| <nettime> Yugo (for real) is BACK!!!! |
So, the car once dubbed the worst ever to drive on American roads, and given for free to those who bought larger American sedans, will re-appear in the US. The cruise missiles that supposedly destroyed Zastava factory in Serbia (that manufactured Yugos), were not that efficient, apparently, since the factory continued production with almost no interruption. And as Serbia and the US are friends again, the Yugo is coming back. Under a new name, though: ZMW (Zastava Motor Works). Just be careful not to get tricked by a dealer into paying for a BMW, and driving away in a ZMW. http://www.forbes.com/2002/04/23/0423yugo.html ivo ps - that means that Yugo will not really in the future exist only in the cyberspace, as we believed so far http://balkansnet.org/raccoon.html#cy http://balkansnet.org/cyberyugo.html Ivo Skoric 1773 Lexington Ave New York NY 10029 212.369.9197 [email protected] http://balkansnet.org # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
