When I think of drive-in cinema, my mind instantly goes to the US: drop-top Cadillacs, hamburgers delivered by smiling staff on roller skates and in particular, the scene in iconic 1970s movie Grease with Danny and Sandy.
In Britain, these events have never really taken off – they are seen as a novelty: why not just go to the cinema or a social event where you can interact with people?
The great British weather and our cars probably don’t help. Watching a film in a Ford Fiesta, crumbs everywhere, with the windscreen wipers on full-pelt, squeaking, isn’t quite the romantic notion many would have in mind.
