The booted Bugatti - click above for a gallery of before-and-after images
To their credit, the police in Slovakia evidently make no exceptions for €1.1 million supercars. There are supposedly two Bugatti Veyrons registered in the European country, and this one is said to belong to Zoroslav Kollar, an attorney and owner of a Czech tractor maker and holding company.
When Kollar's Veyron was parked a little to long at the Hviezdoslavovo Square in Bratislava, the Slovak police slapped a boot on the Bug's oh-so-costly 12-spoke wheels. We're guessing that more than one ticket resulted in the boot, but who knows? Either way, that would make this scene a little worse than the ticketed Veyron (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/28/thats-the-ticket-crowd-cheers-as-veyron-gets-parking-fine/) in London, but not quite as bad as the Bugatti driver who ran out of gas (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/14/not-the-way-to-roll-in-a-veyron/) in Las Vegas. Thanks for the tip, Shadow!
