Is it M40 ...M42...Toll Road...M6?

Russ.

we used the toll road last year but we passed a cortina on a trailer near the NEC, he used the old M6 we used the Toll road and he got onto the top end of the M6 before us, so we all paid the toll for no advantage at all, so it depends on what everyone wants to do, i'd say old M6 for this year, what do you all think??????

[Stringpants]

Route..

I remember that....I do think that there are some roadworks at the moment though on the M6 from Spag...northwards...does anyone know about those...

I will be on the bridge above M42 at J 5 waiting for you all....give us a wave...photos will be taken...

Warwick Services for me and Carlos.

[hotrs2000]

M6 toll road all day long, you can never trust the old M6 plus the new toll road is nice and smooth for us hard as nail ride cars
