Does anyone know if the car that got washed away in cornwall with 1 dead and 2 missing was a taxiing or on an off duty run ...on the news clip of the car the phone number ( 01326 316360) on the side of the wrecked car is the number for this company..

It advertises as a discounted taxis for student but the news says it wasnt being used as a taxi at the time..1.30am in the morning...all seems a bit of odd one?

(Oh..and im back only because several of the nice people of TDO asked me to keep posting...the not so nice one in the ranks need,nt worry though...he,s still off my xmas card list..)

just took a quote off the cars & safety page [Also as ensure that all our cars meet the current 'CarbonZero' standard and are always looking for :lol: newer, cleaner, more efficient ways to ensure your health :lol: and the health of the environment. ] They wont have to look far with the R reg one!
