Peter and Giorgio,
That's a very nice story! The result of global collaboration driven by the same passion.

His three sons, who are now young men, used the Lynx as a playground as young boys are wont to do. They ended up calling the Lynx, "Mita", which I understand to be a term of endearment, that was also used for their grandmother.
I have attached a picture of Giorgio and his three sons on the Lynx, when I first saw her.
