I really appreciate Jim’s candour, he loves Ford but is no corporate drone and a real enthusiast. Thank you Jodie, such a fascinating interview.

As an Essex Ford employee in product development, I see a lot of internal company interviews with Jim, but nothing like this. It was great to see how relaxed Jim was in your company, thank you Jodie!

nice to have a CEO who actually is interested/has passion in what happen. once again you killed it, thanks

Jodie I’ve said it before you should have a Chat Show on National TV, this has to be your best yet. Yes the interviewee helps and Jim was an excellent one, but your technique was excellent and showed you’d done your homework and prepared well coupled with you enthusiasm made an unforgettable episode. Well done girl!

"I ought to go in bare feet when I drive cause I like to feel the car talking to me" How more accurate and car loving can one be? Jodie, I refuse to believe that not every petrolhead on planet earth gives you the thumbs up. Thank you, you are a star!!!

Already hitting the big time on you tube with this content Jodie, well done, smashed it, never in doubt! x

Watched the video start to finish, no break, loved it........

Yet another fantastic episode, to get a main man from a world wide company to visit you and be so open is totally remarkable! He really does rate the UK work force that he has,that's great.

It's me again, the one who rarely comments, but yet again you've made me do it! What an interesting guy with a superb personal story and a natural shop window for the MachE. Thank you.

What an interesting guy. Got cars running in his bloodstream. A lot of people think of Ford being as much a British company, as American. Most have owned/driven a Ford at some time in their life and a huge number of classic examples are kept going by enthusiasts. Amazing to think the British designed Transit had such a large market share back in the day. So pleased that Ford have not sold out of UK/Europe, the way GM did with Vauxhall. Looks as though the future of Ford is in good hands.

Kidd has legs that go on forever!

Fords the 1 us company that got it right outside the states, lot of fords biggest sellers were british designed

The surprise round the back was an identical car to the one Jodie pulled up in. Right down to the reg plate!

I like that he knows what he's talking about; clearly not lived the 60's British Fords, but talks of them respecting the reverence we hold for them.

Who else but our Jodie would be able to conjure an interview, so down to earth and honest, with the head of a global car manufacturer?? Thoroughly enjoyable! Watch the glasses of water on the table; these people are so absorbed with the subject and each other, no-one stops for even a sip... Amazing. We could listen for hours. One small correction; the Transit was a huge seller in Australia too.

Afternoon Jodie what an interesting show. Jim Farley is a man for the people, he came up the proper way to be in the car business! He knows and feels how we the customer think and has the same wants and desires all of us have. Great show as always! It's always a great treat to see and hear from you , you are so well prepared to speak with your guest no matter who they are! You are a breath of fresh air and you bring sunshine to our days, make it a great evening, jw

Once again Jodie proves that she has the best and most interesting car show anywhere! Getting the CEO of Ford and showing off their history and their current cars could be seen as a long commercial but Jodie makes it just a great show for car people all over the world. As an American who does not like American cars, the Ford GT 40, Ford GT and Mustang are the best things that the US ever did in automotive history. Thanks Jodie, this was a wonderful show!

I watch a number of car related KZfaq channels. I’ve got to say given your approach to the interview process. You are now my favorite. I’m a fan. An Old car guy.

Excellent chat and such a nice guy, thank you

Jimmy Car Car passes the "would i have a pint with this guy" test in leaps and bounds.

love this kidd in a sweet shop more please

What an interesting guy. His career was certainly an Adventure into the motor industry. A a real petroleum head at that , but should I say he’s a bright spark these days with changing times! Brings back wonderful memories for me Jodie, as I once owned a Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico , AAY180K . Bought her privately from a gent in Bournville , Birmingham , painted half blue , half Diamond White. Had her 12months , as ever, a simply engineered car but so highly effective , as old Fords were in their day. Great vid once again , Jodie

