Hi mate

Hello neighbor!!!!
Tomorrow i am leaving Athens for vacation, i ll be back at 29 Aug. so i won't post till then. When i am back i ll bring you photos of the Escys from the places i ll visit to give you a taste.
Yesterday i ve found near my house an abandoned 1.1L 4door in good codition, the owner told me that i can take only for 100 euros so i ll take it today before leaving for holidays. I ll use it as a donor car, it has some spare parts that i may need.
So, i wish you the best mates, see you very soon with my latest news! :flower:

Re: ------

To Asteras Hotel maybe? I am living close to Vouliagmeni and i am working at a firm to Katehaki-Mesogeion and St.Paraskevi, so i know these places very well. Maybe during your next visit we ll meet and perform some laps with the escy in Megara Circuit. If you ll need any help let me know!!! It ll be my pleasure!!!

Took this pic for you last Friday just before hopping into the metro for the airport.



I will be staying at the Divani Apollon when I've got business in Katehaki. I used to do the Divani Caravel but the congestion, noise and claustrophobia gets to you after a while. On the way in in the taxi from Vougliameni on Friday I saw a bright red Escort II in race trim parked on the street. I was too slow to take a snapshot and the taxi driver was about to go to warp speed.

FPMSL....nice to hear that Greek taxi drivers havn't changed over the years. I developed the theory years ago that Greek taxis are only equipped with two pedals...an accelerator...and a foot horn...

Yeah, they have a neat trick for traffic lights too - as they travel at speeds approaching light-speed, there is a significant "blue shift" in the colour spectrum of approaching objects. This means that red traffic lights tend to appear bluish-green which then means you can drive through them. They also play heavily on quantum theory and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. This is apparent when you KNOW they must have just hit that other car but you didn't feel the impact. It is because their car atoms were only in that place with a certain probability and weren't actually definitely there at that time.

Back to office...

Hello mates! Back to office unfortunately, back to Athens, holidays ended...... Dasa you re incredible mate....... I was there that day during the afternoon, i ve lost the chance to become famous through your photos! These guys help me a lot, good friends. Next time stop and ask for Cosmas(that's me) or Thanassis! It ll be our pleasure to meet you. We really have the best taxi drivers, they really "fly"!
These days i ll make my plans for the escort wintertime, i am thinking seriously about the engine rebuilt and the cage. SD cage is one-way solution mates?
I ll give you soon some photos of escys i ve discovered during holidays, take a first look.

It's going to be a nice project car, i think. Good luck neighbour

[rallysport2005]

I ve recently found info about the owner of this car from a neighbor, he's a sailor, most of his time is away from Greece, good car, few rust. I wish i could meet him and add another escy to my collection .............. What happens there neighbor? In Greece the Escortmania increases......
