	OMG GUISE GUISE GUISE Check out this Citroen SM I found today! I have always LOVED the SM, beautiful cars. As far as I can tell, this one is called the "SM Prototype Michelin" First thing I did was post it in the NRNR, but I can't help myself, I had to start a thread - even though it's probably a repost! Okay okay, shut up and make with the pics already: So you probably think that's it right? Well while I was digging about for pics of this, I found something called the Michelin PLR (Poids Lourd Rapide): 10 wheels, four-wheel steering and two small-block Chevy V-8s. What more could a man want? Apparently it was created by Michelin to test truck tyres. more here >

	When I saw the pic in nrnr I would never have pot it down as an SM and the DS is one of the craziest creations I have clapped eyes on. Good find. It is a shame they don't still do things like this but it doesn't make any money. You do get the odd glimmer of hope on occasion like the w12 golf but nothing this mental.

	The SM is in the Citroen Coservatoire Museum in Paris, seen it in the metal along with lots of their other cool prototypes and concept cars (including the doomed rotary engined stuff ~(helicopter,GS,35) Have a Visa Lotus Karin another concept Xanthia (Ax sportster) more from the conservatoire in here: smg.photobucket.com/albums/v213/skinnylew/Ax/AXOC%20Paris%202011/?start=all

	Citroen were mental. They've definitely gone and 'saned up' a bit more recently. Shame really.

	First thing i thought when i saw the SM was, "My god it looks like Captain Scarlets car!". I'm a big Gerry Anderson fan.

	Well, this seems like a good opportunity to post up some pics of the chopped DS rally car that was on the Citroen stand at this year's Festival of Speed.
