Top Gear (UK) Christmas Special will feature a 928

Hopefully it will turn out better than the last time a 928 was on Top Gear.

It will probably be Jeremy Clarkson driving it, since he absolutely adores 928s, and the exposure to 500.000.000 viewers of a 928 doing well in a country like Argentina (terrible roads), could do wonders as a myth-buster of the 928 being unreliable.

Or it could go the exact opposite way, since ham-fisted Clarkson is behind the wheel. But bad PR is better than no PR, right?

Notice the license plate: "1982 Falklands" in typical TG-fashion.


The rear stuffed with off-road tyres.

Owning a 928 is risky business - but sometimes you just gotta say "what the fudge".

The trip just ended in tears; apparently the local argie mayor didn't like the number plate and the cars got pelted with rocks! TG claiming the license plate was just co-incidental
