Hi Joe!   
      
    JF>     Just wondering if any of you out there in BBS land remember the good   
    JF> old  Yugo.   
      
   It was popular here in West Berlin for a short time in my youth. But then,   
   after Germany's reunification, these cars became pointless because you could   
   suddenly buy a Trabant for 1 symbolic Deutschmark, with almost infinite supply   
   in cheap spare parts, or spare cars. :-D The estate versions had actually a   
   bit of space, and for a 26hp engine, it had good low end torque, being a 2   
   stroke. Powered AND lubricated by a gasoline-oil mix, like a chainsaw, the   
   noise and odour it emitted at a quick start from a traffic light is hardly   
   rivalled by anything that would drive on a street. ;-D   
   When we were in East Berlin for the first time, still before reunification,   
   the whole city smelt like 2 stroke exhaust gas.   
      
   The last time ever that I saw a Yugo standing around was probably 15 years ago.   
   Im the most popular online car sales marketplace in Germany, only 1 Yugo is   
   listed for sale - a 1993 model for the East European market, imported by a   
   collector. So, there's really not much left of it. ;-) In comparison, there   
   are 280 Trabant for sale....
