I know the seller of this cab. A couple of moths ago I offered to buy it from him for £3000 or rent it on a part time basis so he could still work it as well. Although I don't need it I'm tempted to buy it with another friend as a rental investment. My friend will provide the cash and I'll find a driver, ghost the licence and admin the cab.

The current owner got pissed off with having to shell out a grand every six months in passing work and thinks it must be a bad cab. What he fails to understand is that EVERY TX1/2/4 needs this amount spending on it every six months.
The thing is that it isn't a bad cab, just a delusional owner. Ex London until a few years ago and has a new autobox.

I hope the vendor's seen the light...

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Not wishing to be too pedantic about this but treehugger said pendant so the usual joke doesn’t apply.



Of course it does depend on how I’m defining pedantic.

I use an RFID metal wallet. This means that my old and battered fake Armani wallet is redundant. As a social experiment I'm going to leave it in the back of the cab tonight slid between the seat cushions. Do you think that whoever finds it will hand it to me as lost property? Also, what should I use to pad it out with? What should I write on a note left in it?

Don't leave a note. They'll check before handing it over. If they do hand it over that is.
