Car-Service Taxi replacement

The next horse drawn carts of the set of replacements I started to make now will override the original Taxi Services. In fact there are several versions for this service:
1) The original Taxi that is basegame/Nightlife compatible (filename: BasegameTaxi.rar)
2) The Sevice Taxi for PETS including new options (filename: CarServiceTaxi-New.rar)
3) The Service Airport Shuttle that came with Bon Voyage (filename: CarServiceAirport.rar)
Download
BasegameTaxi.rar .............. for Basegame, Uni, Nightlife, Open for business
CarServiceTaxi-New.rar ...... for Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time
CarServiceAirport.rar .......... for Bon Voyage, Free Time (This file only replaces the Shuttle Service of Bon Voyage)
If you want to replace the Taxi and the "Airport Shuttle" as well you need both "CarService..."-files.
For the latest EPs I had to provide 4 different vehicles in 2 packages though you will see the difference only in their signs.
All these vehicles use Dragon Slave's beautiful mesh of her Friesian horse. This type of horses is special in colour, the very long mane and tail and the feathered long hair on the legs.
The taxi service vehicles are prepared to use custom sound that is available here:

Note: It may happen that the wheels don't spin smoothly at once when the vehicles enter the lot, though all vertices are assigned correctly.
The driver's and the passenger's positions are correct and it worked without other problems in my tests. The horse is not animated. The lanterns in the rear of the vehicle will work at night.
Install extracting the *.rar-file to your downloads. Stop the override by deleting the packages.
Enjoy these carts in your neighbourhoods of past times if you like.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
I share my objects for free and I don't want anybody to pay or donate for them. They may be recoloured if possible and included in lots if you think they are well enough. You may upload them in your lots to any free site except the Exchange.
I spend many(!) hours of work on my vehicles and the meshes are handmade from scratch. Therefore don't claim them as your's if you clone the mesh or use it as a base. You have my permission to do so. I'm convinced that these things are made to be used. So, add a simple note within the object description, that's enough and hopefully not a hard restriction.
There might be some special rules on single objects for special reasons. Please respect them! - Thank you.
