Nope, just illiterate.

Bloody hell. Judging by your typing and anger issues I suspect you have spent too long in Colombia sampling the local produce.

This may have been posted already, but TG may have also used the BE11 END number plate while in Argentina

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/top-gear/11148...

I guess that pretty much removes any last doubts as to whether or not the "1982 Falklands" plate was just an unfortunate coincidence.

No, it doesn't at all.

~I am sure it was a reference to Falkirk not Falklands.
People have a fairly entrenched view point about TG and Clarkson and if you don't like him you are unlikely to give him or the show the benefit of any doubt.

How can there be this many pages on whether or not it was a coincidence or deliberate that they happened to have a Falklands-related numberplate while on tour in Argentina? Do bears s**t in woods? Of course it was deliberate!

Because they didn't have a Falklands-related number plate on the car, a bit like stty personal plates, if you squint a bit and add your own letters and numbers in it might make a reference if you were so inclined to want it to.

No - EXACTLY like stty private plates....the owner knows what they are doing, even if it does make them look a cock.

It was FKL wasn't it ? not FLK ? neither of which, have sod all to do with Falkirk. Both FK and FL plates originate in Notts ( FO and FU were never issued for obvious reasons ) So, the "offending" plate was clearly chosen for effect.

You are right in your assessment that JC polarises opinion though ... but that's exactly what he attempts to do isn't it ?

He does what he does makes his money and moves on and yet people call him an idiot a racist etc.Wonder if he loses sleep at night over being such an arse,I somehow doubt it

[Gandahar]

Shouldn't this thread be entitled Clarkson: Old fashioned guy making lots of money peddling something for longer than it's actually worth due to the dumb populace?

I can take him or leave him.He makes some funny comments and some rash one's too but he is still making a pile of money doing it. Whilst people keep on reacting to him he will keep making lots of money.
I wonder how many of those who dislike him will tune in to the Christmas Argie special

So you're basically suggesting that all Top Gear fans are dumb?

Classy, very classy.

Idolising old Porsche wheels? Burn the heretic!

[VeeDubBigBird]

H982 FKL has been registered against the Porsche since 2001, Prior to that it was the H1 VAE private plate and prior to that it was the H982 FKL since it left the production line.

So basically what we have is a genuine coincidence or a biblical amount of effort for a joke that wasn't noticed for quite some time, until the Argies are defaulting on their debt for the third time and need a convenient scape-goat.


(from the article posted above)
There are other witnesses to this fact. In fact, one of them – a mechanic we were using for the first time – has written to the Telegraph Letters page stating he saw Jeremy’s reaction and that it could have been nothing but genuine. (Weirdly, although he’s chased them, the Telegraph has so far not bothered to print his letter.)

I doubt they sought out suitable car with a reg that would offend the Argies, but more likely acquired a car and then someone thought that it would be amusing to bring to Argentina. Anyway, i think Clarkson will keep going with the same flavoured st until he fks up really big time and we will be spared him for a few years.

Of course, thats it, they built an entire show around a number plate with a dubious link to the Falklands war
