Some trivia: The Falklands have never formally been part of Argentina and Argentinians never settled on the islands. The Brits have had settlements on the islands since the 1830s.
And some dictator that wanted to look big tried to invade it and failed massively.
@@Kl0zi9999not that he failed 90% of the army from argentina were conscripts with little training and lower supplies than the British they surrendered as that 90% weren’t battle ready they were used as defensive units as they couldn’t charge the brits so they surrendered to the brits which the brits allowed full honours of a speech and the national anthem to be sung argentina is still abit salty about that
In other words 'the Falklands belong to the U.K'.
It was because of the licence plate on Jeremy's car. They said he's put on the number plate H982 FKL and it refers to the Falkland war of 1982... It may look like that but you cant just fake number plates. That Porsche was sold as new with those plates on it. It's never been changed and there's a load of public viewable documentation on many official websites.
But numbers can be transferred, and cars can be chosen for their plates.
@@Bazroshanthey proved it original.
And they also had an outsourcer get the cars, they didn't actually chose it
Come on man "Mustang is an American car, right?" For crying in the mud.
Can understand why those veterans started rioting - not much else to do in a failed state like Argentina.
there is no denying with the trio that the best material is not the cars but the things they get up to on their road trips and challenges
Definitely, it was one of, if not THE, most watched show on television and I think most of the viewers didn't care about cars.
The best part of their shows was the chemistry, they have such a unique chemistry and all play their roles so well. Clarkson being a bumbling orangutan, May being the more interesting and intelligent and Hammond being the butt of the jokes and always being upside down or on fire, the jokes and pranks and conversations are what made them iconic, not their knowledge of how carburettors work.
It reminds me of how someone described professional wrestling. "Professional wrestling is not professional wrestling, it is a TV show about a professional wrestling show". Top Gear is not a car show, it is actually a show ABOUT a car show. Mostly about the utter morons trying to make it while they inevitably screw everything up.
Please watch the Top Gear Ground Force Comic relief sketch, it's one of the funniest things they did
It’s definitely the best.
He wouldn't get it
@@1IbramGaunt yeah he wouldn't understand many of the jokes in it
Look what you've done to my BLOODY SHED MAN
That was sacrilege destroying that beautiful Lotus. It looked immaculate.
Destroyed lotus... isnt that the literal goal when buying one? Cant think of any other reason to pick it
Speaks a person who has never driven one.
@@Steve-lb2gm yeah maybe youre right. Having said that i have owned one. Funnily enough i never got to drive it. Wonder why
You need to watch something specifically about that whole fiasco with Top Gear, Clarkson's number plate and the Argentines
You so need to do a video of Clarkson's Farm.
Also mentioned, clarksons farm Didley Squat, is a pure genious bit of TV, clarkson at his best, Ruuning a farm, with bit of top gear type of humour, but a real farm and farm shop, battling the council, planning, ,
sadly and this is true, not made up the people of Argentina thought Jeremy's car license plate H982 FKL was a seen as a reference to the Falklands War which was apparently a pure coincidence and took offence
It is true, the idea of the show, was the road trip to agentina, to play a football game in cars, ass said the license plate, was a total accident, it came with car and no one noticed, the argentinians took offence, they had to have police escort to escape, they went through one bad set of protesters, who really beat the convoy up with bricks and stones, breaking windows, as they got further along, things got more dangerous, and there was a crowd ahead of over 300 protesters, they left the 3 cars behind, left the police convoy and diverted across a river in to Chilli i think it was.
@@seanmc1351there's no way that wasn't a dig. Of course it meant 1982 Falklands
@@theapavlou3030 Definitely wasn't. You sound like the sort of conspiracy theorist who likes to make things up.
That plate was on the car since new.... it wasn't changed or altered. The idea that they deliberately chose the plate to take a pop is ridiculous.
