Harry Kurnitz was once asked what he thought of Volkswagens. He said: “I have been in bigger women.” Not a polite thing to say, but I think the same of Tata Nano. Very unfortunate then, that Ratan Tata (the man who dreamt of Tata Nano and made it possible) has a father who shares his first name with me – Jamshedji Ratanji Tata.
In Automobile industry there have been quite a few car-for-the-masses experiments and not all have succeeded. We all know that Henry Ford’s Model T was a success…but then what about Yugoslavia’s cheap car project…which ended up making Yugo?
The Yugoslavian Car Fiasco - Yugo
Here are some Yugo jokes I came across when I used to handle Sify’s automobile channel called Carstreet.com.
# How do you upgrade a Yugo car?
- Put in an engine.
# Why do Yugos have heated rear windows?
- To keep your hands warm when you’re pushing them.
# What goes on pages 4-5 of the Yugo user’s manual?
- The train & bus schedule.
# What is the sport-version of Yugo?
- The driver wears Nike shoes.
# What do you call a Yugo at the top of a hill?
- A miracle.
# What do you call two Yugos at the top of a hill?
- A mirage.
# How do you double the value of a Yugo?
- Half fill it with gasoline!

Having born in the era of white Ambassadors with curtains and mini fans, I didn’t see much of cars till I was really old. My 10-month-old daughter has already tried her hand on my Suzuki Swift’s steering wheel…but I was at least 11 years old when I first sat in a car – my father’s unit Commanding officer’s car, when he spotted us walking to school.
It all happened so fast, that I couldn’t even move my bums up and down and feel the cushions.
I had to wait till I started working before I next sat in a car. I was working late one night and I asked my boss if he could call me a cab.
He eventually did…but not before asking: “Do you want me to call you a cab to your face or behind your back?”
The SMS I sent to my boss after buying a car
I remember sending the same boss an SMS, after I bought my Swift. See accompanying picture to see the SMS I sent. >>
Buying the car was the easy part…getting the four wheeler’s driving license wasn’t.
I remember the Brake Inspector asking me to demonstrate car parking. I thought I parked the car well, and walked up to him and asked: “So, how was it?”
“Well…it will get you a fine.”
“Ohh…and is ‘fine’ enough? Or do I have to get a ‘good’ or an ‘excellent’?
I remember being asked to try for my four wheeler’s license after three months.
If you have ridden a two-wheeler and now own a four-wheeler, you probably know the difference. When on my Yamaha 135, if I spotted an accident….I would drive carefully for the next ten minutes. Ever since I have bought a car I just say: “Kill ‘em bastards,” and drive faster.
