Top Gear at it again?

So the TG crew are in trouble again for driving around Argentina in a Porsche with the number plate: H982 FKL
Army veterans and politicians say it references the 1982 war
BBC said just a coincidence

Knowing their history seems a bit close to me

Thoughts?

Used to love the programme, but think it has missed its way recently - can take it or leave it now
 
The Argies were moaning about the other plates two as they reckon they were referring to the number of casualties, although they were 3 or 4 digits out.
 
That plate is registered to a taxed and MOT'd Porsche - seems unlikely given their history but could be a weird coincidence

Not the remotest chance. Jessa is a war history nut. No way it was a coincidence. :roll:

Someone at the Beeb will have a nice welocme home speech ready.

As for Top Gear in General. :tumbleweed:
 
Mmmm seems a bit tentative to me surely H982 FKL does not scream out any reference 1982 or the Falklands conflict unless you are a brain dead tit. It's a P155 ING number plate you T055 ERS for CHR 15T5 sake!

Surely this would be way too subtle for Clarkson anyway?
 
Well either someone has had the car in hiding for this or they had to do some right trawling of cars for sale to find it. Or they contacted the DVLA to find the owner of this car (not legal I believe) and paid over the odds for the car in question.

But Top Gear is Sh!t these days. When the 60 year old woman at your work who can't get your live of cars and who has no interest in cars thinks it's a great show, it's clearly no longer a show worth watching. Bring back the old days when it was actually about reviewing cars!

Yeah it should go back to the grass roots and the good old days when we found out the new Ford Mondeo has slightly changed its rear light cluster on the facelift. Awesome stuff.!! Watching the new P1 going sideways is just boring and childish. I want to know what car wax they used instead :rofl: :rofl: :poke:
 
I don't understand - how can anyone think that Clarkson would be in any way confrontational or inflammatory for the sake of a TV show? He had no history of such things, he's a serious journalist renowned for his integrity. Besides how can H982 FKL be of any relevance to the H982 FalKLand's War? The Mexicans...sorry...Argentineans are clearly over reacting to an unfortunate coincidence. If Auntie says she's innocent, innocent she must be...
 
Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was staged. Needs something far fetched to reignite the failing show.
 
Who gives a sh*t? Seriously, its just a tv programme and in the grand scheme of things, your £0.10 from the license fee that goes towards making this show is at least providing something ad free. Maybe youd all rather watch Storage Hunters or X Factor.

Bleating about the license fee really winds me up. Get rid of it and people would soon start complaining about ad breaks and the amount of cheap content being shown.

Ultimately who really cares that a motoring show on Sunday nights isnt reviewing the latest hazard warning light system. Get a grip people, its entertainment!
 
Agree its only light entertainment and I never take their car reviews seriously any more so just watch it for the laughs and Clarkson making an idiot of himself.

+1 on wheeler dealers mentioned earlier although Mike Brewer is an acquired taste but find its a great watch if your into bringing motors back to life.

Tim.
