I also recall a report whereby a young whippersnapper, doing something
excessive on a motorway, was pulled over. He was asked, "Who do you
think you are, Nigel Mansell?" Which was indeed his name, although he
wasn't the NM of bushy moustache fame.

The story is told, with reasonable amounts of verification from some of
the people involved, of the car driven by Ayrton Senna, with Mauricio
Gugelmin in the passenger seat --- who was the McLaren test driver that
season --- being stopped on the way from Didcot to Heathrow. Ayrton
was, of course, asked ``Who do you think you are, Nigel Mansell?''. He
was not 'appy.
