:notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Looks like a great time!
Even my 2WD would have been able to handle that "Greek Off-roading". :)

Deres, you definitely have waaaayyy too much time to kill.
Are you sure you are an architect?

Beware the Greek Army approaches! (5 is the most Patriots together isn't it?)

I did have a lead in the poll, but I think I will get passed now that the Greeks are back. :D

Thank you Mrs Deres for braving the elements to take pictures of your idiot husband and his new friends. :smiley_thumbs_up:

Very nicely done Deres.

great job once again with this photo story deres!! i think that maybe you can have an alternative carreer as an comics artist:smiley_thumbs_up:
sad that you didnt make it finaly to livadies plateau and i m feelin
responsible for this because im the one who suggest this trail...:(

Joe, I have my own office, I work with mrs Deres and we can manage our time succesfully (so far...). I worked about 6 years as an illustrator for magazines and commercials, so this kind of stuff is pretty easy for me - and much more quicker than you think...
Yes, it was most patriots ever gathered together, and I think that we'll be more the next time (spring, I guess).
As for the voting, I have already reached my limit-up, I don't think that I'll get anymore votes.

PS I'll pass over your greetings to my lady :)

Deres,
How high up are those mountains? To be looking like that, this time of year, would have to be 6000-7000 feet up over here.

Is that normal weather for this time of year?

Brilliant stuff & so clever----I love that presentation!!!! Looks like a great time...


Oh Deres Meeting is spelt Meeting in English---Not Meating---Meat is something you eat!!-------Mind it may have been deliberate as they are big Beefy guys????


Oh sorry spelling is correct On Main Heading!!!!!

Haha, that story was great.
I´m glad you have had so much fun!
But i have some questions:

Why do you have so bad weather in Greece? Everytime i see greek holiday commercials on german TV the sky is blue and the weather warm not such mess.
Next:
what happened to the greek culture? If went to a greek restaurant in germany we get Sambuca for free not Pepsi coke!
And last:
Will there ever be an happy end for the CRD engine? Seems it woke up in his worst nightmare (incorporated into a Jeep) and now have to deal with his life.
Maybe the VW engine and the Jeep Patriot will fall in love anytime in the future?
I´m pretty sure you will tell us in the next comic. Damn i hate cliffhangers!

PS: BTW that looks like a F104 starfighter in the background

Deres,

The altitude (at the point we stuck) was about 1250m (or 4000 feet).
You are right, the weather was pretty bad for this time of year, we didn't expect it...

I know that, Pete!
I played with the words meeting and meat, because our first meeting ended eating meat than off-roading!

The Greek method won the rock ! My patriot is still alive!It was great nice job deres!!thanks for all!The weather in Greece is the last 3 months but it 's ok!

deres that was amazing. Great comic. I suggest to publish it in a book and start selling it as a comic. But even better idea is to gather all the pictures that had been taken from all of us and fix an album in that style. That would be a brilliant idea.

This first meeting was great and had the oppertunity to meet at last. Been the most patriots together in a meeting was nice. But I hope the next meeting there will be more fellow greeks to participate. The next meeting will be in May. That's the next appointment for all greek patriots

1st May??

The weather is usually unpredictable this time of year in Greece, but we didn't expect so much snow.
You are right about the restaurants, they have lost their traditional spirit.
By the way, that drink that you mention isn't Sambuka, it's OYZO.
Sambuka is Italian and much more expensive...
I think the worst nightmare of that CRD will be to wake under a hermaphrodite chrysler-fiat-huyndai-consortium hood...
But I liked your idea, I'll offer it a happy ending in the future!

OYZO right, sorry, my fault.
Regardless of bad weather it seems that you still had lot of fun.

Sorry deres I jumped the gun a bit there-----I'm glad to see ,that like the Brits , the Greeks have a good sense of humour-----Cheers!! Mate..

Start sending me your photos!!!

I don't have a lot of pics but I have a video with all of us on the road to Iti's national park.

