Maybe we should do a thread for vehicles unexpectedly working as taxis?
I got a ride in Pug 205 taxi - but the was in Cuba so wasn't that odd - in fact it was odd that it wasn't a Lada, or a late 50s/early 60s American car of some kind.

I thought that Cedric was a Laurel. Nice MK2 Granny - a car I have always aspired to, but especially in estate form, but will probably never own. In my estimation they were a huge leap forward from the mk1 (of which my old man owned 2 “in period”)

Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - It was fun while it lasted

Re: 2003 Mercedes E320 CDI Estate - It was fun while it lasted
Access isn’t as brilliant as I had hoped - the three 13mm bolts that fix it to the exhaust manifold can only be got at with a ring spanner - I have done the easy one but had to go and buy another spanner as despite having 3 13mm combination spanners, a ring spanner and 2 13mm ratchet spanners none o...
