Mate has had a lift twice with some bloke who drives a dark blue WRX (from what he describes).

Has anyone else seen it?

Your mates not wrong!!!!
I've seen it myself, plastered in 555 stickers, although I suspect it's probably a tarted up Sport or similar. Can you imagine the running costs using a Turbo WRX as a taxi????

Mark G,

From what mate said, pretty sure it's the genuine article. Mate said he s**t himself it was so quick.

Mate says the driver is an Asian guy.

Regarding the running costs, he could just add a lot more to the charge for the privilege . I'll ask my mate how much it was.

You are right!!

This guy is another fellow Asian I have said alright to him in passing a few times, when visiting Bristol as I used to live there.

The car is very tidy, post 97, light blue met, 555 all over it, SS back box, tints, mmm gold wheels...The only way you know its a cab is the aerial stuck on the back, under a bit of cloth.

I will get his name next time..

I don't believe it. When I was selling my MY2000 lasy year, an Asian guy from Bristol phoned me. Told me he wanted a Turbo to use as a taxi. In roundabout and polite terms, I told him to foxtrot oscar. His name was Mr Ali. Same guy?

Mate has his phone number for whenever he needs a lift - still don't know his name.

When I go out on the town, I will look out for him.

Cheers,
Tom

Cool

This was discussed on POTN a few weeks back.

Believe it or not his mate runs an EVO4 as a taxi.

There might be some sense in having it as a taxi...

Put the mods through the books..servicing... fuel...company car... even the insurance might work out quite good
