My uncle, now deceased told us a story about the first car in Cyprus.
He was born in 1908. He recals when his father (my grandfather) took him up to the main road(Larnaca - Limasol). The asphalt roads then were called 'iron road' for some reason. Perhaps they shined like metal in the sun. Somehow people were made aware of the fact that an 'aftokinito' the first one was to travel from Larnaca to Limasol. They waited at the post station for two hours and saw their first ever car. He was still in his fathers arm, so I reckon he was about three or four years old. He remembers that everyone was very excited. The driver saw the gathered crowd, sounded its horn and chuffed along the road towards Limassol without stopping. Was 1912 the first time a car was driven in Cyprus? Any other witness accounts?

And was 1912 the first time a car was parked on the pavement???????

What pavement?......got a parking ticket though.

Presumably the fine is still unpaid?

Could not find the meter-maid.

Morphitisses girls from Morphou are in demand so many replies here! No one wants Lefkosiatisses ?

Nah ... they're too stuck up and too expensive to maintain... stick to Fords and we prefer down to earth girls from the villages.

I dont blame you as they (lefkosiatisses) think they are a rare chinese silk

Quite right M,.... now where has the new member from Morphou gone??

I'M still here, just hadn't come by in a few days, that's all. You guys don't seem busy enough to post straight away, other side of the world maybe?

The times you are posting are early morning hours in Cyprus ... the above post of yours was at 2am Cyprus time.

I assumed as much. As Cyprus is so far away, other sid eof the world etc.

Thanks.
