I've just been watching Top Gear on Dave - the one where an Apache helicopter tries to get missile lock on Clarkson in a fast car. During that clip Clarkson referred to the Apache as the ugliest machine.

Now I think the Apache just looks mean and functional.

For ugly, I give you the superguppy. It just looks....wrong...

That Superguppy reminds me of something, I can't think what yet, but it is certainly ugly.

Tinypic will do what you're after for photo's. Just keep an eye on what size you use.

I'll see your Superguppy, and raise you an Airbus Beluga

Your all confusing ugliness and the practicalities of the least inefficient design which doesn't expend unnecessary expense on wasteful decoration....

...ugliness is a subjective opinion, my wicked step-mother is in a league of her own.

The class 70, they aren't called 'Fuglies' for nothing you know.

They look quite cute! Just because they've got a nose...

Each to their own, but when compared to most other trains in the UK, they are ugly (along with the '67s of course) in most enthusiast's eyes (Of course, enthusiasts tend to look at things in too much detail and loose proportion).

Anyway, that nose is only a crumple zone at both sides, it's not even a real nose all the way across.

You can even hear the person filming it having some sort of fit due to it's uglyness at the end! :biggrin:


So what would you find ugly then??

I think all cars are ugly apart from Minis, Beetles, and those little cream/baby blue Fiat 500s that are everywhere now.

Ha,Ha ! Used to love seeing Guppy's trying to land gracefully in a cross wind at Manchester in the 80's......never went well,but they got the thing down without breaking them !
