Motors Chat - Round 8

Alanstrainor · 2013-05-16 12:02:48

Continuation from motors chat round 7 1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat. 2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )…

Guess who forgot to pay his M50 toll again. This guy! Don't think I've ever managed to do it by the next day :pac:

I wouldn't even attempt to remember to pay it. Account all the way even do I probably don't go through it 10 times in the year.

The 50c a month is worth the tag just to be able to pop into the express lane and back out and up to 160 120 again before the rest have even come to a stop at the change booth.

I think I have beaten express lane users when using the booth myself on the M7. I think I was late for a meeting :o
But yeah, I wouldn't like to be doing that every time.

Only car people know how much that kind of a wait hurts and drags out

You pay in a shop and they'll give you your change.

They do not. I even tried keeping it in the sunglasses holder, no dice.

Ah I was hoping I wouldn't need to squeeze it in beside the dashcam along with the NCT, tax, insrance discs and N-plates.

If it does not then the cameras pick up your reg, contact eflow to check if you have an account and charge your account, I have been doing this for 3 years.
