Qatari-registered supercars pictured in London with parking tickets
Multi-millionaire Arabs will get a "50% discount" if they pay their fines within 14 days

FLASH supercars owned by Arab millionaires have been pictured across London with PARKING TICKETS - but the fines are unlikely to burn holes in the pockets of their high-flying owners.
Every summer Middle Eastern businessman come over to cruise through the capital's streets in their expensive motors, as temperatures in the Gulf soar to their scorching peaks.
Searching for a parking space is a daily struggle for some Londoners, but Arab businessman don't appear to suffer from this problem - as they opt to stop where they like and take the fine instead.
The millionaires love coming to London every summer, and are just as happy to flout the Traffic Management Act 2004.
Photos show a Lamborghini, two Mercedes, a Rolls Royce, and a customised Range Rover that all share one distinguishing feature - a bright yellow parking ticket with a "50% discount if paid within 14 days."
Loaded Middle Eastern men pay a small fortune to bring their motors here for Britain's supercar season.
Qatar Airways is one airline that offers a luxury car shipping service - transporting vehicles from Doha to Heathrow on one of their Airbus A330s.
The cars that arrive in London once a year are often bespoke versions of famous models, which serve as a magnet for car lovers and motoring photographers in the swankiest parts of London.
