Question Lancer Evo - Taxi????

Was in Blackburn last night Chrimbo shopping.

Driving back out of Blackburn, heard something rumbling up behind me in the right hand lane. Looked over as it went past and noticed it was a Lancer Evo 4, with suitably big exhaust.

Phone number on the side, and one of the Hackney Carriages placks under the number plate - this thing was a taxi!!

Anyone else seen this?

In my local town of Golborne there is a Lancer Evo VI fronting as a taxi.

Wonder if he charges any extra?

Has anyone been through the centre of Stoke on a Weekend.

There's a Castle prepared Cosworth 4x4 being used as a taxi. Sounds awesome.

I've been joking for years about using Scoobies or Evos as taxi but never actually seen one. I'm often blown away by how much grip a skilled cabbie can get out of a Mondeo; the mind boggles at being taken to the (train) station in an EVO!

Got a few accord type Rs, scoobys here in bradford, makes you wonder how they make any cash running cars like these...although many cabbies have their hands in other pies....

I guess that’s one way of laundering a shed load of drug money and general illegal earnings.
