Blimey, some people are fussy aren't they?! ;D The way I see it, our hobby is constantly under threat: EU legislation on modifying, hand-wringing greenies, circuits under threat, proposed bans on older cars in certain areas, soaring fuel costs, etc etc. It's great that people are putting their money where their mouth is and starting a business to serve our hobby. A like-minded bunch of guys who are saying "Hey, come over to our place, show off your cars, have some food and bench-race with your mates" should be encouraged and supported, not pulled apart because the building is the wrong era.  |

I'll be up for a regular RR meet, 20 miles away and great driving roads to get there  . I haven't been involved in a regular RR meet for years so this is a great excuse! |

Shame here, Id be up for a monthly meet here, I grew up only a couple of miles away from this place and even now I'm only a half hour drive away.
I can't believe people are stating it due to it's signage, you mind find it's got something to do with planning permissions and being on a very busy and quick stretch of the A12.

Good post. It may well be that due to local planning laws the owners are unable to alter the facade/ appearance. Or maybe they wanted to get it up and running and get some return on their investment before going any further with the appearance which I think is quite understandable. Good luck to them. |

Jesus, knock it off. This is a car forum, not a whining little b!tch forum.
8 Ball Diner = good. I'll be going there. I don't care what the building looks like.

Nearest thing we got in the NE is the A19 OK Diner which is a good place but in my opinion just a bit awkward to get to -  |
