That probably didn’t include the night of August 20, 1952, when she found Agnelli in bed at their Cap-Ferrat villa La Leopolda with a very beautiful and very young conquest he had met at a party a few hours earlier. Chased from the house and still intoxicated, he drove the girl back to collect her handbag, was confronted by her boyfriend, and left again at breakneck pace in his navy-blue wood-panelled Fiat station wagon to drive her home. It was past 4am when he missed a corner on the corniche and slammed into a Lancia van taking three butchers to work. The girl was only mildly injured, but Agnelli’s right leg was shattered. Quick thinking by friends who arrived on the scene, and Agnelli family influence, avoided amputation by local doctors and prosecution by the gendarmes, but Agnelli would never fully regain the use of the leg."

Cheers!!
I've always enjoyed Hennessey, so I'll raise a glass with you, any day of the week.
I stopped saving my drinking days for the weekend a long time ago, lol
