I'm not sure on the type of clamp, an old triangular rusty one :S. Tim i parked next to the sign with the details on what would happen if i parked there, silly i know, but i was gone for literally 2 mins. I found out they park by it all day waiting for idiots like me, give them 30 seconds and ur clamped :@

They cant really do much. I rember couple of weeks ago i was going to get a parking ticket for parking on double yellows. The two guyz were entering in the details to the machine thing when i just came in time. I said hi to them and then drove the car off, and they did nothing but watch!
