and passion in the work.
Harry your videos show what can be accomplished without network interference. Keep doing what you love to do. You can't please everyone. But you're doing a Hell of a job👍🇨🇦
I'm not one to gauge your viewer mass from, because I watch almost everything you put out. But it's a little surprising to hear the stats. It's almost opposite to what videos I've enjoyed. You live a life among cars I believe many of us dream of, but don't have the means to. Also the fact you bring your wife (or she brings you) even though we don't get to see her, we know she's there. Thirdly, the values, experiences and life events you get out of doing things with vehicles are kind of what I personally dream of when I watch your videos. Those things matter to me.
I also enjoy your other channel, which shows your values and views on topics that also interest me. I find myself agreeing with you in much of it. Thank you for a great 2022, and a happy new year for 2023!
Please don't stop the restoration vids, it's hard to find good classic car vids on RUclips and your restoration vids are very, very, very good!!!
Harry, please don´t look to hard at viewing figures, those of us who love your restoration videos may be in the minority but the passion is full on! Your restoration videos have been among my most favourite. My least favourites have been the modern Porsche and Ferrari videos but that is because it seems everyone and their aunt has these cars and the content is massive on youtube!
I think the restoration videos are the absolute best. Seeing all that impressive craftsmanship in the UK is amazing. They are alive thanks to customers like you. As a Lancia owner I of course puts the Zagato series on top.
I enjoy the restoration vlogs, a lot. That look behind the scenes, letting us be a part of the history of the cars, is some of the best content you put out, imho.
Harry. Please. As an evo reader from the 90s. Do not stop the restoration videos. Quality not quantity my man. Top notch stuff ❤
Ditto the restoration/repair vids,fascinating look at the huge varied skills needed to achieve a fantastic end result
The end product Lancia Zagato is simply beautiful,considering what a total basket case you discovered,this proves what a real car guy you are👍
Exactly this. As much as I loved all the other videos, the restoration videos I found particularly enjoyable.
Was surprised to hear the rebuild videos are not so popular among your viewers (as they're my favourite). I love seeing the expertise and talent put into restoring these gems of cars that you have. Love the content and looking forward to more in 2023.
It was not all of the build videos. The Jag and Lambo build videos have done well I think. I think the Zagato is just too "pedestrian" for a lot of people to connect with.
The Zagato restoration videos were my favourites. So good to watch such skilled craftsmen at work and a beautiful car emerge at the end. But then, that car is my vintage.
I liked the restoration videos. Watching the craftsmen do their magic is very interesting. Your road trips are a favorite too.
I am another that was surprised that the restoration videos were not as popular. By far my favorite series was the Lancia Zagato. Keep up the great work, love your channel!
For me the Zagato series, the Emira trip Emira and the 930 to Spain were the best ones! Now more adventures in 2023 that will be awesome for sure
I never clicked on any subscribed channels so quickly as on the Lancia restoration videos. The engineering brilliance of that little car and the artisan skills being shown in restoring it blew my socks off every time. So maybe we're a minority audience, but all the more enthusiastic for it. I also duly look forward watching it work hard for its living.
The restoration videos are important, many youtubers do car reviews but these restorations are unique
The restoration videos are the reason I started watching your channel. As someone who swapped a Rapier motor in me front garden it's nice to see people doing it properly. 😁
Keep them coming! Good balance as I do enjoy the restoration section, like the farm videos good to see the difficulty in running a farm 😊
Dear Harry! I am afraid to be one of those who love your least watched videos the most! The Lancia is a gem, and when I bought my totally crazy Delta Integrale and had it restored, I guess I had a similar feeling like you did when your Zagato was there. And, I am also struggling with E-Mobility, as I view it as a bridge technology. Therefore I was very interested in your explanations of E-fuels, and have finally understood more about it. There is a motor journalist in Germany, Mr. Bloch, who does excellent technical and emotional videos of a similar quality like yours, but your „gentleman Factor“ and your calm and still euphoric style makes you my favorite You-Tuber. By the way, I could do without the modern Ferraris, the last one that fascinated me was the Enzo….
Thank you for a great year full of information! yours sincerely, Niki R. Nikolaus from Austria!
Love the restoration projects, the lancia was such a rare car with such a lovely back story. what a treat to see a full restoration on it. It also means another classic stays on the road.
I love the restoration videos! I love watching those craftsmen work and I love the geeky nature of those topics. Also it blows my mind about the P7... that car is too cool!
Please keep making the videos you make especially the restoration ones and the road trips ones. For me you give an honest and fair review of the cars you own and review. I, like us all will look forward to another brilliant year at Harry’s Garage.
Loving the road trips Harry and a massive thanks for the hours and hours you put into these vids. It’s really appreciated.
I love the resto videos, also the classics. Not a bike guy so they don’t really interest me as much!
Love the channel and you can’t really do any wrong in my opinion.
