Default ok i take back all the bad things i ever said about tolls

as i went on the m6 toll last night, best 3 quid i ever spent and will be spending again this weekend


only complait is they should limit the amount of flies they allow on there as its covered me car in blood and stuff

but has to be said fooking nice road, best road i ever been on, i was the slowest too

they need to fit a petrolstation on it though as i saved about 1 1/2 hours of me journey ( fooking roadworks and specs cameras)

my advice to anyone who lives near m6, go on there and have fun

fooking loved it

i want a toll road near me

Innit mate, Just went through France and Spain, and I take it all back too. Ended costing a bit, but then again we did travel 3000 miles there and back. But damn!! They were smooth as you like.

So the M6 toll, is it police free or do you stand a good chance of getting caught using such an empty bit of road?

if it nice n quiet it easy to outrun the piggies anyhow, apart from having to stop at the toll, but surely you stop at the START to pay, not the end?

I would say its a good way for pigs to fund more resources and a much higher catch rate than "other" roads

I didn't say that, I said you pay at the end when going north, and the same applies if going south as the roads are separated by a barrier (incase you didn't know )

When I went to meet Nikteazer there was a CRX Vtech that I had been playing with who was next to me as we paid. The guy in the booth shit one when I did a 5,000rpm launch off after I had paid. I let off at 160 (indicated clock speed)
