BarbaP some words (in any language) are impossible to translate since they are culturally interlinked with a particular way of life. But since teaching is my day job I would attempt a translation: MERAKLIS is someone who attends to things of their interest with detailed attention, love and creativity.

BM CG OK DAF.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: This is a Polaroid photo of my cousin Odysseas who ploughed the highway between Salonica and Athens with his DAF always wearing his suit. Definitely ΜΕΡΑΚΛΗΣ :D

PS. Don't be fooled by the red colour of the truck :lol:

BM CG RAM rig2 Oct90.jpg

Photo Balkanmodels: October 1990. Two Mercedes trucks along Langada street by Ramona junction. One is full of white aggregate the other is full of bricks. I would hate to follow this one out towards Derveni. The bricks are almost touching the tyres :lol:
