He buys American cars and clothes, puts cheese on everything, won’t eat European food other than spaghetti, lives on a ranch, flies a helicopter to work and goes to the dentist for cosmetic work. You really can’t get more American. I can also guarantee he knows more about American history than most Americans...…

In what way is Hammond an American?

From what I’ve seen May is a class act. He is a fine counterpoint to the tiny American spark plug and the huge, lumbering ape. All 3 of them is what makes TG such a treat to watch.

It’s just that crime there is so rampant that not chasing the bad guys sends a self defeatist message.

Yes, it was a coincidence, they bought the car sight-unseen before the challenge and no one really thought anything about the plates until after they’d started filming apparently.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I think it’s petty bullshit to come to online forums and complain how an officer in one of the most dangerous places in the world was “being an asshat”. Maybe you should try doing his job and see how fast you stop caring about risk as much as you would in the states.

absolutely nothing.

So just FYI there is a lot unattributed quotes going around about this. James May was behind Clarkson and states he was the only one late due to buying a gift and Clarkson was not drunk:

Not even the brilliant Top Gear producers would have done the mental gymnastics needed to interpret that number plate as being a reference to the Falklands War.

Actually the car was RHD from the UK, but yes, those were the original plates it had since new, 1992 if I’m not mistaken

Wasn’t the license plate on the Porsche in Argentina proven to be the plate that Porsche has had in Argentina for years and it was just a convenient coincidence?

That’s funny but I think both of his friends are out of town this weekend.

They tested the foam at our hangar. The entire place was filled up about waist deep. It was off limits. We were told not to touch because there are certain chemicals in it that can cause cancer. I haven’t been able to get my hands on an MSDS for it to verify.

You become a retard-ant.

SHUT UP AND STOP TELLING EVERYONE MY PLANS TO LIVE MY AUTOMOTIVE DREAMS!!!!!

what the hell does this have to do with the grand tour???

my reaction to the opening

I wonder what the chances are the car behind (prius? too lazy to look again) was playing with their phone. I you’re paying attention and are that bad of a driver you should lose your license. If you’re playing with your phone you should have your license suspended for two weeks. I ride mc too and the amount of people…
