    Picture of the Week – Tailgating Par Excellence

    An image of quite possibly the best tailgate bar ever (and two images of the consequential behaviour)

     

    On Monday, Guest of a Guest featured what could quite possibly be the finest tailgate drinking setup ever.

     

    In a series of slides about the 96th Far Hills Running Race Meeting in New Jersey on Saturday, the paper included one of a Range Rover complete with what can only be described as the best mobile bar we’ve seen in ages. It features a bar stocked with gin, whisky, wine, vodka and all manner of bar accoutrements and paraphernalia and is nothing but spectacular.

     

    If they’d been there, Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone of Absolutely Fabulous and dear old Withnail and I’s Withnail and Marwood would never have got near the horses as this was a bar that just had to be emptied.

     

    The following two pictures show the result of what the real guests subsequently got upto:
