To think there's no way that number plate was a conicidence

[PrivateJourney]

just wasn't

No coincidence.

I agree. It's not like they don't have form for that sort of thing.

I can't open the link but if it was about clarkson and crew then I agree that it was not a coincidence. I wouldn't normally advocate violence but I can't help feel that they brought it on themselves in this case.

Link fail! What did it say?

I'm positive that was the genuine plate for that car, it looked easily like it could be a genuine H reg car. did anyone notice that pig with wings go past

Clarkson is an utter twat who appears to have never grown up. All 3 of them like giggly fucking schoolboys. Clearly it was on purpose and the whole "don't know what you're talkin' bout sir" nonsense just makes him look like even more of a cunt.

I don't know which of them I find more embarressing, Clarkson himself for being an Alf Garnett throwback, or the other two for giggling sycophantically at everything he says.

is this better?

I think they crossed the line - everything up until now I have seen the funny side of, or have thought was an over-reaction. But not this one. According to the radio, the car had it's original plates, and was last sold in august of this year. I would like to hear from the previous owner as to where/how it was sold. Might go and look on the DM - for some nice unbiased reporting.

No, that link doesn't work either - is it to do with Clarkson getting kicked out of a South American country?

No coincidence. Their usual xenophobic, Boratesque antics but this time they have been called on it.

sorry%2C when I click on the link the page just comes up with that

DH did a search of the registrations databases, and that plate simply doesnt exist as far as we could see. They are talking bollocks.

i dont think it was a mistake
did it begin with H, or G, which is a pretty old car?

I don't really see the problem with the plates?

Was it this by any chance?

Of course it wasn't.

I love TG (shouldn't really being a Guardian reading lentil weaver) but they've really dropped themselves in the shit this time.

Not a chance.

1969. That was not a 1969 porsche that he was driving.

No it wasn't ... They are dickheads

1969? Are you sure. My first car was an F reg. Bought approx. a year old c. 1990.

I think the number plate was probably correct for the car, I don't think they're quite stupid enough to use a car with fake plates and if it was re-registered just for the show that would be easy to prove and might actually get him sacked this time. What I think probably happened is someone saw the car and thought "what a fab car to take to Argentina"

I'm sorry, I don't get it?

No, to be 1969 the H would have been at the end.

With it at the front, that makes it a 1990 car.

H is 1991 i think
