Slight thread drift - but does anyone remember the magic Limassol taxis? You got in the back, briefly closed your eyes, then slid over to the other door and got out to find yourself at Akrotiri guardroom. Never did find out how it worked
The taxis were usually old Mercedes 190 diesels - I remember one driver claiming his had done over 600k miles, and judging by the state of the bodywork he may well have been right.
