Why is Tiff Needell leaving Fifth Gear?! Tiff Talks #8 Q&A
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
"Tiff Talks" is now on Patreon ( / lovecarstv ) but for this exclusive interview, we wanted to share Tiff's side to the whole Fifth Gear story, plus lots lots more.
With the recent news that Tiff Needell will no longer be featured on the long running "Fifth Gear" motoring program, we turned to Twitter and Instagram to get your questions. We touch on a wide variety of topics, from Tiff's perspective on Fifth Gear's decision to no longer use him, to his thoughts on Top Gear, Chris Harris, and what colour his socks are.
The good news is, with Tiff's departure from Fifth Gear, he will now be doing more with Lovecars, and we have been working behind the scenes on an exciting new project, a teaser of which can be seen at the end of this video.
Further detasils on this story can be found lovecars.com/watch-tiff-neede...

Tiff, Vicky, and Jason are as iconic as Jeremy, James, and Richard. Without them, their former shows simply aren't worth the time.
Fifth gear won’t be the same without Tiff. This is a growing channel with really good content the sky is the limit
Tiff, team up with Ed China, do a series where you travel around the world doing as many diffrent entry level motorsports. Ed finds and preps the cars and you drive them.

Agreed 100%! How about a new car show with Chris Harris, Henry Catchpole and Tiff? If they even teamed up together on you tube, it would be unbeatable. Even separately, they’re unbeatable.
Can’t believe they did that to Tiff. In solidarity, I will no long be watching 5th gear. Best of luck Tiff!!
The car report originals, Mr clarkson and now Mr needell, chased off mainstream TV, those TV companies don't care about loyalty and it will cost them deeply, top gear has stalled, fifth gear, just doing its thing. True success is greater off mainstream TV, Mr needell, keep enjoying yourself and stay true to yourself, your family and to all things, people and hobbies you love, great work and people I truly are timeless

I've grown up with Tiff driving cars. Nothing to do with cars is better off without him.
Tiff is my favorite car reviewer. I’ll follow you wherever you go. Thank you for doing what you do for the industry.
Fifth Gear is now off my watch list. - Good luck Tiff you are a legend!
Imagine Tiff joining The Grand Tour that would be legendary!!
Tiff Needell is my favourite, I am watching him since my childhood, I am his big fan. I loved that this guy is giving him the respect he deserves.
Its been a blast following you over the years. End of an era but to new things :)
I love Tiff
I remember watching the VHS of Top Gear Fast and Furious where Tiff tested the McLaren F1. Such an iconic test. I for one won’t be watching Fifth Gear without Tiff, his skill is unmatched. Glad he’s found a new home here
Stopped watching Top gear after the trio left , and now I will stop watching fifth gear after Tiff is gone. Thank God we have you on KZread .
Imagine a channel with all the legendary automotive journalists.

Kind of the equivalent to Edd that left Wheeler Dealers. Both, this show and Fifth Gear came on the same channel and I always woke up every week to watch both one after the other on the day a new episode came. Such epicness, fun and passion from both shows and both presenters. 👌 👏
The only reason why I watched fifth gear because of Tiff
Noodles whatever you do we love your content with Paul. You both are a great duo. Please take this channel to new heights. Let’s have Drivetribe and Lovecars the most TV like Car Content Producers with well known names
Needles was the best thing about fifth gear and seeing the other presenters reactions to his crazy antics was epic. The man is a legend and shame on them for not having him in the new series.
I really enjoy watching the Lovecars channel. Can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us!
Tiff, you gave me an interest in cars and English. You in Fifth Gear were part of my childhood memories. Thank you for all the things you made.
Tiff's such a legend and one of the best drivers too, still remember watching top gear many moons ago with tiff drifting a Porsche long before drifting was a thing in the west
I love to watch Tiff drive the car, especially the way he manhandles the steering wheel. Tiff is all over that steering wheel, turning right and then left and then right and then back again, as the car seems to careen almost out of control at high speed. I do like to watch him drive and also the way he uses his hands to describe how the car handles. Brilliant.
Fantastic Films folks, and well presented. Keep up the good work. As with all those below, the audience will follow Tiff whereever he goes!!!
Tiff is hero in these circles. It’s like watching Mufasa falling off the cliff hearing that Tiff has been axed off Fifth Gear. Love the new videos you are creating here. No silly insincere/fake scripts just what we want to see the cars and great personalities. Keep up the great work 👌👍

Great to watch guys and looking forward to the upcoming content ;)
Being from the US, Tiff has been my favorite auto reviewer since I first discovered him on KZread more than a decade ago. He's got Matt Farah's ability to describe but with racing driver skills. I am very excited to see what comes next.
Paul, thank you for the update young man!
I've been watching Tiff for 20 years or more. Hope to see more in the future..... Thanks bros
I grown up watching your reviews only, your are my super hero even now also, there is no one can explain the things as you do... Keep rocking Tiff, we are with you always...
Tiff is a personal motoring hero to me. I really dove back into to my love of Sports cars on the strength of Fifth Gear, the Original UK Wheeler Dealers and even Car S.O.S. All of that great programming bled over here to the states and really ignited a passion in me. Unfortunately, times have changed, motoring television is a shadow of itself.
Just subscribed, have always loved Tiff videos and am looking forward to more content, having enjoyed some of your previous recent videos.

Hello Tiff, I’ve always been watching you since you started and all I have to say is you’re by far the best automotive journalist and will always keep supporting you and looking forward to your videos and just had to say, looking sharp like always mate. Take care
IMO Tiff is the best of the best when it comes to cars, driving, racing. He has a wealth of knowledge and real life practical experience coupled with genuinely innate intuitive talent. When anything motoring is being presented by Tiff you know you are getting an authoritative informed view point based upon real in depth knowledge. A younger presenter with a winning smile just doesn’t cut it. To gear heads experience is everything if an opinion expressed is to carry any weight at all. Looking forward to your next chapter Tiff 👍
Hey guys I love your channel. Huge shout out from Jamaica. I grew up watching Tiff, he and Clarkson are my favourite automotive journalist. Nothing between them. Tiff's amazing car control and analysis has always been superlative. May you continue to make these amazing videos for as long as you have life,😉
Firstly I'd like to apologise for losing track of watching 5th gear many years ago. Shame on me, I must have missed some good quality shows. I lost heart with Motoring programmes when Top Gear became more of a comedy show than a car review show and just stopped watching them. For some reason, this year, I've got into KZread. So many fascinating things to watch. And now, because Tiff being ousted from 5th Gear was in the news I've discovered "Lovecars". Whoopee! This has been the first video I've watched and I love Tiff. Your views on what a car is about is spot on. Can hardly wait to see what you all produce. Thank you thank you.
