Hunter Taxi

A Hunter Taxi?! I thought a Paykan taxi was something unique, but I guess not! Others also had the pleasure of being chauffeured around town in a Hillman Hunter! ;)

Paykan Genocide





















And here I was getting all worked up about one Hunter Topaz?! Look at this CARNAGE!!!... Shut Down that Claws of Death! Turn Off that Forklift! Put the Torch Out! For Heaven's Sake Man Drop that HAMMER!!!... Somebody Stop them please!!.. This is just too hard to witness... Leave those poor defenseless Paykans alone!!!... :@

What can you do?... The Government in Iran few years ago started giving incentive so that people could replace their old and worn out Paykans for, you guessed it right, KIA Prides and cars in that nature! This was mainly to tackle air pollution epidemic in most cities in Iran.

However these Brilliant photos were taken 40 miles south west of Tehran by: Ghader Agheli
