Money can't buy you a parking space: £1million Bugatti owner lands parking fine

A traffic warden was stunned to be greeted with raptuous applause instead of the usual venom when she stuck a parking ticket on a £1million Bugatti Veyron.
Crowds of shoppers clapped and whooped as the female warden placed a £60 fine on the flashy vehicle, which had been parked illegally in Manchester city centre over the weekend.
The vehicle, which does 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, was also ticketed in Alderley Edge, Cheshire - famous for its many footballer residents - last year.

The rich owner, wearing jeans, trainers and a Gio Goi hooded top, returned to his car to find an audience watching and sheepishly took the ticket off his window and drove off.
The awaiting crowd were expecting to see a celebrity return to his car and were disapointed it was just an unrecognisable millionaire.
Last year, music mogul Simon Cowell splashed out £750,000 for a Bugatti Veyron, which is recognised as the world's most expensive and street-legal car.