@thefiestaguy8831 I'm a big fan of Clarkson & Co and we all know how much he likes to inflame a sensitive situation. You're a bit green if you believe that. Keep your assessment of my character to yourself. Nobody gives an eff 😂
@@theapavlou3030 Theres tons of videos about it. They never changed the plates. It came with the car. They probably noticed it some time before the show was recorded because they had extra plates for the car. But i think they have extra plates for all cars during every recording they do, just in case. But we do know there was no intention and just a coincidence.
All 3 cars where abandoned in Argentina? What I shame. That Lotus was beautiful at the start of the program, dread to think how it ended up :-\
This was so controversial when it came out, all because of a number plate - - - - which was a surprise, as Argies well don't speak our language, so why did they think it referred to Falklands???? Couple of facts about their country..... safe refuge for war criminals, angel of death (Mengele) lived there, so did Eichmann, before the Israelis "abducted" him, and they have a town there that has been made "to make Germans feel at home"
Yeah that protest was real. You may have noticed Clarksons car plate being H982 FKL, (1982 FalKLands, the year of the war), just as an extra dig at those Nazi sympathising sore losers. There was and still is a strong anti-English sentiment in the south of Argentina, people who lost friends or were injured when they invaded a British territory so Clarkson, a very nationalist British TV presenter, publicly visiting them for a 'car football' match is basically like George Dubya Bush going to play a volleyball tournament in Fallujah. They were not welcome and that mob are not paid actors.
the plate was a complete coincidence and came with the car.
@@The_Le_Page_Workshop nah
@@lukespooky It has been confirmed, trying to arrange it to happen would've already left trails. It came with the car, no one just thought to check.
@@lukespooky It was one of only two 928s for sale in the UK at the time, and was chosen because it was considered the better car. It's an H reg, which is correct for a car made in 1990/1991, and DVLA records confirm H982FKL was its original plate, registered in May 1991.
@@lukespooky It actually did come with the car. Nothing was changed or faked.... contrary to what all the conspiracy theorists want to believe.
The salty Argentinians can cry some more.... us Brits don't go to Germany and start getting upset that they bombed us during the war. The germans don't come to the UK and "poke fun" as you've suggested the British did here.... we understand that at one point the British and the Germans were against each other many years ago. Now they are at peace with each other and have been for a very long time.
I haven't been to Germany but I wouldn't feel in the least bit afraid of going there - considering they surrendered to us in the war you might think I should be.
By contrast I have no intention of ever going to Argentina, especially not if some upset salty mob is going to try and kill me or pelt me with rocks because of the actions of people that I wasn't even around to see.
The Germans can move on, the Argentinians cannot.
That episode was for Hammond ( or is it Clarkson ) the most dangerous trip they have ever made.
7:05 it's a licence production and adaptation to the south american market ( Chilean and argentinian mostly ) of a Citroen 2cv called Citroneta .
There was even a pick up version (rare ).
That episode didn't gave a good lasting image of Argentina in at least 150 countries. In 2016 Clarkson tweeted "Happy Christmas to everyone. Except the Tierra Del Fuego people of Argentina. You lot can sod off." This came after an incident where Clarkson missed an airline flight in Stuttgart, Germany, which he claimed was caused by an airline worker purposefully impeding him, stating “I’m from Argentina, so fuck you.”
F.I.A.T = Fix It Again Tom !!
CHILAY !? We say CHILLY. ( CHILE ).
Argies still some sore losers, why I love mocking the heck out of them online. General Belgrano memes gets them going pretty fast.
Just realised the reference to 'Butch cassidy and sundance kid' - looking through binoculars at the 2cv and asking 'what the hell is that?' - just like the man in the white hat, seen in the distance, tracking Butch and S'dance 'Who IS that guy?' Lord Baltimore?
To understand the last clips they released 2 parts you can watch.
Just a little thing but I noticed how you said Chile, In England we pronounce it the same as the word 'chilly'. :)
Useless bit of info but its the first time i heard anyone from over the pond say the word, was a bit weird for me hearing it said like that lol.
also a very good one, but cant find in on here is when they did the polar challenge, hammond on dog sled and Mr slow clarkson in wheel drive, race to the pole, i wont say any more incase anyone finds and wants to watch the race
I want to go to Patagonia now. It's beautiful 😮
But full of argentinians.
