BM CG Egna1 Oct90.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: October 1990. A brand new DAF tractor unit, registered to Karagiannis, travels somewhere along Nea Egnatia. Some flags on the balconies, wet from the rain, indicate a time around the Greek National Anniversary of OHI.

Ας περιμένουν οι γυναίκες / Let the women wait https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO7mUbbpwo0
One of my favorite movies, I've seen it more than ten times. I'm going to have a look if there is any version with subtitles...

at the first 4 minutes have a look at all those ''exotic'' vehicles that were running in 1998 on our roads!!!

Thanks BarbaP. Is it the sunglasses or the hat that reminded you of me? :lol: Anyhow the photo below is for you. I am sorry I could only find a coach with three golden stars at the front and not four :D

BM CG PES rig7 Oct90.jpg

Photo balkanmodels: October 1990 in front of PES Thessaloniki that used to be known, in the olden days, and as Hirsch Square. A Volvo F12 enters the area from the adjoining one way road. Note the wood stacks on the left hence the name Xyladika and the blue VW van. It is a mobile greaser (γρασαδόρος) that solicits trade amongst the truck drivers. The lines to the tram terminal are long gone, though I tried to trace them in vain.

BM CG PES rig8 Oct90.jpg

Photo balkanmodels: October 1990 in front of PES Thessaloniki. The Volvo F12 is now parked and its driver, together with the driver of Mercedes parked behind, are trying to attract the attention of the greaser.

Barbap, maybe theo was looking for this one, but certainly not I :D .

But if anyone wants a football coach in 1/87 both Rietze and Herpa will oblige for a minimum order of 500 pieces give or take 10%. Money upfront of cource.
