Word Origin
C18: from Italian: coating, from Latin: patina ²


This is Luca's.
I bought it for him while he was still @ nursery.
Nursery rules said that you weren't allowed to take your own toys in, but of course, Luca being Luca, he smuggled it in anyway.
Unfortunately a bigger boy spotted it and removed the tyres - lesson learned...
He still has it though and still loves to play with it :-)
As you can see (Ha!, maybe not :-)) it's an Alfa Spider - we do love our Italian cars in this house :-)