@@olivierdk2 With a few thousand Welsh descendants to go with them
5:50 "Cocking Nora!"
You'll never get the Falklands 🇬🇧
The argies weren't that brave during the war 😂
No, as a Brit please rephrase that, the shit commanders were not brave. They were damm negligent, to the cusp of them being charged for war crimes.
Some of the most beautiful scenery in the world are in Patagonia. Apparently also some of the dullest.
The issue was with Jeremy’s license plate…1982 war with Argentina over the (FKL) Falkland Islands (Ascension Islands in Argentina) basically our Jezza rubbed the 1982 victory of Britain over Argentina for possession of the falklands is a sore point for those Argentinians
The Argentinians call them the Malvinas the ascension islands are in the mid Atlantic ocean about 1/3 way between Africa and South America
We have later have confirmation that it truly was a fluke, a co-incidence of miraculous proportions. The producing team bought the cars and just didn't even think to check the plates.
Dear Mr. McJibbin. It's been 12 long days. Could we have another Yes Minister reaction? Ep. 3 would be very funny, very funny indeed.
Love the content! Would you react to Eurovision? The final’s tomorrow
DO HONEY BADGER AUSTRALIA
Seriously, #### Argentina
Dude... a zilion people told you bout the Patagonia episode and what happend in it in the comments on pretty much every TG/TGT vid you have watched.
I don't think he reads all the comments though and he forgets a lot of stuff even from what he HAS seen
@@1IbramGaunt sure fair enough but that's why I used the word 'zilion' and seeing he's a TG/TGT fan you'd think a story like this one would stick with ya, but he seemed totally surprissed which I found odd.
Hi, try and see the whole thing , I think the best special ie the one where they nearly got murdered. Regards JH
And thats why yoy can speak British in Argentina
Jeremy's licence plate was H982 FLK 1982 was the Falklands war
Pure coincidence and has been proven many times.
@@thefiestaguy8831 It can't be, you really believe that?
@@StevenQ74 Do your own research instead of blindly believing what you are told.... a car of that age would be registered on a H plate. The format of plates back then was a letter to denote the year, followed by three random numbers and three random letters.
Plates now have two letters to denote the registry office where they are registered, immediately followed by two numbers to denote the year, followed by three random characters.
If he wanted a Porsche of that particular make and model.... the options are extremely limited. James may debunked the theory on Absolute radio many years ago... seen here
th-cam.com/video/4Rkw_N9pNms/w-d-xo.html
You have to be a conspiracy theorist to still think the whole thing was deliberate when you can clearly see the other two vehicles all follow the same registration format.
How can you send recommendations
Hello 👋
Yeah let's head to a country we were at war with 30 years ago,
eliminated it's navy,
embarrassed their army
crushed it's pride
aaand bust their balls a bit by adding a number plate refering to our glorious victory over them.
What could possibly go wrong?...
You mean head to a country which invaded British territory to score cheap political points,
try to make a fun TV show episode only to be attacked by whining babies who can't accept that they were never going to be a match for even a semi-competent military
I honestly wish more Vietnamese folk went to America with "our farmers were better than your army" painted on their cars but 1)they prefer bikes, less space to write on, and 2) Vietnamese people probably rightfully view America as a shit place so why would they ever go there
"adding a number plate" except they didn't ADD OR CHANGE the number plate at all - it literally came attached to that car.
The car was registered on that plate from brand new.... the only way to change is to go through the process of re-registering the car to a different plate which is completely pointless and means filling out forms.... why would you do that if you really didn't need to?
@@thefiestaguy8831 or can it be they picked the car brcause of it's very peculiar and specific number plates?....
@@laziojohnny79 Did you watch the video?
Jeremy wanted a Porsche 928 GT in manual, of which there was 2 available.... one allegedly in much better condition.
If you even bothered to watch or look at the trip they did, all of the cars they had were quite rare, as such not many to choose from.
Also it was a Patagonia special, which is "Argentina AND Chile" not just Argentina.
