For the story behind Pimp my Pump crew, all references, info, water pumps, and projects check Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, all the PmP news and a complete list of all pimped pumps will be there, up to date. Also, paint on the pumps, and especially on the floor, unfortunately deteriorates with time, so the pumps can be rather different looking than their pictures in the listing...
EN: This pump, just a bit south from Dinamo football stadium, is painted in the style of Eduardo da Silva’s croatian national shirt, with his number 22. Eduardo da Silva (nicknamed Dudu), is a Brazilian-born Croatian footballer who currently plays for Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) and the Croatia national team. As a 15-year old boy, he was spotted in Brazil by Dinamo (Zagreb) scouts, and was brought to play in Croatia.

He scored 73 times in 108 appearances for Dinamo, after which he moved to Arsenal (UK). Eduardo took up Croatian citizenship in 2002 and made his international debut for the Croatian senior team as a second-half substitute in a friendly match against the Republic of Ireland on November 16th 2004, at the age of 21. With 25 goals, Eduardo is currently the second most prolific striker that has ever played for Croatia, currently only behind Davor Šuker on 45 goals.
There are a couple of interesting plants/trees nearby. Apparently, somebody’s using the pump as a support for growing their tomatoes. Next, there is a big pear tree (currently, beginning of October, it is full of pears) growing in the middle of the park, on public ground. Have to think of something to bring those beauties down, otherwise they will all fall down and rot. Finally, it seems that in the nearby house we have a palm-lover. Sadly, Zagreb climate is too cold for palms to grow. No problem, the owner managed to transform a pine tree growing in his front yard in palm tree. Fantastic job!
HR: Ova pumpa, malo južnije od Dinamovog stadiona, je spimpana u stilu hrvatskog reprezentativnog dresa Eduarda da Silve, s njegovim brojem 22.
Eduardo da Silva (nadimak mu je Dudu) je rođeni Brazilac, kojeg su kao petnaestogodišnjaka uočili skauti zagrebačkog Dinama, nakon čega je prešao u taj klub.
Zabio je 73 gola u 108 nastupa za Dinamo, nakon čega prelazi u Arsenal (UK). Dobija hrvatsko državljanstvo 2002. godine, a 2004. godine debitira u hrvatskoj reprezentaciji protiv Irske, 16. Studenog 2004. Sa25 golova, Eduardo je trenutno drugi najbolji stijelac za hrvatsku reprezentaciju, Davor Šuker još uvijek drži prvo mjesto sa 45 golova.

Ima par zanimljivih biljaka/stabala u okolici. Izgleda da netko koristi pumpu kao potporu za rast biljke paradajza. Pokraj pumpe je i ogromno stablo kruške, trenutno (početak Listopada) prepunog plodova. Stablo raste u sred parka, na javnoj površini. Moram smisliti nešto za skinuti kruške sa stabla (visoko su) jer će inače sve popadati i istrunuti.
I na kraju, jedan od vlasnika obližnih kuća je očito ljubitelj palmi. Na žalost, zagrebačka klima nije pogodna za palme, pa se meštar sjetio kako od bora ispred kuće napraviti palmu. Majstor!
Za priču o Pimp my Pump ekipi, reference, informacije, ofarbane gradske pumpe, i ostale projekte provjerite Pimp my Pump: The Headquarters geocache, sve PmP vijesti te kompletna recentna lista spimpanih pumpi će biti tamo. Isto tako, boje na pumpama, a pogotovo na podu, nažalost blijede s vremenom, pa pumpe mogu izgledati dosta drugačije nego njihove slike u listingu...
