Here is a documentary from 2002. about phenomenon of converting Dyanas to old-paper collecting cars: http://www.documentary-film.net/search/watch-now.php?&ref=75 Nowdays it's imposibble to see these creations - Gipsies used it until 2006., when police finally started prizing these vehicles. Just watch the film (has english subtitles) and you'll understand what is this all about. Gipsies have strange habbit to mix their language ("gipsian" or however it's called in english) and serbian, so sometimes I also had to use subtitles to understand what they are talking! -- Last edit: 2010-03-29 00:04:45
