Rhodes-mingers, minters and oddities

Just got back from 2 weeks in Rhodes with swmbo, had a couple of days out and managed to snap a few non-touristy type pics.When i got home i found some pics i had taken back there in 2012 so ive added those into the mix.
Enjoy

Was that blue pickup the same guy who sells nuts down at kolympia Beach? If It is it's absolutely hangin close up, I think it was the roughest thing I saw on the road there..

Great pix!
I love going to southern Europe - absence of tin-worm makes for much more interesting car-spotting.

The car you caption 'Mehari?' might be Renault's version of Citröen's idea [cough 'copy']
Based on the R4 - the Renault 'Rodeo'



Renault 4 Rodeo on Wikipedia
also found this while searching which although fairly 'Roger Irrelevant' is pretty sweet:

Been to Rhodes a few times and saw the same ice cream truck and Harley, spotted a couple of baywindow vans too (just had a look on street view)...

Definitely not a Mehari though, the last models looked like this.



Looks a bit more 'home-made'.

Your Ape, is a Mazda, and there were two of them parked up on the road into Lindos about 10yrs ago. I'm damned if I can find the picture I took.

Yup and its still there, it moved slightly to catch the trade on the foot path passing the casino , i think he had a new paintbrush as the paint looked pretty fresh lol

I recognize that Green 3-wheeled pick up thing, at the side of the road going down to the Lindos main square
