George Mienie reports back on what he considers to have been his best trip to America in 7 years.

OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and the Competition Commission are on a collision course in South Africa - this one could be interesting. And Elon Musk is not happy with Bill Gates after his comments regarding electric vehicles.
