Cruise-In to the Drive-In

Date : June 23rd 2007

Place : South Surrey Athletic Park (Softball City) located at 20th Avenue & 148th Street, Surrey

Times : Cruise departs at 7 PM SHARP, please be at the park for 6:30 for maps and pre-cruise meeting!!

This year is going to be awesome! With the return of the cruise, but with a twist. We are going to depart from the park again, head down along the beach and then out to Aldergrove where we will finish at the Twilight Drive-In.

We have arranged early access to the drive-in as well as the access to the snack bar facilities. This will get us in as a group prior to normal opening times so that we can do a meet & greet before the movies start. Each car will be responsible to pay there own way into the drive-in.

Here is the movie schedule for the night of the cruise.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (PG)

Got an FM radio in yer car?

Chris · « **Reply #37 on:** June 12, 2007, 06:54:43 AM »

Yes you will need an FM radio, a portable stereo or a walkman if you want.

Bruce will need someone to go with seeing as he is afraid of technology and doesnt understand FM radio

Make sure it's got a digital tuner too, the signal there is so weak you cant get it with a knob and scale style radio.

amishrabbi · « **Reply #39 on:** June 12, 2007, 08:57:54 AM »

yep, its got a modern stereo in it. im set B)

Hmmm, hadn't thought of that. One more thing to add to the list. Just when you think you are done.......

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit :wacko:

blarneyman · « **Reply #43 on:** June 15, 2007, 10:42:05 PM »

Do we have to pay for the movie when we enter early? I'd like to hang out for a while after the cruise but not stay for the movie (don't want to drive to Blaine or Sumas to get across the border when it's over). It looks like my daughter is going to have a car full (sister, friend & cousin) but I'll be going solo.

Shane · « **Reply #44 on:** June 16, 2007, 02:24:25 PM »

I would assume that you would have to ask at the gate,

Matt · « **Reply #45 on:** June 22, 2007, 08:49:20 PM »

How big are the swap spots?

steveo_32 · « **Reply #46 on:** June 22, 2007, 10:40:22 PM »

Can i take them all??

Chris · « **Reply #47 on:** June 22, 2007, 10:49:40 PM »

We will try to accomodate everyone, but normally two parking stalls is what you get.

Sorry I had to peel off the pack so early on in the cruise tonight.
I left my kids at home and they had a meltdown, lol...
Great turn out though!

blarneyman · « **Reply #52 on:** June 24, 2007, 01:25:31 AM »

Wish I could have been there

. I'm having brake issues with my bug

. I took a brake from the brakes

and fixed an electrical short and replaced the generator (thanks Jason) in my Ghia

. Turned out to be a good day. Now if I could just get to sleep :wacko:
