Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May back in the Top Gear Patagonia special in which the trio will embark on a 1,600-mile journey through Patagonia to the southernmost city in the world. They will be driving the Porsche 928, Lotus Esprit and Ford Mustang through swamps, beaches, forests and ski slopes while at the end there's going to be a car football game against Argentina.

Argentina, nation that gets angry about losing a surprise war they started, for islands that voted against them, for islands they never even owned xD True big brains
The "karen" nation
Bunch of windswept rocks full of sheepshaggers in the middle of nowhere. I can see why they wanted them so bad.
I’m so fed up with the argument “they voted against Argentinian rule”. The only purpose of the islands is to establish a military base in case of need. It’s the same as if I put a nuclear reactor right next to your town and when you complained I’d go “oh but the staff wants to keep working there” ITS NOT UP TO THEM and if the islands don’t belong to Argentina then WHY IN THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD BELONG TO THE CROWN??????

James May, showing up in the coolest car, in the coolest suit, with the coolest sunglasses, and he goes "Hi" like a middle-aged math teacher
He's FAB 💖
"Maths".

Nothing cool about that suit. At all🤣
How should he greet them?
“He knows absolutely the square root of jack sh*t about food and cooking” One of my favorite James may quotes.
After many years so true 😂😂😂
If you do not know why they got attacked is for Clarkson's number plate: H982 FKL. On Argentina they referred that plate as the war on 1982 on Falklands Islands who Britain win. The 3 cars got stuck in Argentina, the cars never arrived to Chile. The cars got destroyted in Argentina for order of the government, the police denied to protect the crew and all the team, they only decided to go with them on the trip to leave Argentina. It was a stupid decision of the argentinians to attack them.
Arl Tratlo It does not apply. If Britain won or Argentina it does not matter that behavior. Top Gear does not request to conquer Falklands, they do not have nothing to do with that, they are just simply britain citizens on a trip in Argentina, what is wrong with that? It's just embarassing.
@@Arltratlo Also put up slogans about 'The Malvinas' (that is what the Argentinians refer to the Falklands as).
@@simonkevnorris i know that, thx for remembering me on things i watched in 1982 in the telly...!
lol they salty because the british destroyed them
@@Arltratlo Yeah nobody would care, because we're not animals unlike you people
All of that because a random number plate reminded them of a war THEY STARTED and lost?
Yes ... Stupid hey ?
My Dad was in the RAF and went to the Falklands in 1982. He said the Argies sent there to fight didn't want to be there. Now it seems the whole country hates us because they lost. Short memories and bad losers. Should blame their own politicians, just as we should ours for the wars they get involved in and send our troops to just because America wants it.
@@kirsty3655 Meh, I am in the Army, and was stationed in germany for two years, most of us don't want those wars either man.
@@duffmann3 Well GOD Bless and keep you safe mate
I’m not convinced that the number plate was totally random
James: *falls off horse Richard: *genuine concern Jeremy: I guess we're walking
Can we just appreciate that pretty little Lotus that went 1600 miles on mostly gravel roads or no roads at all and didn’t break down once What a brilliant little car such a shame they had to abandon it along with the other two
And what a gorgeous piece of metal that Lotus is... or was. haha
Unless Argentina had export restrictions it's weird they would leave any of these cars as it would only be a few thousand to ship them home in a container. Still a lot but for a piece of automotive history it seems like a lot to leave behind
I feel bad for the guy driving the 2CV through that crowd of psychopaths. that thing is made out of cardboard and duck tape.
It only needs 1 spanner to fix and disassemble a 2cv. Argentina... It only takes a rock.
i don t think it was being driven it may have been on the flatbed the whole journey
Its the worst back up car TG got
The body is actually very tuff and made of some sort of steel, the problem are the massive fragile windows all around the car.
@@provigilandchill ya its a fish bowl.
Imagine getting your knickers in a twist because of a number plate which wasn't custom AND has to be road legal.
thats why you can get the ppl out of a 3rd world country, but you cant get the 3rd world out of the ppl....
To be fair it's really not surprising. People bitch about anything these days

@@AverageAlien I mean, funny joke but to be honest, it was a huge pity move tbh. Not only is this stupid, but they mildly misinterpreted the plate.

I love it how they thought the Lotus wouldn’t make the trip, it was the only one of the three that never suffered any kind of issue
Well, i am Argentinian and I always wanted top gear come here. After this really violent events I am so embarrassed about some kind of people here. I'm so sorry that everything ended this way, but remember, we don't are all the same. I want peace, respect and brotherhood for every country in the world.
The joke was not appropriate neither, they should have investigated how serious this topic is. Going to Tierra del fuego, the province that is the government of the islands according to the Argentinian government, the man making a joke was a British working for a British channel and having a plate with the words FLK 982 was a receipt for disaster.
@@valentino64k yes but the thing is that the plate was random not custom made.
choosing that specific plate is not a coincidence, they wanted to do a joke I understand that, but thet type of jokes are not funny for argentinians.
@@valentino64k 928 is a name of the car, and is the FLK same as FLD, FKD, FKN or any other combination of the words offensive? U really are kinda soft lol.

