Oh. My. God. That is serious stuff. Imagine getting the phonecall from the garage, you thinking it would be a "Your Car Is ready for Collection Sir" and hearing/seeing that!

The garage in question will not like this appearing on the net... we all know who it is in that Business Park...

the valet company was in one of the images but I removed that image for legal reasons. Im sure they are being name son other websites...
The best bit is Des Cullens who own the car had it listed on the website for sale last week at 150,000 and dropped it this week to 110,000 - few minutes after the crash it was back up to 150,000 for insurance purposes !!

Look at the sympathy on the faces off practcally everyone in the 3rd pic, guards included, all laughing! :) And any car passing nearly has a fella out the window taking a picture.
Since when do they have a motorbike ambulance by the way?? Cant see them bringing many people to hospital on that!

I wonder who's insurance will cover that the owners, the guy who was driving(assuming he had his own policy) or the valet company? It would make you think twice before you leave your car into get a valet. I know if I worked in a place and a ferrari came in I'd have it out for a test drive. It would be too much of a temptation not to take it out.

I heard it won't be covered by insurance as the guy driving was not allowed to take the car off the valet premises. Could be BS though.

Also heard the driver mistakenly revved the ferrari up not realising it had launch control (flappy paddle box) so it took off like a scalded cat and straight into the pug.
