Unfortunate coincidence or Jeremy's incitement for a rerun?

We're supposed to believe this is just a coincidence. Its a helluva one if it is.


Remind me, how many jets do we have available right now?


Cue one belly laugh from Putin and another Bear deployment.

Nice bit of free publicity for the new Top Gear series ;)

I think he was just 'trolling'. He was obviously pushing for a reaction, he always does!

I don't even believe he is a bigot. I think he is occasionally prejudiced to wind people up for fun.

Well, I was amused!

He was driving through Argentina whilst giving them the finger at the same time! :ok:

Juvenile publicity stunt designed to appeal to the top gear audience of chavs and associated half wits.

About time the BBC did away with them.

I understand clarkson has been on a final warning for some time. Maybe the foreign office will talk to Auntie and see this one is called in.

It must have been deliberately put about in Argentina as most people in this country would not see anything in that plate. I had to have it explained to me and still struggle to see how anyone would/could read an H as 1, and as for FCL bringing up Falklands as the first or even hundred and first association is beyond me. Theres absolutely no way at all anyone in Argentina would make anything of is, esp as they call the place by some other name.

The whole thing stinks as a deliberate attempt to kick off an international incident by a bunch of infantile and asinine hooligans. Removing their passports for a year would be a good idea.

I call, one big hoax.

I doubt many Argies would see a connection or relevance in the number plate. Especially as they know the islands as Malvinas.

Even if they did see the connection, I doubt they would have a full scale riot over it. They probably just quietly think to themselves "what a ****".

The chavs and half wits or the the Topgear team? ;)

Errrrrrrrr...........Both?

I have a car registered in Spain. The registration plate contains the numbers 3945. I suppose I dare not drive it to Germany in case it offends the Germans (1939-45).

This is utter bull****.

Already well established in the lower depths.....

Yup, TG elaborate publicity stunt as per normal.

As someone else said, JC is very good at wind ups - with a typically (if this thread is anything to go by) 90% bite success.

Anyone who takes what JC and the chaps say at face value is a bit of a retard with no sense of humour. And I've no time for the pompous halfwits who regularly harrumph for the show's cancellation.

GeeRam & Willard Whyte,
Thankyou both for your posts.
There are some pretty gullible people out there.
Harrumph!!

I can't quite believe that I actually looked, but the registration concerned is currently shown on the Motor Insurance Database as insured in respect of....
a Porsche 928.....:sad:

Cant even see the connection myself its just PR.

Just had a tour of the WW 2 tunnels in Gibraltar. Our guide was Hans. He kept cracking Hitler and SS jokes.

"If we had won I would be standing here in my black uniform with a SS on the collar"

He knew his stuff.

Maybe we should offer some Vet a job in the Malvinas to do battlefield tours.

A bit off topic but related to battlefield tours, a film thoroughly recommended is 'The Railwayman' with Colin Firth. The link is that he went back to Burma to meet and kill his Japanese torturer from during the war, who was running a 'war museum', and if I were to say any more it would be a spoiler. Definitely one of the best films I've seen for a long time.

Yes, it's the cars genuine number plate, car was 'known' within Porsche owners circles beforehand by all accounts.
