11/07/04 : Jeremy tests the Spyker C8 Spyder, while Richard and James try their hand at minicabbing and road test two new MPV's - the Renault Scenic and the Ford C-Max. This week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Lionel Richie.

Yes I was very surprised about that...maybe they could have Michael Jackson on next.

Yep that would be good indeed...but not quite sure how many viewers would know about JW.

I wonder what that is going to be like. I read about his test of the Spyker a while ago in the editorial of Autovisie and I know JC told the people from Spyker that he thought it was a great car. He also brought a replica of a painting of one of the Dutch masters to use in the item. Still, Spyker is not sure what JC is going to say about it on TV. They stated that they want to see it before they'll believe it. The thing is that the Spyker still needs to be developed further to make it into the car it should be and Spyker fears the car might get slagged regardless.

Lionel Richie... Never really heard his music, but almost the only star in a reasonably prized car I've heard of...

And the Spyker is a a beatiful looking car :D

Is it just me, or was the Spyker's body stolen from Maserati?

Yeah, you just know he's gonna say "Owwww" when he hits the stack of tyres at the follow-thru...

Mihai, there may be some similarities in the shape of the headlights, but believe me, if you see them both in the flesh, they're very different.

Good to see Top Gear back! I wonder what Jeremy will say about the Spyker too. It'll probably end up on the uncool board since it's too loud.

You never know with JC. He might like it or he might trash it on the basis of a silly detail. Should be great anyway. First time I get to see a review of this car.

Mr. Richie, now that's a surprise. Is he coincidentally on tour in Britain or something?

I don't think MJ's old enough to have a license, mentally that is. It's not cuz he knows how to play with his ...thingy... that he know what the "stick" is really for? Does he even have enough money to buy 1 now? Seriously tho, does he even owns a car he drives??

Spyker- cool, can't wait to see it
MPV's- blah blah blah, I'd have more fun stabbing my brain with a Q-tip. Hopefully Clarkson will make it hilarious.
Minicabbing- Whats that? LOL, is that anything like Spooning? :wink:
Lionel Richie- cool, at least it's not his daughter. She sucks and so does that show she does with Paris "The Slut" Hilton.

That is what I thought at first. When I looked at it I thought WTF? It looked like some new Maserati car. It sounds awsome though I've seen a little review on it. Wasn't it inspired by a plane?
