    thats horrible to see !!!

    How can they do that to the car - honestly !!! (is there any chance they did it simply because it was a veyron)


    Safe to say the owner can afford the unclamp fee.

    Who'd park their Veyron out on the street?

    Probably because he was parked where he shouldn't be.

    Sure where else would he park it? Fair play to him for not hiding it in a glass case!

    Fair play to him for driving it around but I certainlt wouldn't be parking a car worth a million out on the street where it could be vandalised. If it were me i'd only drive it places where I could safely park it.

    Sure if you can afford it then it's not much of a deal to you I assume.
    There are only a few cars that I wouldn't like on the street. Classics for example that damage could render them worthless.
    A new panel or two from Bugatti would hardly affect resale on one of those, but imagine a half destroyed Ferrari Daytona or something like that.

    +1. Not much point in buying a car if you can't afford to drive around in it.

    Each wheel is about 12,500 euros to replace - If I was the clamper I'd be more worried about damaging them that anything else.

    At the end of the day, it's just another car getting clamped - i'm sure the clampers are insured.

    One EXTREMELY brave clamper.

    Considering that the car is in Slovakia/Slovenia, it might not be much of a stretch to imagine that the owner might be a quite powerful person....

    I wouldn't clamp that for fear of having my own legs clamped in concrete before being thrown into a river.

    Yeah cos if you can successfully break into then start a Veyron, you'd never find a way around a clamp with a padlock......

    Looks like a ticket has been left on the windscreen.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
