I know that was a trolling at me... but I'm not gonna fall for it... ok, I will!
Via simple logic... Birmingham is not in the M40/M4/M5 triangle therefore is not midlands. It is above the point made by the triangle denoting the way norf faces.
QED Brum is Norf

Speak for yourself, some of us have vast arrays of tyres much to the disgust of their better half
Plenty of knobblers on view when I open the garage door just no snow to use 'em on

Well, ok, granted. I wish I'd had a set yesterday, as I was laying out the codeboards for the route was getting a tad sketchy!!!
What knobblies do you run mate? Something else to think about if I ever do get Fake sorted for rallying proper.
