9. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Tarik Fatic, local businessman:
"It is almost identical story. We were always dealing with something; we would buy whatever we could and then we would sell it. For instance, we would take the last washing machine from the house, and we would sell it. The customer would come ( looking for washing machine) and when we did not have any washing machine in stock, we would take our own washing machine from the house. My wife would panic and cry. But we would move on, buy the new item, we would get new washing machine eventually, never mind. Throughout life, everything was like in a series.”

12. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Mirnes Fatic, local businessman:
”It was mad. We did not know how clients and banks would react. We never thought about that. It was ok then. We felt like that. This is how the name of the company came about – Only Fools and Horses Brothers Mucke. When we registered the company, they asked us whether we really wanted to name it (the company) like that. And that was it.”

18. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Mirnes Fatic, local businessman:
”The reactions of people are incredible. They are taking pictures, filming, waving to us, sending us kisses, showing to their kids, kids are smiling. The feeling is incredible. We never expected this. We knew it would be interesting as it was interesting to us when we saw the car, but we never expected this kind of reactions from people.”

20. SOUNDBITE (Bosnian) Mirnes Fatic, local businessman:
”The situation was the same for us as it was for them, a lot of ups and downs. Little less ups. It was down, down, down, then up then down and then up, but we hope and believe that this time next year we will be millionaires.”

STORYLINE:
There is an unmistakable air of Peckham these days in Bosnia’s capital Sarajevo as the legendary yellow three-wheeler from BBC’s long-running sitcom Only Fools and Horses cruises the city streets.
The little Reliant Regal was the iconic trademark belonging to the stars of the series – the irresistible Trotter brothers from the south London’s working-class neighborhood. In Bosnia, a replica belongs to the Fatic brothers, local businessmen who are crazy about the show.
Starting back in 1981, the enormously popular BBC sitcom followed the lives of the Trotter brothers and their path from rags to riches.
