Driving through Patagonia in this, Jeremy Clarkson created enormous controversy because of the registration plate "H982 FKL". It was allegedly a reference to the Falklands War, however the BBC maintains that it is no such thing.

Well the British one has been cancelled thanks to Clarkson, so at least there is something.

Top Gear is Top Gear I guess. I've never liked the destruction of cars and such in these series.
On a side note, isn't the Renault Fuego extremely rare nowadays? I've been to France many many times, yet I've never seen one in person.
