Red face Car ScreenSavers Thread..

Team,

I have a 2 year old son, who is terribly fond of cars, which I guess is usual for kids his age... What is unusual though, is that he remembers the names of all the cars that he has seen and can identify them correctly just by looking at the head-light/ tail-light/ covered body for some cars, etc..

We have challenged him many times, and we find it very difficult to beat his judgement..

I wish to encourage his talent and would appreciate some links to exotic car screen-savers that I can download in my computer and show it to him..

I thought that other parents might also be interested in a screen-saver thread so starting one..

Not sure if this is in the correct location, so i would request the mods to please move it appropriately..

Hahaha
Tell me about it. My 5 year old nephew, Nonu, can identify any car on Indian roads. His favourite being the Indica!

The only car he doesn't remember the name of is Tavera. He calls it, driver car. He says, yeh toh driver car hai.
Regarding screensavers, try Google. I am sure you would find many.

Why not download high-resolution pics for him?

You can see carwalls for a good collection.

Well, to tell you more about it, he is just two, sitting on my lap right now.. and wanting an endeavour, CRV and a BMW.. He has problems pronouncing a mercedes (Calls it a Meniniz), Safari (Tapaati) and Ferrari (Fetaati).. But he can damn recognize those cars at the age of TWO... Beat that !!

Does anybody know about a forum called "Amazing Kids", I got this information from my kid's teacher and she is hell bent on us registering his name over there..
