XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 7m 13d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 26/06/05 04:34 PM Share Posted 26/06/05 04:34 PM A few weeks age Current Affair or Today Tonight ran a story about how honest people were. They left personal belonging behind at a hotel, taxi, restaurant, rent-a-car etc and wanted to see how hard it was to get the stuff back. The taxi that they left a breifcase in was one like pictures here, Turbo with 18s and sunroof. Might be the same car pictured, the car got a lot of air time because the taxi driver returned the case to the owner.

OwnaXR6T Member 1,519 Member For: 22y 5m 6d Location: Sydney Australia Posted 27/06/05 03:03 AM Share Posted 27/06/05 03:03 AM Wow a XR6T taxi! They are reasonably economical if driven sedately but no where near the cost saving of a XT on LPG and then there's the 18" tyre costs and extra servicing costs to factor in and you have to ask why. Most taxi owners complain how hard it is to make a buck. The guy that owns it must be a real Ford nut.I cop a from a couple of other forum members because I Rapid XRs/F6s and these heathens compare them to taxis because of the colour smilarities. This is just going to ad fuel to their fire! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ive seen about 3 of them in sydney..

Hard to tell exactly. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/18441-turbo-taxi/page/2/#findComment-267090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
