It was a good afternoon indeed. Oh well....a bad finish it would now seem. Some xmas present and it sure took them long enough to send it....or maybe thats why they sent it now as a chrissy surprise. Hey so you have to lose it for 60 days? or if you pay the 175 you don't lose it?

Hehe. Shhh. But in Greece the greater majority seem to move themselves around pretty quickly with no fuss to the next person. I like the style over there. Over here everyone seemingly goes out of their way to slow anyone else down so it can be struggle to get past slow pokes. Not so your way. In general the slower driver happily moves clear making for a less stressful journey.

The license request will come in the future, for now they only want the cash. Lets see. Not too worried at this stage. Relax Paul, nothing ruined. Takes more than a ticket to ruin me, have had a couple of friends pass recently, one on an accident with a bike. So I am content with being alive and well. The rest we can deal with.

That sucks, life is so fragile. And unfortunately we are reminded of that every now and again. Sorry Nick !

I like the way you're thinking. You can't turn back time....

Ok Nick, now 2 and a half months later and finally having more time at my disposal to finally figured out the photobucket to RL thing, here's a few pics on the day.

Better late than never....

[IMG][/IMG]

Skandalis leading the convoy at a very leisurely pace indeed...

[IMG][/IMG]

A nice blend of turns mixed with some straights made for a very slow drive....which was fine because there was nobody else around so we didn't hold anyone up .

[IMG][/IMG]

More scenic turns overlooking that rugged Greek coastline.....

[IMG][/IMG]

This picture above ^ Finally we got to see another car/ute! Below...more turns and up the straightaways....pictures don't always tell 1000 words.

[IMG][/IMG]

More again..... very scenic......

[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]

3 sexy beasts line up in row....using Nick's boat as a backdrop.....and here it was we thought there was a crisis

[IMG][/IMG]

And if i must say Skandalis's car is looking particularly sexy there wearing those lovely lightweight Dymag shoes.... along with the full .2 rear bumper/light conversion inc the EP2 which was sent back to Stef in Belgium to fully customise the positioning of the outlet pipes so they matched the new .2tt bar. Very nice!

[IMG][/IMG]

Last shot from the other side.....black is beautiful...and those .2tt stock wheels look pretty damn good too. All cars immaculately clean particularly Nicks which had a virtual diamond finish.

[IMG][/IMG]


So... after a quick bite at the restaurant we then got into Nick's boat lol (see pic behind cars showing Nick in his blue shirt getting off the boat) which was patiently awaiting us........ Not quite as quick as them turbos though eh Nick....JT

[IMG][/IMG]

Then dinner later.....and wow the food here is unbelievable guys! What a place!

[IMG][/IMG]

Then, back in Athens....the view from our room overlooking the Acropolis the morning of our departure. Can't fault the weather here...

[IMG][/IMG]

After 34 wonderful days in Greece it finally came time for us to leave this special country and continue our journey north bound.

All going to plan, will see you guys next year.....till then, merry xmas guys!....and Nick for gods sakes man take care of that boat....roflmao:

Good company, good food, good scenery, good cars ... that's the order I live in.

Nice to see it all in those pics.

Was a pleasure meeting you Paul!

Yeh what a place. Looking back over the countless photos I sure can't wait to get back in 13.

It's hot here at the moment....thinking of taking the boat out for a spin in the harbour. Here's one from out my front door. The hot winds have picked up a bit...
