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: Kozari Bok is one of the poorest suburbs of Zagreb. The houses were built without any urbanistic plan or rules, and the names to the streets were given in the same manner. That’s why we have very original street names ranging from fantastic Kozari Bok 1, up to ingenuous Kozari Bok 22.
Here we have an unusual formation, 2 pumps very close to each other. Judging from the shallow concrete pools on the right, these were once used to wash clothes. One of the pumps is placed in an area separated by metal bars, so PmP Crew came with a fantastic idea to pimp it as a cop (milicioner, or Mile), and a robber (in this case, Lale (untranslatable game of words)) in prison.
One of the best designs I’ve seen done with these pumps.

HR: Kozari Bok je jedno od najsiromašnijih predgrađa Zagreba. Kuće su ovdje izgleda građene stihijski, bez ikakvog urbanističkog plana ili pravila, a tako su davana i imena ulicama. Zato tu i imamo nevjerovatnu imaginaciju kod njihovih imena, počevsi od “Kozari Put I, odvojak I”, pa sve do lucidnog “Kozari Put III, odvojak IV” (neki odvojci idu i do broja 18).
Na zadanim koordinatama vidimo neobičnu formaciju gdje su 2 pumpe vrlo blizu jedna drugoj. Sudeći prema plitkim betonskim bazenčićima s desne strane, cijela konstrukcija je služila za pranje rublja. Jedna od pumpi se nalazi unutar zone odvojene metalnim šipkama, pa je PmP ekipa dosla na fantastičnu ideju da ih spimpaju kao milicajca (Mile), i razbojnika (u ovom slučaju, Lale) u zatvoru. Igra riječi, iz koje se vidi da s njima nema mile-lale.
Jedno od najboljih dizajna ideja koje sam do sada vidio od PmP crew-a.
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...
