And now Hammond tweeted: Richard Hammond (@RichardHammond) tweeted at 1:04 pm on Fri, Apr 24, 2015: To be clear amidst all this talk of us 'quitting' or not: there's nothing for me to 'quit'. Not about to quit my mates anyway.

A lot of Top Gear fans seem to not care for the news segment, but some of the funniest stuff has come out of that segment. Every Christmas news segment is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPrg_ccBsRM Jehde fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Apr 24, 2015 |

Who doesn't like the news? The news is always the best. People might be thinking of SIARPC.

SIARPC wouldn't be so bad if it was interesting people who like cars to come on and talk about cars. Stopping a car show to talk to some dickback singer who doesn't have a drivers license and has never owned a car just because he's got an album coming out pretty much just makes it a piss break.

I would have been fine if Top gear was just an hour long news segment with an occasional challenge/special.

For years i would just skip past SIARPC. I wish they used that segment to do a weekly cool wall, and slot the "big adventure story" video in there, and keep the car reviews. Near the end it was always stupid international road trips. All i wanted was golfs and corvettes on the test track

If they did a weekly half hour news program throughout the year, I would watch that.

If it's some british guy I've never heard of, I usually skip it. Not saying it should always be American movie stars, but it should be people who are internationally known. Though, i'm glad they had seasick steve on that one time. He's cool.

I'm reading that as "While they did change the plates, the circumstances means it wasn't a crime" - that is, she's OK with the plate swapping part.

Yeah, rereading it, the decision wasn't stupid, just the rhetoric around it. So perhaps a non-stupid judge, who knows she has to throw a bone to the angry mob, while she gives a sensible judgement.

So what does this mean - they can't set foot in Argentina again without being arrested? I think they're probably all fine with that.

Hasn't it been proved that the plate had been on the Porsche for years and years? drat, Argentina makes it kinda hard to not think it's a country full of ignorant assholes.

You think that a country that wants to ignore the democratic wishes of the native inhabitants of the Falklands care about looking like idiots? Yes the current population of the Falklands are the native inhabitants.

I love the fact that the prosecutors pursued this in the first place. They were obviously just fishing for a crime they could charge them with.

When the incident originally happened, someone found a mix of DMV records and an old photo proving that plate had been on the car for several years prior to Top Gear buying it.

I bet the New Orleans street militia was also awarded the "humanitarians of the year"-award along with the lawyer who came to complain about the free car being a different model than originally mentioned.
