For years, we've had a chuckle reminiscing about our son's (Marc, now age
30) early speaking; on his Mom's list of words he spoke as a 2 or 3
yr-old--there's just one with 4 syllables:  "Lamborghini".

Yesterday, during some "fall" cleaning, she turned up the cause of his
precocious vocabulary--a 1968 P400 Lamborghini Miura in flaming red, Solido
1:43 scale model. What a cool little car (fr wheels steer, doors and hoods
open, etc). And, as L. Cur might say: "nearly mint".

BTW, Marc now drives a dorF Aerostar :(. His son has a second birthday next
week, so I think it's time to transfer ownership of the Lamborghini.