7:29 Richards German accent was on point.
Favourite part.
Sounded a lot like an Indian accent ngl
German I thought it was Indian
only if you not German, because it didnt sound german..!
It’s supposed to sound like Dr. Strangelove I believe.
I honestly thought the riot thing was a joke at the start, but then those 10 minutes were probably the most interesting Top Gear segment EVER
As an Argentinian I apologize on behalf of my country’s people. Some people think that pride is better than anything else. If we kept the islands I guarantee you that they would be just another hideout for our dear president. Love everybody

Love how they played "For Your Eyes Only" when May came in with the Esprit. Good nod to the fact that Roger Moore's Bond drove at least 3 Esprits throughout his career.
5:53 GLITCH IN THE MATRIX! Clarkson says "What" in Hammond's voice!
Guessing the audio and video were recorded on two different devices and the editor in charge of lining them up had had a few too many.
let me just say that Top Gear crew went to Iraq, and managed to return safely; went to Vietnam carrying a bike that literally smells 'AMERICA' and also managed to return safely. But Argentina? nope.
The argentines are a salty bunch unfortunately
And don't forget that they once used Spitfire when challenges the trio Germans presenter on the Belgium
Don't forget Alabama
Totally deserved to be called a cesspit, probably.

The Argentines started a surprise war and then were surprised when the British sank the Belgrano... Truly the masters of warfare.
It's obviously still a sensitive issue... many Argentinians died during the war. I am sure those soldiers didn't want to go to war but had to and they died, so there is naturally some resentment. Top Gear team crossed the line too much this time.
@@slouberiee Many people did not die during the Falklands War. Of the 8-10k conscripts deployed by the Argentinians only 649 died, thats about 15% of the army. Compare that to Okinawa where the American's lost 12,520 killed in action out of the half a million deployed in a similar battlefield. Whether or not they wanted to go to war they did, they fought in a suprise illegal war and outnumbered the British and still loss, if my nation had no honor or victory I would also be a bit angry.
@@slouberiee People DO die in war... if Argentina thought different then they're too ignorant to be starting wars.

They are not perfect car reviewers. It was always about their chemistry, their deep down honest friendship and good humor! That's why they were by far the best car TV Show in the world. Still today, they are the best and we all know it
I was in the British army just after the Falklands Conflict. All I'll say is that Buenos Ares and Mendoza are incredible places, and the people I met were wonderful, and so friendly. A stunning country, the drive over the Andes to Chile is incredible - but the highpoint was meeting fabulous people in Argentina.
@wasabio 1 No, don't be shy. I know the DeviantArt community, my daughter was an active member for years. They will be delighted to welcome you.
James May seriously looked petrified on 5:07 I felt that
He did well to recover it though
"At first I was afraid, I was petrified"
He will survive.
From happy to terrified in a quick second
Yeh he was headed right for the ditch to, did well to get the car back in line all credit to him.
'The square root of Jack sh**' is comedy gold with James saying it

As an Argentine I always wanted top gear to come to Argentina to do a road trip, it is a wonderful country to explore by car. It is sad that everything ended like this. don't hate us, we are not all like these people.
This sort of behaviour doesn't inspire confidence in being a tourist.

@@gianluca6391 I am English and I do not hate Argentina nor the people there. However, I do despise that kind of behaviour, irrespective of why or where it occurs. People fixate on the irrelevant in order to justify the unjustifiable, instead of exercising common sense and respecting the rights of others. It would seem though, that this kind of attitude and behaviour is not exactly uncommon or unknown in Argentina, or throughout South America in fact.
As a Brit myself I have to say Argentina looks wonderful. I'd love to visit it.
the 2cv just lurking in the background is the funniest thing in my opinion
9:20 James is a beast taking a slam like that. DAMN!!!
And that’s a brief moment of time when they’re not acting
2:58 - genuine heart feels at Jeremy's nostalgia when he says "where Butch lived." Imagine nine year old Jeremy's fascination with the colorful and murderous mythos of the American West. He probably saw it several years after it came out, when he was a teenager.
Do you want to date him or something?

1600 Miles.... in a Lotus best line ever

Lotus was the MPV! Too bad it was sacrificed to stupidity on the part of the Argentinean ego.

I mean there are 2 extremes. Yes, most people are absolute ignorant morons, but of course not everyone is like this. Quite a lot of people are actually extremely nice and friendly, specially if you avoid big cities. From my experience, people in small towns and specially in rural areas are some of the most friendly and likeable people i've ever met
Saying Argentina is "narrow minded" based on a KZhead video showing the bad behaviour of less than 1000 people from a population of 45 millions. Gotta love the irony.

Star Trek is also banned in Argentina because of its constant reference to "Vulcans". And "Gherkins" are no longer sold in shops as many Argentinians confused them with Gurkhas and were having nightmares about heavily armed cucumbers.

For anyone curious, there's another reason why Jeremy has a special place in his heart for the 928. It has to do with the passing of his father. Thanks to a 928, he got to spend one final half hour moment with him before his father left this world.
That lotus is insane. Supposedly the most unreliable car in the bunch and yet never broke down or got stuck a single time. It even beat the Porsche.
As james arrives in the background plays some bit of 'nobody dies it better' which was the song from a spy who loved me, with the underwater lotus
