Impressive. Big step above a Econospec Falcodore that usually drives you home. The Tassie boys have it backwards we're gettin prius's and jazz down here....

You are right in saying that it would be a lot of fun, it is, when you do the Hours and ks that I do, I like to be comfee and have some go when I need it (That’s the pros for owning a business), sometimes when i go up or come back from runs to places like, Brisbane/Gold Coast Airports or Medical Transfers, somtimes i run empty, That’s when I find its a good time to have a play in this cab. Why do I run this cab on petrol and not LPG? The suppliers of LPG in our area supply a bad mix of LPG which causes our other Cabs to have converter clean outs more often than not, we are waiting for a new supplier to supply 100% Propane to us which will be soon, than we will look at maybe converting this cab to LPG,with all the Mods,we seem to be returning good consumption figures on our long distance work, which is mainly what this cab does. Anybody looking for LPG Conversions, Talk to Adam and the boys from 1st Class Taxis on the Gold Coast for LPG fitouts,They do a TOP JOB,They will be doing our G6ET if I decide to go that way. Phildo,if you want This guy (you can call me Cabbie if you like)to help you either in the Taxi Industry or a Taxi Driving Job,Dont hesitate in getting in contact with me. I would love to help you out or set you straight. |

Welcome to the forums Cabbie. There are a few of your type on here particularly in the LPG section. Will you be going SVI or Li with the gas conversion? And like most have drooled, nice Cab there Cabbie.

Awesome. Perfect excuse to go out and have a watch.
And buy a helmet and take the bongo bus down the quarter while watching my missus' eyes roll in the back of her head.
