Life is all about surprises and stepping into the unknown, trying something new along the way. Launching in London, a unique and unexpected taxi service offers friends the chance to do exactly that.
Called the Southern Comfort Mystery Machines, the unexpected taxi service requires members of the public to register their details on the Southern Comfort Facebook page.
