Looking at that pic, it looks like it is parked outside Mappin & Webb on St Anns square in Manchester centre. I often park there for 5 mins when I need to nip right into the centre for a sandwich or something.
Loads of nice cars stop there for 5-10 mins, I'll bet that warden was waiting until he was 1 second over the time limit before he pounced thanks to the fact its a Veyron.
There aren't any double yellows by the way, it's labelled as loading only. So most people get a quite a bit of grace there.
As for those cheering. Losers.

I can think of at least 800,000 ways to better spend the money. It's just a car, an expensive one at that. Pinnicle in automotive design, are you paid by Top Gear/BBC per chance? Yeah, it will be a piece of history alright!
I couldn't give a rats **** about the "owner" leaving it out for public gaze! Tosser!
My uncle, worth about 40 mil, drives....a Honda! It's no wonder he's worth 40 mil..eh?

Klaatu..... you may not of realised this, but I do not think the person who owns the car was thinking 'do I buy this car or feed my children'...... the 800,000 better things you mention, well, you may find he/she already has 750,000 of them.
They parked illegally and got a ticket...... but the people willing to cheer and clap (assuming it was not staged) and be caught on camera doing need to have a good look in the mirror

just cos you can afford an expensive car doesn't mean you are above the law.

I wouldnt cheer but I would be glad to see any car ticketed if its causing inconvenience or obstruction. Its like the video of the Lambo blasting down a tight London street that crashes, ok its a Lambo but I would be equally glad to see the driver get comm uppance for inconsiderate and dangerous driving whatever it was.
I do think the cheering was a jealousy response, perhaps those with the will but not the bottle to run their keys down it

Whilst i do not know whos it is and frankly do not even care, so what if simon cowell has one, to cheer would be ok then. whilst i am not a fan of cowell he has made his money through determination and talent - his own and spotting other peoples so what is wrong with that.
shame a few more people do not get off of their ***** and try.

Oh, and congratulations on your imminent multi-millionaire status. Just be careful where you park that helicopter
Chill mate

It's amazing that a liitle post like this can lead to someone owning a Veyron being called a tosser (jealousy perhaps),pointing out that it can't be used sensibly around town,an arrogant person getting their comeuppence (no one cheers when a white van illegally parked is ticketed are they not as arrogant then?).

Not for the first time either, this time in Alderley Edge...
Looks like a bus stop so thoroughly deserved that time, unlike in the centre of town.

Isnt this the guy who's brother crashed in the rally and killed a couple of OAPs......and then got done in the UK for using false plates on his 911?
I get confused though.....maybe he is a single mum rushing back from Boots....you can never tell.

No....but if we devise ourselves a "shall we laugh at this bloke getting a ticket on a million pound car parked illegally" scale ..... this information would slide Oliver further towards the YES end than if he were called Harold, was 97 and fought on D Day.
