A haven for pistonheaders?
Discussion
Inspired by this thread, and the "gated" communities prevalent in the US, is there anywhere in the UK that I can move to and be surrounded by like-minded petrol heads?
I would love to live near to a circuit, the closer the better, and with people that I can relate to and not just have to make small-talk about the latest celeb nonsense.
Does anything like this exist in the UK? If not, I think it should!
Anyone else think it's a good idea in principle? Or is it just a pipe dream.............

I've moved around quite a lot, somehow I always end up meeting like minded petrolheads. Go to the local pub, slip into the conversation what car you drive and occasionally a car nerd will shine through, he will then lead you onto more nerdy car people.
You must be careful though not to advertise too much about your keeness for cars as its not trendy anymore and you will be shuned.
Football and playing the guitar seem to be great social circles.

I live in the USA (moved a while ago) and would LOVE to live in a sortt of gated community dedicated to petrolheads. I haven't found any so far.
Imagine- borrowing tools or getting together to work on each others projects.
There was a guy who started a sort of automotive country club out here- that kind of inspired me

I don't think it would be possible in this country. An eco-mental would move in then complain about the noise and danger to children/kittens and get the place shut down!
I would love it if it could be feasible though, I would happily move in.
We could have a democratically elected vetting committee or similar to stop any of these aholes in!I would love it if it could be feasible though, I would happily move in.
