Brand new Range Rover parked last week near my office for 3 days in meter bay and collected three tickets

This week It's back another three tickets

Seemingly at three tickets wardens ask for tow wagon

Even the NCP 100 yards away is not that expensive!

I knew a guy who always did that, he bought a Range Rover because the wardens truck couldn't lift it. He then got an invoice from his brothers garage saying it had broken down.

Wasn't there a guy in glasgow who used to do this with his ferrari in the centre of town? Then he bought a massive Dodge Ram thing so it couldn't be towed. Seem to remember his surname being love?

Indeed - is he still in Bothwell? What's he driving these days? I used to see him in Bentleys and his dodge a few years back.

He had a Phantom too, I doubt they could have lifted that either

I did a quick search and it's amazing how many companies he's been involved with that have subsequently dissolved. Must have made the money somehow! Didn't he own Stone & Wolff?

He made his money in property iirc, claimed that his phantom was too big to park in buchanan galleries, etc (which to be fair is probably accurate) so parked where he wanted.

There used to be a load of high end exotica parked about the streets of Glasgow showing disabled badges, these all seem to have disappeared of late though.