Hey Jodie only just found your channel a week or so ago. Been really enjoying your videos. This one is my favourite. He is a top man and love the history of ford and there plans. I grow up in Essex and spent 40 years of my 47 in Essex. My uncle worked at Dagenham all his life. My nan use live in south ockendon just behind fords avo centre. When I was a child use get train up to see nan with my mum and we use work past ford avo. Where ford turned escorts into escort Mexico’s. And my last years in Essex was in dunton. Only a mile from fords main site where all the magic happens. Use see ford testing the cars on my road. Lower dunton road. I feel I have ford running in my blood. Had mk1 escorts. Rs’s. Amazing company. So glad to see an amazing man running the show and love to see how big part Essex has and is playing to keep ford on top there games. Thanks for this video! X

You just go from strength to strength Jodie another great interview and video. You always have the ability to interview such iconic people. Jodie that is some pub car park. 😂

Wow Jodie what a scoop and what an interesting man. Many thanks for posting. Cheers, John.

Jodi I had to watch this in the bath. Topped up many times. Amazing interview and I would class Jim as a legend

No substitute for genuine passion :)

Wow fantastic video Jodie 👏 I could listen to him all day !!!! As a CEO of Ford especially with all this electric stuff he must have alot on his plate. I love the way he looked at European cars like the Transit , Fiesta and Focus and was open to bring those ideas to the American Market. TOP LAD 👏👏

Another classic JK You are a fabulous interviewer and girl ❤️

What a coup to get that much time at a local venue with a CEO of an iconic global company. What a great watch, really enjoyed it. Well done

Great interview. Amusing that his interest in cars came from hanging around Luigi Chinetti and Company! A real car guy. Nice to see the Mexico and the GT40. Thanks Jodie and have a good new week!😎👍🇨🇦

Super video Jodie, very interesting interview and lots to learn from your pub garden........CEO of Ford, wow...... Thanks and regards

Very much enjoyed this, thanks Jody . What a nice man the CEO of Ford definitely a thumbs up 👍

Very special collection cars. There is something about the blue oval that appeals to me more than other makes.

Great video! I had a 1971 mustang convertible back in college my favorite car of all time! Cheers from the Finger Lakes!

Another brilliant interview 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Full disclosure Jodie, I thought 60 minutes with a Ford guy was going to be a slog! This turned out to be a really great episode! Very interesting, Jim's start with my hero Phil Hill right here in Santa Monica, California. Thanks!

Another insight only Jodie can bring out of a person. The genuine interest and knowledge you show is appreciated and so fresh to KZfaq. Thanks.

I love Ford, I was like 7 and I got the chance to sit in a Ford Escort in India. My dad's colleague accelerated to 90kmph, it felt like a spaceship. 1998 it was. Fast forward to 2018 my colleague bought a new Ford Freestyle. It felt amazing. Overall in India I loved the Ford Ikon 1.8

Outstanding episode! I really hope you keep making these Jodie, they are fantastic

that was an hour well spend. thanks again. xx

I sold my 74 Mexico in 1992, HUGE mistake that I truly regret! Could never afford one these days. 6 pot dash, one of the most iconic clusters of any car. Only thing I did was remove the front bumpers and put Cibie spotlights on it. Amazing car I really missed, and regretted selling it ten minutes later. Thanks for the video Jodie!

Omg the Escort gave me goosebumps.....Iconic. Thanks Jodi for the film, I'll pop in the pub over summer for a J2O and a packet of cashew's

Really enjoyed the interview. Thank you.

Jim Farley is a great car guy. He will definitely take Ford Forward. especially with EVs - I also like him due to his admiration of NIO Global.

Jim is quite the driver as well, regularly winning races in his Lola T292. Great interview Jodie, Jim is a car guy through and through.

Well done Jodie. Jim seems to be a solid fellow. I enjoyed this .

What a fabulous interview. Awesome.

Wow, such a great guy and I loved the cheeky fist pump at the end of the test drive, amazing video Jodie as always…

What a great interview. A proper petrol head, racer and engineer at the helm of an iconic brand.

