    Guess we'll have to wait for the video that photographer shot...

    Found these, taken July 9, the day the Olympic Flame visited the MINI plant:

    A large image of a Mini is seen at the car making plant in Oxford, western England July 9, 2012. German carmaker BMW will invest 250 million pounds ($388 million) over the next three years to increase capacity at the British manufacturing plants where it makes the Mini.
