Could be fun, could be horrid. All depends how you perceive it
NFS, F&F 1&2, Cars for the kids.
Can't see me going, as I'll be on taxi duties for The Vamps in Glasgow that weekend

I have been to drive -in movies in America a couple of times, the reality doesnt live up to the perception.
Got to applaud Knockhill for trying it though

Agreed. If they nail the food too it could be a winner. Now only if they were showing the Breakfast Club for its 30th year....

Went to one a few years ago at Murrayfield. It was alright, the couple next to us however had thought about it a bit more as they had a convertable bentley tartan rug and wicker basket full of really nice looking food.
I had a packet of MM's and a clio

Seems pricey... £20 for a car but really only the front seat occupants will be able to see the screen? So £10 a head... cinema is cheaper and it's not often you can say that! Plus someone else will clean up the popcorn you spill.

Take a Fiat Multipla or Honda F-RV and it's only £6.66/head
Can't imagine watching a movie with the wipers on in the rain the best either

Wipers on the whole time, and the radio tuned for sound.
The AA would need to be on-call for all the flat batteries.

At least the annoying kids kicking the back of your seat and talking over the film are probably your own, so you can belt them.

As long as you can hear the film over the couple in the neighbouring car humping you'll be fine.

And driving either of those makes you the very epitome of cool.
