| 2:43a | самый удивительный комментарий Год назад я поместил телеграфовский некролог на веселую женщину Мэрион Роттсли, где среди прочего говорилось: One of the high points of her life came in the mid-1950s when she lived in Spain and London with the writer Alec Waugh, who gave her a Cisitalia sports car, now in the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and wrote about her in his much re-printed novel Fuel for the Flame (1960). Сегодня мне в почту (ну и на страницу в ЖЖ) упал вот такой комментарий: Belated comment: I only learned of Marion Wrottesley's death yesterday, Feb 2, 2007. It is highly unlikely that the MOMA Cisitalia belonged to Marion Wrottesly, because it belonеged to me. I bought it from her in Madrid in 1959. Moreover, it did not run on jet fuel or Frenet Branca for that matter. It had a 4 cyl 1500 cc Fiat engine with a special high compression aluminium head, but was not really that powerful. The lines were beautiful, but we alterted the original frontend designh. Marion was quite a woman that all who had the pleasure of knowing were will attest. May God bless her.

И комментирует их некролог так, как комментировал бы его в газете. Написать ему что ли? Человек-то ясное дело масштабный. А вот и машинка, о которой речь:  (с)Meteorix at flickr.com |
