Just to copy the Belgian post...

Sejanus · Sep 5th, 2002, 02:05 AM

Well, Mom's side of the family is Greek. Does that count?

M.J.J. · Sep 5th, 2002, 03:43 AM

I wish you even more succes with this threads, than we do.

And specialy first of all, I wish you find "GREEK" MINI Owners

But that will be no problem,GREEKland is ??times bigger than our little country

Greetz,

M.J.J.

loupis · Jul 12th, 2003, 09:28 PM

ananiou · Jul 12th, 2003, 10:01 PM

hi george, mayby i've seen the S in larisa, is it yellow one? or i just saw yours MC. Be well.

RickyMini · Jul 17th, 2003, 02:23 PM

Hi,

I plan to drive to Samothraki at the end of August with my Mini (live in Belgium

). So I was wondering where to find a list of mini-centers in Greece and especially in Alexandroupolis in case of problems that may arise. Hope not, but you never know.

Last time in May I saw a red cooper in Alex'polis, so there must be a dealer somewhere.

I 've been looking around the web but couldn't find any info.

Many thanks for your help.

Eric

ananiou · Jul 17th, 2003, 08:27 PM

I am afraid there is no MINI dealer in Alexandroupoli only a BMW one under the name Karypidis AE, located on the 3rd km of highway from Alexandroupoli to the nearest borders. Their telephone number is 2551088830 up to 9. Also you can contact MINI mobile serice at 2109406333 up to 4. All the telephones assume you are calling from inside Greece, other wise add Gr indernational code. For you info the Greek MINI dealers are 4 in Athens (Halandri, Glyfada, Marousi, Nea Ionia), in Thessaloniki, in Kozani, in Larisa, in Patra, in Rhodes and Crete (Hrakleio city) islands.
If you don't mind asking are your plans on visiting Samothraki during 28th in August - 3rd on September during the dance festival held on those dates?

Yes, I hope to arrive the 1st of September. My vacation begins the 30st of August, so I won't make it the 28st.

Anyway, I'll be there to attend the party for at least 1, maybe 2 days.

Are you going also to Samothraki these days? And with your Mini?

Maybe we can meet up somewhere?

Anyway, if you go: the IB/W Cooper with Belgian number plate is mine. Feel free to say hello.

And thanx for your information...

Regards,

Eric

ananiou · Jul 18th, 2003, 05:09 PM

I'll be glad to meet you. Even though it's undecided whether to come or not, i'll keep you posted in case i manage to be there.
ps the EB/W MCS with the Greek number plates will probably be mine,lol.
Be well.

Geiasou kai se 'sena xari.
It would have been impossible not to find Greeks, even if those were mini owners...lol. A GR mini club would be great, if you can make it happen i'll be glad to join in. This year BMW-GR has managed to sell enough minis, so that, some of the owners could form a club. Anyway, i wish you great rides with your forthcoming S.

PS, i write in English so that other mini2 members can follow.

TRELO · Jan 11th, 2004, 07:10 PM

Ela re boutanes
Im greek , but I live in Sydney - Australia .I try to visit Greece evey year when I can. I have lots of family which live in Mitilini. My friends all call me Trelo from the way I drive and TRELO is also on my number plates on my Mini. I also have 2 other number plate's for cars , ALITTI & PALAVO

Geiasou kai se sena TRELE, PALAVIARH kai ALITIRIE australe..lol
You must be pretty aware of the Greek tuning market since you are familiar with, Kafounis motor sports, unless he has Greek relatives in Sydney

. Anyway i have seen a tuned S, stage I 210ps, from Racing Dynamics offered through Kafounis witch is the official dealer here in Greece.

I am very familiar with the greek tuning market as I do visit Greece every year and always stay for around 3months at a time

. I cant stay any longer as they might grab me for the Army

WILD COOPER · Jan 13th, 2004, 12:01 AM

ela re trele!!!!
nice plates!!!! unfortunately here we cant get the plates of our imagination : (
so we have to live with NZZ.....
i hope to find here more mini owners from salonika to start a greek mini club so,when all of you who live out of greece when you came here to make GOOD!! meetings

))
about kafounis motorsport , from my side iam not pleased...
i called 2 months ago to ask him about a compressor kit that hi has for cooper, and if i was waiting for his call.....ase....hi toled me that he had to ask in germany to find out if the ecu of my car was the right one so the kit won't has problems...so i was waiting....mayde he was't able to make "work" out of athens...(i couldnt go the car to athens so he had to send something to take it or something like that) So i bored..and ordered a cooper s

) probably this was a better move!!!!
But i have heard that he do good work on cars..

ananiou · Jan 13th, 2004, 02:56 PM

Trelo, I’ll be having the same problem with my army service this year as i can't postpone it any more....time for my master studies in UK?...

. Anyway as WILD COOPER might correctly said kafounis seems to be uninterested, so far at least, to mod MINIS. The S i saw was last year, winter of 2002, i had my S for 2months already. I visited them in a car-mod exhibition at Peristeri Athens and during our talk they seemed as they didn’t believe that i owned an S and already wanted to mod it. Anyway apart from that, meaning their sales policy, i also believe that they "know-how" the BMW cars and since they offer Racing Dynamics packages quality-durability and performance is reassured.
I hear that RD has now a 230+ with a 260 camshaft, full exhaust system(manifold+catalytic converter+back silivncers), sc pulley and ecu.

The S is a way better move a the engine is stronger and decompressed for the supercharger and also has 6-speed.
Good luck with the club ( if I come this summer i will meet up with you and maybe go for a few drinks to the ladadika)
