Malaysia’s prestigious 12-hour endurance race - the Petronas Primax 3 Merdeka Millennium Endurance (MME) - runs its ninth edition at Sepang Circuit this week; drawing 102 cars, 306 drivers and more than 1,000 team officials and crew members in what could perhaps be its last race in a 12-hour format.
An uncle of mine used to own a Mini Traveller. Now, don't give me that look. Even as a kid, it was definitely not one of those cars I would drool over every time I see it, even if you stuck one of those transformable Transformers logo to the car (you know, the one on their toys that change color when you rub it?). If you can't even impress a kid, you can't impress anyone else, is what my marketing lecturer used to say. In the company of the Mini Cooper Clubman however, the story swings in a different direction altogether, thanks to its unique split rear doors, and the ubiquitous club door aka suicide door alone are guaranteed to generate a lot of "oohhhs" and "aahhs" (even from my marketing lecturer) and of course, looks of envy from passer-bys and your own family members.

Honda will continue to focus on Thailand as an export hub for its vehicles while production in Malaysia remains solely for the domestic market.
This was stated by Asian Honda Motor Co Ltd president and chief executive officer Fumihiko Ike during the launch of the second-generation Honda Jazz at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on August 20.
Ike said it was not feasible to export Honda cars from Malaysia due to the small production volume.
