Andy_Bangle Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fancy a job as a professional valet? Monaco’s Hotel de Paris may have a job for you I'd want to get out the car and lump a few of those feckers with their cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser647 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 A bit of heat from a nice halogen lamp, a spatula and bit of white paint. Job will be a good'un. Besides, it was parked fine before it went forwards again for some reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I think he planned to blip the throttle to show off to the camera weilding crowd, however didn't realise it was in drive and not neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 That's not a job I'd like. Driving other people's cars really slowly, when you're not familiar with them, with lots of hard obstacles close by, and a whole load of crap just waiting to fall on you when the inevitable happens.

Tipex Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Those cars are an absolute pig to drive at very low speeds, I would say it's a combination of a horrible gearbox to manoeuvre a car with, and someone who doesn't realise just how bad the gearbox is for that. If you look on Youtube, there are quite a number of videos of people struggling to manoeuvre Aventadors, the gearbox slips like mad on anything other than totally flat ground, then as you can see, lunges forward.

Busby Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Big ooopps! I wonder if there is a video of the hotel manager telling the owner about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I can't see anything that suggests it was the hotel valet parking it, it's hard to say for sure, but it looks like the person who gets out of the drivers side (LHD) is casually dressed, and probably not a hotel employee.

Andy_Bangle Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) The only eyewitness source is the guy who filmed the video Maybe you could pop over to the hotel and ask as I don't particularly care who was driving I recorded a valet parking a stunning Aventador in front of the Hotel de Paris in Monaco. When the car was parked, he wanted to rev it, but he was on first gear, so the Lambo crashed into another car.

drpellypo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 When my dad was in his 20's, he used to work on the quays. His job, amongst other things, was to move the artics round to the loading bays. Lots of different lorries, lots of tight maneuvers. One day he got into a lorry to move it. As he was reversing he saw a lad waving at him and shouting stop. Confused, he jumped out of the cab, looked at where the guy was pointing, and saw a car underneath the trailer. Turns out the boss had just picked up a brand new car and took it to work. He parked right behind the lorry that dad has just sat in, too close to be seen in the mirrors. When dad started backing up the boss tried to beep the horn, but being unfamiliar with the car, couldn't find it. Nobody hurt in the incident and amazingly dad kept his job! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
