Do these people have no morals

[bodgit]

These very rich people had parked their Koenigsegg CCXR one of only 6 ever made at £1.2m ( top gear version?) and Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce outside Harrods as you do to pop in to get your daily provissions when some stupid moronic traffic warden decided to get them clamped.
These rich people were providing the poor ordinary common people the chance to see cars of beauty. In my opinion doing a public service and look how they were treated.

What is this country coming to.

I dunno, if it is double yellowed lines out there, then if it was white van man, it would be hoorah!! lol, just think, I am sure it won't break the bank getting them unclamped, and if the guys damage the cars, sue them into oblivion!!

[reg]

i have to agree with DCM,the only people who should park were they like is an AMBULANCE!not some someone who cant be arsed to walk from a carpark

[SlowOne]

What a superb wheeze!! Park your supercar, get out and attach a large yellow clamp. At one stroke you have avoided the car getting nicked, and fooled the parking wardens into thinking that you already have a ticket!!

Since standard clamps don't stretch to those tyre sizes, and the clamps aren't marked with the clamper's number, seems to me that the driver's are clever, as well as rich!! Or maybe, they are just dummy clamps... or maybe just photoshopped...

You're right, do people have no morals these days!!! :D :D

I agree mate - them kind of cars shouldnt be clamped ever :thumbsup:

[bodgit]

No this is not a joke. Its for real as reported by the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-10810772

The council said £120 penalty charge notices were issued, but the cars were released for £70 each as the fines were paid within 14 days.
They must be normal size wheel clamps for the richer people,s cars:lol:

[Si Coe]

I suspect they have larger sized clamps for 4x4s and the like anyway.

As stated, end of the day they were parked in the wrong place. If I parked my car there, I'd have got clamped, so why should they be any different? The people with no morals here are the super rich who consider the rules don't apply to them like they do to us.

[RudeTony]

They got clamped because they bought great cars in STUPID colours

[phil c]

never mind that they have been clamped , what about the bloody horrid colour , when people become rich does good taste go out of the window ???

Nah rules shouldnt apply to the super rich.....

Whats the point in getting super rich if you hav to conform to the same rules as the peasants?

Spot on. :thumbsup:

[ghost2212]

I thought that them cars belong to the family/group that actually now owns harrods:woot:

[GRIFF55]

Those colours are awesome:thumbsup:, whats wrong with you guys???:lol:

[carlin]

I think they should be clamped like everyone else.

Why shouldit be one rule forbut for the other it's bloody joke get them CLAMPED.

Prob some sad acts with penis extension...........:p

[bodgit]

I never got clamped when I parked on double yellows in my mates land rover which had just come from the farm with fresh cow and pig muck all over the tyres. We just got a verbal warning "next time we wont be so lenient" they said

[T4miy4 Guy]

Love the colour reminds me of my old SC10 !

Traffic wardens gotta love erm :lol:

It gets worse, chap on GMTV said that the insides are done in the same colour, seats, carpets, everything:thumbdown:

[CHEVY]

if you have that sort of money you can afford to pay the fine it serves them right :thumbsup:

[BagofSkill]

The blue is the official colour of the Qatari Royal Family, who own the cars, and Harrods.

From Jalopnik:

"In April, the Qatari royal family forked over $2.3 billion to buy Harrods, the UK department store. Now they'll fork over $800 in fines (http://swns.com/qatari-royal-family%E2%80%99s-supercars-clamped-outside-harrods-290937.html) to remove boots from supercars (http://jalopnik.com/tag/supercars/) worth $2.3 million two family members illegally parked out front. Instead of taking advantage of the Harrods valet parking service — £8 ($16) for the first hour or £40 ($62) for 8-9 hours with an additional £50 ($100) charge to store a car overnight — two members of the Qatari royal family illegally parked their $1.8 million Koenigsegg CCXR and $500,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce outside the London department store last week.
Now they'll have had to fork over around £200 ($400) for a parking ticket and to get their cars unclamped. But we guess when your combined value is $5 billion and you bought London's most famous department store for $2.3 billion, it's not even chump change.
An onlooker said: "It's not every day you see cars like this, let alone watch them get clamped." We'd agree.

[shanks]

Yep

If i owned Harrods i park my motor right outside yellow lines or not

stuff the fines :thumbsup:

[ryanlownie]

They broke the law, they think they can (or quite possibly are so stupid they do not understand what double yellow lines are), rinse them for as much as possible. They won't flinch at $800 if they are buying cars worth over £1M, let alone Harrod's!

Make some money out of them!!!

[poopers]

Makes a mental note not to park my matching fluorescent pink Koenigsegg and Veyron SS outside of JE Spares :cool:

[Si Coe]

Yep

To be honest, if I owned Harrods and wanted to park outside, I'd buy a parking space. I'm sure for a large enough sum of money that could be arranged, and then no clamps.
Truth is these guys honestly don't believe the rules apply to them. Probably because in Qatar they don't.

[shanks]

Parking spaces are just like women after all......


Sometimes, all the good ones are taken, so, when no one is looking you have to stick it in a disabled one.

I know the place i drove past it on my way up from the m25 on my way to Mitchum the Alfa looked the bollocks

[topperj]

My wife and I parked there cause we couldn't be ar5ed to walk from the Car Park.

Sorry.

The cars were only available in 7 colours. The Blue is our Tuesday colour.

Tomorrow is Red I think. I#ll see what the driver brings around. ;)

Hmmm, my ex is disabled and a good looker.


Parking where you shouldn't means clamping and a fine regardless of who you are, unless you're the queen, pope or emergency services... And I'm not so sure about the pope.

Personally I'd clamp half my neighbours as they park across my gate and drive. A merc, scooby and bmw can all be found blocking access right now and the other weekend my mum went out in her car and I found someone parked on my drive. People with money have no respect for rules and should be taught that rules apply to all

[shanks]

Hhhmmm

my partner of 10 yrs and mother to my four yr old is registered disabled

Ok, I'll let you off then :p

My boss was telling me how I must be "useless to only be able to get a cripple and even then you couldn't keep her" and he's had several little digs at me about it.
So I'm quite defensive about the subject at the moment.
I'm not sure how I've managed to avoid hitting him yet :confused:

no worries pal I understand entirely - I have had plenty of stick over the yrs due to the mrs (she has fms) which means lots of pain - outwardly she looks normal so generally people don't believe she has a problem
