MINI in the Olympics
Not that there was any doubt this would happen, watching the Olympics live stream and MINI is there.

Not sure if it is ok to post here, but you can get to it through Jalopnik.
Don't download the software, just hit the x's.

It's part of the Opening Ceremony, with other quintessential British cultural things such as Chariots of Fire, Mary Poppins, & Mr. Bean. The ongoing commentary from my English friends is very positive about the proceedings, and they're a hard lot to please.
The Mini will certainly be seen when we get the time delayed broadcast on NBC.

This old computer has been freezing up every time I try to live stream the Opening Ceremony, so it looks like I'll just have to wait for NBC at 7:30.
I would love to see Her Majesty drive a MINI bearing the Olympic torch into the stadium!

I quite liked the entrance she did make, despite there being no MINI involved.

Oh, no those are pics of the special edition Olympic mini. I think they made 2012 of them for Euro.
The pics of Nigel are in the image below you can click in my signature file.
Cheers!
