Hi All!
I nominate either the Strasbourg abominations, or
the horrors at Lyons as the ugliest cars ever made.
Talk about mobile goldfish bowls............!!!

You haven't seen the weird Citadis thingys that
Melbourne has just bought!

Okay, gang! you asked for ugly, you got ugly! Here from my collection is a
picture of a Lyon, France Citadis (related to the Melbourne Citadis only by
name and builder). I'm told that the Lyon tramway system chose this front end
to emulate the silkworm, because Lyon is supposedly the World capital of the
silk industry. [Funny, I thought Japan was, but see, that's how much *I*
know! <g>] To me, it looks rather like a phallus...YRCH! (Photo by Bernard
Chatreau.)

Sorry, gang!

After my warning post about non-JPEG attachments, I had to go ahead and send
a PICT file. My foot is in my mouth, gang, and my face is 13 shades of
red!!!! LOL! Sorry...

Anyway, here is the picture of the Lyon Citadis converted to the proper JPEG
format.
