MINI Cooper continues to flaunt its Olympics partnership
Not many brands can boast an Olympics 2012 partnership, so it's no wonder that BMW-owned MINI is pulling out all the stops to show it's spashed a hell of a lot of cash to become an official sponsor of the games.

The car brand welcomed the Olympic Torch Relay to its production plant in Oxford - which will celebrate its 100 year anniversary next year - on Monday.

More than 4,000 people turned up to see the event unfold. Yes MINI, we know: you're an official Olympics sponsor. Gloat much?

Another Gloater: BT to open the doors to BT House at BT Live in the Park
Yet another company flaunting its Olympics partnership: this time, it’s BT. The firm has announced that it will open the doors to BT House at BT London Live Hyde Park, where a whole host of big name celebs will be performing (The Noisettes, Tinchy Stryder, Alex Clare et al).

BT House will give ordinary Joes like us the opportunity to win ticks to the games (including the closing ceremony!), as well as to rub shoulders with sporting legends and listen to live performances on the BT Vision stage.
