Hotel for Petrol Heads - wunderbar
So you wanted to do it in the back of the car and never had the courage ? Now's your chance.. go to the V8 Hotel..
The V8 Hotel offers punters the chance to sleep in anything from a Morris Minor to a Mercedes.
Visitors to Stuttgart's Meilenwerk — a German international hub for car dealers — can canoodle under the stars at the drive-in, tune their engines in the workshop or even enjoy a night's rest at the car wash.
Built inside the city's old Boblingen Airport the hotel also has a suite built on three levels within the building's former control tower.
For around £312 a night visitors can stay in the 120sq/m Zeppelin Suite featuring a sauna, terrace and landscape views over the former airport grounds.
Hotel employee Heike Petzold said: "Everybody wants to stay here when they come to the Meilenwerk.
"It's really amazing because even people who live in the area come here to stay for a night in the themed rooms.
WOW! looks liek a good hotel!
Ah..ok Alan...you are right, I did not get that one...thanks for explaining it to me :P)
Kind of like the Americans with the Canadians..;)
Think you missed my point a little. It was a tongue in cheek referral. We don't hate the Germans (well I don't), but it's a long standing British tradition to make fun of them and the French.
Every nation has someone they make fun of.
Alan, I see. I was not aware that something that happened a long time ago still has people feeling bad.
LOL, just seen this post. Now that would be cool. Same thing in England would be odd though. A B&B by the A1 with an Austin Metro for a bed doesn't have the same ring to it :)
As above, a minor argument in 1914 and 1939 means we don't care much for Zee Germans.
nomerci the long love affair between Brits and Germans :(
Brit, and that would be a problem why exactely?
I would.. The only problem is that it's run by Germans :O(
Morris Minor = good old memories :0)
Britexpat do you personally recommend this place :P
LOL, did you feel like you were about to give birth?
Memories.. I used to have an old Humber with leather handles on the doors , which could be used as stirrups :O)
It'd be cheaper to do it in the back of your own car ;-)
