Been looking at the taxis and they are all sorts, as they don't seem to have a MOT here there are loads of original Fiats, then all the other types of the same car are quite a lot less numerous. They are all dreadful to ride in the back of as there is no headroom!

The 126 I had was less a wet dream and more a fiery nightmare!

Any a-series out there?

Talking about that shit.... I saw "hundreds" of those when driving through Poland after the worldmeeting in Czech last year. Here's one (Fiat 126 isn't it?) from Warsaw:

It reminded me of a freaky 2CV. The owner looked to be one that would like a 2CV-meeting :D
