There is 1 down here and it's currently off the road because of a door issue, I believe it fell off, wasn't covered under warranty and is costing over a grand.

Heard this second hand so not sure how accurate it is.

So far, so good, there seems to be a lot of positive feedback on the Vito model.

Time will tell though, I think a couple of years down the line we shall know a bit more about their suitability as Cabs in London.

So do we, but most of his hires are round the corner those Londoners are lazy.
Most of mine are over 10 miles, but once in a blue moon I get a return.
And I have had to learn a 36 mile radius
