Searching Autocar's online archive for 'DS8' just now didn't bring up the latest posh Stellantis model as I'd hoped. (That would have taken the more accurate 'N°8'). Instead it pulled up a story about the Maybach DS8 Zeppelin, a German-made, V12-engined luxury car from the 1930s.

This ‘80s sports car is just my cup of coffee
According to reviewers of the early 1980s, the boot in the rear-mid-engined Mk1 Toyota MR2 was barely big enough for a couple of soft bags. So how come MR2 owner Sere Zhang has managed to install coffee-making facilities in hers?

Why I love... CAR FACTORIES
Heading into BMW’s factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the tour guide asked if it was my first time in a car factory. Errr, no. Working for Autocar, I've spent a fair chunk of time donning ill-fitting high-viz jackets and other safety kit before traipsing through all manner of industrial facilities. The guide nodded, then asked: “Do you ever get bored of them?” I wasn’t being polite when I answered: “Absolutely not.”

Why I love... DISNEY'S CARS
Cars was the first film we took my younger brother to see in the cinema, and he loved it so much that we had to go back and watch it another three times. So I suppose I have him to thank for my Lightning McQueen mega-fan status.
