Clarkson is a shameless shill for the UK's Road and Transport Lobby.
He has no talent for the jobs the media keep handing him, and his most
famous skill is putting his foot in his mouth on a regular basis.
How the **** he ever got a second season on Top Gear is beyond me, as is
his now established fan base. No accounting for human behaviour I suppose.

If they handed the program over to Hammond, it'd be the program it could
have been, without a pig-ugly talentless mutant like Clarkson getting in
the way.
Not that I'm biased or anything, you understand... ;\

Top Gear is entertainment - it is not a serious autro show. It is full of
pranks.

You imply we will be able to compress air to contain more energy than the
energy of the fuel used to compress the air?
It's not April Fools day. Maybe we could harness ghosts to help push the
vehicle. This could offer even higher apparent efficiencies...well over
100%.. This has been quite popular and Haunts County

The goal/advantage would be to pressurize the air so
the its energy density would be greater than the
fuel source that it replace. When this is accomplished
one can achieve the ultimate reward - a high density
energy source coupled with an extremely efficient,
simple and reliable engine/motor .
