I once had my credit card cancelled at the gas station. We were on a Mission trip to Mississippi post Katrina and I had the church credit card - filled up about 5 trucks at once - different pumps - credit card company said nope! (but then they allowed it)
In circa 2008 we did the Britcar when the Top Gear crew took part - not bragging (much!) but we lapped them over 60 times IIRC, though they had the best livery in the paddock
