I think he is saying that too many fail when they should be OK.

I saw an advert today where either K&G or M&O were selling Fairways for £500. Now how can that be right? :shock:

Wouldnt have somthing to do with people thinking they got to spend £3500 on engine mods for the emissions would it?

So the PCO are getting a little bit upset because of the retests? well perhaps they shouldnt go failing vehicles on the daft things they do, you not think?

Easy answer for a minicab company, 'no sorry we don't have any accesable vehicles' , and as you claim some London Taxi drivers were minicab drivers before they became real cab drivers, i guess it must have been one of them. :?: :wink:

Where did you see this advert? (Who is K&G?) £500! that would buy you an E Reg FX4S if you were lucky. Can't see many people rushing for their offer. eusasmiles.zip

and what do they call a 'poor performing garage'? the one that (rightly) keeps failing the sheds or the one that passes them?

I think it's the ones that keep passing them when they shouldn't.

Especially the garages that are owned by the same people as own the cabs.

Strange that. :roll: :roll:

Your no safer in a clapped out 16 year old black cab than in a Licenced London Private Hire Vehicles.

Its time the Black Cab Trade came up to the same exacting standards of Licenced London Private Hire Vehicles.

You'll have to hope old "billy goat" when he's finished absorbing Anderson Young into his empire targets some of your Black Cab Hire companies for his next takeover so standards can improve.

OH and greenbadgecabby that vehicle in your avatar - you know the one with the wing mirrors - did'nt I see the same vehicle being featured in Practical Classics last month :lol:


Alternative Vehicles - oh dear its all about to fall apart.

Helmet On - watch out for incoming :roll:
