That seat excites my ECMSAS middle seat situation.
More detail on the seat, and other taxi-specific details would be appreciated.

Also, below the sign is what appears to be another sign with the VW logo on it.

he looks to be a very proud of his new taxi. i would be too!


i don't speak the language, but it seems to say Wash Lube and Fuel

Stefan Persson’s Taxi seats

The taxi chairs are in place in the barndoor bus!

Have also manufactured a new holder for the treadmill for the winder that controls the foldable footstep
