taxi

I admire both the car and the people.:thumb: Niki Lauda takes Lewis Hamilton for a spin Video | F1 Video | Crash.Net

As the title says... I saw a C36 AMG badged up as a taxi today, and it made me think... if you loved driving all the time but wanted something quick, wouldn't u get a 320cdi or something? :D

This is to put anyone at rest who is worried about the mileage on their Mercedes diesel engines.If you have ever been to Cyprus you would have noticed ,ALL taxi's are Mercedes.I recently saw a 270cdi which had covered nearly 900,000km (do your conversion calculation). My point here being,stop...

My otherwise super e220 cdi has a taxi aerial mounted on the roof, above the windscreen. It spoils the car, if I take it off I'm left with a hole. Any ideas what I can put instead of it ??

There was a little snippet in Auto Express (don't laugh) about how MB are developing the Vito to be a competitor in the London taxi market. By fitting rear-steering it can comply with the tight turning circle rules. But it would be much more spacious than a conventional London cab, and cheaper...

On a trip from work to Belfast city airport I got a run in a W203 220cdi. It was 4 years old and reading 169k miles. It has only had a brake sensor repaired (one wee fault) and apart from fuel (50mpg doing taxi-ing) and routine maintance + insurance and the one repair has incurred no additional...

Just got back from Skiathos in Greece and had a ride in a brand new S-class 320 cdi taxi.I have never seen this before and wondered if it was common.Car was also fitted with sunroof,2 drop dvd players and electric leather.Not sure as about any other gadgets as my Greek is not that good.

Hi On my way to work thismorning, i was driving along - noticed that just up the road a taxi was doing a U-turn in busy traffic - pretty much ignoring the fact that it was very busy and decided that he thought he ruled the road :rolleyes: anyway, he did his turn and just as he was more or...

:D My new, but sadly temporary neighbour is a German air conditioning installer. He owns the company apparently and is installing A/C at the Ford plant in Halewood. In a garbled conversation last night, he speaks little English, he mentioned that he owns a Mercedes 500 SCE. He also has a BMW and...

Step by step instructions for the mechanically challenged most appreciated. The mileage trip on my speedo is on the blink & in trying to remove the instrument pod I see the OTG has no plug behind the speedo. I'm guessing it's removed through the front of the pod by giving it a good yank. Is...

You may have seen this before, however its definalty worth watching again :D http://www.soete.com/ring/page18/page7/page7.html Cheers, Simon

Article in Financial Times today must make depressing reading for Jurgen Schrempp. German Taxi & Hire Car Association says that since 2000 MB share of new Taxi sales has fallen from 70% to 50% at the same time as VW & Opel have risen. Problem: reduced reliability, especially with the hasty...

Hi everyone, If any of you Ring fiends are interested, the 2005 taxi bookings are starting tomorrow. So be sure to be quick to book up that date. This is the mail I got from the ring taxi guys and gals : Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, during the season 2004 unfortunately BMW Ring-Taxi slots...

Well, I've changed the C220 for a 2000 facelift E220cdi Elegance. Lovely car, amazing mpg, climate and leather is a new experience for me, cruise control is a great toy. I love the car, just one thing, the engine seems noisy(in the way diesels do), bit like a taxi. I'ts only done a genuine 61k...

Usually I'm the first to condemn this group of drivers but last night I had the strangest thing happen... I was driving back home (approx 10:30pm) after nipping out for some food and as I was pulling off from a set of traffic lights a local taxi driver travelling in the opposite direction was...
