| Post subject: | WHAT IS IT? |
Today I came across a picture in the estate agents of a house with a vintage taxi outside. I think it's an FX3, but I'm not sure. Take a look at the picture by clicking the link below. http://taxipix.fotopic.net/c493781.html I hope someone can tell me what it is. |

Whatever it is, it's probably more reliable than a Euro7

And there Fairway goes off in a direction to have a bash at peugeots! lol Okay, we had a eurocab, got rid of it in December 04, with 360,000 trouble free miles, it was still returning over 37 mpg, now I personally own a TX2 silver automatic, with a lovely ford engine. I cannot get more than 25 mpg. Captain cab |

Are you an actual Taxi driver Fairway, or a Taxi spotter? 360'000 miles captain, thats mighty impressive, spoke with Cab Direct today, they are sending a brochure for the E7, an auto version will be available soon I was assured for about £1k more, watch this space. In fact watch LTI's price drop . . . . |

green badge, we traded it in for another at 360,000, the old girl was coming up to 4 years old and due retirement (in our opinion) plus the repayments were cheaper with a new vehicle than the old one! (go figure) I think in all honesty the competition is good for LTI, if it wasnt for the competition we'd all be running around in FX3's Captain cab |

(thats miles not pounds) Yes, very intrested in the E7, I do a lot of Heathrow / Night work, so it would make sense, it would give old Blobby and Ollies vehicles a run for their money.
I would miss the turning cicle, but not £10k's worth of turning circle. |

No, just the one picture, but I'll see if I can catch the owner and I may be able to get a few more pictures for the website. I think it is an Austin FX3 though, from what you've all said. Thanks lads. |
