be mad if that's still in service! I recon it would have gone well around the clock a good few times! be like half a million miles!
I don't think it would still be in service, isn't there a maximum age for a hackney carriage? I know there is a maximum age to bring a new one into service, I'm assuming there must be a maximum age for one before it has to retire?
EDIT: A quick Google shows 'usually' a vehicle of no more than 3-5years old can be put into service, and once they are 7-8yrs IN service, they don't renew the taxi license.. 'usually' being the key word though.
