I feel the need to point out that was my reaction after looking it up on Google. Followed by me throwing money at my PC screen while screaming "I WANT ONE".

:lol: You can get one in fairly good condition for ~£4,000 too. "FULL TIME 4WD"!
 
I heard that the file name of the taxi mission existed as unused data of FH4 in this forum before.
Even in an interview with IGN and others, PG are answering that Taxi mission is being lineuped as a business in FH4.
But still business is only "World's Fastest Rental". And Austin FX4 only available with wheelspin.

I do not know if they will add this business in the future, but are unused business facilities somewhere in the map like the World's Fastest Rental?
There are two unused barns already on the map. And, World's Fastest Rental already exists in Edinburgh from the start of the game.
In other words, even if purchase can not be done yet, the building may already exist somewhere in the map.
I ran around Edinburgh city, but I could not find such a building...

I've actually seen a building that looked like it could be a taxi rank. Can't remember where but it was on one of those streets in Edinburgh that curves and drops rather rapidly to the lower elevations. I think it was one that is usually lined with dumpsters where parked cars would be as well, I'll see if I can find it again later tonight.
 
The 2nd event in the Fortune Island seasonal championship in B-class off roaders is such a horrible experience, the vehicles are just too slow to really make any progress uphill and so the 2nd half of each lap is a really long slog up through the checkpoints before reaching a really anti-climatic jump on the start/finish straight. And there are 5 laps of it. :ouch:

EDIT: Did anyone else get more than 1 message about a free santa outfit? I had already received it last week but today 2 more messages appeared telling me I had been gifted the outfit. I haven't checked to see if I have 3 outfits or not ;)
 
Anybody else try tuning that 3-wheel Renault?

That car is ridiculous in so many ways... The weirdest, most non-sensical things, like setting the brake bias at 65 front makes it less likely to roll over.
Setting 4wd to 80% rear makes the car less likely to roll over than 50, 60, 70, 90, or 100%.
Adding a giant roof rack raises PI.
Minimum rear downforce, or maximum rear downforce, makes it more likely to roll over.
It will not turn around in reverse under full throttle in most situations, once it gets halfway it just changes direction.

I had a lot of fun with it, and I'm probably going to do the seasonal over again for fun, but what a headache it was also.
I think I tried every single possible setting and setup, outside of total idiocy, and some including it.
 
Doing the Tortoise and the Hare races to the tune of Yakkety Sax was rather appropriate... And I hate the Transit Vans, darn blocking roadhogs!

I have a livery for it:

Back in Forza Horizon 3 it was a legitimate leaderboard car, at D-Class Blizzard Mountain events :D

Those training wheel make is really easy to drive, and with decent launch and straight line speed if tuned right it ought to be.

Some of the PI limit with the seasonal races are really awkward.

The B class modern rally is another one like that. I think the only car in modern rally that is still in B class after installing rally tires is the Focus.

So I've searched around pretty thoroughly in Edinburgh and can't find any buildings that look explicitly taxi rank-like. Of course, there's nothing to say it's strictly going to be in Edinburgh but I thought that was the most likely place.

I did find what I remembered however, which turns out to be an advertisement for Isha's Taxis on every supermarket building model:

And since Isha's Taxis matches the name I've seen in a few of the files it all falls into place really.

Thank you.
And I tried searching with the name of Isha's Taxi.
I found a picture that seems to be the same building that you found.
 
Do you mean the Reliant, or is there a car I haven't found yet?
Yes, the Reliant, I couldn't remember it's name. Crazy little car that one.

I have a livery for it:

I already found it at 5am :) and have it installed and liked it. (Seems like around 5% of all FH4 players bother to give a like for the free stuff :/ )

Those training wheel make is really easy to drive, and with decent launch and straight line speed if tuned right it ought to be.
I ended up not using training wheels.
More speed, more craziness. :crazy:

Every AI car rolled at least once in every race :lol:

I don't understand how the gauges work on the Hudson's dash... but the race exhaust shaves off nearly 120lbs, so that'a fairly amazing.
 
Possible silly question coming up guys/girls. Is there any perks from doing the "Seasonal PR" stuff like the danger sign and drift ones on the main map this time around.

For anyone struggling with this, just V8 swap the Jeep CJ5. It weighs 2260lbs even with the swap and stays in B class. You can't fit the snow tires obviously, but the stock ones are more than able to handle the snow. 415hp and 2200lbs are more than enough to conquer the hill. :lol:
 
Stupid question but we can delete the gifted clothing messages and still have the outfit right? I still have all my gifted clothing messages.
 
Finally finished Drift Club on the main map. I thought Winter would make it a little easier to drift, and it was. But some spots on the track were very icy.

Now it's time for British Racing Green.

They modeled it with the speedometer (the round gauge on the left) serving as the tach. On the one hand, I can see how the mistake got made (the "1" denotes 10 mph, the "2" 20, etc.) but, on the other hand, in what universe does a WWII era 5.0L flathead six needing an 11,000+ rpm tach make sense? :dunce:
