Don't be a tightass...

[mischief1]

'cause this is what can happen to you if you don't spend a few $$ on parking.

photo was taken in the wilson carpark opposite the Perth Train Station, costs like $100+ or something to get it off, was a funny ending to a top night :) not so for the owner...

[Ratus]

just a thought ive had with these things, as crazy as it might be, but if ur REALLY a tightarse, can u deflate the tyre and the thing wil slip off or am i crazy?

[DecipheR]

I was under the impression that these arnt even in use in Australia.

I was under the impression anyone not abiding by the law is towed immediately and others just recieve fines. I had a friend who was a parking inspector in Perth.
Things may have changed just curious if your sure

[MissenLinx]

Well if you think about it its cheaper to put one of those on a car then it is to hire a tow truck. I am guessing they would only tow your car if it was in a dangerous or spot where peopel have to go all the time.

i think ur right :P

[TJ]

nothing a grinder wont sort.

[Cake]

yeah is that padlock on there? just brick the fucker

ive seen a clamped wheel on a car at city west carpark during a weekday

[karag]

can't brick those padlocks.. if it's the one I'm thinking of it's almost bulletproof. My mate had them on his shed which had some old classic cars in it.

Have ne of u noobs even considered thinking that if u break or get out of one of those clamps, there most likely going to have ur number plate down. As much as its a good idea to get rid of it, u prolly find in a weeks time a big fat invoice... :flipa:

[CussCuss]

i have access to lots of power tools, jack hammers, big angle grinders OXY torches etc GOOD FUCKING LUCK keeping one of those on my car. But i dont think id park in that kind of area anyway.

wouldn't want to damage any hubcaps...


i didn't think these existed until i saw it that night, theres also some carpark up the road(william st) with a sign saying wheel clamps are used in that area.

oh well, perth is getting more ghettoooooo everyday, ive spotted shoes on powerlines lately.

[SikS4]

that same carpark tried to jip me
i went to pay more wen i planned to stay longer
the inspector there sed if i bort another ticket so both had a total value of the max $9 or whatever and leave both on my dash i wood be ok

got back to my car to find a $60 fine
no chance
i rote a letter and got it cancelled

[Random_Hero]

what if u got dishhhhed rims? how do they attach the clamp?
and what if they damage it are they liable?

[Nickevox]

saw some white commodore ute get one on saturday night, and always see about 5 a day at carpark opposite tafe

[sethor]

Looks like its just locked by a padlock would be a piece of piss to take off with 60" bolt cutters.

[Cold Fusion]

or they keys to the lock. :P

[HotAe92]

They can fucken damage them as much as they want, dont care, I DIDN'T BUY THEM... plus they look better that steel rims.

[SimonR32]

na, those are some pretty bling wheels, wouldn't want them getting nicked. :p

[BASSULA]

the reason for the clamping is because wilson car parks is a PRIVATE company and does not have access to rego/address details... so you may get away with it untill they find your car and clamp it till you pay to get it off and they get there cash.. iirc it is about $110 to get the clamp of your car..

cheers

[Adsport]

we got clamped once in northbidge after regular thursday night pub meet up, went to dominoes with cars parked over the road out front of auto masters ( i think it is ) and couple minutes after some cops ( who parked on the sidewalk ) walked in and ordered their food, piss off and came back again. the pizzas are on the live screen with a countdown of 10 minutes, we got ours and walked over the road ( had started to rain ) and these two guys were clamping out 5 cars so we got all shitty while getting soaked to be told it would cost $95 per car to get them off !! They reckon they got the call from a couple of cops ( how co incedental ) and said they had been there for over 20 minutes before they started clamping , which was total BS.

the clamps hook around the wheel i dont think you could get them off by deflating your tyres. the only way to get them off is grinding the single arm or to get the padlock off.

note i do carry bolt cutters in my boot now.

by the way, they are private clamping company subcontracted by the perth city council, and have mobile eftpos even.
