Greek MINIs

My wife and I were in Greece for three weeks... I captured photos of various MINIs (old and new). These were all taken in the Athens area. We anly saw a couple in Naxos where we spent two weeks. It was good to see them! Made me miss my MCS all that much more.

Fun pics! When I was in Europe two summers ago I remember seeing lots of Classic's zipping around. The auto world over there is so different than the one we have here in the U.S.

People drive all crazy in Europe, when I went some car tried to fit in between two buses and got stuck, and this mercedes drove on the sidewalk to go around traffic.. I wish I had my MINI back then, I would've noticed a bunch of classics if I kept an eye out for them

I married a Greek girl too. That's why my license plates are MINI MAS. Means "Our MINI" in Greek. I know, I know, "MINI More" in Spanish too....

I didn't think of that, good question? It would make my local gas stops much more fun.
