just wondering... were these cars shipped in from the uk, or were the obtained locally? i was confused because the lotus and porsche had uk plates (but the porsche later changed to something i am not sure of) and the mustang i have no idea what it is.

The cars were shipped there. There's a back story to the Porsche somewhere stating that the plate on the car is original and long belonged to the previous owner.

meh, watched both parts, wasn't too entertained tbh, felt they could have cut the show down by at least 30mins


I felt, there was an underlying tone of antagonism against Argentina throughout, but maybe I'm reading too much into it, and maybe that's how it was edited after what happened to the production crew at the end


but anyway, my god argentina/chile are beautiful!



and if you read the reasoning under the latest dailymail article...Clarkson et al. claim they knew about the issue when they first entered Chile and had the option to change the plates but decided that there would be "continuity" issues (so they decided "fuck it")

Quote:
Clarkson went on to say no one in the Top Gear crew realised the potential offence the plate would cause until three days later while they were filming in Chile. Its significance was pointed out to the crew on the internet, the show's executive producer has said.
Government officials were then contacted and asked if the plate would be a problem when they arrived in Ushuaia two weeks later, Clarkson said.
They were told to change it before they arrived, which Clarkson said created continuity issues as the car had already been filmed.

Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz3NHpF68Dq
Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook
but Clarkson during the Top Gear special said it wasn't possible to change the plates

Quote:
Clarkson said they then formed a 'cunning plan' to make-up for the number plate swap. They created joke plates - saying BE11 END - which they planned to film May and Hammond fitting on the car without his knowledge making him look 'idiotic' when he drove it.
But before the crew had a chance to film the scene they were set upon by an angry mob who threw rocks at their cars.
but they weren't set upon with rock throwers until they were along the border of chile getting out of dodge




anyway controversy seems to be what Top Gear does best

There is no continuity issues that they care of. For instance, can you pinpoint when James May changed the OZ wheels on the Lotus to stock rims? I can't. Richard Hammond had a puncture, swapped a steelie, but in the next shot of the car it's an alloy wheel again.... wtf. Who cares if the plates are wrong from one point to another, just have someone rear end JC and say the plate fell off and don't bother picking it up. Done.

i could have sworn that he pulled a matching spare out of the trunk of the mustang...

the lotus changed to studded winter tires on stock esprit wheels between the monster garage makeover and them boarding the ferry?
