 From the guy who posted this pic, outside their hotel: "Jeremy is very polite and likeable, he let us take pictures even though the production team had told us not to. We welcomed them in behalf of the TG fans in Bariloche, and he joked with us that we're fans but unfortunately he has to work in the show" tumblr

Top Gear is already in Tierra del FuegoLUNES 29 SEPTIEMBRE 2014 MONDAY 29 SEPTEMBER 2014  Top Gear, el famoso programa británico de la BBC, continúa grabando un especial en la Patagonia. Si recién te enteraste de la noticia, te invitamos a ver esta sección especial. Para quienes vienen siguiendo la historia desde el primer día, los actualizamos con las últimas novedades: entre el viernes y el domingo, la caravana liderada por el Porsche 928 GT de Jeremy Clarkson, el Lotus Esprit V8 de James May y el Ford Mustang Mach 1 de Richard Hammond estuvo en El Calafate, filmando tomas en el glaciar Perito Moreno. Pero antes pasaron por el Taller Chilese, donde los autos fueron sometidos al habitual tuning de todos los especiales de Top Gear: se modificaron las suspensiones para mejorar el desempeño en los caminos de ripio y se agregaron grotescos accesorios off-road. Pero, en este caso, además se alteraron las carrocerías para mejorar la capacidad de carga. El Porsche y el Mustang fueron transformados en pick-ups, mientras que el Lotus ahora tira de un remolque. Luego cruzaron hacia Chile y se detuvieron en la zona franca de Punta Arenas, donde compraron todo tipo de cachivaches, incluyendo un jarrón de 2.400 dólares en la tienda Transworld Supply. ¿El objetivo? Ese es un secreto que sólo conoce Andy Wilman, el legendario productor ejecutivo de Top Gear. Luego los autos embarcaron en el puerto local y navegaron en un ferry hasta Tierra del Fuego.

But in this case, the car bodies were also altered to improve carrying capacity. The Porsche and Mustang were turned into pick-ups, while the Lotus is now pulling a trailer.

La caravana de Top Gear pasó por Río Grande (y hoy llega a Ushuaia)
Top Gear caravan passed through Río Grande, Argentina (and today will reach Ushuaia) MIÉRCOLES 1 OCTUBRE 2014/WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 1, 2014  La caravana de Top Gear se encuentra desde el lunes en Tierra del Fuego, punto final de la travesía de casi dos semanas por la Patagonia, que comenzó en Bariloche, transitó por la Ruta 40 y cruzó a Chile en dos oportunidades. Por si no estabas enterado, la historia completa de la filmación del programa especial de la BBC en el Sur argentino la podés repasar acá. Los que sí están enterados son los paparazzi de Autoblog, que siguen a la caravana a sol y a sombra. El equipo liderado por el Porsche 928 GT de Jeremy Clarkson, el Lotus Esprit de James May y el Ford Mustang Mach I de Richard Hammond (profundamente modificados en un taller de El Calafate) llegaron anoche al Gran Hotel Río Grande, de Tierra del Fuego. “Los esperaban a las 20 y llegaron a las 24, agotadísimos”, reportó Daniel Vázquez, paparazzo de Autoblog. “Aún así, amablemente, me permitieron unas palabras y fotos. Al parecer, fue una jornada difícil. Aunque no me lo confirmaron, es posible que hayan hecho la senda a Yendegaia, un cruce de cordillera bravo, con ripio y quizás nieve, en la zona de Porvenir. Aparentemente, May habría regalado el carrito de remolque de su Lotus a la gente del hotel. Les dijo que estaba harto de andar con esa cosa”. GL, otro de los paparazzi de Autoblog, amplió la información: “Pude dialogar con uno de la producción y me dijo que al mediodía de hoy miércoles parten para Ushuaia, por lo que voy a hacer lo imposible por seguirlos. Seguramente paren en Tolhuin, que está a mitad de camino”. GL tuvo tiempo de inspeccionar los autos en detalle: “Se nota que el Porsche y el Mustang tuvieron percances. Están muy castigados”. Para hoy está previsto el arribo a Ushuaia. Las 40 personas que integran la caravana, con todos los vehículos, se hospedarán en el Hotel Arakur de esa ciudad. *The Top Gear caravan is in Tierra del Fuego since Monday, the end of the nearly two-week trip to Patagonia, which began in Bariloche, they drove on Route 40 and crossed into Chile twice. In case you were not aware, the full story of the filming of the BBC special programme in the Argentine South you can review here. Those who are aware are Autoblog's paparazzi, which follow the caravan to Sun and shade. The team led by Jeremy Clarkson's Porsche 928 GT, James May's Lotus Esprit and Richard Hammond's Ford Mustang Mach I's (highly modified in a workshop of El Calafate) arrived last night at Gran Hotel Rio Grande, of Tierra del Fuego. "Waiting for them at 20 and arrived at 24, exhausted", reported Daniel Vázquez, Autoblog's paparazzo. "Even so, kindly, allowed me a few words and photos. Apparently, it was a difficult day. Although not confirmed to me, they might have made the path to Yendegaia, a rough mountain range crossing, with gravel and perhaps snow, in the Porvenir area. Apparently, May would have given the cart his Lotus was towing to the hotel people. He told them he was sick of that thing". GL, another of the paparazzi of Autoblog, added information: "I could talk to one of the production and he told me that at noon on today, Wednesday, they depart for Ushuaia, so will make it nearly impossible to follow them. Surely stop in Tolhuin, which is half way". GL had time to inspect the car in detail: "You can tell the Porsche and Mustang had mishaps. They are very punished. " Below the story was updated with photos taken by one of our Tierra del Fuego paparazzi : Lisandro Ruiz Cardona. The arrival to Ushuaia is scheduled for today. The 40 people comprising the caravan, with all vehicles, will stay at the Arakur Hotel in that city.  El Porsche 928 GT de Jeremy Clarkson

