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!

Dave

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!

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.
