Surely it wasn't BigH's mention of midgets that turned you into a full member  ------------------------------------ I hope not, that would be seriously worrying  |

PS Think you'll find the Stella Bar is to the top left of your pic?
Not the Stella bar at Tetre Rouge, that is top right I hate to be the bearer of bad news but........................The Stella Bar may be in the picture, but it's not there any more.  According to Keith at the weekend when he went to the 24 Moto the Stella bar has already gone, the road to Carrefour is all dug up for the tram track and has single way traffic, and part of the mulsanne is currently dug up for the trams as welll!! |

Holy mackerel!!
We're going to have to completely re-jig our bar-crawl, all of our favourite watering holes seem to have been dug up. I can feel a local increase in gravity and torpitude coming on around our camping area. Mountains and Mohammed and all that.
I remember someone (Gilles or KPY?) saying that the Stella Bar had had a stay of execution until 2007, looks like someone sneaked in there with a hatchet when they were least expecting it. The Heineken bar, or whatever it's called now, seemed to have been over-run by football shirt type In-ger-lund morons last time I was there, what's a man to do? I reckon JCB owe us a bar with free beer for the weekend as compensation for the anguish their products have caused us over the last year or two. It's only right.

So, is that the Stella Bar on the outside of Tetre rouge, that has been demolished?
It doesn't bear thinking about.
On of the finest pints of Wife Beater Iever tasted was served up there.
Please tell me it's still there!!!

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

f**k the lot of them I say. If they want to bulldoze a bar that I have had many a good time in and spent a lot of money over the years then that's their f**k*ng loss. It seems to me that the takings from the 24 hours, the classic and the 24 hour moto alone would have made up hell of a chunk of their annual profit. Wether it was a compulsary purchase order that flattened or the owner gave it up volintarily it got to be detrimental to the local economy.
Well bollocks, if they don't want my money I'll stay on the campsite and get pissed on my own beer, or someone elses.

I have just spoken to Isabelle who has been manager of the Stella Bar for the last 2 1/2 years. She assured me that they are open as usual, til 2am every day and open 24 hours Thursday Friday and Saturdayon race weekend. She will have a special English menu, whatever that is, An English band playing on Friday night and large screen TVs for the football. She is also putting more tables out the front and has a license for 350 people. So a bit of good news |