Jodie Kidd, What a chick 🤪, got a pub, loves and races cars… Love these little shows you do. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Absolutely brilliant! Fords are my favourite. #lovejim 👍

Another fascinating episode, many thanks Jodie x

Thank you once again for bringing joy.

Such a great video. Jim appears to be a true car & people person. Thank you so much!

fantastic interview !! enjoyed that . thank you .

a great episode.. thank you. PS that aint no Mustang, it's a standard e.v. using the Mustang moniker for marketing purposes! I realise that things have to change.. but to use the Mustang name for an e.v? The whine of the motor will never replace the traditional sound.. The marketing team, really won this time!!

Not normally a Ford fan, but this was very interesting interview. Thanks Jodie.

The channel just gets better and better..!! Only just found the time to sit down and watch this episode... Well worth the wait.. Thank you again Jodie...xx

Another good episode a CEO that likes cars and not just figures and you choose cars and people that are interesting and it shows in the quality of the video keep up the good work Jodie 👍👍👍

This guy’s amazing. What passion for cars.

Wow, Ford went to a lot of effort bringing all those vehicles to the pub! Jim is a great guy isn't he?...a true petrolhead. Loved your pub by the way Jodie....we had lunch there a couple of weeks ago. Keep up the great interviews ☺

It’s So good, I’m not sure you’ll be able to beat this one! Thank you for creating this content, so so enjoyable.

All the best from Canada 🇨🇦!

What a truly enjoyable watch. And Jim was so open. Bravo. Love the Mach E I the Yallow. Perfect spec

Love the fact that his granddad worked at Ford. Ford’s new e-car facility is being built here in Memphis, Tennessee, in a 3,600 acre campus.

What a great interview. Was brought up with fords have always had a soft spot for them and Jim seems to coming from the same place and appreciates the classics like the escort and siera cosworths etc. But also understands the where the future is going.

I used to work at Ford of Europe and was lucky enough to watch the announcement of Jim Hackett to CEO in the same room as Farley, as he got shipped off from Europe to go and run the US. The guy was beaming from ear to ear, he knew his role for the top job was only a matter of time. Ford of Europe is a great company from the outside and do produce some market leading products in transit and Ranger, but career wise its shocking, hopefully through Jim's changes it guts all the old guard waiting for their final salary pensions, they get fresh blood in and actually push them up the company... me think's he'll be thinking about his bonus more though.

That must be one of the best films on this channel. What an interesting and seemingly grounded chap. And, as other comments have pointed out, not much in the way of either business or marketing speak.

Your videos just keep getting better and better. Your personality and interview skills always seems to bring out the soul of the child deep within the people you are with - just so relaxed and real! This was a very insightful interview. Mr. Farley is very personable and has precise intuitions - and you have to love the fact that he still has some disregard for rules when it comes to having fun. Your production quality has become exceptional. Your guests are always interesting and power players in the industry. Just superb. Well done once again. One day you're going to have to give us a complete tour of your pub - looks like a great place to hang out.

I delayed watching this as it was so long but it was my loss. Knocking it out the park Jodie!

Thank you Jodie, Jim et al. Great video. Nice to hear straight talking and common sense.

Another great video with another very interesting guy , would never own a Ford again but was good to listen to this interview, all the people you’ve spoke to have true passion as you do Regards Davy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What a dude! His passion is there for everyone to see, he’s one of “us” which is what Ford as a brand is all about, cars for the people. I’m excited to see what comes from them under his leadership. Great content as usual Jodie!

Hey Jodie, What an wonderful interview. Jim Farley is just the loveliest person. His back story including his racing history and knowledge of the brand is amazing. As for the Electric cars that Ford are now producing, this is also very interesting, even for those of us with pure petroleum in our veins.

