Right I'm going to have my two penneth worth, Plain and simple the TX range is complete piece of Gerald Rattiner
When its wet or icy have you ever tried an emergency stop with no abs and just for good measure on a hill
The Euro cab will stop in under half the distance, and with it having abs you can control the direction you want to go as you still have steering, and there is more room for wheel chairs and passengers and they have 6 or 7 seats 8 if you want to, so you can get more free paying under 12s in so the punters will love them more than the tx
Oh I forgot the 5 year UNLIMITED MILAGE WARENTIES so It wont cost a penny to fix in the unlikely event of anything going wrong, and the extra 15 miles per gallon even more on a long run and no more steamy windows due to the very good air conditioning

And the E7 and suchlike are vans with seats and they're French too!

But what if your not an idiot? the thing is I already get held up by PH vehicles carrying out three point turns in the middle of busy main roads, A professional driver would not do that would they, they would find a safe place to turn (where possible) without causing inconvenience to other road users, also since they are pre booked they should know which direction they are going in, we on the other hand have to respond to someone hailing us.

Well the LTI vehicles will also have ABS shortly I believe? I have managed for 25 years without ABS and never had a blameworthy accident.

Well Scotsman how many streets can you do a u turn in Edinburgh, with all the one way streets and parking on both sides I would say about 15%
And how much does it cost you to run your TX over 5 years not forgetting you only get a 100,000 mile warranty that will be used up in 2 years or less,
then the extra fuel and servicing costs and the discomfort of sitting in a confined space
Have you ever had a test drive of Euro cab???? just to see what your missing if you haven't don't go on about it, as they say don't look a gift horse in the mouth
and just think with all that extra drivers room you can stop the diet

I should add that prior to the advent of ABS there was your own ABS it was called Cadence Braking, used it a few times and it worked, of course you needed a presence of mind to use it.

My RSM in the army used that phrase, We don't mind and You don't matter

It's not just the Euro Cab though is it, the door is open, what else is going to come through it.

Any thing cheaper than a TX

Anyway where do you get the figure of 15% from skippy?

You dont have to get a Euro cab , you could get the VW caravell taxi

We've had two Eurocabs, they run alright, but they're a van FFS.

The warrenty for the non Peugeot bits is a nightmare, although in fairness the E7 is a hell of a lot better than the TW in respects of warrenty work, but far worse than LTI.

15% might be a bit on the low side, but have a think about it most of the main routs are one way and nearly every side street has cars parked on both sides

Well Mr Honest Scotsman you still have the opportunity of a nice shiny TXIII when they hit them market, not only that you can tell them to omit the ABS. I'll take a bet you might even get it a bit cheaper now that Lti have some competition.

This is a win win situation for guys like you
