Back in 1994, when BMW bought the Rover Group, the acquisition included other auto names such as Triumph, Morris, Austin and Riley. Basically, these other auto brands were from the British Leyland Group and they eventually changed their name to the Rover Group in the 1980s.

BWM sold the Rover name in 2000 but they kept the rights to the Triumph and Riley brands. Triumph was a British car and motor manufacturing company and they were known for their small sized roadsters such as the Spitfire. Recently, BMW has applied for a European trademark on the Triumph

    Attendees to this latest Mycarforum hangout event with Omoda got up close to the E5 and Jaecoo J7 and got a few tips on driving an electric car in Malaysia.

    Still learning to let go

    I believe that you need to let go of things in life to make room for new experiences. It sounds hypocritical coming from a former hoarder like me, but it is quite possibly the most important lesson I've learnt these past two years. Decluttering or tidying up is cathartic. That's why I feel clearing out your house can improve your life. Like many, I discovered this before moving into my BTO, as my better half and I attempted to clear out our guest room. Horrifyingly, it had become 'The
