Looks like i'm gonna have to say goodbye o my nova after only 3 weeks, left it off the drive for a day and when i got back it was clamped :mad: Can't afford the release fee so they're gonna have to take it. i've taken the engine though lol

[General Baxter]

[chimp007_uk]

undo the hub, put a new one on with a diff wheel lol

It's genius :)

[Spudly]

Drag it up onto your drive and block it in with another car and tell em to fudge off!

[Rob]

just strip it on the road side take the wheels off and leave it for them the look on thier faces will be priceless lol, theres been loads of clamped cars round here the dvla must be going through a faze

[MattBrown]

Surely your not letting them take it?

Get a Grinder out ffs

Or jack it up and drag it?

WIzzer?

Oxy assetalene?

Hammer?

Chisel and break the mechanism? There case hardened so will crack well!

Torch the car if the come for it?

(Im an enginnering apprentice:thumb:)

Gas axe?

Sledge hammer?

Or 4 bolts and undo the hub?
PAY THE FINE?

[General Baxter]

4 bolts lol

jack it up, undo the drop arm bolts, then undo the suspension bolts, pull, the drive shaft will pop out, throw all that away,

new shaft new hub, done lol


ooo got a crawl board? put the clamed wheel on that and push it back on the drive lol

[Awright90]

Thats how i got the engine out lol i don't wanna do that though, i couldn't afford the fine i'd get if i did it, i'll just have to buy a new one :(

[General Baxter]

eh, so you cant afford the £100 fine, but a new car ?

[Spudly]

How can you get a fine if the car aint there you plum follow the advice given and keep your car!

[Awright90]

i've left it up on bricks though, i'm gonna video it when they take it away and laugh at them

[MattBrown]

Address?

You must know someone who will help?

GRINDER?

In the middle of day, like tomorow, surely youre not being serious about leaving it?

[Awright90]

eh, so you cant afford the £100 fine, but a new car ?

I can't afford the new car either, i'm gonna have to save my cash for that, its gonna be a good few months

[MattBrown]

OMFG!

RETARD ALERT!

Keep the car, drag it, bang it, **** it, do whatever you have to do, if its gonna keep you on the bus and out of a car its worth going to extremes!

[BIGS]

Dont be a pussy and take the hub and wheel off!

[Awright90]

Well the car was up in whitworth rochdale on a mates drive, the clamps easy to get off its just the grand fine that comes with the clamp that i don't wuite like lol

[Spudly]

You only get a fine if you remove the clamp or damage it, it will still be attached to the wheel so you have not removed it:thumb:

[Awright90]

So if i left just the hub and clamp, i could get away with keeping the car?

[dave.gsi]

can't see why not, your not allowed to touch the clamp, so take the hub/ wheel off and leave the clamp undamaged, fit a few scrapyard parts and keep your car :thumb:

[Awright90]

lol thats a brilliant idea, i'm gonna have to do that tomorrow before they come for it, i'll have to push it onto the drive though lol

[Asa-James]

what size tyres are on the wheels? if they have a tall sidewall, let all the air out and you might just be able to squeeze a brace in between the clamp and wheel. remove wheel bolts, put the spare on, drive away!

done that in london with my astra van haha, then waited for the clampers, i put a post it note on the clamp with a smiley face, the big fat meathead nearly threw the clamp through the side of his van, was most pleasing.

i took pictures to show i didnt damage the clamp, not heard nowt lol :)

[Riggy]

yes i think its true that aslong as you dont damage the clamp there is nothing they can do lol ,

ps anyparts worth coming and getting of it lol

[blue_peg_16v]

dont know if the dvla rules are the same for tax but definatly if its for parking if you can remove the clamp without damage you are perfectly with in your rights and nothing further can be done

[Novaboi_1991]

what the f*ck is wrong with you!, a nova is at stake here!, id be out there now!

[stupot89]

[Awright90]

ps anyparts worth coming and getting of it lol

I think the dash and front bumper might be worth taking, they're both fine, my mate decided he'd kick the f**k out of the doors though, i told him not to aswel, i was gonna just leave the shell and take everything worth saving

Thats where it was clamped, even though it isn't a public highway apparently they can still clamp it.
