Britain's automakers did a "Brexit" many years ago

They still build their cars in the United Kingdom, but virtually all of the automakers that started out in Britain are now owned by parent companies around the globe. Find out who owns what in my "Rearview Mirror" column at the National Post (Driving.ca).

Programming the new Mini Rocketman - how cool is this?

This is the Mini Rocketman, a new concept car that the company will debut in Geneva next month. It's approximately the size of the original Mini and has all kinds of features, like a rear hatch that opens conventionallyor like a drawer, and seats that you can move around.

But the neatest is the centre controller, which you can take out of the car, into the house and plug into the computer. From there, you download your navigation information, cram in your music and migrate all of your telephone contacts. Then you take it back out to the car, pop it back into the dash, and off you go. Now just how cool is that?
