Clarkson on Top Gear won a "challenge" (each of them had to buy a car  
for 500 pounds and complete various tests with it, like getting to a  
stadium without breaking down, a point off for each electrical device  
that didn't work, a hot lap of their test track etc.)

Despite breaking down several times, having a horrible lap time,  
numerous dead accessories, etc... he won because the last test was "a  
point for every pound under 500 you spent."  He bought his Volvo 760  
for 1 pound because the "mains" dealer would otherwise have to pay a  
hefty fee to have the car recycled.
