To launch the Mini Countryman, which is a kind of 4X4, BMW threw a party that started on a boat. Relevant fashion types were boated on a Thames Clipper from Millbank pier to Greenwich, where the group was met by a Routemaster bus and taken to a secret location. Said location turned out to be a farm with real sheep and lots of new cars to oggle at - see one pictured posing in front of the branding board. After a BBQ we were treated to a performance by Timberland, which was amazing.
