[Mgs] MG sighting - the octagon

[Dan DiBiase]

Yugoslavia was certainly within the USSR sphere of influence - and behind the 'Iron Curtain' - but it wasn't part of the USSR. 

I always thought the Yugo was just another Malcolm Bricklin scam. ;-)

  I don't know about when the Yugo - called Zastava in Yugoslavia - 
started production.  Could have been before the fall of the iron 
curtain.  Marshal Tito did things his way, even though his country was 
part of the USSR.  Either way, the Yugo was a pretty good little car. 
It was a Fiat, built under license in what's now Serbia.  We had an '88 
Yugo that took us 130K miles before Peg ran it out of oil and blew it 
up.  We towed it with all four down behind our motorhome too.  There are 
still Yugos on the road in this country today.

   I sure would like to know more about that octogon sign.
