emerged an even more offensive number

The presenter angered locals by seeming to reference the Falklands war on his personalised number plate.

And the Top Gear team were apparently so scared by the reaction they abandoned the car near the Chilean border for fear of being stoned to death.
But the BBC have confirmed Clarkson had an even more offensive number plate within the vehicle, which spelled 'BE11 END'.
A local official is said to have told the Mirror: "We regard it as another insult to the Argentinian people."
The term is popular among the Top Gear presenters.

A BBC spokesperson said: “The number plate was not used at any
point during the filming. It was originally intended to be in the
programme’s final scene, a game of car football, but that ending has
changed.”
They added the gaffe, one of many of late for Clarkson, did not affect his future on the hit BBC show.
Clarkson was nearly sued for £1 million after an actress accused him of racism when he referred to an Asian man as a "slope" during a Burma Special in March.
In February he made a public statement after it was claimed he used the n-word in an unedited broadcast of the show. He denied using the racial term and said he was "horrified" at the allegations.
The show came under fire again in December 2010 when they allegedly called Mexicans "lazy, feckless and flatulent".
And in 2005 Clarkson appeared to make a mock Nazi salute.
While the crew were in Argentina Clarkson and his fellow presenters James May and Richard Hammond admitted to hiding under their hotel beds to escape an angry mob.
