Recently, Datuk Lee Chong Wei, a Malaysian professional badminton player, wed his girlfriend of 11 years, Datin Wong Mew Choo. As a sport car lover, Lee ensured that his wedding entourage is no less impressive than his Olympics achievements. From the video, his wedding entourage consists of a couple of Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedans, Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, Lamborghini Gallardo and Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Even the traffic police was activated to ensure law and order during the wedding proceedings. The first sports car that Lee owned is the Nissan GT-R. By winning a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics, Lee was awarded RM 300,000 plus a life-long pension of RM 3,000 a month via the Malaysian government's Sports Incentive Scheme. In addition, The Star Media Group, a division of Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd, gave Lee RM100,000. Lee also won a silver media back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Lee's wife is also a badminton player who retired from the sport in 2011.

It is just a matter of months for the 2012 London Olympics to take place; Mini has released a limited edition of Olympics-inspired Mini Cooper. The cars will hit the road as early as March next year and Mini will only built 2012 units of it. The London 2012 Edition models will come in one of three Union Jack-themed colour schemes which are Chilli Red, White Silver or Lightning Blue. All three will feature white mirror caps, a white roof with the London 2012 logo, and a Union Jack stripe running over the bonnet, roof and rear of the car. The cars will also get specially designed grey 17-inch conical spoke alloy wheels, which are not available on any other model. Inside, a picture of the London skyline is etched across the piano-black dashboard, featuring landmarks like the Tower Bridge and the London Eye. And the patriotic theme extends throughout the cabin: the black leather seats get red, white and blue stitching, as do the headrests, handbrake and floor mats. All models feature extra options such as Lounge Leather sports seats, DAB radio, air-conditioning, cruise control, and chrome interior touches. Start-stop and brake regeneration also come as standard. These cars will be released in the UK and there is no word on whether will they be released overseas. Prices in the UK will start at
