Default Crown Casino valet gives Ferrari to wrong bloke

Looks like an interesting mistake here, although the “work experience” journalists at the Herald Sun can’t tell the difference between an F40 and an F430.

Silly of the guy to drive off though.

Love the "The security guard said to me, because he only had an old tracksuit on, and he said 'you can't pick 'em can you'." comment.

I was in Star City Casino one night many years ago watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show when a grumpy old man in a track suit and slippers turned up at the door and the ushers almost fell over themselves escorting him to a booth.

I wondered how he got around the dress code until he got a bit closer and I realised he was Kerry Packer.

A bit like a real life "Ferris Beuler" story

The initial report through police media, the Herald Sun website, the ABC and 3AW was that it was an F40, however, some bloke emailed them and advised them that it was actually an F430. ;)

They even had a picture on an F40 on the 3AW website… knuckleheads.

I’d love to see someone try and drive an F40 around Melbourne.

It was great.

I’ll give you a full road test report as soon as they let me out of the remand centre.
