4 troxoi


It's Saturday morning, med February and the weather is little sunny, little cold.
While Eleni was watching TV i was reading the "4troxoi" (4 wheels) magazine, my favourite one.
I'd like to talk about this.

First of all, for all those who don't know "4troxoi" is a popular magazine in Greece about auto, cars but above all is magazine about the culture and the way some people want to live.It "speaks" about this way and some times shows this way.

I read it almost every month and the purpose in not only to read the articles about the new cars, drive tests, rally reviews and etc but mainly for reading the basic article of the author and director of the maazine Mr Kostas Kavathas. This man has dedicated his life in something he loves most: the cars and the "things" they present. The first thing i do every time i buy the magazine is to read his article. The article which talks about the other "side of life", the life that some people want to liVe in. The article about the cars he's driven and drives and of course reading the experiences of a man that believe in a purpose. "To talk and offer something different than most of greeks want". I like being in this minority of people and the quality at the end beat the quandity.

Wheen i first read the "4troxoi", was very young, a child, and my brother gave this magazine to me. I liked, then, the photos of cars which never could touch or even see live. It was like a window in another world. Then, some years later i started reading on a monthly basis the articles of Kostas Kavathas and still do it. I enjoy them.Although he complains about things happen in our modern new greek reality, i agree with him and guess must really hard for him to live in this modern greek society (that is another big story, i have to talk another time).

This morning, "4troxoi" was a very good company to me and reading some of the articles and seeing some of the photos i dreamed, i travelled and lived in another "world". Thanks Kostas and God bless you with power and strenth.
