It's also clear that in this instance Top Gear victimized themselves. If you're an avid TG viewer like myself, you know perfectly well that over their many adventures that the cars shown often have deliberately funny number plates. Clarkson himself points out on the show many time how number plates are used, intentionally or not, to make funny anagrams. If this was never the case it would still beggar belief that a car with "H982FKL" plates was unintentionally purchased. It seems to me that a more like scenario would be that someone on the TG staff saw the car, recognized the number plate as joke material, and swiftly bought the car. Or at least obtained the plates.

Taken another way, if everyone at TG claims innocence as they surely will, it seems quite unlikely that anyone on the TG cast or crew on working on that episode didn't notice the plates and take advantage. Or think for one moment about the potential consequences and remove the plates.

In my humble opinion they got what they deserved. There's something enjoyable about this to me because I rather enjoy watching snotty loudmouth cocks meeting with instant justice. Not just the BBC issuing a half-ass apology on in small print on page 32 of The Telegraph just underneath the tide schedules.