A stunning car collection and a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guy 😀
It’s been a pretty disappointing year in general but here on your channel it’s been an absolute blinder Harry, so a huge thank you. Please keep doing what you do and I’m sure we’ll all keep watching 😀I hope 2023 is a great year for you and your family 🍾👍😀 Thank you ! PS, hoping it’s a great year on the farm too !
Like many, I really enjoyed the restoration of the Jaguar XJ12C; captivating stuff. But also, as you said, I really like the idea of the internet; dotted all over the world will be people watching your videos and just sinking into them, it is a community thing and it is great to be able to join in! I like Harry's Farm too, it does a great job
Another plea to keep going with the restoration videos, really enjoy them. Also great to see the skills of the people doing the work. Great channel and maybe 1m subscribers in 2023?
Love the restoration vids too, I think they are slow burners that give the channel richness and depth. I can imagine how Harry felt seeing that Zagato rebuilt given the back story, a unique moment. Happy new year all!
I can honestly say Harry that I love all of your videos and find it amazing that people don’t watch all of them religiously! What do you mean they only watch some more than others!! I rewatch many of them they are that enjoyable. I know I’m not the only person who feels like I’m sitting down with an old friend chatting about cars each time I watch and that is the real skill you have, along with your obvious extensive knowledge and experience. The trips, the restorations, your general thoughts about all things ‘petrolhead’, the motorbike trips, I love them all. You live our dream life and we appreciate you taking us along for the ride…. Please just keep them coming 🙏
Despite what the data show, the restoration videos are my absolute favorite on this channel.
The Jag and the Lancia my absolute favorites. Brilliant work on both. Thanks Harry.
I watch and enjoy all your HG and HF videos. The Zagato restoration was my absolute favourite, I was in awe of the incredible metalwork skills of Adrian and Sam. XJ restoration was equally fascinating. Love the roadtrips too. Conversely the Ferrari Prosangue was the one I was least interested in!
Harry, your restoration videos are fantastic. By far and away the best educational videos on RUclips. Please don’t stop doing them. Also the bike adventures are magnificent. Please, seriously consider restoring your classic Range Rover, it would be outstanding.
Don't surrender to the algorithm Harry. Just do your thing with all your passion and enthusiasm. That's what gets us interested. I don't even like bikes and I've found myself browsing through the classifieds for Africa twins after watching the sand raiders adventure! The journey and the adventures are what makes your videos so special. Thank you for your efforts in 2022, and I'm sure you'll treat us with more great content in 2023! All the best
You're confusing the algorithm with statistics. It is what it is. People just like some videos more than others.
The restoration videos are by far my favourite videos, it's great to see them come to life.....
Love your videos Harry. I hope you don't do too much to chase viewer numbers, its the range of cars and your in depth knowledge that makes them. Also love your farm videos, I keep watching them to see how the Oil seed rape is performing.
This!
Precisely.
I'm here to see Harry get giddy over cars. He's such a nerd, it's a pleasure to see someone half as passionate about anything as he is about cars.
True. Harry's farm is one of the best channels I've found on RUclips👍
I think my favorite videos you made in 2022 were the Sand Raiders videos. It was such a cool experience and I'm grateful you chose to share it with the world. After that I would say the Spain trip and then the Zagato restoration were close behind. I can't wait to see what 2023 brings us! Thanks, Harry!
I hope you can continue to showcase the excellent craftmanship of the restorers. I waited keenly for each new episode. I understand if they have to be tagged on as bonus features on occasions ? Love the road trips. Can't afford a classic right now, but I did your " favourite bit of road " this last summer, and next sumer's road trip will be Isle of Man via Conniston !
_"I've bought this for me to enjoy forevermore, just for this moment in time when 50 years ago this sparked my interest in cars."_
That for me at the end of Lancia restoration series was the best moment of the year on Harry's Garage and the quality of that restoration series is something you just can't find on TV and why I'm thankful RUclips exists to see a moment like that. I hope that you'll keep doing restoration videos, but at the same time, I wonder if you'll run out of work to show after your collection has been all fixed up. Please also keep making your Silverstone auction videos, road trips, and if you get a chance to visit another factory like Pagani and Lotus make more of those as well. Like others have said, don't give in to the algorithm! Thanks again, Harry. 👍
Harry, all your videos are compulsory viewing as far as I’m concerned and I love the restoration ones. Between yourself and Iain Tyrrell my motoring needs are fully met!
Loved the restoration vids and everything else to be honest!! One of my favourite channels!
Some brilliant videos in 2022 - I really hope you take the Zagato Fulvia on some European trips this year!
I've still got the Countach restoration videos in my 'watch later' list. Thanks for all your efforts in making these videos Harry. These are the 'make a cup of tea and put your feet up' moments for us viewers.
