On This Day...

6th August 1932 the patent application for the drive-in cinema was filed in the USA...The first film ever screened was Wives Beware, a British comedy starring Adolphe Menjou. It played on opening night, June 6, 1933, at Richard Hollingshead’s "Automobile Movie Theater" in Pennsauken, New Jersey.

Imagine pulling up in your favourite classic car, winding down the windows and watching a film under the stars...

What's the best film you've ever watched from the comfort of a car? we're guessing none of you have😁

August is the month your car really earns its keep.

Whether you're driving to Cornwall, the airport, Centre Parcs or just packing the kids off to the grandparents...

Your car is about to do its biggest job of the year, especially if its to get you to the airport in time!!!

Before you load the boot to the roof, it's worth checking:

✅ Tyre pressures (especially with a full load)
✅ Oil level
✅ Coolant
✅ Windscreen washer
✅ That strange noise you've been ignoring...

A five-minute check now could save a very long wait on the hard shoulder.

If something doesn't feel quite right, pop in and see Andy before you set off.
