Default Schumi's new job - driving taxis

Hell, if I was a taxi driver, I would let Schumi drive. I would let Schumi drive my own car too.

I think the taxi driver got a very good deal. A thrill ride, his taxi fare, and a generous tip. You just can't beat that.

It must be nice to live ina country where there still are some roads with no speedlimits.. What type of roads was he driving on?

I too would be egging Schumi to take the wheel.

The Coburg newspaper Neue Presse now reports that both Schumacher and Yilmaz are being investigated by police and state prosecutors.

"We are looking into precisely what happened," spokesman Jurgen Hannecke confirmed.
So much for all the publicity
