Schumacher - Germany’s fastest taxi driver?

But why did Schumacher needed a taxi in the first place? Relax there was no big emergency! Just a puppy! Yes, a puppy! Schumacher flew into the aerodrome at the Bavarian town of Coburg on Saturday and took the taxi to the village of Gehuelz, 30 kilometres away, to pick up a new puppy - an Australian Shepherd dog called "Ed". And he wasn’t alone: his wife and his two children were with him.

Tuncer Yilmaz, the cab driver, said: "I found myself in the passenger seat, which was strange enough, but to have "Schumi" behind the wheel of my cab was incredible."

And if you consider that at the end of the journey Tuncer took a nice tip (on top of the 60 euros (88 US dollars) fare, he was also given a 100 euros (146 US dollars)), we can say that it was indeed a good day for him!
