[Closed] Tit of the week award.....

Deary me!
RM.

If i drove THAT car, i'd WANT someone to come and take it away........

Could the police not arrest him for [s]just being a nob[/s] causing a disturbance or something?

I'm sure whichever female friend he's borrowed the car from will be a tad annoyed if they don't get it back.

"Drinkers from the Sun on the Hill have come over the road, they're singing to the car, police attempting to move them on.

He's in for a lively night, I reckon.

Matthew Sanders, 34, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, said he had spent £270 to get his car on the road and could not afford the costs if it was impounded.

But I have to agree that why not just let him have the car back, he's got a fine to pay already - who would want all the impound costs?

And 'Police' in presence - stop wasting time and money; either arrest him or tell the tow truck driver to give him back his car.

What a tit, he needs to learn that actions have consequences.

Perhaps it might help if somebody just slapped him?

Thing is though, he does sound like he's in the right (ish).

Yes, he's got to pay the fine which he's done - according to him.

However, it appears the council are wrong to have tried to impound his car.....

*Was expecting more Hora content*

🙂

br how will that help. he got a ticket, time pasted before the tow truck came so he was not there for a quick 5 min we need to see the timeline. so let him off then you will have to do it for everyone. if you cannot pay the fine don't commit the crime. hes a knob and now he is going to pay, he may also find himself getting costs from the towing company for the time the truck is held up.

No sympathy from me. If you park in a disabled bay, your a ****.

Thing is they won't unload the car with him in it but he won't get out because he thinks they'll just drive off. Mexican stand off.

Yes, he's got to pay the fine which he's done - according to him.

He says he's not disputing it, I've not seen anywhere yet that claims he's paid it.

Out of interest, where's the tow truck parked?

The Eye of the Tigra
By gazuky on December 23, 2014
Rising up, on the back of the truck
Parked illegally, took my chances
Went the distance now I’m locked in my car
Just a man and a bottle full of wee

I’ve travelled far – from Macclesfield
Parked my car where I wanted
Now I’ve realised I’ve made a mistake
So I’m going to sit here like a child

I’m up high in my Tigra in the dead of the night
Risin’ up on the back of a low-loader
And if they don’t back down I’ll be here all night
And I’ll be watching you all from up high – in my Tigra

Face to face, out in the street
Needing the loo, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds, still I sit in my car
Even though my battery’s no longer live

I’m up high in my Tigra in the dead of the night
Risin’ up on the back of a low-loader
And if they don’t back down I’ll be here all night
And I’ll be watching you all from up high – in my Tigra

The tow truck looks like its parked on a single yellow.

This is laughable.

If he's right & that's IF..

There's lot of you being idiots.

According to him his car should only have been towed if the car had been there in excess of 8 hours, according to him it was less than 15 minutes.

The council are the ones being out of line, although he should never have parked in the bay in the first place & deserves to be penalised for that.

He doesn't deserve to have his car impounded as according to the regs the council had no right to do it!.

But, hey don't let the facts (alleged) get in the way of a good rant.

DISCLAIMER: If he proves to be wrong I'll be the first to light the fire!

I've not seen anywhere yet that claims he's paid it.

His words I heard on R5 about 10 minutes ago.

No sympathy from me. If you park in a disabled bay, your a ****.

Even if you're disabled? That's a bit off!

Is that Hora?

Matthew Sanders admitted parking in disabled bay every day for 2 weeks

Bravo at eye of the Tigra 🙂

(and agree with Mr Lebowski's reasoned and non-sweary assessment)

I hope he and his car have a very pleasant Christmas in Birmingham.

They just interviewed this guy on the radio,tow truck people have gone home for the night and he's going to it there all night apparently,he's clearly a tit for parking in the disabled bay and its good he got caught /fined,but why do they take the car away? cant he just pay the fine and be on his way(looking like a complete tit),seems petty.

Lets just go over, drag him from the car, break both his legs, and let him off the whole thing, what with him being disabled now and everything. Sounds like a fair course of action to me!

according to him it was less than 15 minutes.

Bloody hell, tow trucks are fast in Brum!

my personal feelings are that if you park in a disabled bay you should be disabled when you leave.

If he isnt then break his legs.

A policeman was filmed attempting to pass the driver a copy of the legislation allowing councils to remove illegally parked cars, but Mr Sanders apparently refused to take it, according to the officer.

Interesting point...

That's a picture to make a mother proud.

Must be one of those #hardpressedmotorists

To be fair, I can't imagine the photographer/editor chose a photo that would be in danger of him looking reasoned.

"Can you just poke your head out of a slightly open window as if you are being trapped by the council?"

"That's it, lovely. Bye"

I'd have needed the loo by now.

That glorious moment went you open a thread convinced it must be me to find its not.

Phew

There'll be a point at about 2am tonight when he's trying to get to sleep when he's going to bitterly regret not getting a nice sensible estate and following his grandad's advice and having a blanket in the back and a flask of hot lemon.

Will that be when the pubs and clubs are all "chucking out" too?

They should make him a permanent 'installation' to swell the Christmas crowds...

😀 It's going to be ace - like when David Blaine decided to spend all those days in a box and quickly became the default object of abuse for every drunk in London.

I reckon he's in for some "banter" at pub kicking out time 🙂

I imagine it will be like the Berlin airlift all over again with plucky brits launching half eaten kebabs over the ring of steel to keep him going. 😀

Hee heee...just a bit! This is one of the few times I wished I was living back in Brum and spending a night out on the town.

 

On the bham newspapers website his car has just been realeased from the tow truck.

The power of shaming him on Singletrack forum worked.

Booo! They should have just left him there all night.
