MINI at the drive in.

I want to take my wife to the drive in tomorrow. How are MINIs there? I know that the line of sight is cut off quite a bit when looking in an upwards direction. Will this make it tough to watch a movie there? it's charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Batman Begins. I'm pretty excited!!!

To quote Marvin Gaye...

Perhaps a combination of sliding the seat forward and tilting the seatback back a bit would help....?

Besides, no one actually WATCHES the movies at drive-ins! You should know this by now! :smile:

The MINI is GREAT at a drive-in! DCMM had an event at one a few weeks ago and it was a blast!

If it's a double feature, turn your lights on and pop the hood, it'll get people real excited about the car!

You won't be able to see the movie anyway with all the windows fogged up.

MY MINI and I have been to a dozen drive-in movies over the past 73k miles. He loves it!
