Chief Engineer of an US company I worked with on a project 4 years ago had the ultimate (from my viewpoint).
In New York there is no pattern requirement for the reg plate so his little BMW soft top just had "RADAR".

A nav on my German HARM-shooter sqn (near Augsburg, if you know the german reg system) had A GM 88 on her Porsche!
But then in Germany it only costs €30 to have whatever you want on your number plate....

It's interesting to see that Argentina will be playing a friendly match with Portugal at Old Trafford on the 18th November. I hope they don't try to get their own back and display a similar banner to the one they did before the recent world cup.
I'm not even sure it was intentional. He and the BBC both claim it wasn't. Most Argentineans probably wouldn't even recognise the letters as anything to do with what they the Malinas. Until someone pointed out a flimsy reason to get all up themselves again. More like they're having a go.
come to mention, yes.
I once had a ride in it. Just once.

I can't see what all the fuss is about. All you have to do to upset the Argentinian government is to send a nice new destroyer to the islands for a few months, to run it in. Oh, and a Prince, in a helicopter.

This is the Topgear episode mentioned by the original poster. Very entertaining it is too...

The C130 NAV is now a wg cdr - and still sporting the numberplate on her imported Mustang convertible!

Another Missed Opportunity.
Came home from RAF(G) in '62 with 87 EXT on. Before that had black and white plastic LP 97 B. Below that was sprayed (silver figures on dusty pink background) population of China ending "-75" (yes, I know that means Paris).
Didn't keep the 87 EXT. Didn't buy a batch of Spitfires when they were going for a song. Never did have any sense.

Sorry mate but I have to disagree. I lasted 10 minutes and it was complete tosh.
Strange how in all the other 'specials' I've seen, they buy cars in country, yet this time they take them out with them.
The only good thing was at long last, May has had a haircut!

A pretty dire episode and I suspect many will only watch part 2 tonight due to the promised fireworks. The best bit of telly last night was the feature on Guy Martin where he fired up his Rolls Royce Merlin in a field and recounted the time he gave it too much welly, causing it to break free and demolish a chunk of his bosses workshop!

It was probably paced more slowly to give some editorial context for the onslaught tonight. It has been blanded down for so long now I wonder if it ever was as feisty and as hardcore as we might like to imagine it once ever was.
Clarkson's tale about racing home up the M1 in a 928 to see his dad before he died made him either more endearing or confirmed his inane sense of indifference to everyone else and his sheer irresponsibility, I'm not sure. I like to think the former. Either way, a good tale.
Long may TG continue to needle and annoy the outraged. And Clarkson, Farage.. what is it about middle aged, middle class white blokes that divides us so much?

I agree with sitigeltfel - it was rather a bland, repetitive programme. Driving performance cars, such as the ones in the programme, across various unsuitable roads, plus a repeat of the 'cow on the roof' jape and a general dislike of camping didn't make much of a programme.
These Top Gear 'specials' seem to be running out of ideas. Hopefully part 2 will be better, but I'd sooner that they'd spent the money on more editions of the traditional programme, perhaps with one of their 'thing v. car' races or project challenges?
