Good idea, but there are lots of people out of the England/Scotland/Ireland/Wales. A few of us are from the Channel Islands too!!!

Also plenty of Europeans, Austrailians and Yanks!

I've put myself down as South for this. I'm in the middle of two big pockets of zoners. You have the Pompy/Southhampton/Dorset guys and then the guys from the middlands. Both are about 100 miles away from me in Oxford. There is another pocket of zoners around Surrey/Guilford area. Finally there is a good group of zoners from Yorkshire up to the N/E.

Where did that map go, loads of people put there mark on it so you could see the whole of the UK/world with little flags for each zoner and you could hover over and see their name and even a photo of their car.. was really clever

Would Warwick be classed as east midlands?????

I remember that map, wasn't that something Simon sorted out via a link? You could hover over flags to see who lived where?

That's doable if someone can find the link.

Would people like that as a sticky? If so, I'll whack it up as one.

Thank you for contributing.
i think its safe to assume the densest zoners come from the midlands.

http://www.mapme.com/map/E30Zoners

It wont let me add my location yet as 'I must be logged in' when editing as the map owner :?

I live in Sheffield too. That's neither North West or North East? I checked a while ago (I'm sad like that) and there were 40 something people registered from Sheffield.

AlpineAde - If you want to stick that map up in a sticky or something to try it then you can if you want. It appears to be working. Same thing as Simon's old Frappr map.

A german ICE forum had something like that which proved ill-thought-out as it showed exactly which house in which street had a tasty car parked outside; it was subsequently targeted by professional thieves. Considering how many proud Zoners put their pride and joy in their sig pics, I wouldn't expect they'd be too happy being pinpointed in such a direct way either.

As for the non-UK Zoners (like me) - it does say up top "The UK's largest E30 Community" so I wouldn't really expect to show up on a UK poll :)
