Default Does any one else hate Tom Ford?

this is one of the guys from 5th gear (with the long hair) i don't know what it is about him, but i hate him, 5th gear might have tiff but top gear is better because it doesn't have Tom Ford!

You just hate him? No reason at all?

Tom Ford isn't that bad. His writing for CAR is ok.

Toronto,

what has Tom ever done to you personally so that you ' hate' him so much
Nothing wrong with the guy from where I'm standing. As a matter of fact I quite like the way he reviews cars on 5th Gear :fadein:
And even when you don't like him it would be good to have him on the programs because in that case Tiff and Vix will be able to distinguish themselves even more

Well Toronto,

what's stopping you
If you visit their website you'll see that 5thGear is looking for "researchers"
qte...
Researchers wanted
We're expanding the Fifth Gear production team and are looking for new Researchers to join our production team. We want people, who love cars, have an opinion about them and who can communicate that passion. To apply send your CV and on an A4 sheet outline three stories you'd like see to:

Fifth Gear Researchers
P.O. Box 9440
London
N1 9WY

Closing date is 31st January 2004. Positions will be based in Birmingham and the contract length is subject to negotiation.

...unqte

If Tom is really as crap as you say he is it would be no problem for you to take his place in due time :fadein:

I don't like him either. I agree his writing for CAR is alright, but I hate the way he does 5th Gear. IMO he's trying way too hard to be funny and cool.

I like Tom Ford. He's pretty original. One of his better reviews was the Mini Cooper S IMO when he explained the difference between a supercharger & a turbo by using some every day stuff!

I dunno, the guy's original... but I don't know if I think his "original" personality is particularly interesting/entertaining (except the BMW hood thing, that was pretty amusing). He's not particularly offensive to watch, but doesn't really make me want to watch him either. I guess I'm indifferent.
