Our first breakdown and we've not even set off yet!
2010 London Taxi TX4
She’s got more miles on the clock than most cars will ever see. But she’s still got it where it counts. A proper London black cab taking on the Highlands — what could possibly go wrong?
Steve is the founder of Spacestar Digital with a love for cars and roadtrips with friends. He's already done the North Coast 500 and a rally around Wales, although in something a bit more reliable. At home he keeps a 1998 classic Mini Cooper in British Racing Green.
Jonny’s experienced road trips in America and Scotland already, which means he’s qualified to take on the most important job on the trip; the playlist. And, as the taxi’s DJ, he’s taking requests (as long as it’s for hip-hop or country music.)
Luke enjoys a good road trip, questionable navigation decisions, and any excuse to drive something with character. He's usually the one suggesting the scenic route, even when it adds two hours. The taxi might regret letting him behind the wheel.
