Where were the Indian cab drivers those days??? In India! The guy leaning on the car is most likely an immigrant anyway, I'm not sure about anywhere else but in Adelaide the '70s and '80s Taxi Stereotypes were Greek, Italian or other European and my Uncle was one of them. Beaded seat covers hadn't been invented but there were often Rosary Beads hanging from the rear view mirror with the air-freshener. |

I work with 4 indians out of a team of 6 and I am always hanging shit on them about their driving. Now some of them cant go back there and drive cos they are too soft with our road rules and they freak out now when driving over there cos anything goes.

I was talking to an older guy today. He said in Adelaide when he was arrested in 1960 and put in a cop car the same year, it was an FC with a taxi rail in the back in the cop cat and it was white and he was handcuffed to it. I thought he was pulling my leg but he wasn't. That taxi is cool FE ute! Never seen that colour scheme. He I found an old becks packet in the ute in an obscure place under the glovebox compartment insert. It had powder so I thought it might be cocaine until my mum told me it was a powder  |

I think by the U reg on the front taxi, and the Tricolour one it is probably Perth or W.A. (much to busy for adelaide in the 60s) Cheers Stewy  |
