BANKRUPT EUBANK'S 900FT TAXI JOURNEY

FORMER boxer Chris Eubank hired a taxi to take him 900ft from Harvey Nichols to Harrods yesterday - as a judge declared him bankrupt.

Dressed in his trademark riding boots and jodhpurs and carrying a designer "manbag", he shrugged off his money woes by visiting two of the most expensive shops in London.

The former middleweight champ, who earned more than £10million in the ring, owes £1.3million in VAT. It's thought other creditors are owed thousands more.

Before yesterday's two-minute hearing at the High Court, which he did not attend,he said: "Over the years, I wish I had taken better advice. "I want to put this behind meand get on with my life.

Eubank's financial problems follow years of extravagance. He had a passion for expensive cars, including a £100,000 bomb-proof Hummer truck, which cost £22,000 to deliver, and a £200,000 Aston Martin that cost £25,000 to insure.

He insisted on travelling first class, with an entourage including a hairdresser, portrait artist and tax lawyer. Yesterday, his spokesman said Eubank was just back from South Africa, where he helped build houses for the poor

To be honest GBC, if Mr Ewbank had the chance to jump into a Merc rather than a TX I think he would have done so, I know I would.


Probably another case to be argued for different vehicle types. I don't think you can really draw a comparison between a TX and a Merc Vito or the likes.

But it would'nt be as chaep as the £2.60 estimated fare I would have charged.

Yep, I'm in full agreement with that one, problem is the PCO seem to have a bit of trouble in making a decision over a Taxi type, so I'm very hopeful a decision about the Knowledge will arrive after i've retired.
