Remember the Top Gear episode from last year on the trip in Argentina? I’m watching it on BBC America right now. I guess Jeremy may still be in a bit of trouble. I’m guessing he’s never going back to Argentina.....

I’m also watching it right now. Seems like such a shame to put the Porsche and Lotus through that.

Yeah it’s really silly, but the Argentinians handling of it was classless as well. Not saying Clarkson’s classy, either, but their reaction makes me think much worse of them then I probably should.
I honestly think they’ve made a mountain out of a molehill - it’s a dumb TV show.

I still think someone involved with Top Gear saw this car somewhere and noticed the number plate. They got the car THEN created the trip to Argentina.

The motormouth presenter sparked anger last year after driving through Argentina on a 1,400-mile road trip for a Top Gear Christmas special in a red Porsche with the number plate H982 FKL on it.
Below that paragraph is a picture of the “red” porsche.

On topic: I don’t understand why people want to make a huge fuss over this. I mean it was a year ago, it happened, its time to get over it and let it be the past.

“An Argentine politician also claimed that the digits 269 on the number plate of the Ford Mustang Richard Hammond drove were close to the 255 Britons killed during the war -”

Also, someone at The Telegraph is a fuckup:
“The motormouth presenter sparked anger last year after driving through Argentina on a 1,400-mile road trip for a Top Gear Christmas special in a red Porsche with the number plate H982 FKL on it.”
Ah yes, the world-famous red color for Porsches,

Postscript:
Oh, will you look at that. That’s the plate that was issued to that car in 1991 when it was first registered. It sure was wily of Clarkson to pull strings in the UK vehicle registration system to make sure that car got that plate issued to it 23 years before the BBC would buy it used for him to film a show in your country.
I was able to find that information in 30 seconds, you incompetent clutterfucks. So shut the fuck up about them choosing the plate deliberately. The only thing that chose that plate deliberately was the British government. I’d suggest you take it up with them but they already beat your whiny asses at the Fauklands in 1982.
In closing, please go deepthroat a cactus.

That’s not a bad hypothesis. It would not surprise me. Can anyone find out when it was registered to the BBC?

I’m pretty sure that screenshot doesn’t prove anything other than that the car had the plate for some time. But there’s plenty of other proof.
Not that it matters, because the most ridiculous thing about this whole story is that in the UK we do it the other way around, making words from numbers, not numbers from letters.

I’m assuming they’ve already prosecuted the people who assaulted the Top Gear crew, if they’re getting down to a license plate infraction.

As I understand it, in the UK the plate stays with the car (the opposite of here in WI, where the plate stays with the owner). So it stands to reason that that Porsche was issued that plate when it was new and wore it until the day the Argentinians murdered it.

No, the plate normally stays with the car, but you can replace it with a ‘personal’ registration. You can’t be sure from that screenshot what the original reg was, but in practice the publicly available data doesn’t seem to be updated with reg changes much, if at all, so it probably means the car’s had the numberplate quite a while at least.

This whole Argentina controversy reinforced two points of the modern world that I already believed in.
1: Anything and everything, no matter how small, insignificant, irrelevant, or unnecessary. Is going to be taken as offensive by certain people (deliberately in some cases)
2: If anyone is willing to commit serious bodily harm or destruction of property in order to fight an “Injustice”. Those people have no moral high ground to stand on.

I refer you to my first comment above :)
I was just pointing out that lots of people mistakenly thought that website proved something that it didn’t - although that thing was true, and was proven other ways.
As for Argentina, it’s a real shame what their governments have done to them over the years. Most Argentinians are perfectly nice people.

It’s kind of funny, just off hand I’ve had people from Chile and Brazil both remark about how rude people in Argentina are.
