It won’t be for everyone. Indeed, if it doesn’t fare significantly better than its dismally performing predecessor, the DS 9, I might never see another one on the road. But that would be a great shame. Because while the oddly named DS No8 is hardly the most adventurously conceived of cars, it is wilfully individualistic to the point of esotericism, and what would the car world be without those heroic left-fielders valiantly championing the value of doing things differently? And, as a little bonus, it drives really nicely. Not especially quick, far less cushioned than its 1950s Citroën namesake and…

It is his ‘desire to win trophies’ that led him to the decision and on Man Utd, Ornstein added: ‘Manchester United also tried their best to…
Maximilian Chester’s 1990 BMW Z1 is not a keeper. “I would prefer one with a higher mileage because I want to drive and enjoy the car more,” he says. “For example, I’d have driven this one to the south of France a couple of times already but I’m reluctant to because much of its value is in its low mileage”. He’s got a point. His Z1 has done only 4000 miles, making it desirable to a collector. He says: “It was a French press car, which, surprisingly, doesn’t appear to have been used very much. It sold at auction with…

Liverpool’s frustration at the loss of Alexander Isak to injury is entirely understandable. That’s the only fair starting point, because frustration does sometimes make all of us irrational. So we get it. But the response of Liverpool-aligned pundits and journalists and their manager are at risk of sending football down a road where no good can come. Once you start measuring the unacceptability level of a tackle based on its outcome, you end up with a mess. Is Arne Slot right to be annoyed that he’s just lost a £125m footballer for the next few months? Absolutely. Is he right…
