The Yugo is alive and well...and cold, but running.

Don't laugh anymore at the Yugo automobile, which was the brunt of many a joke (even here) a short while back. This one is still willing to venture out on the streets, unlike its companions on this snowy Belgrade street. Once more, this is a scheduled post, and I sure hope that Yugo is now cruising along a dry street.

Sometimes the 'Yugo's' of the car world are the unlikely heroes hey Bibi!

Makes me think of the Trabant and Wartburger cars in former East Germany!
I love your new header photo, Bibi! Fun to catch up with your blog this evening!

One of my Belgrader friend learned to drive in a Yugo, she has quite a few funny stories about that car to tell!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

«Louis» is sending the link to this to "B Squared" who used to write the blog Fort Lauderdale Daily Photo and who joked about having a Yugo as the Staff Limo - and had a photo of a Yugo in the sidebar of his blog!

;-D

Yugo is good as much as money spent on it. You can't expect to have Jaguar for that money.

I had Yugo long ago, red one.

I love how you've captured this nearly monochromatic shot with spots of bright red color-very cool bibi.

SUNSET

  A beautiful urban sunset over New Belgrade. The 'smoke' from the stacks on the left is actually just steam from the heating plant....
