Production of the former Yugoslavia's classic car the Yugo has ended after almost 30 years. You have been sending us photos of your Yugos. Milovan Dučić bought his Yugo only last year.
Miro Kefurt: "I brought the first three Yugos to the USA in 1984 and introduced them at the Los Angeles Auto Expo in 1984. Now I sell a better version - an OKA made in Russia!"
Filip Stefanovic: "I'm a Canadian born Serb and spent two years living in Belgrade. A friend took this picture of me and the Balkan "muscle car" when he came to visit me."
Just like the Lada and the Skoda, the Yugo was often ridiculed. Geoff Radnor describes his old Yugo as a "terrible car".
Milos Milosev: "This is my 'latest generation' 2003 Yugo and me. It's still in perfect order. We have a saying here: 'It's not a car, it's a Yugo' but I wouldn't trade mine for anything."
Stijn Swinnen: "Last year I made a road trip with my Yugo through Europe - France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia and Germany. Here is my Yugo 1.3 near Valle Piola in Italy."
Despite the Yugo being the butt of jokes about its quality, Stijn Swinnen has only had minor electrical problems with his Yugo which he is fixing in this photo!
Hamdi Bilurdagi: "This is my brother's Yugo. He bought it in 1993 and it's still going strong!" Send your pictures to yourpics@bbc.co.uk or text them to 61124.
