"They had provoked anger by using a Porsche with the registration number H982 FKL, which politicians and army veterans suggested could be seen to refer to the Falklands conflict." "The executive producer of Top Gear, Andy Wilman, said: "Top Gear production purchased three cars for a forthcoming programme; to suggest that this car was either chosen for its number plate, or that an alternative number plate was substituted for the original is completely untrue." Hmmmmm... But. "Local councillor Juan Manuel Romano said the digits 269 on the number plate of the Ford Mustang Mustang Richard Hammond was driving were close to the 255 Britons killed during the 1982 war. He added that the numbers 646 on James May's Lotus could be taken as a reference to the 649 Argentinian casualties." Strokes chin.

We had a Chinese visitor last week who confessed that he learned English mostly by watching Top Gear. Heaven help us.

Which was better, his English or your Mandarin ?
