If you’re Asian like I am, and you do not travel with an entourage of 20 bodyguards, being spotted with a Louis Vuitton suitcase is not a glamourous thing. Half the time, people would assume you’ve scored yourself a good deal in a Grade A imitation store in Shanghai or something.

A sneak peak of what I’ve learnt in my recent MINI Cooper Driver Training in Sepang, Malaysia. More news to come in a bit.
