[Shop-talk] Metric Hardware

[Doug Braun]

When I first started visiting Greece about 12 years
ago, I would occasionally see Minis, Triumph Sedans,
Rovers, etc., but recently they seem to have pretty
much disappeared, and now people drive the same kinds
of cars as the rest of western Europe.

The oddest car I ever saw in Athens was an AMC Hornet.
