It sometimes pays to go low

I must share this with you….

A few weeks back I went to visit an old friend of mine, we were going to have lunch and do a spot of shopping.

Anyway I parked my cabrio in what I thought was a reasonable spot in town (there were other cars close by) and we went off to have lunch…

When we returned some time later, to my suprise there were a group of rather miffed looking peeps wondering around sighing.

Anyway, it turned out we were all parked in a clamping zone - needless to say no one saw any signs (bl**dy typical)

Every car (4 in total) had been clamped, all……..but mine!  

I couldnt beleive my luck and tried to work out why my old car had been left, and the others all clamped - maybe the phantom clamper felt sorry for my lill motor, or maybe they saw me park and felt sorry for me, or maybe they just had 4 clamps but maybe just maybe its coz their big yellow clamp couldnt fit around my tyre under the arch! (you cant even get a little finger between them) Who knows…

Needless to say I didnt wait to find out! *giggle*

what a shame that poor little clamper person didn't get all his money that day just because some inconsiderate being had a car they couldn't get a clamp on. their poor little sixteen children won't have had their portion of chips between them as they earn so little money

*makes mental note to see if cabby can go lower and still make the speed bumps if not must buy bigger tyres* :twisted:

I think mine is so low coz my suspentions fooked, that plus my 16' low pro's!

Poor Clamper - I had to laugh though! :lmao:

 good to hear a mk1 escaped getting clamped,  must be a mk1 thing. i had a parking ticket once so i wrote  in explaining how it wasn't my fault for being late back because girlfriend was with me and wanted to look in every shop which made me late, and i got let off the  fine.

i got clamped in doncaster, waited for the little man to come back, he said it was going to cost me ?80 , so i jumped in his car drove off and parked it up, went back my friend was in stitchs, i told the little man if he didnt take ti off i would take it off myself and he wud never c his car again, THE CHEAKY  DIDNT EVEN HAVE A RECOVERY TRUCK TO TAKE IT AWAY,  306 with whhel clamps in the boot, i stole them be4 i gave him his car back, oh he took it off, ps. the mate i was wit is 6.3 brick , im 5,7
