Did you ever watch a movie at the Jurong Drive-in Cinema?

[Confuseous]

This was back in the late 1960s?
My memory lapses, on the date, but not of the dates.
Sticking legs out of the car windows, throwing peanut shells on the floor, spreading out on the mats.
Ah, those lazy hazy crazy nights of the drive-in dates all the way in wild west Jurong.

Watch Bruce Lee Show at Drive In Jurong!!!

I did, once when I was still a boy boy.

I can foresee this thread turning into another collection of sexual escapades as told by the forum's old birds. What's new?

 

[Baimi]

Too young to drive

 

[singveld]

And I can foresee this thread turning into another anti PAP and anti FT discussion

It was there all the way to the eighties. I tried to drive there twice, not even of licensable age. "Borrowed" carkey from uncle and drove my girlfriend there. PIE not complete full stretch yet. Got lost the first time and ended up coming out of Bukit Timah into Thomson before even smelling Boon Lay. My GF got worried and said forget it it. We went on to Macritchie to settle "it." The second time managed to find the place and went in. A Taiwan tearjearker movie like grandfather and orphan story that I couldn't recall much of but what the fuck, we carried on with "it."

no more parking for you in east coast park

 

[nirvarq]

Hehe they have metal post like thingy with speakers so u park beside one. But for some we go for the F1 race after the movie. The most popular ones are the mini coopers and Toyota Celicas &
motor bikes too. Once the gate open after the movie its like HELL gates open. The race begins..

 

[glockman]

I fondly remember those drives to the Jurong Drive-in. Getting tickets and driving up to a spot next to a speaker stand. Then we unhooked the grey speaker and hang it onto the door of the car. Those were simpler days when the world was a nicer place.

 

[Agoraphobic]

Yup. Was just a kid in my dad's Mazda 1000. Can't remember the movie, can't remember much else except it was awkward and uncomfortable watching from a dinky car. Not suitable for family.

Cheers!

I remembered as a very small boy, my father took me, my young brother and mother in those ubiqutious pick ups in those days. Speaking of which they are gone now, they were of the Daihatsu brand

 

[krafty]

[leetahbar]