Unfortunately, not this year as we are expecting two babies in late May/early June, but undoubtedly next year I might join you with my wife.... but you bet it is not going to be March... More likely May or September :)

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

1st May??

probably patrioths that will be the next greek's apointment. A lot of work has to be done for that meeting and of course to find the proper place for all of us to be there

Unfortunately, not this year as we are expecting two babies in late May/early June, but undoubtedly next year I might join you with my wife.... but you bet it is not going to be March... More likely May or September :)

Great photos, thanks for sharing.

Hogar, that will be wonderful :smiley_thumbs_up:

hogar whenever you want and you have the time to join us on a meeting will be great. I hope that we will see you in one of the coming meetings in greece

deres we both posted the same thing with a minute delay from me.

You might just be too clever for your own good, deres... :p

Nice presentation. Glad to see you guys had a good time!

thanks gaze. We had a great time and we will meet again very soon

Wow Deres what a great comics show, I had a good time reading and watching it. Shame that the weather put you off to the alternate route, but seems everyone enjoyed it non the less. Keep up these great posts and more comics stories please :smiley_thumbs_up:

thats awesome deres!

(borat accent) "Verry niice!!"

Thats one fantastic Patriot story from Greece!:) Thanks to all Greek company for such an interesting presentation!:) Waiting for some video story as well!

Thank you all for your good words.
More to come for sure!!!

and of course video will come too. Just need to find some time to upload it

Oh the stories I've heard about OYZO. I had a friend in college who was greek and when he would start drinking all he would have to see is those four letters and it was over. Passed out bottle in hand and usually ending up peeing himself where ever he ended up. Makes for some great stories though.

We must inform our not Greek friends that Greece has the third larger mountain coverage from all the Europian countries. 1st is Switzerland and after Austria. Our highest mountain is Mount Olympus. You can check Google Earth to see that. On our trail we had at 1000 meters 7 celcious and at 1270 meters 2 celcious. The entrance to the national forest was from the north so the snow was raised so even my Patriot was imposible to continue higher. You can check my photo album to see snow at the sea level at Porto Rafti just next to Athens

i am happy that i am a part of the Greek group!!

I laughed, I cried. It was a moving experience. Great presentation, deres. Bring us more.

This was awesome:-) Love the "I wonder how many votes Joe got" lol

Great job Deres :smiley_thumbs_up: I thought the comic strip idea was very clever. Maybe Joe or Joe could do our next trail ride like that;) Looked like you all had a good time.

Deres the photostory is awsome! I feel awfull to have missed this excursion of yours, but I'm glad that we will probably arange another one on May... Your experience would be usefull.

A real pleasure to read and look at. Thanks Deres

I hope you will make at the next meeting on May alex. Mostly I hope to see even more greeks to join us and be with us at the secong greek meeting.

I don't know how I missed this thread until today. I got a good chuckle out of Mrs. Spi8a's creepy comment but I shot Diet Coke out of my nose when Mrs. Deres went on the f**n tirade. Do you know how much that burns man?

oops, sorry Oktazcat...

bad boy deres :p

...Just some pictures mixed with a low resolution video from our meeting

peR86YGvDzA

The track sounds great! Keep working for us deres. You are the GPOEM (Greek Patriot Of Every Month).

Alex, I did it for the track!!!

deres very nice video. But I must say that in fromt of you it was cospas and not me. I was the last patriot from all five of us

Very nice Deres. Was Mrs. Deres the f****n videograhper?

Very nice Deres. Was Mrs. Deres the f****n videograhper?

Of course!!!
She was extremely busy (and wet) that day :D

For my Greek fellows only, a Cretan version of our meeting's video.
It's a remake of "Gasolina"...

Of course!!!
She was extremely busy (and wet) that day :D

MUHAHAHAHA

no further comment,rofl.

deres that song is unbelievable. It's so funny

I like this cretan gasolina! So original!
