Taxi Driver Online

Not sure whose motor this is, but it worked for Golf City Taxis in St Andrews - you can see the phone number on the side door in one of the photos

And I think it knocks about during the day, rather than nights. For what it's worth.

Anyway, presumably nothing to do with Uber Wars, or whatever

Tuesday afternoon, a very elite village in Fife about 13 miles from St Andrews. Presumably on a run there, and presumably just an accidental vehicle fire. It's a diesel, apparently.

This is the Daily Record's headline, but not the article, which doesn't really add much to the photos.

Fire crews rushed to the scene in Elie this afternoon.

Video here - sounds like there was some sort of explosion

No one injured, apparently. But I wonder if the council's new 'fire extinguisher location sticker' on the dashboard could have helped or hindered things in certain scenarios?

was it fitted with a lithium ion batteries ?

Quite a modern(ish) motor. I wonder if it does school runs.

Or should I say, did school runs.

A diesel apparently, as I said in the original post.

Also saw it stated that it was a hybrid.

And a very credible source on social media said Ford had just fitted a new engine a few weeks ago
