Watch Chris Harris Wrestle A Ferrari 458 Spider. Sideways

Chris Harris is a pull-no-punches motoring journalist. In 2011 he accused Ferrari of foul play, outing the manufacturer's superhuman press cars as wholly unrepresentative of the models offered in Ferrari dealerships. Here's a little taster of what Harris had to say on the subject:

Ferrari will never admit that its press cars are tuned, but has the gall to turn up at any of the big European magazines' end-of-year-shindig-tests with two cars. One for straight line work, the other for handling exercises. The whole thing stinks.

How fucking paranoid do you have to be to put even stickier rubber on a Scuderia? It's like John Holmes having an extra two inches grafted onto his dick.

I couldn't care if I never drive a new Ferrari again, if it means I never have to deal with the insane communication machine and continue lying about the lengths to which Ferrari will bend any rule to get what it wants. Which is just as well, because I don't think I'm going to be invited back to Maranello any time soon.

And guess what, Chris Harris (aka Monkey) was right. Ferrari was pissed and banned Harris from driving any of its cars ever again.

Good job then that Monkey was given the keys to this model via a third party. Watch above as the good man takes this 458 Spider by the scruff of the neck in the ultimate 458 video we've all been waiting for.
