We'd even keep the spirit of the Top Gear name, calling it instead, Third Gear.
That's right, because cruising around in 3rd gear is economical.

Third Gear would give the Top Gear guys the chance to adopt a new image: greener, more caring, willing to slow down for old ladies crossing the road and perhaps even to stop to help the odd cyclist mend a puncture.
Only a few months ago I stopped to help change someone else's wheel on their car. When was the last time you saw someone with a broken down bicycle changing their tyre?!

Jeremy Clarkson would "test drive" a range of new "shopper" bicycles and assesses the advantages of front basket over rear rack. He takes a trip to his local organic food store and stocks up on green lentils, brown rice and mung beans before stacking them carefully on his bike for the journey home along traffic-calmed Liverpool Road in north London. Once he arrives, he measures the amount of lentils, rice and beans left in the bags before cooking himself a nutritious meal.
Actually I would quite like to see Clarkson ride a bicycle

The presenter would begin to appreciate considerate behaviour from motorists, and be pleasantly surprised by the comfortable, value for money journey he provides for his passengers.
Erm...?

taking a Brompton folding bicycle from his home in the Cotswolds to Westminster Station
Does he mean cycle this distance or get a train?

One of the Top Gear boys would drive from London to Paris in a Smart Car, while his colleagues try out the Eurostar train and a plane journey. On arrival at the Eiffel Tower, they all fill large balloons with gas to represent the amount of carbon dioxide their journeys have pumped into the atmosphere. Green halos to the Smart Car driver and train passenger.
Would you include all the CO2 exhaled by the people in this figure? How about the CO2 produced powering the train? What about the plane? Hang on, are you now saying that cars are good for the environment? If you were comparing it to the CO2 produced by a plane I bet you could drive over in a 1960's muscle car and produce less per person.

Another presenter spends a week living in a flat alongside the commuter racetrack that is the A40 Westway in London. He comes out with a headache on the 7th day and stops a motorist at random with a list of alternatives for making the journey. The driver finally agrees, under the stare of the cameras, that the next day he will catch the train from Oxford or look at the daily coach service. Presenter takes two aspirin and heads home to recover.
Get double glazing.

Have someone join a police mobile speed camera unit on a dangerous section of the A1 in North Yorkshire. As the police wave drivers into the lay-by, presenter approaches to gently remonstrate with the speeders and sign them up for an advanced driver safety course. Later he joins a demo which 3,500 people lie on the road (which his new police friends have kindly closed off) to represent the total death toll on Britain's roads each year.
Would this be next to the pile of 10,000 who dies from MRSA each year & the 10,000 from medical blunders?
What a bunch of arse.
So what planet do the people from trany 2000 come from?
Ok, things like improving the public transport system is a good thing, but from what i've seen they just spout a load of catch phrases and offer no solutions.
That's only for the semi good ideas they have,(And those I can count on one hand with a couple of fingers removed!). The rest is complete and utter bullS**t with a little nonsensical jabbering for good meassure.