Yes indeed! He looks quite tired.Do you think he should keep the beard? I'm on the fence about that. James' looks similar. I think Richard must be shaving. I would imagine they are all tired I know I'd be after driving for two weeks on some some rough roads, sleeping in strange beds, eating foreign food and then doing some shopping. I like the stubble, but not a fan of beards. I don't think Jeremy will keep a beard he's always going on about beardy,sandal wearing, organic free trade lentil eating, Guardian reading types  Richard seems to grow what I like to call a "Richard's evil twin" goatee on these trips    Looks like James is having a smoke in the SUV    That vase looks like something a footballer would have in his Cheshire gated mansion. It also reminds me of those cellophane cone bags of candy corn I see in the stores at this time of year  patagoniad.com/2014/09/28/graban-escenas-de-top-gear-en-punta-arenas/ |

Un periodista inglés viajó por el país en un auto con patente de las "Falklands"
An English journalist traveled the country in a car with the license plate "Falklands"Es el famoso automovilista de la BBC, Jeremy Clarkson. Recorrió la Patagonia filmando su programa en Porsche con chapa "H982 FKL". An English journalist traveled the country in a car with the license plate "Falklands" 01/10/14  El Porsche con que el periodista inglés Jeremy Clarkson recorre la Patagonia, y su polémica patente: H982 FKL.
The Porsche with the British journalist Jeremy Clarkson travels Patagonia, and its license plate controversy: H982 FKL.Natasha Niebieskikwiat Son muchas las coincidencias. Casi treinta años después de mantener al aire su exitoso programa Top Gear, que emite la BBC, el super famoso automovilista y periodista británico Jeremy Clarkson se dio el "lujo" de atravesar la Patagonia argentina con un Porsche que llevaba la provocativa patente "H982 FKL". Evidentemente, ni pobladores ni autoridades prestaron gran atención en el Sur a dicha identificación: una referencia a la guerra de 1982 y a las "Islas Falkland", como llaman británicos y kelpers a las Malvinas. Cuando todos pensaban que Clarkson ya se había ido del país, el sitio Autoblog.com.ar informó hoy que la caravana se encuentra desde el lunes en Tierra del Fuego. Ushuaia sería el final de la travesía de dos semanas. Este episodio de Top Gear llevó autos de lujo desde el hotel Llao Llao (Bariloche), hasta Tierra del Fuego, tierra nacionalista y "malvinera" por su cercanía a las islas (es la provincia en las que figuran las islas por constitución) y por su cercanía la guerra con el Reino Unido. Según Autoblog, transitaron la ruta 40 y cruzaron dos veces a Chile. El Porsche H982 FKL encabezó la caravana. Y según se dijo, el programa será emitido por la BBC2 en marzo de 2015. El viaje singular y provocador de Clarkson, de 54 años, apenas repercutió en la Patagonia, pero sí tuvo un picante cruce con el diario The Mirror. Este medio publicó un artículo en el que aseguraba que las autoridades de la BBC le habían ordenado a Clarkson que evitara cualquier choque diplomático entre su país y la Argentina. Efectivamente el tema es de alta sensibilidad para los argentinos. Además, dadas la situación actual, las leyes