You guys need London black taxis soooo badly. They seat 5-6 and can turn in the street without doing a three point turn. The only problem is that there are fewer and fewer that are actually black :-( More and more are covered in ads. Moving billboards shouldn't surprise us though as we only need to look at Victorian photographs to see how bad it was then. Sean.

RS - what about like the cars in nascar. i mean, half the time they drive like that anyway.

Anyone else think this is the precursor to yellow cabs becoming totally covered in ads (much like some busses)? So long yellow cabs.

Well, the hubcaps don't spin...so don't worry about getting dizzy.

Does anyone else think it's odd that they're apparently advertising an alcoholic beverage (It looks like some sort of vodka) on a moving vehicle? I get that the point of taxis is that we don't have to drive ourselves anywhere, but the juxtaposition still seems odd to me.
