Was deciding what pub to go to tonight and really wished there was a pistonheads pub! smile

Where should it be located? Maybe near a good driving road with space for a campsite and drag strip?

What should be in the pub? Maybe heated electric leather seats from BMWs? TV showing racing/Top Gear constantly? eg tonight could watch the Isle of Man TT or Moto GP.

Could see a few problems such as the council installing 100 speed cameras around the pub or the police breathalising everyone driving out the pub car park.

What's everyones ideas?

I once went into a pub in Paris and it was the most PH pub I have ever been in!

It was crammed full of motoring stuff like complete trackday VW Golf just parked up at the bar and a Formula 1 engine next to our table.

Don't what ever you do buy a public house.
Bitter experience taught me that it's a good way to dump cash.

Are you comfortable in the presence of right-wing nutters?

A hotel in Madeira had a bar in the basement, which was also the garage housing all of the owner's cars. Included in this collection was a number of Ferraris and a huge collection of Ferrari memorabilia.

One of my family members managed to make it profitable financially, it just ended up nearly killing him!

Long hours and is a lot harder work than people expect, certainly not as fun as I thought it would be!
