If they brought Drive-in cinemas to Perth...

[Bonnie Lee]

I still enjoy going to the Galaxy Drive-in in Kingsley from time to time. Usually take in some fish and chips.

I went the other day! Definitely wish i got there earlier to get a closer spot though! Packed a little smorgas board of food and snacks and a few sneaky beveraginos!!

They screen double features so need to be careful with your car battery while using your radio though I’ve given thought to finding a decent battery powered boom box to use.

The double features make it a great value night out.

I used to love the drive ins. Great for families 'cause you could take the kids and not worry about a baby sitter. I'm showing my age now!

Do drive-ins still exist in Perth?

 

[Goodstuff36 Bon truc in french]

They are bringing back drive ins with new style cafes and car charging stations

In there day they where huge, family car loads, friends car loads, going on dates, every weekend you would go to the drive Ins if you had nothing else to do. For those who do not know, there was always a CAFE attached to each Drive-in as well as bathroom-facilities.
The audio was terrible, LOL, I remember watching and listening to Led Zepplin, there first touring movie.
Visually great under the moon light, audio was bad, LOL

Yeah they were fun,a mate of mine drove off forgetting to wind the window down and replace the speaker,didnt realize until he got home

Important thing is sdm85, were the films any good, did you score and do the deed in end?

I'd really like to own a sandman panel van and go on a date to the drive-ins just to say I've done it.

The thing is itll cost you $50000 for the sandman nowdays

A Sandman with a 308 was also was called, "The Baby Maker", this is why their popularity was very short lived.

The great sticker on the Sandman's was " if this van is rockin' don't bother knockin' " and also " don't laugh, it could be your daughter in here"

Parkline, Riverline, Highline? Waverley were well frequented by me in my youth. At one stage I had an old Austin 1800 ( the land crab) and the front seats could be pushed forward and laid down to the same level as the rear seats to make a double mattress so " almost as good as a Sand man ( NOT )

 

[DancingDollar]

Yeah!!!! Imagine….Lovely ladies from LT’s could tap on your window and offer steamy car sessions of lust and passion. Fuck yeah!!!!

Be pretty hard to compete today.
Speakers were terrible, but good for kids as there was usually a playground they could wear themselves out on, and you got TWO movies!
Dad had a panel van so we threw a mattress in the back and reversed in the parking spot.
If you are not familiar the parking area has a series of humps running parallel to the screen, and you park your car so the end facing the screen is raised.

Good idea to keep people distracted while waiting for there car to recharge. You probably rent a movie online and it plays through the car screen or something.
