Knocked this up:  My lust for taxis is probably some sort of fetish. This one is a Toyota CROWN Comfort taxi cruising round HK. It has a crab on it. |

because, like the rest of us on here, you're a strange young man. whens the charmant getting a similar scheme? I was actually going to taxi up the Charmant until I got it and realised how good the paintwork was. It felt like it would be a real shame to do it, so I abandoned the idea! However, I keep looking at Carina IIs and early Primeras and the like, base type models in white, saloon models. Keep getting these ideas in my head to buy one around £500, then have madly low suspension which scrapes on even a slight bump, super dished wheels, rolled arches, maybe 5 degrees negative camber on the front..... and 15 degrees on the back!! Then I would paint up the bonnet and boot in black (local taxi scheme), bosh a taxi sign on the roof and park it at the local taxi rank for photos along with the rest of the Avensis and Carina lot.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

The Comfort has got my thinking cap on.... about an hour and a half from here I know where a fresh Japanese import CROWN Comfort taxi is residing, hasn't shifted in months, complete with all it's original Japanese taxi decals, and roof sign/light thing....
I could replicate your idea... as I even have a deep set of Equip 03's!

DO IT NOW!!
As in, right now! GO!
A genuine Comfort with full taxi livery and Equip 03s (and some sort of sneaky Supra Twin Turbo type engine swap) would be one of my ULTIMATE cars.

Top grammar tips!

For me, there's only one true taxi.  |
