Causa Finita" |
'David E.
Davis, Jr., and I were the first members of the American auto-
motive press to be allowed to take the EB110 on real roads. We flew
to Bologna and settled in at the magnificent Grand Hotel Baglioni,
with room ceilings as high as a Grateful Dead fan and service faster
than Andre Agassi's and much better mannered. Here we were met by
the charming Dr. Stefano Pasini who is both the public relations
director of Bugatti and a prominent ophthalmologist (a good thing
considering how corneas go squash when the Bugatti's turbochargers
light off).
Dr. Pasini-a
man with such an Erasmian sweep of automotive knowledge that he is
able to name what Elvis drove in the King's car- racing
movies-entertained us lavishly. In case anyone is wondering whether
our journalistic objectivity was being unduly influenced by
Bugatti's hospitality, of course it was. That's Dr. Pasini's job.
And let me tell you, for a city named after a brown bag lunch,
Bologna has some remarkable restaurants. Not that it made any
difference. We could have been given an, as it were, bologna
sandwich and a test drive in an autostrada rest stop and we would
have gone all faint and blushing over the EB110. |
