Prem League’s Callum Wilson fined £70 for parking £230k Lambo on double yellows – but it’ll take just 15 mins to pay off
NEWCASTLE star Callum Wilson was given a red card for parking his £230,000 Lamborghini illegally – but the fine will take just 15 minutes to pay off.
The striker, 30, left his flashy Urus on double yellow lines while he popped to the shops in the city.

But a traffic warden left a penalty charge notice on the supercar’s windshield.
It is not clear how much he was fined but parking on a double yellow in Newcastle results in a £70 fine issued by the council.
Wilson earns around £46,000-a-week, which works out at £4.55 a minute.
This means it would take the crocked Magpies ace just 15 minutes to pay off the fine.

An onlooker said: “I was just walking down Acorn Road in Jesmond, near Newcastle and I saw the traffic warden looking at the car.
“I instantly knew this was Callum Wilson’s car as it’s very distinctive and I have seen him in this car a number of times.
“‘I just observed the warden giving the car the ticket. And Wilson didn’t come back for at least 20 minutes when I was there.
“It’s not like he was dashing into a shop for 30 seconds – he left his car on a double yellow line where there are regular wardens.”
