I was in Sydney CBD yesterday and was very surprised when I saw 3 Falcon taxis in a row. That's a rare sight for me now. Falcon Taxis now seam to be the minority in Newcastle

I passed a taxi rank in Newcastle the other day that had 4 Prius's and 2 Camry Hyrbids. Not a Falcon in sight and that is becoming regular observation of mine.

Default Re: HULK FRIDAY: you dont see any falcodores inner city? (other than cabs)

I called for a taxi the other night for four people. A Prius taxi showed up

We gave the mates Mrs the front seat, she's not a tiny girl.

Me and the two mates squeezed into the back. I and Brad are 5'7" @ 100kg, and Dane is 6'7" @ 130kg.

**** me swinging, what an uncomfortable ride. I was surprised the Prius pulled the tonnage!

Give me a Falcodore taxi anyday.

Most of the taxi's I catch in Brisbane are Prius, Camry hybrids or VW - stuff all Falcons and even less Commodores. The "Silver Service" taxi's are always upmarket Falcons or Commodores, but you pay more if you specifically order one. Occasionally you'll get lucky and one will turn up at your front door. Maxi taxi's suck big time.

Cheers!

trust me I regularly go cruising in a c63 and driven it many times.. they arent slow.. unless its a highly modded xr6t you wont be blowing any doors off a c63.. they (c63) just bite n bolt for a low 12...bog stock.

in any event the c63 driver dont know the xr6t exists (or cares)

Your post is a contradiction. C63 owners don't notice or care yet here we have our very own local c63 driver telling us all about noticing and caring...

Yeah, when I was driving a Merc I didn't care about any other cars either.

Except the Merc I was driving weighed 3500kg, had sirens and red and blue flashing lights on it and I was taking it for quality control check because half the guys I worked with were mongs.

I actually own a xr6t, I don't own a c63, I just have access to one and enjoy what they have to offer.

When cruising my mate chuckles when a ford or Holden try's to race him. (It seems like they try something everytime). They think they are packing some heat and try engage in a stoush.. My mate just chuckles and says his car is worth 5-10 times their car. It's embarrassing to try and race a cheap car, like a prized fighter taking on a drunken pub brawler in the back alley. The prized fighter just won't engage. Just like The c63...it does everything gracefully...

But in the inner city you don't see such falcodores... It just seems like it's out west

More like he’s to embarrassed to be shown up from a car that not only cost’s 5 times less to purchase, but 10 times less to maintain.

Or its embarrassing being beaten by a cheap car.
Plenty of 'cheap' 'cheaper' 'poor persons' cars will eat the Mercedes for lunch, dinner and come back for more for breakfast he following day.

I know a few 1990's suzukis that would out perform it on the track!

The fishing is still good on AFF.
Seems a Troll just needs some topic baited with judgmental insecurity masquerading as a legitimate question and he catches all he can eat.