de boicot a las banderas británicas que aprobaron las provincias patagónicas -como la norma llamada "Gaucho Rivero"- Clarkson habría tenido problemas, sin dudas. Pero el periodista le respondió al Mirror a través de Twitter que "se fueran al carajo". Se sacó fotos luciendo tranquilo en los paisajes patágónicos y hasta arriesgó otra foto en las que sólo se ven botellas de vino, de ron y latas de cerveza con leyenda. "Argentina. In a hotel bar. I am going to fvcking live here" ("Argentina. En un bar de hotel. Puta, yo voy a vivir aquí"). Clarkson, cuyo programa tiene una enorme audiencia, suele causar controversias en los lugares en los que graba su show. Ahora, por Ushuaia no se ha dejado ver.
An English journalist traveled the country in a car with the license plate "Falklands"
It is the famous BBC motorist, Jeremy Clarkson. He toured Patagonia filming his program in a Porsche plated "H982 FKL".There are many coincidences. Almost thirty years later maintains the air of its successful program Top Gear, broadcast by the BBC, the super famous motorist and British journalist Jeremy Clarkson was given the "luxury" of crossing Patagonia, Argentina with a Porsche that carried provocative license plate "H982 FKL". Obviously neither residents nor authorities paid great attention in the South to this identification: a reference to the war of 1982 and the "Falkland Islands", as British and kelpers call the Malvinas. When everyone thought that Clarkson had already left the country, the site Autoblog.com.ar reported today that the Caravan is Monday in Tierra del Fuego. Ushuaia would be the end of the crossing of two weeks. This episode of Top Gear took luxury cars from the hotel Llao Llao (Bariloche), to Tierra del Fuego, nationalist ground and "malvinera" due to its proximity to the Islands (the province that included the Islands by Constitution) and its proximity to the war with the United Kingdom. According to Autoblog, traveled the route 40 and crossed twice to Chile. The Porsche H982 FKL led the caravan. And he said the program will be aired by the BBC2 in March 2015. The unique and provocative journey of Clarkson, 54 years old, hardly had an impact in Patagonia, but had a spicy crossing with the newspaper The Mirror. This media published an article which they claimed that the BBC authorities had ordered Clarkson to avoid any diplomatic clash between his country and Argentina. Indeed the issue is highly sensitive for the Argentines. Moreover, given the present situation, the laws boycotting British flags such as the Patagonian provinces adopted-the standard called "Gaucho Rivero" - Clarkson would have had problems, no doubt. But the journalist replied to The Mirror via Twitter to "fvck off". Took pictures looking quiet in the Patagonian landscapes and even risked another picture of only bottles of wine, rum and beer cans/tins captioned. "Argentina. In a hotel bar. I am going fvcking to live here". Clarkson, whose program has a huge audience, often causing controversies in the places in which he recorded his show. Now, Ushuaia has not been allowed to see. www.clarin.com/politica/Malvinas-Islas_Falkland-Reino_Unido-Argentina-soberania-guerra-periodista_0_1222078261.html

