Adrian ‘Mr Lambo’ Portelli caused a sir on The Block last year when he turned up in yellow Lamborghini and aggressively bid on Omar and Oz’s home in the nail-biting finale.
But it seems it wasn’t the 34-year-old property investor’s first time on reality TV.
Footage has now emerged of Portelli on Channel’s Seven’s reality hit, Highway Patrol, being stopped by police for speeding.
In the clip, which has now gone viral, Portelli is seen being booked by a policeman after he was caught driving 40km/h over the speed limit.
Portelli’s traffic bust occurred while his license was already suspended, leading to his luxury BMW being impounded

At one point in the footage, a smiling Portelli happily concedes his poor judgement.
‘What can you do, I’m in the wrong,’ he said during the segment.
‘There’s no point arguing about it,’ he continued.
Shared to TikTok, the video has attracted over 7600 views and more than 130 comments, many in support of the wealthy businessman.
‘The attitude that made him a billionaire,’ wrote one fan on Tik Tok.
‘He is a nice guy, has done a lot for people,’ added another fan.
Another viewer gushed: ‘What a great attitude to have in life.’
It comes after Portelli announced two weeks ago he was willing to spends thousands of dollars to beat a number of traffic violations.
The fines Portelli face are only worth hundreds of dollars but he told reporters outside Sunshine Magistrate’s Court earlier this month he was prepared to fight them ‘on principle’.
Portelli allegedly lost control of his car while going through a roundabout.
He recently rose to notoriety when he had a crane lift a McLaren Senna sports car 57 storeys into his $39million penthouse in the Sapphire by the Gardens tower in Melbourne’s CBD.
Portelli made headlines last year after an appearance on Channel Nine’s The Block when he placed a record-breaking bid on the home renovated by contestants Omar and Oz, but which led to accusations it was a ‘dummy bid’ to drive the price up

Reputedly worth $350million, Portelli admitted last year he has a hard time keeping track of his assets.
Interviewed on the Frankie Lee podcast, the entrepreneur admitted he did not know the full scale of his ever increasing property portfolio.
The online promotions guru, whose combined businesses earned a cool $60million last year, also said he has lost count of just how many luxury cars he owns.
