Determined motorist attempted to drive off with wheel clamp attached to his car

A minicab driver who fell foul of parking rules tried to drive off with a wheel clamp attached to his car.



The car was parked in a restricted bay outside the Park Tower hotel in Knightsbridge, London, when it was spotted by wardens.



The front wheel was clamped and a sticker placed on the window. The driver struggled to move his car as onlookers mocked his efforts.

Contains lots of NSFW language.

Eventually a helpful passer-by explained to him that the clamp was attached to his front wheel and that he was in danger of damaging his vehicle.

Reminds me of the episode of The Simpsons when Homer goes to NY, his car gets clamped and he drives off with the clamp still attached to his wheel

(Son of) Svengoolie was a horror movie host out of Chicago in the 80's; he's now national with a weekly hosting. Back in the early 80's, he put together this ditty on the "Denver Boot," as it was called at the time:

There's a whole lot of history and many "in" jokes about the original Svengoolie and the Son of, and there are many videos of Sven doing monster-related and Chicago-related parodies of songs. If you're interested, just youtube search for "Svengoolie".
