What a pleasant surprise.

Usually, I have a good moan about how slow motorways are due to road works or other things. Well today, caught the M5 from Birmingham, and apart from a few miles of 40mph from Birmingham, the rest of the way, right up to my turn off at junction 27, was done at national speed limit without any interruptions. Very pleased with that and a very pleasant change.

No, I am just jealous.

 

[pplpilot]

Wow! Is it OK to tell people I know you?

 

[Slick]

Of someone else driving? Are you mad?

Quite mad.

So the "Smart" part of the M5 is now complete is it?

Who are you, and how did you manage to hack gavroche's account?

Well you certainly kept that from us.

I was having a tough day, but to read of such utter joy from a fellow CCer has really restored my faith in the future of our planet.

Absolutely astounding. Post of the year.

I had the same thing on a trip up the M6 a few weeks ago, a little bit of 50mph between junction 16 and junction 19 but apart from that a straight through drive with no hold ups.

Whatever next? Accy Cyclist starting a thread which isn't about him? Donald Trump being coherent? Hell freezing over?

Cliff Richard coming out the closet?

 

[Drago]

A Labour spokesperson remembering their budget figures?

In 15 years of driving on Denmarks motorways. I think I have been caught in traffic jams about 4 times. The longest was for about 15 minutes. They always seem to be moving freely. They must have got something right in the planning.

In other news, during the height of summer, a glimpse of summer shine was observed.

You'd take the weft out of the upholstery cleaning dog vom off a car seat, I hope it shat on it too.
