    Tom Ford | Top Gear Magazine

    Tom Ford, Associate Editor for Top Gear Magazine, has carved out a unique space within the motoring world. With his career spanning from TV shows like Fifth Gear and Top Gear America to his current role at Top Gear Magazine, Tom has always pursued the unconventional. Known for his adventures with everyday vehicles on extraordinary journeys, he combines his passion for storytelling with a love for car culture, from supercars to small hatchbacks. In this episode of Car Chat, Tom shares his transition from supercar fanatic to someone more enamored with the people and stories in car culture. He talks about taking a humble Kia Picanto down some of France’s narrowest roads and navigating icy Swedish landscapes in sports cars ill-suited for the conditions. Tom's approach to road trips, whether in rugged vehicles or unexpected places, reflects his belief that the best journeys aren’t about the cars themselves but the experiences and stories they create. https://www.instagram.com/tomwookieford/ https://www.topgear.com/car-news/tom-ford Show Notes: Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Tom Ford and His Journey 02:48 The Joy of Car Culture and Adventure 06:02 The Difference Between Driving and Road Tripping 08:55 Memorable Road Trips and Experiences 11:49 Getting Started in Automotive Journalism 15:07 The Evolution of Automotive Journalism 17:59 The Impact of Time on Car Reviews 20:53 Resto Mods and Unique Car Projects 23:51 Exploring Car Culture in Japan and China 33:26 Embracing the Slow Life in Cars 37:18 The Impact of Injury on Driving 41:42 The Intersection of Wealth and Car Collections 45:35 The Personal Connection to Cars 50:52 The Evolution of Performance Cars 54:15 The Joy of Driving Unique Cars 01:00:53 Reflections on Car Ownership and Identity 01:07:40 The Skoda Yeti: A Personal Favorite 01:14:23 The Evolution of Electric Vehicles 01:25:00 Exploring the World of Camper Vans 01:39:25 Dream Garage: The Ultimate Car Collection Hosted on Acast.
