That image of the back of the Superb is very misleading. Just look at the length of the seats compared to the width of the seats. It has been tampered with.


Why are people adding pictures of vehicles that are not used in the article of this thread is more of a question :lol:

You can not compare the mondeo with an mpv?? The new mondeo is wider than the older model and has a larger boot. It’s the same size as a Ford Scorpio. The boot has to be seen to be appreciated. Surprised Surprised

The new service - called greentomatocars - claims to be the first private hire service in the UK to take journey bookings via Twitter.



Some Taxis already offer that service, although a few of the 'top bods' (Cough) at the RMT Taxi branch will have some difficulty in deciding whether to use one of their promoted Minicabs or give it to one of their 23 Taxi driving members.

Dear God..by the time youve faffed about booting up yer PC, then find the Twatter site, then try and log in..then lose yer connection...then log in to Twatter again..then Trawl through a few dozen million other companies that jump on the Twatter band wagon....well...youd be just as quick reaching in to your wallet or purse and pull out the card of your favourite Taxi or PH driver and give him a ring on the phone or better still keep their number in yer mobile....You dont need to be Einstein to work that one out..

As Frankie Howard used to say..."Twitter ye not".. :roll:

It's like Facebook, next month Twitter will be out of fashion, and we'll all be 'into' Natter or whatever comes along.

I don't blame people for jumping on the bandwagon, but they could leave out the silly claims of replacing street hails.

Every time I see 'Green Tomatoes' Minicabs, they are parked up with their drivers fast asleep.

They use Priuses with Tomatoes’ transfers on them, which in all honesty makes them look like a fruit and veg delivery firm.

:lol:

You probably need to be an account customer to make bookings through Twitter for exactly that reason.

I think from the sounds of it it is a new venture with people new to the trade i doubt they've thought of that or even established much account work