La producción del programa televisivo británico Top Gear, especializado en automóviles, llegó hasta la ciudad de Ushuaia ocultando de la prensa y del público el Porsche con la patente "H982 FKL" que remite a la guerra de 1982 por las Islas Malvinas. 01.10.2014 23:49 El programa que se emite por la cadena BBC de Londres y que es considerado uno de los más importantes del mundo en su especialidad, originó una polémica por la exhibición de esa inscripción, considerada provocativa, durante las filmaciones que realizan por distintos ciudades de la Patagonia desde mediados de septiembre. La caravana formada por tres autos deportivos, el Porsche 928 GT del periodista Jeremy Clarkson (uno de los conductores de Top Gear) el Lotus Esprit de James May y el Ford Mustang Mach I de Richard Hammond, arribaron a la ciudad fueguina de Río Grande el martes a la noche, acompañados de varios vehículos de apoyo y unas 40 personas en total. Fuentes policiales de la provincia confirmaron que los vehículos pasaron a las 11.20 de hoy por el puesto de egreso de Río Grande, aunque a las 19 aún no habían llegado a su destino final, Ushuaia, situada a 220 kilómetros de distancia. Una serie de consultas a distintas personas vinculadas con la producción del programa, muchas de ellas contradictorias entre sí, terminaron por confirmar que los tres autos finalmente se detuvieron en el Cerro Castor, un complejo de esquí ubicado a 30 kilómetros de la capital fueguina. Directivos del establecimiento ratificaron a Télam que la productora alquiló un sector cerrado del complejo, con un galpón, herramientas y espacio para estacionamiento, además de la logística necesaria para subir mañana a los automóviles hasta las cotas más altas del cerro donde aún continúa siendo temporada de esquiadores.

Ushuaia: Top Gear filmed in Cerro Castor(Beaver Hill)the end of its Patagonia journeyJUEVES 2 OCTUBRE 2014 THURSDAY OCTOBER 2, 2014  Después de dos semanas de viaje por el Sur de Argentina y Chile, la caravana de Top Gear finalmente llegó ayer a Ushuaia. El equipo del programa de la BBC, integrado por 40 personas se hospedó en el Hotel Arakur y ayer estuvo filmando las últimas imágenes del programa especial sobre la Patagonia en las pistas de esquí del Cerro Castor. Si querés saber de qué se trata el programa y en qué lugares ya filmaron, mirá estas notas. Con tracción trasera, motores V8 de buena potencia y sin ayudas electrónicas, el Porsche 928 GT de Jeremy Clarkson, el Lotus Esprit V8 de James May y el Ford Mustang Mach 1 de Richard Hammond pasaron buena parte de la tarde intentando trepar por las pistas para grabar las escenas finales en la cima de un cerro. Allí se construyó una pista sobre la nieve apisonada, donde los autos disputarán una especie de carrera. Los vehículos fueron guardados anoche en un galpón del centro de esquí y hoy continuarán las grabaciones. Las reservas en el hotel de Ushuaia están agendadas hasta el domingo 5. Mientras tanto, ayer en Buenos Aires dos medios de comunicación antagónicos –Clarín y la agencia oficial Télam- brindaron su propia interpretación sobre un detalle que Autoblog reveló hace diez días: el Porsche de Clarkson lleva la patente “H982 FKL”, que puede ser interpretada como “1982 Falklands”. Las notas de los dos medios se reproducen acá abajo.

Reservations at the hotel in Ushuaia are scheduled until Sunday, October 5th.

'Top Gear' crew escorted out of Argentina province
Oct. 2, 2014 10:52 PM EDT BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A crew from the popular BBC television program "Top Gear" has left an Argentine province after being denied permission to film by local authorities who said one of its cars had a license plate alluding to the Falklands War between Britain and the South American country. Juan Manuel Romano, secretary of social development for Ushuaia in southern Tierra del Fuego province, said the program's crew and its host Jeremy Clarkson were escorted to the airport. "They have taken the decision to leave," he said. The "Top Gear" crew was in Argentina to film using three cars, a Porsche, a Lotus and a Mustang. Local officials said the Porsche had the license plate "H982 FKL," which they felt was a reference to the 1982 war between the countries over the Falklands Islands. Argentina, which lost the war, still claims the island group it calls Las Malvinas. A group of former Argentine combatants in the war had held a protest in front of the hotel where Clarkson and the BBC crew were staying. The British newspaper The Telegraph said the BBC denied the license plate was intentionally chosen. "Top Gear production purchased three cars for a forthcoming programme; to suggest that this car was either chosen for its number plate, or that an alternative number plate was substituted for the original is completely untrue," BBC executive producer Andy Wilman was quoted as saying. In 2011, the BBC apologized to Mexico over remarks made on "Top Gear" that characterized Mexicans as lazy and oafish. bigstory.ap.org/article/6d38cad0382b48658b02031ad2448a07/top-gear-crew-escorted-out-argentina-province
Jeremy Clarkson 'stoned' as Top Gear crew abandon cars and flee Argentina
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Richard May flee Argentina under police escort after locals stone cars and Top Gear crew in a row over a Porsche number plate  The Top Gear cars, including Jeremy Clarkson's Porsche with the controversial Falklands number plate removed, in a garage in Argentina. Photo:Autoblog Argentina By Camilla Turner 10:36AM BST 03 Oct 2014 Jeremy Clarkson and his Top Gear team were forced to abandon their cars and flee Argentina three days early as they were pelted with stones following a number plate controversy. The crew were given an ultimatum by local Falklands war veterans to leave or "face the consequences". They had provoked anger by using a Porsche with the registration number H982 FKL, which politicians and army veterans suggested could be seen to refer to the Falklands conflict. Mr Clarkson's Porsche was abandoned by the side of the road along with the Lotus and Ford Mustang used by his co-presenters after they came under attack from locals. Initially, the cars were thought to have been left behind in storage after Clarkson and his Top Gear team were warned to leave Tierra del Fuego. However, it emerged on Friday that the production crew abandoned the damaged vehicles at a police checkpoint on route to Chile after locals stoned them near the town of Tolhuin. Film crew reportedly told officers at the first checkpoint they reached after passing through Tolhuin: "We're leaving the cars, we don't want more problems. Burn them if you want but we're getting out of here." An Argentinian technician hired for the Top Gear shoot is said to have been injured after a stone thrown by one of the demonstrators hit him in the face. The BBC confirmed that the cast and crew had left the country, but Top Gear producers insisted the plate had not been chosen deliberately and was a pure coincidence. Local councillor Juan Manuel Romano said the digits 269 on the number plate of the Ford Mustang Mustang Richard Hammond was driving were close to the 255 Britons killed during the 1982 war. He added that the numbers 646 on James May's Lotus could be taken as a reference to the 649 Argentinian casualties. Local war veteran association member Osvaldo Hilliar, referring to the Falklands by their Spanish name, said: "Our position from the outset was to demand the withdrawal of the TV team from our province, which includes the Malvinas, by 8pm on Thursday, with the warning we'd organise a demonstration to reject their provocation if not. "What they did was an offence that through no coincidence was committed in the capital of the Malvinas, without any regard to local feeling about this cause. Clarkson's Porsche was given permission to enter Argentina by the country's Foreign Affairs ministry. He flew into Buenos Aires on September 17 before heading to the ski resort of Bariloche to start a 1,350 mile filmed trek along the country's famous Patagonian Highway - route 40 - to the world's southernmost city of Ushuaia. The controversy over his number plate erupted as he neared the city. Local government chief Sergio Araque said: "We share the opinion of the Ushuaia War Veterans Association, that this was intentional provocation by the Top Gear team, and agreed that they should leave Tierra del Fuego province by yesterday/Thursday afternoon. "We provided two police cars to escort them to the border with Chile and asked the Director of Borders to corroborate that they had left the same night." The executive producer of Top Gear, Andy Wilman, said: "Top Gear production purchased three cars for a forthcoming programme; to suggest that this car was either chosen for its number plate, or that an alternative number plate was substituted for the original is completely untrue." Mr Clarkson is no stranger to controversy. In 2012 the Indian High Commission in London formally complained to the BBC about an India special in which Mr Clarkson travelled round the country in a Jaguar with a toilet fixed to the boot. In August Ofcom ruled he deliberately used racist language when he referred to an Asian man as a 'slope' during Top Gear's Burma special. A spokesman from the BBC said: "No comment right now". www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/top-gear/11137879/Jeremy-Clarkson-stoned-as-Top-Gear-crew-abandon-cars-and-flee-Argentina.html
