Top Gear's Chris Harris issues public apology after 'rolling' car into stranger's Ferrari

The Top Gear host, 46, was forced to make a candid confession to his fans after he suffered an incident with his Ferrari. He wrote a public apology to the fellow motorist on his Twitter account, where he gathered more than 300,000 followers.

The BBC star wrote: “To the very polite man who stopped to chat this morning as I wrangled with the glass on my s*** old Ferrari’s wing mirror, sorry for letting it roll back into your Boxster.”

Along with the message, he humorously wrote “whoops” after a hashtag.

Harris’ fans replied to his tweet poking fun at him.

One user wrote: “Note to self: Do NOT park either end of anything Harris happens to be driving.”

He recently spoke out about the Government’s stance on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars.

The journalist warned the Government wants to see cars and other personal vehicles “gone” in favour of public transport.

He described these views as a “bleak” forecast.

Harris tweeted: “Think any government minister who points out that electric cars really only work for rich people who do short journeys, or don’t need the infinite flexibility of an ICE is probably telling the truth.

“However unpalatable it may be.

“Because I’m a cynic, I think government just wants personal transportation of any type gone.

“Let us squabble over electric/hydrogen/kale/whatever.

“In reality, get people living in cities, using public transport, end of.
