    Beenleigh drive in is still open at Yatala.

    I saw Mad Max when it was first released at the Woodridge drive in... all three in fact and saw Terminator there as well. Also used to frequent the Skyline drive in at Coopers Plains and the Capalaba twin drive in.

    Mostly watched from the back of a panelvan, very fond memories there... particularly if the first movie was crap...(which it usually was)

    Went to the Skyline for an all night movie marathon with a mate and two girls in the back of my HJ Sandman, 5 movies and the first one was Running on empty... started raining part way through the second movie and got so heavy we had to shut the tailgates.... with four people in the car the windows fogged up so we had to find other things to amuse us.... that was a great night.
    4/75 HJ XX7 Sandman Panelvan ... Persian Sand currently restoring
    7/76 HX Monaro 4dr 308 4sp... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell.. SOLD
    3/77 HX Sandman Panelvan ... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell .. SOLD

    Your mate's should have been more careful Sean. Us old people from the 70's never had that sort of surprise new's, amongst us anyway. More luck than good management probably.
