David Beckham wants to buy his own taxi.
The retired soccer star - who has children Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 11, Cruz, nine, and two-year-old Harper with wife Victoria - has been shopping for an iconic London black cab as he hopes the vehicle would help him blend in amongst other motorists.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "David reckons having a London taxi will help him sneak around incognito.
"Being one of the most recognisable faces on the planet means it's sometimes hard for him to do his normal day-to-day errands.
"He loves his fans, and always tries to make time for them, but sometimes he just wants to nip out to the shop like a normal person.
"People usually spot his flash cars a mile off, so he thinks a low key taxi would be the perfect disguise in London.
"Plus if he's running late, he could use taxi lanes and get away with it!"
David is no stranger to coming up with clever ways to go undetected in public.
Last October, the 38-year-old hunk attended a Halloween party in New York without a costume, but when asked who he was dressed up as, just said himself - and was complimented on his convincing disguise.
A source said at the time: ''Beckham was practically the only person at the party not in costume - but because of this barely anyone recognised him.
Somebody asked him, 'What's your costume?' He said, 'I'm going as David Beckham,' and the person replied, 'Wow, you look just like him!' ''

Beyoncé's handmade tour outfit was stopped by customs.
The 'XO' hitmaker is set to kick off the European leg of her 'Mrs Carter World Tour' in Portugal tomorrow (26.03.14), but there was a frantic panic a few days ago when her one-legged jumpsuit, which she'll wear on the opening night, was refused entry by the EU authorities.
The attire, made from silver cobra, was designed by Rubin Singer, who uses rare skins from Europe and Asia and moulds them into stunning fashion pieces.
However, the 32-year-old singer's stylists sorted out the paperwork with customs and the outfit arrived just in time for her glamorous show tomorrow night, according to the New York Post newspaper.
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty has just finished her UK and Ireland leg of the tour, which saw her intersperse old favourites such as 'Crazy in Love' and 'Single Ladies' with tracks from her fifth studio album, 'BEYONCE', which she released with no forewarning in December.
Beyoncé ended her concerts with the uplifting 'Halo' and a cover of 'I Will Always Love You'.
However, the final act also included the poignant new ballad 'Heaven', in which the star sings of the death of a loved one.

Kimberley Walsh "burst into tears" at her first ultrasound scan.
The former Girls Aloud singer and long-term boyfriend Justin Scott are expecting their first child together and the 32-year-old beauty was overcome with emotion at her 12-week check because she is already convinced the baby looks like her.
She said: "I burst into tears at my first scan. It was the profile that got me: I think it looks like me,
"I was overcome with emotion, I don't know where it came from.
"I saw the baby wriggling away and burst into tears, crazily so. It suddenly felt real and it mustn't have done until that point."
Kimberley and Justin, 31, are not planning to find out the gender of their unborn tot as they would rather have an "amazing surprise" when he or she is born.
Speaking to the new issue of Britain's OK! magazine, Kimberley said: "We won't find out the sex - it's one of those amazing surprises in life that you can't buy.
"I really want Justin to tell me. You need to be looking, as I'm going to be desperate to know."
The 'Promise' singer also revealed her best friend and former bandmate Cheryl Cole wept when she told her the happy news.
She said: "Cheryl burst into tears of joy when I told her I was pregnant."

Emma Watson missed an Oscars after-party because she fell asleep.
They 23-year-old actress was planning on joining a host of A-List stars at Vanity Fair's bash on Sunset Boulevard on March 3, but dozed off instead of changing her outfit when she returned to her hotel so she decided she couldn't be bothered to go out, instead choosing to indulge in pizza and relax.
She explained: "I had plans because the Vanity Fair party is very exciting and everyone goes. I got back to my hotel room to change, took the dress off, got into someone's coat and ended up falling asleep in the coat. Someone woke me up like 'D'ya want to get changed to go to the party now', I was like 'I kinda just want to stay here.' So I just ate pizza and fell asleep."
Emma - who was catapulted to the spotlight in the 'Harry Potter' films as Hermione Granger - presented the Best Visual Effects Award to the 'Gravity' team alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt at the Academy Awards, and although she was initially excited, after releasing how many people would be watching the show her nerves began to creep in.
Speaking on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show', she said: "[It was my] first time at the Oscars, it was very exciting. I thought the show was amazing. I was doing fine actually, I wasn't that nervous at all. Joseph was holding my arm before we were meant to go out and I was like 'You know what, I feel so grateful to be here and this is amazing, I actually feel really calm.' He was like 'Yeah, this is fine and this a great experience and only like a few billion people will be watching us in two minutes.' I was fine [gasps] and was fine, and now I feel so un-fine, so thanks Joseph for that."

Kanye West thinks he has found the next Rihanna.
The 'Blood On The Leaves' singer is reportedly working in the studio with "hip" 17-year-old singer Pia Mia Perez and he is hoping to transform her into a star like the 'Diamonds' hitmaker who has achieved global chart success.
A source told Radar Online: "Kanye is producing some tracks for her and he's quite involved. He believes she could be the next Rihanna. [He] thinks she's young, fresh and hip - totally his target audience.
"He's been consulting her on a lot of his creative projects, including the Kanye x APC collection."
Pia - who is best friends with Kylie Jenner - first stepped into the spotlight last year when a video of her singing Drake's 'Hold On We're Going Home' in front of the Canadian rapper and Kanye at a dinner party hosted by Kylie's family, including Kanye's fiancee Kim Kardashian, went viral on the internet.
It's claimed Pia - who signed a deal with Interscope Records in February - is also becoming Kanye's most trusted adviser, which is rumoured to have annoyed Kim.
The source added: "Kanye's creative team was pretty shocked that he would use a teenager as his confidante.
"And Kim was actually kind of agitated by it, because he doesn't usually want her input on design stuff. She was a little jealous."

The 40-year-old actor suffered the painful injury while shooting the 'Entourage' movie last week while playing football with Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who has a cameo role in the film.
Kevin tripped on a sprinkler while trying to make the play, resulting in co-star Jerry Ferrara falling on his leg.

"One time Kourtney and I sat in my mom's closet - we must've been eight or nine - and we were like, 'If Mom dies, we're going to write down who gets what.' We went through every last piece of her wardrobe. We were so mean then!"
