We still have one in Langley actually not far from the new acreage. Was there a few years ago during the Langley car show weekend, on Friday, they have a classic only showing (you guessed it, Smokey and the Bandit) and the whole drive in was classics only. My buddy parked his tailgator at the back and I parked my bird in front and it was a stellar evening!
The Gator (actually was a TV build for CMT's concert in North Carolina if I recall)
Made a good base for the nite at the drive in...
My buddy bought it and drove it all the way from NC about 3-4 years ago...has a hot tub in the truck box...LOL
Everyone should come visit me then because we have a drive in here in the town I live in. They are very family friendly with the movies they show and they allow you to bring your own grills, food and drinks. We usually show up around 6:30 and grill and then throw a ball around before the movie starts.
Gus68 (Brian) Are you setting up a FGF Drive? For the drive-in just outside of Enderby? Cause if your going to have your bird done.... I go to Vernon/Armstong/Cherryville each summer so perhaps could meet up.....Or perhaps I am reading to much into TOHcan's message?
Hopefully I have something ready ... keep you posted!
We use to go the drive with my 64 Wagon and buddy' 63 Fairlane. One guy hiding behind front seat, 2 under 3rd seat and 2 in the truck of the Ford. We would drive up to the ticket girl and say "one please"! lol
