It's a ML350 or CDI , not a real ML63. Just look at the brakes and u can tell.
This taxi got his parts at SR. He started off with some bigger wheels and body kit, then he switched back to this ML63 theme. He's always on Granville Street Vancouver.

Harvey Specter 04-23-2010 04:46 AM

I've seen that ML taxi around as well. I think the guy that owns that ML taxi is the same guy who owned Prius with had rims, tv screens and other mods.

nosaj 04-23-2010 06:36 AM

Heheh

It's a Diesel ML. He used to have the blinged out Prius Taxi. Chrome wheels, underglow neons, in dash dvd + 12" overhead DVD.

We did the stereo work for him.

He's definately quite a character ;)

TouringTeg 04-24-2010 08:15 AM

Nice.

Reminds me of the original Taxi and Taxi 2 movies made in France. Lots of French rap and much better chase scenes that the north american version.

vash13 04-24-2010 10:46 AM

Man I love the reaction of the lady's face when he rips the porsche down the street. Wish my car can do that to the ladies :cry:

yoon89 04-24-2010 07:27 PM
