We often refer to lion lovers as coming from the dark side, how about 'The Jedi's Corner' or 'Jedi Torque'.

Getting away from the SW theme, 'Blue Oval Banter' or since Bill Bourke was basically responsible for giving us the GT, how about 'Bourke's Backyard'.

"Engine Room" (another vote)
"Flat Chat"
"Motor Mouth"

The thing I like most about the current Pub room is the varied content, without
the specific guidelines. This room always has the most people participating at
any time on the single 'contents' page and is a good source of the serious, the
silly, and generally interesting banter and debate.

I suggest "THE CAMP FIRE" This is taken from how Eric Banna descibes his coupe in Love The Beast. It's where they all gather to discuss things. I think a lot of us would agree that is what our cars are like when we get together with our car freak friends!!
Cheers.

Nice, but since Eric and his mates stood around the camp fire, the word camp has become more commonly associated with homosexuality such as; "He's as camp as a row of tents".
Not that I've got anything against gheys, I work with a several of them and find they're very attentive and thoughtful. When they (the people I work with) get upset they can however become quite biatchy.

What about Fairlane? It's what Henry named his home after moving to cleveland.

Also like the many permutations of "Torque" that have been put up. I reckon keep it simple.

Rename it the Holden Forum. As basically every thread in here is about Holden.
