XR6 Turbo Taxi

Tonight I had a ride in a XR6 Turbo taxi. It was white in colour with premium sound (Colour LCD etc). He said he ordered it on September 2002 and took delivery in March. He has done 45k already. The only problems he has had is the front disks have been machined twice and there is a squeak coming from a rear wheels.

I gave him the FF address and told him about the XR club, he said he will try to log on.

I've talked to a guy I work with who has racked up some decent kms on their XR6 Turbo and they also complained about having to get the discs machined a few times.

Must be a common fault.

Re: XR6 Turbo Taxi

Express Taxi Service hehe

was he charging more than usual cabs?...like considering he was using petrol, and a turbo usually has a higher fuel consumption?
do u know what company he was working for?

Re: XR6 Turbo Taxi

It was the usual price, but I tipped more as I thought it was a cool ride. Sorry I didn't get the company name, but I'm sure I'll see it again.

Re: XR6 Turbo Taxi

I've seen quite a few XR6 taxi's in Wellington (NZ) im not to sure if they were turbo's though (going to fast so maybe they were), they look really nice though.
White Ba's look better than i thought they would after seeing a few diffrent models in white
