That convoy trip looked legit scary. I definitely would be thinking that whoever is dumb enough to be smashing car windows at point blank with rocks is dumb enough to take a shot at the cars too. Pretty embarrassing for Argentines (more like Argentwhines, though, am i rite lmao)

Logikv9 posted:Clarkson's plate is the most convincingly insulting one. I actually didn't believe it wasn't staged until I saw somebody's screenshot of the car registration and how it has belonged to that car since its construction. But once you take offense to one thing, everything else just becomes insulting just by being there. This is true. And I believe if that plate didn't say what it did, the Patagonia special would have ended with some boring car football match (which Argentina would win on penalties anyway). But as I said, if the plate didn't say what it did, they wouldn't have come up with it. It was a troll gone wrong.

Thank you Argentina for making the American South look sort of vaguely well adjusted and progressive in comparison. I didn't think that was possible but your contingent of intellectually disabled and persecution complex wielding troglodytes surpass ours

My favorite part of the Falklands war was when the Argentinians didn't realize the range of there missiles were significantly less then the British. Resulting in the British parking their ships just out of range and blasting the hell out of them.

You could associate any 3 digit number with the Falklands if you're allowed that sort of leeway. Scenery was gorgeous though, genuinely bummed out I'll never get to drive there.

I'm afraid the Exocet missiles had pretty good range and caused a significant amount of the total causalities suffered by the British. Two ships sunk, a third damaged. What part of this is your most favorite?

You guys are forgetting the fact that records prove that plate belonged to a gray Porsche 928 first registered in 1991. So unless it's an insult 20 years in the making, there's no way it could have been intentional. Jeremy's irrational love for the 928 (he also used one in the 1500-or-less-Porsche challenge, remember) implies that of course he'd pick the 928 if they're doing an "ode to the V8" challenge. If they picked that challenge just so they could use that Porsche with that number plate, I think they would have been a lot more obvious about the insult.

I'll say this, if they had intended to stir up poo poo I doubt James would have cracked off that throwaway one-liner about "I hereby claim this land in the name of Norfolk" when they got off the landing craft. They would have saved such jibes for the main event.

The Argentine navy went home after that cruiser got sunk - fair enough, they had absolutely no way of dealing with submarines. Then again the Brits couldn't effectively deal with Argentine air attacks either which is how their casualties happened.

Are you British? I don't understand from your jumbled words and broken logic if you are ridiculing Brits or trying to defend them somehow. I am happy to shitpost now and then, but I am not sending up anyone who died in an actual war. If you are British, please remember that a stupid "shitposting" Norwegian taught you something about your own country's military efforts today. I will happily celebrate the British efforts in the Falklands and mourn their losses in what was a just and true war - and I will not bat an eyelid at ridiculing morons who don't know what they're talking about, particularly the ones that struggle with their mother tongue at the same time. Go to school. All right that is definitely it though, posting over.

Had a chance to watch the special back to back last night and good lord was it funny.Watching that Lotus get pounded hurt a little since I have a soft spot for them. That 3 F's line slayed me.

Did anything even occur in the first half aside from the trip to the cabin and a few breakdowns? I think they expected the cars to be a lot more poo poo than they turned out to be in the first half, and they didn't organise alternate challenges to fill time if the wheels weren't falling off every five minutes. The "convert your car into something better in a garage" segment in the latter half also fits better if the cars had utterly disintegrated, but they hadn't and so it was a bit unnecessary.

I think they had planned for the arena building, car football, and whatever else they had planned to take up a lot of time and when that fell apart they just filled in the missing bits with whatever footage they had. Both episodes were very pretty but there wasn't a lot there (especially the first one which I found pretty boring).

Galler posted:I would have preferred a one hour special as well. Yeah, I found the first one pleasant, but not outstanding. The tone seemed to be all 'calm before the storm' which didn't really materialise (apart from the convoy segment, which didn't feature the stars). Not to mention that pretty much everything that happened had been done before on previous specials. Was there anything that was new?

Cakefool posted:Scenery was gorgeous though, genuinely bummed out I'll never get to drive there. Yup, Argentina is added to the "beautiful place but likely won't visit because of the people" list along with Greece. Clarkson's story about his father hit a bit close to home for me, as I had to rush my dad to emergency last week. Not nearly as cool of a car as it was a beat up Corolla and not as time sensitive since my dad is now receiving care, but you could hear the familiar emotion in Clarkson's voice.

For how long they drew out the special, I would love to know two things: How they got out and the state of the cars today. I would put good money on the hosts being flown out and the cars being torched.
