Had this email from Paul, the organiser of the drive in movies .........


Hi Chris

Good to talk to you this morning.

As discussed we are going to return to Canford in May at dates to be confirmed for 3 nights of movies and following our chat at last year`s event I was wondering if your group could suggest a car orientated movie that could be used in May.

I  look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Best Regards

So .... can you think of a good car movie that would appeal to us all?

Put it here.

Drive safe.

Here are some to get the thought juices flowing .....

Bullitt
Days of Thunder
Herbie Rides Again
The itallian Job (The 1969 version)
Two Lane Black Top
Vanishing Point
The Car (1977)
Pixar Cars
American Graffitti
Smokey and the Bandit
Gone in 60 Seconds.

Any more ...........

Pixer 'Cars',Graffitti andSmokey and the Bandit,get our votes peeps....

What about the new Dukes of Hazzard?  it does have Jessica Simpson in it.....

smokey and the bandit for me obviously

There's always 'Noddy goes to Toy Town'

Mrs's Mitch has just suggested 'Convoy',,,,,thats a big 10-4 good buddy.........

Guess the new 'A' Team movies out, for us vanners.....

In time Frank,although the preview footage looks a bit naff!!!!!!!!!!!

Any more for any more?

I think maybe "cars" and see if they could do it on an early ish start so the kids could be brought along to see it too, oh and smokey and the bandit, it's got my 4 year olds favouite song in it "east boun and down......."

That's a big 10/4 good buddy   ,NB,is a bit too late for the boy's,inc. me,,,,matron doesn't like me out too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

days of thunder,gone in 60 seconds, smokey and the bandit ..... keep the pedal to the metal good buddy, 10-4 over and out

Here is the reply I got from Paul about the drive in movies and canford park arena, and the dates are now confirmed as follows ........

Hi Chris

I hope you are well.

I am afraid that we are not going to be able to show Cars at the Drive Ins as we do not feel that it would be commercially viable to show this film so we are currently proposing the following.

Thursday April 22nd  The Italian Job ( Michael Caine version)
Friday April 23rd           This Is it
Saturday April 24th    Up

I hope that you understand our thoughts on this matter.

Thanking you in anticipation.


Best Regards

So, some good films, and put it here if you will be coming.  For display cars, free entry.

Drive Safe

I Like the sound of a couple of those.
If the weather's nice, I might bring the Plymouth out to play..........except that it has the original radio and I think it is an AM version. Might be a problem.....................................