We in the US appreciate that he brought the Fiesta here in 2010. I bought a 2011 Fiesta SE, but really wanted an ST and could not afford one at the time. I just recently purchased an ST, but was forced to get a used one because Ford quit selling "cars" in the USA. I would like to know why I can't by a new Fiesta! The Mach E is actually an electric Ford Escape crossover SUV. Ford wisely didn't call it the "Escape E" for obvious reasons! The Mach E looks nothing like a sports car or the Mach 1 Mustang from the 70's. I hope that a redesigned Mach E variant is coming that looks more like a Mustang. What I really want is an all wheel drive 350 hp Fiesta RS! Thanks Jodie, another great interview! 🙂👍

Excellent interview,really enjoyed Jim candor I can see his passion for cars will propel Ford to the top .

Great show as usual.......thanks Jodie for a highly informative and fun interview with the CEO of Ford......he really likes his job thats obvious, but what great fun you must have had......would love to see some outtakes if there were any....you both were so relaxed about the interview, brilliant as usual....👍👍👍

just discovered your channel. That was an amazing interview. Think I might have to go on a youtube binge and watch more of your videos! great job

great video Jodie, loved the comment about the bank jobs and how the transit was so popular with criminals. he had great knowledge of the different markets around the whole world, cheers for that

What an amazing and likable CEO Jim is - another great episode Jodie - must have felt strange driving the top boss of Ford worldwide around UK country lanes :-)

Fantastic interview. Hit it out of the park again Jodie. What is next??? Can’t wait 👏👏👏. Congratulations 🥂🥂🥂

Well prepared, well presented, 10,000 foot overview from a down to earth industry visionary and futurist. Terrific interview. You go girl!! Keep up the good work

Awesome. What a great guy! 😃💥

Im happy i discovered your channel ...your level of access is so cool ...so you show us things or people that are very hard to get to

Great interview and production, well done team for another very entertaining show.

That’s a big glass of Gin Jodie!!! Great interview, well done.

'This was kind of based on the Escort' .......the only part that made me do my usual old man groan. A great film, he clearly is an enthusiast, refreshing

Nice interview, unexpected, but interesting and a great guest, who knew (not me) 👍 A big turning point in the auto industry, needs good people with big ideas and big balls.

Darn itJodie. I thought CEOs weren't supposed to be likeable!

Very cool! Let’s Go for more car company COE’s 👍

There's an historic value in the 50'11" freeze frame

My first car was a Ford escort mk2 1300L bronze brown colour with a black vinyl roof..also had 2 transit vans.... another great video.

I’m from UK, and the American friends I have are always astounded when I tell them the average mpg I get from my car (Volvo). At around the 13:30 mark, he explains that he basically saved Ford Motor Company, by selling Americans, European cars and vans. Think about that? Up to that point, what were the design and marketing people getting paid for at that company? Ford were effectively building cars, that their customers didn’t really want. They had been doing that for so long, that they had driven the company to the point of bankruptcy, BUT WERE ALREADY MAKING A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL RANGE OF VEHICLES in Europe, that US customers weren’t aware existed, but suited their needs perfectly? I suppose America is a strange place?

Very enjoyable! Love the whole down to earth vibe 🙂👍

Their is a "kindness gene" in the Farley Family. Missing in so many other CEOs.

That Mustang looks like it's feeling every single bump in the road.

Based on his reaction I don't think Jim knew Jodes' racing background during that drive!

Fascinating as are all your interviews. Shame that we don't get a full sized Raptor in the UK and only the Ranger. As for the Transit. I remember the old TG boys doing a story on the history of the Trannie, and that Bank Robber statistic was in that. Keep up the great content.

Having watched Kidd in a Sweet Shop episodes recently I find myself wondering why this type of programme isn't on main stream tv - Jodie meets people with super interesting lives but with that shared passion for motor vehicles and as she interviews creates a great rapport with her guests - I would love to sit down over a glass of something and chat with her about pretty much anything - seemingly a very interesting woman without any falseness. I could watch for hours.
