"No, I mean really fix it... make her fly! She's a 351, right? I've got some nitrous oxide injection 'round that's a sweet sensation"

On March 3 at the Tivoli Drive-In, they are having a Retro Club Car night and they will be screening two of the all time classic movies for your viewing pleasure; American Graffiti and Running on Empty.

So polish your car, get your best gal and go to the drive-in to view the second part of the double feature; Running On Empty.

Set in Australia in the early 80s, Running on Empty is the original 'Fast and the Furious' with hotter cars, hotter chicks and hotter times.

"Tell me the truth man, is she the most? Or is she the most?. It's a work of art"

As we follow the life of Mike (Terry Serio) trying to beat Fox (Richard Moir), the fastest drag racer within the area, it no longer becomes the excitement of winning the race, but the will to survive and make a name for himself and his classic 351.

Making new friends along the way, he meets Rebel (Max Cullen), a blind man who is not afraid of testing himself beyond all possible limits. He takes it upon himself to help Mike fly and shut down Fox once and for all.

"You're puttin' on the agony, mate, but you're missin' all the style"

Filled with action, violence, romance and of course drag racing, how could you go wrong this all time classic car movie?

"It's not the speed that hurts you, it's the sudden stop. But I gotta tell you man, 140 mph blind, you just feel that speed"

I award this film 3/5 stars.

It is a timeless classic Australian film, with everything you need to attract the modern day audience whilst still attracting the older generation, and as it is playing at the drive in, what a perfect way to celebrate the Retro Car Club Night.

So for all you car lovers, bring your car, your misses and enjoy what will be two timeless classic films on the big screen at the Tivoli Drive-In.
