    London's Top Minicabs

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/11...n_charge_ruse/

    Register your car as a mini-cab for £82 plus £27 a year, and you don't pay congestion charge:

    Among the luxury vehicles on the list of shame are "17 Bentley Continentals, which cost £117,500 new, three £300,000 Maybach 62s and eight two-seater Mercedes-Benz SLs". Others apparently plying their trade include an Aston Martin DB7, two Maserati Quattroportes and eight Rolls Royce Phantoms.

        At least with a Toyota you know you are going to get to your destination

          Fun with stats

          Fun with statistics: yer average cab driver earns 4 times as much as yer average cab passenger.
