Came across this during general browsing earlier this month. Clearly an American attempt at a purpose built Taxi. Almost a rip off of Metrocab. This is like a box on wheels though.

Could you imagine GBC in one of those he would be like the terminator, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D mind you if they ever came here you would have a clear run any where as folk would get out of your way fast :lol: :D
It just goes to show that someone in America has half a brain, and if they had really thought about it, instead of copying it from a noddy book they could have a good cab,

metro cab are producing about one a month and are available but there is a waiting lis of approx 3 months. Having said that i drove the new TX4 the other day and whatever people may think it is a bit of a beast, but £35000 for the gold its a bit much, thats for the gold, very sooth very fast but still an ugly bugger with what i call bad driver visability.
For those who may not know it its the engine, be it modified thats fitted to the Chrysley Grand Tourer or simular.

So out of the 250,000 licensed drivers in the UK, a whole 3 of them want a Metro-cab. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

A policy where the LA will only license wheelchair accessible vehicles as hackney carriages.

as it should be, ours is a great council 10 year age limit, purpose built 25 feet turning circle metro or TX, 5year age limit on P/H pretenders who still call themselves taxis even though they are not.
