Today the official museum's account refutes the news
Hellenic Motor Museum to shut down with immediate action.
After the death of the owner / creator Haragionis it was unfortunately coming.
*My* take is that the family/ whoever inherited it couldn't support, seeing it as just business

This is my reality. Am I living the dream?
people go crazy when they learn of the VW "Hilux" but growing up in Greece these pickups were everywhere
The modest 2WD VW Taro is shown here. Apart from badging, no real effort was made to differentiate the model from the HiLux. The petrol and diesel engines were also Toyota units. VW slotted the vehicle in above its Golf mk1-based Caddy pick-up. It achieved modest sales before disappearing in 1997.
By the way look at what I spotted today, a Indica!
Immediately thought of the CityRover adventures. Didn't know it was sold in Germany

Είναι αλήθεια ότι οτι το 1989 γκρεμίζεται το Τείχος του Βερολίνου και την επομένη οι ελληνικές εφημερίδες δεν το έχουν ούτε σε μονόστηλο;

Αγωνία για ηλεκτροσόκ! 🧵
@manchurian.bsky.social υποψιάζομαι/θυμάμαι πως αυτό είναι μύθος και είχαμε πρωτοσέλιδα, ισχύει;

Το "κοίτα, ξεκουράστηκα" ακούγεται ακριβώς όπως το "κοίταξε, κουράστηκα"

Holden made it quite clear in their press material what you could do with that plethora of space in the back.

Similarly in the Audi A1 and the BMW iX

US Electricar began business in 1976. It converted Renault 5s and Fiat Stradas into EVs in 1979 and 1980, both under the name Lectric Leopard. It built carts then electrified cars again (Geo Prisms) in the mid-90s before going out of business. This Strada recently sold near me.
Happy it all ended up working out in the end!

The Ford Ecostar was an experimental EV van handbuilt by Ford in Michigan in 1992. Based on a European Escort van with a sodium-sulphur battery pack; 100 vehicles were leased to corporate clients for 30 months. Sulphur leaks caused vehicles to catch fire; Ford abandoned the project.
Did I miss you putting on different wheels?

Do you remember when you last saw a first gen Fiat Punto? Millions have been sold, but it’s almost extinct from West European roads these days.
Corsa Bs still going strong here, too!

Do you ever get the feeling that Earth gravity is...a bit much? Tripping and falling should not be as big of a deal as it is.

Σαν σήμερα, πριν 70 χρόνια. Ήταν 24 Ιανουαρίου 1955 όταν έκανε πρεμιέρα το "Ιστορία Μιας Κάλπικης Λίρας" (που όλοι πλέον λέμε απλά "Κάλπικη Λίρα") του Γιώργου Τζαβέλλα. Εδώ ένα σπάνιο ντοκουμέντο με τον Τζαβέλλα και το συνεργείο να γυρίζουν το "προφίλ" της λίρας για τους τίτλους αρχής του φιλμ. 1/3
