+1 on the emergency brake.
Also: you had the key turned too much. Click it back one notch, and you can have the radio on, but the other accessories (AC, fans..etc) won't be on and they won't drain the battery.
Nice to see other folks are into Drive In theatures - there's a Drive In about an hour away from our home up in Warwick, NY. That is the number one choice when we want to see a movie. Nothing like an old fashioned movie experience!
-Z-man.

We've had 60 in Victoria, of which 3 are still operating.
I tend to think that the real eastate that they take up, for the number of patron that they can fit, make the economics hard to justify.
Having said that, I still remember going as a little tacker, in my dressing gown as we all did, watching the first feature, getting an icecream and playing on the swings and slides at half time, and then going to sleep in the back of the car, as the second feature tended to be more for Mum and Dad.
And of course, once you had your own car, going to the drive in with the girl friend, hopping in the back seat to watch the film, and then not watching it at all.

My son thinks not, although there was mention of a one-off at some time but he knew no details. Sigh.Hey I would be interested to find out too - please let me know! I've never done it but would love to!
Think how cool it would be to set one up - just for Eoses!!! But what film would be suitable for that? (oh oh)

My apologies to Shalet for us uncouth Aussie types hijacking your thread. If we want to talk about drive in theatres, we probably should take it to the drivers lounge. (or should that be the "drive in" lounge)
Hi Geoff,
Have done this and created a new thread "Drive-In Theatre Humour".

Day running lights??
Greetings. i was just wizzing thro the forum when i saw the items on day running lights. I has have the Eos for about 16 months now and love it to bits. Pity about the weather in Manchester (uk) since that time though. If you didnt know we have had record amounts of rain since i bought the car, (maybe that's just my luck)
I was looking for some Strips of day running lights ( aka the Audi a5) as an accessory.The previous blogs seem to suggest that it standard on some cars? Any ideas please??
