National Drive-In Night

[Elegantly Wasted]

A few years ago, maybe 2006 or 07, there was a National Drive-In Night. The promo said "Five States, Five Drive-Ins, How many vans?" We even tried sending images to a single mobile number in each state with a laptop on a tailgate in the back row for all to see what was happening around the country. It was a way for everyone to be part of a large van event like the Van Nats, but without the traveling or expense. It was long before social networking became mainstream.

Maybe it is time for another old skool event with new skool technology.

I know the Sundowner Club in Sydney is having a Drive-In Night on 15 Jan (roughly 100 days before the Van Nats). If that is not too soon, there's a starting point.

Any thoughts...

Not sure if there's still a Drive-In still open in every state - only one left in Sydney now...

[Rolla]

I'm not even sure there's any left in Adelaide... :(

Would winter be better then Summer to do this?

Galaxy Drive in in Perth is still going

I think theres at least 2 still going in Vic, maybe 3. Theres one down the mornington peninsula and one in coburg. I think there might be one in Knox too where they already have a lot of cool car stuff happening.

Me and a mate took our vans to the coburg drive in a coupla years ago with chicks. Backed em up and watched the films, passin joints across throughout... Im fairly sure we were the coolest guys there... Great fun!

That's the go hainzy. We did similar thing's, but it was back in the 70's not a couple of year's ago. I feel very old now, after recalling those adventure's.
