That would certainly upset the French, although I don't think anyone would notice.
The Russians probably didn't know The Nazis had been beaten for several decades in case they wanted to experience some of what the decadent capitalists had been experiencing, you know the kind of thing, Porsches and holidays to Argentina.
In fairness if Clarkson had done his research....then he could have bought a car with H982MLV on the plates as the Falklands conflict took place in 1982, not '86. Also I have to say: who made the connection with The Malvinas if the plates referred to The Falklands? I'd be interested to know how many Brits would have spotted the letters MLV on a Spanish registered car or even an Argentinian one, and made the connection to the Falklands. This begs the question: How many Spanish speakers would have linked a British plate reading FLK and thought: Mmm, I wonder if that applies to Las MalvinasShame Clarkson didn't do his research....then he could of bought a car with H986MLV instead...that way they might have spotted the apparent cause of offense without the joys of social media, given they don't even call the place the Falklands....of course he couldn't even get being deliberately offensive right.
Guy Martin is a very successful motorcycle racer who has presented a number of factual (type) programmes in the last few years. He's quite a likeable character who sadly has a rather irritating Yorkshire accent.
You'd have to be one of Clarkson's adenoidal car bores to like the original Top Gear. Either that or clinically insane.
he races bikes in his 'spare time' his trade is an hgv mechanic , i've met him at the I.O.M. a few years back and he's a really down to earth nice bloke
i can only hope it's true
Amen to that!
no mate he's a prick off the programme as well he's done a number of previous things before and only a jumped up , arrogant , egotistic prick would throw what basically was a tantrum like a big kid because he couldn't get what he wanted i.e. steak and chips , there's no excuse for verbal and/or physical abuse like that , if i walked into a cafe after they had stopped serving food and smacked someone in the mouth because i couldn't get what i wanted i'd be arrested for assault , so what's the difference apart from clarckson's 'fame' and money and his fan base of course
I grew up with clarkson when I used to watch him on the original top gear from the 80's/90's and he always spoke his mind when road testing car - much to the dispare of the motor manufacturers who needed the journalist to give favourable reports on new models even if they were naff. Clarkson had the balls to take them on and tell them how it was (I'll never forget when he road tested the first geniartion vectra on top gear ) so I alway admired him for that. He's also an excellent journalist and has done other shows that have been fantastic (motorworld, extreme machines, inventions that changed the world) but as the years have rolled he has been getting more and more arrogant and throwing his weight around and as pointed out above there's no excuse for punching someone over a steak and chips....... Ild get the sack if I did that so why can't he?
