And a significantly-raised roof line (increase looks equal to the extra horizontal section of glass added to the windshield) - probably standard for foreign taxis (?).

That picture is taken in The Netherlands (Holland)

Taxi has the Provincial License Plate

Must have been a HOT fare.

Wonder if his battery hold-down came loose and the battery jiggled-over and grounded the hot terminal against the main brake-rod ?

Interesting soda-acid fire extinguisher being used on it...

Frank, would you please explain your 'Interesting soda-acid fire extinguisher being used on it... ' comment. It looks to me that the guy is using a bucket of water. I'm missing something.
Thanks.
Dean
