Re: ugly???

You are a sick Puppy Bob!!!

Roy,

That thing looks like something out of Mad Max 2 (aka "The Road Warrior"

to

the unwashed masses across the Pacific).

I bet you wouldn't have much trouble getting down the street with a front
end like that on it. And look at the headlight. You'd be like Moses

parting

the waters cutting through modern day traffic with that thing.

You could throw away Vetag and private rights-of-way.

Looks more formidable than a dented up old steel bullbar on a road-train.

I like it.

If you have a bigger version of that, I'd appreciate a copy to use that on
my computer desktop.

I hereby nominate the following WA tram as one for the 'only a mother

could love' category of the Trams Awards 2001.

The photo is a scan of the back cover of the PETS publication 'Getting

There', with the original photo either taken by Arthur Perry or Hugh
Ballment, as all the colour photos in the book are from these two gents'
collections.

The tram is unique, but not all that pretty...

Built in 1913, retired in c.1952 it lasted some 20 years longer than

most

of its companion stepless cars. The view portrayed was in the car sidings
beside the WACA ground in East Perth in 1952. The tram had been modified

in

the late 1940's, including the fitting of the centrally-mounted

destination

box, removal of the external motorman's door and replacement with an
internal door cut into the bulkhead (forcing the motorman to climb over an
adjoining passenger seat!)

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

Melbourne has just bought!
