Clerkenwell to Gt Suffolk Street 20th March 2023
It’s a not a difficult decision at all mate. keep that until the end of its life ITS FREE. The only problem you have is getting parts
. Why they not doing colours. Not a good sign. Maybe they are winding down the taxi business. And gonna push the new mini cab Levc coming out ?
Er WTAF is happening at 7.10 - 7.18? Is he having a laugh? If he think that look is acceptable, then he needs help!
I got a better idea for you get a real job Gobbie cabbie the elite of donkeys 😂
Best ive had is goddards in Greenwich and im east london
Goddards is not my favourite I am afraid, and I have tried most Pie & Mash shops around London
@@JamieTheCabby it's all about opinions mate.
I love the old cabs.
Parts/getting tx4 serviced repaired going to become harder and harder. If you’re going to work next 5 years just lease a txe on PCP service package no worries.
Knackering yourself and the car out.
I can’t see how you come to that conclusion?
If it's the best food in London i would not live there. Really?
Hiya Jamie, I would be brutal in your assessment of what you go for next. Everything comes down how much that cab is gonna make you per hour! Its a numbers game regardless. As soon as emotion comes into what your doing mate that's where you'll fall foul. Let's say for instance you became ill and your cab had to be sold you need that motor to give you enough to cover you so your not out of pocket. I've learnt this with my business you have to think it's not your baby it's a capital asset which you can eventually sell on to make money. As James Sinclair says innovate or evaporate! Do whatever you can to make yourself a successful business, apps,tours,weddings, contract work if it makes you money don't let others tell you it's wrong for you it's wrong for them they aint driving your cab or paying you a wage! What ever you do fella do it without emotion!
You could get a white wrap on the cab probably cheaper than what LEVC sell the white one for. What is your 5/10 year plan? Buying one is only probably worth it if you plan to work for the next 5 years. Are you looking to wind down or continue at the current rate? Just try and remove the emotional element from it 😊 We all get shiny object syndrome and all taxis will yield the same money.
Keep the TX4, sounds like you have something special with it, finance a used car for your wife, it'll be a lot cheaper than the LEVC lease/finance payments
personally if i need a taxi and line cabs i will not use the new ev ones im more happy jump older all diesel, older the better even if metro cab they seem to be rare these days. i like engine noise what ever it is
Love you, cousin Bob ❤️
The fact you can't make a decent living without doing a side hustle proves that the whole black cab trade is a dodo
What do you consider to be my side hustle? Interested in your thoughts mate 👍🏻
Potential of 70g a year if they don’t sit on ranks moaning
It’s a no brainier buying a new cab it’s all off set against tax if your freehold your be paying more tax to ride around in a old cab I only work part time and pay no tax cos my costs wipe out any tax owed
Forget the white and weddings. Just do max income, take every job and lower your out goings. Keep cab and sell for £6000 cash when done.
F the weddings , taking up 50% of time and 15% of weeks wages. Just go to work in your owned cab. If you have doubt or questions. Not for you so.
Don’t mind expensive cars. Concentrate on the business decisions. Get a i10, c1, mii, citigo , Aygo runaround, or leaf electric
Calculator tells you over next ten years. Whats cheapest. Have you ten years work left in you
Jamie, wear your seatbelt.
He’s using his legal right not to
Make a list of the the options, costs for and against Do nothing keep the motor you have until it gives up Give up on the Idea of the white txe that's forcing your hand now if you want out within a couple of years or so If you are planning on staying in the game long term then you need to cross the bridge anyway sometime why put it off jump in and get the white motor The txe is a lovely smooth drive once you adjust and get settled into it much better than a tx4 a new warranty is piece of mind but you pay more for it a hybrid electric petrol is the way to go although if you can cash in your old motor then you are quids in to begin Photographs of your motor doesn't put money in your pocket Never get attached to a motor they will always let you down eventually Be lucky
Just buy a black one and wrap it yourself, worst cast remove the wrap and try again 🗞
Give it up mate it's a mugs game
Go for it !! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I may well do Martin 👍🏻
Hey Jamie , whatever decision you made , hope it all goes well Guvnor 👍👍. Be lucky and looking forward to more of your content👌👍
Thanks Nick, appreciate the feedback back mate 👍🏻
@@JamieTheCabby 👍Your welcome mate
I think the problem is you’re too emotionally tied to the taxi you have . The main plus of getting a txe you didn’t even mention is the savings you’ll make every week on fuel ! Could easily be £100 a week saving and as for whether you’ll get the finance they can give you an answer over the Phone within couple hours . Need to face facts electric IS the future of taxis whether we like it or not !
