Fast Five Outing

[muppet42]

Well, the next Fast and the Furious film is nearly upon us and I figured "why not make a meet out of it?" So, let's make a meet out of it

Film's out on the 29th of April and as such, I think we could well get away with making the meet the day of the opening. It's a Friday, so good way to start the weekend I reckon.

Obviously don't know specific times as yet, but can post them up nearer to the day itself. Also, I think there's a chance this'll be released at the IMAX, so that's a possibility too. Cinema wise besides that, I'm thinking either the Odeon at the Braehead Xscape or the Odeon at Springfield Quay. The former I reckon though has the better quality screens.

So, if you's fancy it, pop your name down and any thoughts on cinema location or preferences for time of the day to head along to it

I'd be up for this as a meet Rob.
Another car club that you: me & Ming are on were planning on seeing this & having a club meet.
Thing is nobody posts on that froum now so I cba with them.

I think the Quay would be a better location as it's easier for folk to get to i.e. Kieran.
Brahead is easy enough for peeps like you, me & Ming, but it would mean more miles for other folk, although it's just of the Motorway.... hmmmmmm

Am I right in thinking Rob that Brahead has 2 cinema's?? 1 in the main shopping centre & 1 at Xscape (Brilliant place to go)

I always thought Braehead just had the one at XScape - Odeon if I'm not mistaken?

If there's enoguh demand, we could also have a similar meet in Aberdeen or Dundee for us northerners?

like i said at some point, im happy to organise and easter/northern meet if it means i dont have to sit through the film itself.

Ignore part of the last post by me then, don't know why but for some reason I thought there was 2 cinema's at Braehead.
Odeon at Xscape. In fact if were in Xscape who would be up for the Skypark bit??
Skypark & Fan Drop £13.50each Skypark & Climbing £13.50each
If enough peeps were interetsted we could maybee do a group booking.

No,

If is on at IMAX, it got to be there!! 3D rules there!!!

David, you got to see it , then go drifting

Ming

Silloth drift crew

 

[Venters]

I'm actually looking forward to this film. I mean it looks utter pish, but it's in Brazil where the Marea turbo is a popular choice for modifiers.

 

[Andi9386]

Silloth drift crew

That'll be:
Steve, James, Kieran, Rob etc etc etc
Although I think Ming would be up for drifting LOL

Hey Andi, just how fast is this new car? Braehead on the 29th and Pennan on the 30th. Have you got warp speed or something?

Ha ha well....... errrrrr, don't think I'll be at Pennan the next day. mmmmm

 

[M21MFS]

It's not an impossible drive north the next day Andi...see how things pan out?

Excuse me andi , i would like to say my hand brake came on by its self , i did not touch the handy

Yeah you're right Martyn.
Give the GP a long run

Excuse me andi , i would like to say my hand brake came on by its self , i did not touch the handy

Aye right....

 

[M21MFS]

Book into a travelodge somewhere like Dundee (or Aberdeen) and just head up after the Fast Five meet?

 

[muppet42]

My car beeps at me when the handbrake's engaged as I'm moving. Need more practice I believe though

But yeah, the Xscape cinema's pretty easy to get to and the screens in there are probably the best bar the IMAX ones. The Springfield Quay is okay, but it's not much of a step up from the pants poor Showcase. IMAX itself is something like £12, which is about a fiver if memory serves more than a regular cinema ticket so it's up to everyone whether we do that or not. Can confirm availability, times and such nearer to the release date I'd guess. I think if it were IMAX, we'd need to book in advance.

As for the film, I love the series. It's incredibly stupid and the acting is at best Days of Our Lives-esque, but it's a car film at points and even though a lot of CGI's used, I still enjoy it. Of course the other minus with this one is no Michelle Rodriguez, but we've always got the lovely Jordana seen here in casual F&F mode...
