Having
a car run into the back of the one you are driving is not necessarily a
bad thing. At least a lady in Italy didn't think so. This happened to
her some time ago, in the centre of Italy, when the car behind her,
driven by the charismatic Hollywood heart-throb George Clooney, bumped
into the back of hers. He might be wearing high heels, not quite the
ideal shoe for the gas pedal.
According to the British popular newspaper the Daily Telegraph, the damage caused was only superficial. George Clooney immediately left his car and came over, profusely apologised, and admitting fault for the accident and accepting full responsibility.
The lady took her car, a Lancia Ypsilon to a garage to have the 'small imperfections' repaired. When she went back to collect it, she found a brand new one of the same model, valued at €18,000, waiting for her. There was a note stuck on the windshield, handwritten by George Clooney (presumably) and signed, once again apologizing, in the best style of a perfect gentleman and Cassanova:
"I am sorry. I hope one day you would forgive me."
I bet that note alone would be valued by her as another €18,000. Maybe considered priceless.
As to that admirable gentleman, I reckon he should get back manyfold the sum he paid out in the best publicity worldwide. A win win story.
