Ticketed Zonda!

[bindit]

probably nothing new to the London area perhaps, but this Zonda S created a stir in Aberdeen today, the Traffic Warden said the make of car wasn't even in her machine!

Certainly drew a crowd when it got underway!

Be that a Focus RS next to it?

Why was the Zonda given a ticket?

Yes why the ticket? Looks like there are no visible signs of parking restrictions...are stationary hypercars against some local bye-law?

That and the front wheel of the XC90 is about to fall off!!

[Lucas]

pay and display?

Ticketed for displaying english plates / RFL. What's £30 for a days parking when you drive a car like that!?

Looks like permit situation - every car has a square wossname above the tax disc. Including the Zonda, but maybe it was there outside of permit hours or something.

Who knows

Ticketed for looking like a naff kit car, yet costing as much as a Knightsbridge apartment.
Criminal offence you know..

this area of aberdeen, golden square i think, is very exclusive, the parking here is a mixture of pay and display and residents only! going by the prices of some of the properties around there it probably belongs to a resident.
nice car though!

From the angle of roll it looks like its sliding on opposite lock...

That's our car - Rio Prestige. It's actually a hire car for our club members (the only Zonda on hire in the world!), but is currently being driven by the eccentric millionaire owner, who will no doubt deny the existence of the ticket - but now I have evidence! BUSTED. Thanks fellow PH'ers

You can view the details at www.rpmclub.co.uk.

One of only two Zonda's in Scotland I belive. The other one blongs to a local chap up Ellon way. Pitty I missed it, that would have been a hilarious sight!

Is it his car or you car then?

Are you saying he lends it out to your firm to rent out when he doesn't want it(how odd)?

[mattyboy101]

I assume that it is owned by the company, which then absorbs the running costs - and he has free usage when available.

Clever bloke!

If it is owned by them and they pay to run it what reason would they have to lend it to him for nothing? Or am I missing something obvious?