Harry, your channel is like no other. I appreciate all of your videos, because of how you vary the content. The algorithms have Zero Emotion, but all of your videos have Tons of, Emotion.... it was a very good year at Harry's Garage!
I did not miss any of the restoration videos, thank you for the content of this great channel!
I must be an old fart! I love the restoration video's! When you picked up the Lancia - that bought a tear to my eye - the back story, to find the actual car that turned you into a petrol head - amazing! How many of us would love to do that? Keep up the great work Harry and massive thanks! Happy New Year!
Your videos, with their high production quality, articulate and most knowledgeable narrations, covering intriguing types, truly enhance my life. The joie de vivre you present to the camera becomes infectious. Looking away becomes impossible.
The restorations are glorious and watched over and over, absorbing the artists and their techniques. The Lancia topped the list for me, followed closely by the Jag. But the Emira odyssey was pure opera, to be enjoyed over and over.
Thank you.
Please keep the restoration videos coming they are a gold mine of information.
Great videos throughout the year which I look forward to watching every week...Like so many have said keep doing the restoration and road trip videos...they are my favourites 👍👍👍
I really enjoy the technical details of the Lamborghini rebuild with Iain Tyrrell! These videos are the reason i started following his channel too. Greetings from Finland.
(Also love the sound of the Chiron!)
Harry- you are a very sympathic Petrol Head 😎 Thank you very much for all the Time you spend for us.
I’m surprised that the Lancia Zagato rebuild series is so unpopular that series and the Jaguar videos are some of my favourites the craftsman that worked on the cars are 2nd to none, I’m not surprised that people loved the series on the Lotus it was a fantastic series, looking forward to seeing more videos from you in 2023 👍🏼
You have to understand that not all that watch are gearheads. They may like cars, but purely from a simplistic viewpoint. Some people say they are car guys, but they wouldn't know how to do an oil change if you painted the drain plug pink and handed them the correct size wrench.
Viewer from Belgium here ! Personally I’ve loved every video of 2022, seeing the thumbnail of a new video on my home page always made me smile 🙌🏾🙌🏾 if I had to choose THE video of 2022 I’d say the trip through Morocco on those classic Bikes, such a vibe I love the sensations shared through it !!! Hope to see it again for 2023
Love all of your videos Harry, including the restoration ones. Thank you for help in making our 2022 informative and enjoyable. Take care.
I've been watching your videos for more than 8 years from Hong Kong and recently moved back to the UK, enjoying it very much thank you.
I really enjoyed the videos on the restoration af the Lancia. What a car and the result is absolutely perfect. Keep the videos coming and looking forward to what you will show us in the year to come. Best wishes for a happy new year from Denmark.
I am watching from Azerbaijan and i am sad that many of my fellow citizens doesn't know you and your channel. Awesome cars and excellent reviews. Good luck Hurry, you are me in my 60ths)))
The Chiron video was absolutely brilliant; has anyone else in the world provided such a complete review of the car? Pretty sure this video stands in isolation.
I've really enjoyed the variety of the videos throughout the year. Bikes or cars, I watch and enjoy the content! Happy New Year to you and I look forward to 2023's content. 👍
I really love the fact that I found your channel, the reviews seem to be right! My favourites have been on the restoration projects, funny to think that not everyone agrees??
the bike ones for me took a little bit of perseverance but were still good.
I would ask for more road trips and Maintenance ones as they are different to ones out there.
thanks and keep them coming!!
Harry,
As an enthusiast and collector myself, I’ve found your honest, detailed approach invaluable as you approach each car as though you are purchasing it rather than as a car critic or motor magazine writer.
Keep up the fantastic work! 👍🏼
Thanks for a great year Harry, the restoration videos I love, maybe being a chap in my late 50s is the key, enjoyed the 911GTS as an owner of a 997.2GTS and the Lotus collection, having owned an Evora for two years I have a build due in October..looking forward to more in 2023. Oh and now loving Harry’s Farm ❤
For me the restoration videos are a highlight, just seeing cars on the road is done by everyone , but understanding whats its like to live with the cars is far more interesting, knowing the costs and problems makes the cars more real
Congratulations Harry. It has been a great ride
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
All the best to everyone
Shocked the Countach videos weren't more popular. One of my favourite videos was the road trip in the Countach. Looking forward to another when its all sorted as those road trips allow us to dream a little whilst we get about our own lives in the daily grind.
We are all so lucky to have you, Harry! ❤
This really has become my favorite automotive RUclips channel this year! The mixture of journalism and personal travels/adventures and projects is fantastic, please keep up the great work!
Thanks Harry! I've really enjoyed your videos in 2022 - I can see why you are interested in the analytics, and some videos probably don't set the algorithm alight, but the variety is great. And I'm sure you will continue to do the stuff that you love, which is part of the genuine character of the channel, and sets it apart from so many others. All the best for 2023 😃