Jon you are possibly right about the emotional attachment, and yes I forgot to mention the potential fuel savings, when I filmed this I did it have the decision on the finance and hadn’t really made my up my mind either way, but I was cleared for the finance before I put this out but still hadn’t made up my mind
no its not if you do not spend many fare charging. its a fraud a money grab that all it is. LEVC Vista ; Price: £62,719 (with Plug-in Taxi Grant) ; Price as tested: £67,129 you can go a very long way for £60k by that time you prob be retired with change over . and far better than funding WW3 as china has plans to invade Taiwan that trigger usa to get involved also means we will be at war with china, buying a Chinese car you funding that and death of many thousands
Watched all that and got nowhere 😂 Yes another video “I bought one” 😂
Hope you enjoyed it!
If you have to buy one eventually and can afford one then get one. The black one does look smart to be white. I’ve seen ones with sponsors on? Do they get paid much for that ?
The adverts are worth about £1000 per year, but I have never liked adverts on Taxis
The cheapest vehicle is always the one you already own.
Not necessarily, some TX2 owners had awful experiences and found it cheaper to swap them for a new TX4
Can’t you spray that cab white?
or wrap it.
I could but the cost would be prohibitive for a decent job, probably about £5000-£8000. Plus I already own an unlicensed white TX4 that I use for weddings. Clients are asking for white electric TXe’s
There’s your answer
Not sure what it would look like wrapped in white but it would cost around £1500 to do
@@JamieTheCabby buy milk float, put old cab shell on it because that what they want. what fools asking ev taxi the world has gone mad
Hi Jamie hope what ever you decide it all work out wish you all the best. Be lucky
Thanks Baz, appreciate that mate 👍🏻
i had the same problem many years ago i had sold my cab moved to Toronto and my wife wanted to come back to uk i had no money and no home so i leased a taxi and bought the first house i liked and in the long run i ended up better than before but they were all big decisions
👍🏻
Geogie Vyse sold 2 cabs for me he was a real nice guy
George was a great guy
One tip Jamie, wear a microphone so your level with you guest :) I subbed to Tom, ages ago. I puts out great content.
Thanks for the feedback mate, that was recorded a long time ago and I only had the one radio mic at the time, subsequent videos I had a two mic system so the audio was a lot better. Thanks for the watching 👍🏻
Slayyy I am with Leah right know
Say hello for me, lovely family
great content, music is too loud though.. maybe something a bit more peaceful for time lapse?
Thanks for the feedback mate, I will keep that in Munns for future videos
How do new cabbies learn how to access the feeder park and navigate the feeder park?
New drivers normally learn the system from more experienced drivers, when I first worked the airport I found older drivers were always willing to give advice and educate those who were new to the airport
Wear your seatbelt.
We are exempt, but thanks for your concern
Really interesting to see how the taxi system works at Heathrow Great video
Thanks a lot!, really glad you liked it 👍🏻
Can you get a fare from Heathrow to Gatwick? How much would that be fare wise?
Yes you can, I think the price is approx £150
Enjoyed watching 😊
Thanks Adam, more to come 👍🏻
I drove a cab for 35 years -I gave up after covid and now earn £14 an hour sat on a reception desk -People don’t realize the overheads cab drivers have-I now get paid holidays,sick pay and don’t have to deal occasional awkward passengers .
Jane the overheads are ridiculous, don’t blame you, you need to do what makes you happy, personally I cannot work in an office anymore, it drives me mad being stuck in the same place all the time, but good for you getting out of the trade 👍🏻
It's a no brainer Jane if you want to have a life and work 35 to 40 hours a week. I did the same.
Excellent channel Jamie love watching all of your content 👍 brilliant channel much respect and appreciation for your channel love from Dublin
Shane, thanks for the very kind feedback mate, I really do appreciate it, glad you like the content, lots more to come
That is a shite gaff for pie and mash
Which is your favourite Pie & Mash shop?
@@JamieTheCabby Back in £.s.d. days, Manzies in Walthamstow sold jellied eels, pie, mash and liquor with adams ale. On saturdays, outside on their market stall, huge crowds would stand and watch as you chose your live eels and watched them being chopped up
Black cab,Uber its all finished no cash jobs no distance jobs minimum wage after all the hours excruciating expenses.
The first expenses are excruciating but then so is the cost of living! Uber drivers should not be accepting cash jobs as there is no cash on the app. This job is what you make of it, you either enjoy it or hate it, I still enjoy driving a Taxi
I noticed you are driving an older cab, are you planning on buying or renting the new shape cab?
Why are all LHR cabbies so Fat?
Many years ago when I drove cabs in the provinces one of my first Airport jobs was to T3(if memory serves)and looking for a place to be able to pick up my customer I inadvertently joined a black cab rank!!!How embarrassing!Luckily it was moving,and having apologised to the cabbies in front and behind me I just carried on through.Never did that again believe me😅😅
It happens more often thank you might think so your not alone
Wage bill for that 30 seconds gotta be about 10 grand. Almost what you make in a day :)
😂😂😂 I can only dream of earning that sort of money
Keep them coming Guvnor......👍👍👌
Thanks Nick 👍🏻
How many hours you worked and how much you made???
