She's brave, no concerns over fuel consumption then!

Not worried about having two taxis either!

Well she's got good taste in cars and likes to get her customers to their destination on time.

I presume its not the engine that is the issue then as the 3.6 V6 certainly wouldn't be short of power!  That Volvo is an animal though......

The 280 is a little underpowered, but they are lovely cars.....

That D5 is no slouch either!

Based on what I see driving in Ireland you wouldn't think there was anything bigger than a D5 available from Volvo, or that anyone makes big petrol engines anymore... Then you go to Zurich and see an S500 Merc being used as a taxi from the airport - sadly I needed a train instead :(.

You'd be forever fueling that pig.

S500 cool. Now there's a taximan with a bit of style.

Assuming it doesn't have an old CDi engine stuck under the bonnet that put in after a few years. Wouldn't be the first S500/600 badged model I've seen with a diesel rattle when it's fired up - still a lovely car of course!
