The front deffo looks like it,

and also had a big 1000 on the other bit.

Must have been mistaken on the colour, front was deffo black, I prob stopped looking at colour after that, and I was going at, erm, motorway speeds in the other direction  :y
smokebox is black. wonder where that was off to then. :)
ahhh just read your edit, theres the answer then. :y

 :o Disgusting....have you no shame! ::)

......I know it`s a quiet road; but I`m amazed it`s quiet enough for that kind of thing! ;D

On another M6 / Birmingam note...

Was the first time ive been though either way since they have finished the variable speed limits and hard shoulder use at peak times...

and WOW  Ive never got through so quickly either going or coming back, slowed to 5-10 mph at times, but never actually stopped.

I do this trip every few months, at the same time.  reckon it saved 30 mins each way!  very impressed.
Where is that?

M42 has had it for a few years...


Around the RAC building area at Birmingham, didnt take note of start end jucntions.  Think it ended southbound just after the M5 junction.
Ah, been a while since I've done that section, as I normally stretch the ol' girls legs on the toll...
The Polis have cottoned on to the M6 Toll's racetrack nature - I've been on it twice recently, and both times saw the cheeky monkeys with their cameras on bridges. You need to be a tad careful..... ;)

Yep, and if you can't speed stretch her.. erm.. make effective progress it's not worth the money IMHO.

I haven't used it for a couple of years (when I decided the price was too high) and I find those who do have taken enough load off the freebie M6 that it's rarely a problem. ;D I suppose I should thank them. :P

TBH, when I use it I don't mind the price as it's normally on expenses ::) ::)

Depends on time of day, but I will certainly be using it going, spent too much of my life with the handbrake on, looking over towards Villa Park ;D

Plus work will pay  :-X
