    "description": "<p>Nobody knows cars like Chris Harris does. He calls it 'unhinged geekery', but to the rest of the world it's infectious enthusiasm, adrenaline-fuelled escapism and rigorous journalistic integrity. Then there are his famous skills at the wheel from city cars to rally cars, not forgetting the Guinness World Record 3,4 km sideways in an electric car. And now for the first time, Harris takes us down the road of his life-long obsession with the automobile, along surprising diversions, around hazards and obstructions, down the fast lane collecting Gs and back to the lock-up to prep the stock. From the six-year-old who could recite the stats from What Car?magazine to the YouTube car guru whose hones reviews got him banned by Ferrari. From Scalextric to N&uuml;rburgring. From behind his garage doors to the floodlit Top Gear studio. This is the story of a true one-off petrolhead legend. Everybody is talking about variable valve timings. Get strapped in and read on to find out why.</p>",
