Top gear special predictions!
I predict;
Jezza will want to take a shortcut which ends up being anything but!
Hammond will keep driving into the back of May blaming his poor brakes!
May will take the lead and get them lost!
One or 2 of them will spend the nights awake due to loud snoring!
Anything I've missed? Other than them getting chased out of the country? I'll still be watching

I normally like topgear even if it is a bit daft at times, but i thought this one was a bit rubbish. The same script, 3 cars, ones always a lemon (or
made to be for the show...) deliberately taken on roads/surfaces to break them or get stuck. Just how many gears did Hamond's car have to start
with, he kept loosing another gear most of the show but it kept going!! lol
Tonights part 2 might be slightly more entertaining with their problem over the Porsche 'reg' number. With everything else that is so
obviously planned out behind the scenes, the chances of having that reg by accident was 0%.
Some of their 'specials' are entertaining/funny, not this one for me so far....

Clarkson did show a human side though when talking about visiting his dad, quite a memorable bit of the programme.

Was just about to say the same thing. Quite touching.
I'm also getting a hankering for an esprit now.

Wait until after tonight's show before committing to an esprit. I reckon it's gonna fail badly at some point!

There is no way they planned the Porsche number plate....its a real stretch even if you know what you are looking at after the event.

Please tell me that was typed tongue-in-cheek (so to speak... I mean type!) and that you don't honestly believe it was a
'coincidence'.

Actually I believe it was a complete coincidence....they are not know for being subtle and this was certainly that. Even now I can't believe
people think it has anything to do with the Falklands and I served in the RN at the time.
But then I was against Scottish independence because oil prices go down as well as up and look how wrong I was on that one.

Of course oil prices fluctuate (sometimes wildly) - always have and always will...

I do, apparently jc wanted a 928, only 2 were for sale, they chose the better one. The plate was confirmed as being original dvla issue from new. No
dpubt in my mind it was fluke.
as said, if they wanted to provoke it would be obvious (ie painted cars in us rental car special) and would be all 3 cars.

The TG producers were told before the they ever got to Argentina, that there could be a 'hostile reception'. As said, the Porche reg was a
fluke.

Certainly the 2nd part shows that the number plate seems to have been used as an excuse by the protesters.

If the reg was a coincidence, it was a million to one but either way as said above it would appear that that was only the cherry on the cake of anti
uk feelings!. Perhaps not the place to go for a holiday....
