Greetings from Romania

[Garett]

What dimension is that spare tyre? I'm thinking to "loose" the wheel cap too but I'm on 17s. I wonder if a 17" is not too heavy for the door.

[ΜΩΡΑΙΤΗΣ]

It is iron 16". Tommorow I will take some more pictures to show you exactly the way we did it and the screws wem used .

[vasilis k]

Because I do not know English

Salut prieten de frumoasa România.

Am studiat arhitectura la Bucuresti dela 1977 pina 1983
Dar nu am scris în limba română treizeci de ani.
Încerca să încărcați unele poze cu masina ta.
Și dacă vrei spune care este numele tau.

Bine ai venit la noi draga prieten și o ședere plăcută

[ΜΩΡΑΙΤΗΣ]

After removing the spare wheel, we purchase 2 screws one similar to the 4 that support the base of the spare wheel,

And one a little bit longer in order to be able to hold the antenna base

We open a whole of 6mm all the way down to the smaller screw in order to allow the antenna cable to pass through

and then we proceed

Hope it is ok , if you need any clarifications, pls do not hesitate to ask.

Impressive!!!

[Garett]

Indeed, really impressive!
Professionally done! :)
I only wish I would be as handy as you are! I will probably end up making holes in the workbench!
Fortunately I think I can co-opt my "marriage godfather" (I don't know the English equivalent) into this "venture" and he's good with tools.

@Vasilis K: Incantat de cunostinta, Razvan ma numesc, inginer navalist de meserie, din Galati, pe Dunare.
"Jucaria" e asta, acum e mai murdara dupa ispravile de duminica, n-am ajuns inca la spalatorie:

This is my "toy", in November when I bought it. Now is the same, only "properly muddied" from the trip on Sunday!

[ΜΩΡΑΙΤΗΣ]

Nothing profesional trust me..... we help one each other with ideas, the screws simply replaced the excisting ones, and there is plenty of space { and wholes } from the drivers seat untill there for the cable

[Garett]

I can hardly wait until spring to start adding things to the car!

[Tzivitzonis]

Fortunately I think I can co-opt my "marriage godfather" (I don't know the English equivalent)...........

It is called "best man", but feel free to call him by the greek "koybaros"!

We are all looking forward to spring time, when the rain backs up a little, so we start our "ventures" on the vehicles!!

[Garett]

No, I'm not talking about the best man, the best explanation is "the guy who put the wedding ring on the finger of the newly wed" (besides the priest, of course! :) )
We Romanians are orthodox too so I'm assuming the marriage rite is the same in your church.

@Kfanis: Of course, I'm more than happy to show you! Here are some photos from my recent trip to Dobrogea, which is only about 50 km from Galati:

[Tzivitzonis]

No, I'm not talking about the best man, the best explanation is "the guy who put the wedding ring on the finger of the newly wed" (besides the priest, of course! :) )

I am talking about the same man! The "best man". Hit it on Google/Translate!


As for the pics...... Beautiful landscapes!!! Thanx for sharing!!!

[Garett]

Here the best man/woman are the people that hold the candles.
Google translate is utterly useless when it comes of translating from/to Romanian!

The fact that such beautiful landscape, and some nice forest roads there, are so close to my town was one of the reasons I bought the car, in fact, to be able to explore the surroundings.

That's a photo I've found on the web: the people holding the candles are what we consider the best man/woman and the people on each side of the bride and groom are the "marriage godfather" or whatever!

Or, if you want, in a shorter explanation, the guy/woman who gets his/her hand kissed by the groom/bride after putting the rings!

I don't know that.... When it comes to Greek it's 100% correct!

[Garett]

You should see translations from other language than English to Romanian!
When it's about other than English, say German, Russian whatever I prefer to have the translation to English rather than directly to Romanian!
Otherwise it's a total non-sense!
