No one says you can’t be loaded and a cheapskate. British boxer Chris Eubank could be the living example of that, after he was photographed using a fake parking ticket to avoid paying parking for his custom Bentley.
It happened in London the other day and, yes, it was captured on camera. Not wanting to put his Bentley in a public parking lot and definitely trying to avoid getting a fine, Eubank used what looks like a fake ticket to throw off wardens.
Eubank was seen pulling up in Savile Row, getting out of the car and putting a piece of paper in the windscreen of his £160,000 car. He then went inside Cad and Dandy, his personal tailors. When he came out, he removed the piece of paper from the car and went about his business, The Sun says.
One eyewitness says that the piece of paper resembled the tickets issued by wardens for illegal parking. In other words, Eubank, for all his money, was trying to make it look as if he’d already gotten ticketed, so as to avoid paying at all.
“It was definitely a yellow parking ticket wrapper, which might make a warden think twice before issuing a ticket,” says the eyewitness. “If he can afford to shop in one of London’s most fashionable streets, why didn’t he pay to park there?”
London is the city with the highest number of parking tickets issued every month, as compared to the rest of Britain. Some drivers of expensive supercars prefer to get ticketed for illegal parking and to pay the fine, than to have to fork considerably more money for repairs on their cars, should someone bang them in public parking spaces.
Clearly, Eubank doesn’t even fall in this category. He may be ranked fourth best British super-middleweight boxer of all time, but he doesn’t want to pay either for parking or the fines.
