Default Re: Street Machine - Turbo Taxi

He was man enought to admit human error, and accept the result - unlike so many others who would claim a 'roo, dog, or another driver who mysteriously took off.
I have a lot of time for Scotty - he does realistic stuff, on a working man's budget, that we can all take inspiration from (OK, he does get some gratuity from sponsors & the like, but it's not a chequebook build).

The taxi was originally an eGas with a 4 speed BTR, and they don't have stability control in them. It wasn't fitted to LPG FGs until the LPi was released, with the ZF 6 speed.

I don't think the shell will be economical to bend back into shape, but having all the good bits on it, which don't appear to have been damaged, it wouldn't be too expensive to find another cheap cab & transfer it all - especially if he can get the use of a workshop & hoist over a weekend.

I hope it makes a return. I've been enjoying the series.
