From AL-Monitor:
Omar al-Saadi has turned his Ramallah backyard into a garage for repairing classic cars. He currently has 26 vehicles, many of them decayed by the years of disuse and abandonment.
Saadi’s family is originally from the city of Lod, southeast of Tel Aviv. They were displaced to Ramallah in 1948. …
Currently, he is working on repairing a 1969 Mini Cooper. He buys the parts for the car’s interior and body wherever he can find them and has them built locally when he can’t.
Showing people are more alike than different, really – I count more than one car fanatic among my friends. Being a Mini (2005) owner myself, I cannot but wish him luck in his quest for parts.
