After hurled rocks and 'faggot' insults, BBC Top Gear crew flees Argentina

In the video, repeated shouts of "Puto" (faggot) can clearly be heard. Despite a police escort, Top Gear (a popular BBC auto series) presenter Jeremy Clarkson and his co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond were pelted by rocks and bricks by "thousands" of angry Argentinians.
     A Porsche, Lotus Esprit and Ford Mustang were abandoned by the side of a road. Argentinian media quoted a Top Gear crew member as saying,“We’re leaving them here; we don’t want any more problems. Set fire to them if you like.”
     The crew hired a local fixer, but he was beaten up.



     The ruckus started over a British license plate, "H982 FLK" on the Porsche Clark and his crew drove down the 1,350-mile Patagonian Highway. Natives claimed the plates refer to the 1982 Falklands war between the UK and Argentina, which did not end well for Team Americas, in no small part because Ronald Reagan was conspiring with Margaret Thatcher against Argentina.
     The chief of the Falklands veteran center in Rio Grande (which has declared the Top Gear crew personae non grata), Cesar Gonzalez, called the plate an “outright provocation” and "a mockery to us all.”
     Clarkson said the lettering of the plate was just a coincidence. Even Brits, especially the Daily Mirror, are not entirely convinced of this, as Clarkson has a history of provoking locals and viewers and is on final warning from the BBC.
     Clarkson told Autoblog that if he makes "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time," the BBC will fire him.
     Then he tweeted the following blast about the 1982 Falklands war:

     Clarkson insisted that the license plate imbroglio was "not a jolly jape that went awry", that "for once we did nothing wrong", and that "They threw us out for the political capital. Thousands chased crew to border. Someone could have been killed."
     Here is how the Buenos Aires Herald described the event:

     Officials said a crowd of about 50 people began hurling stones at members of the BBC production team Thursday night as they drove in a caravan under police escort to the Chilean border in the southernmost province of Tierra del Fuego.
     Host Jeremy Clarkson and the others were forced to abandon the cars in an area between Tolhuin and Río Grande. One minor injury was reported and images showed broken windows and other damage to the cars, which were taken into police custody.

Run Jezza, run!

     After the attack, the crew’s vehicles were abandoned on the shoulder of Route 3 within the perimeter of the Patagonian districtof Río Grande, where the team was previously labelled as persona non grata.
     Following the intervention of local authorities, the British crew finally managed to get to Chile through the seldom-used Radman border crossing. Tierra del Fuego’s Minister of Coordination Sergio Araque decided to escort them with a security detail to the neighbouring country in order to ensure their safety.

Noted The Guardian, in respect of Clarson's priors:

     One edition of the BBC2 programme shot in Burma and broadcast earlier this year was found to be in breach of Ofcom’s broadcasting code for using a racially offensive term, following a viewer complaint.
     The ruling came three months after Clarkson was forced to apologise over footage in which he appeared to use another racist term as part of an old nursery rhyme during filming.
     Top Gear has previously been criticised for unflattering depictions of Albanians, Romanians, Germans and Mexicans.
