Conrad Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Just wondered if it were possible? It sounds really daft to ask but I've been looking at getting a wheel clamp for security but they're all too small. My front wheels are 235 wide and back are 265 wide and most clamps are only 220 wide. Just wondered if the invinceble Sup could withstand those nasty clampers!

edd_t Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 havnt had the Supe clammed. but my MG has 235's on, and that got clamped once. its had chains that the clamper wraped around the suspension and padlocked together. no idea where you would get such a thing though.

toyotasuprauk Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 No personally but I remembers someone on here saying his Supra was clamped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Do a search for PJB Gates security. He makes them for the clampers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Culture Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Needed to pop into Kingston earlier this year in my RX (which Ive sold now for my Supe!).... Only wanted one thing, so chanced it in a private car park. Sure enough, came back literally 90 seconds later and there were two ar*eholes, sorry, 'wardens', trying to clamp my car. They were sitting on the floor with a somewhat puzzled look, as; A> The car was lowered and they couldnt get their fat grubby hands round the wheel and B> their poxy little chain wouldnt have fitted anyway! Praise the Lord for lowered modified cars! Ha ha ha! Andy P.S. Here is the offending wheel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I've been clamped but nothing spesh re wheels just 17s, but they are able to cope with 4x4s etc, so why not supes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Culture Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Quality, this was what I was on about. Would love to have seen their faces! Must admit, I had a pretty decent chuckle once I recovered from the panic that had set in with potentially losing money to those scumbags! Dont think they quite saw the funny side though!

Pete Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I wonder where they'd stand if they damaged your wheels trying though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub_Culture Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 From memory, they would have to pay for any damages. not sure what legal rule this would come under, but its still a crime to damage someone's property, regardless of if it's on someone else's.

Kopite Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Sub - did you get off then? what happens if you come back before the clamp's on? Can they stop you from driving off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I *think* I remember a story about this..... someone got clamped and managed to deflate the tyre and remove it. They then took it to the police station (undamaged) and handed it in as lost property. The clamping firm had no legal basis to complain as no damage was caused to their property.

Darren-K Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 if they try and stop you then they are arresting you and illegal parking is a non arrestable offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
