Finally found some time to post some pics I took when I met up with nicke60gre in Athens, Greece.
Nick is a great guy, has a wonderful family, and is real e60 fan!! his car looks amazing from up close... his handyman work has to be truly commended.
Thanks again to the forum for meeting and making friends from all over the world....
Also met up with Antonis and his insanely fast Mitsubishi evo8..quite impressive. Nice and funny guy...
Great food, weather and company while admiring a beautiful e60...great!!
