On May 28, the antique cars club “Klasika” officially opened its exhibition season. The club accepted an invitation from the “4×4 perimeter” cross-country off-road vehicles marathon to come to the festival in Paceriaukste (district of Birzai).
At 15:00, Klasika’s members gathered in their antique cars near city’s municipality. Half an hour later, 17 antique cars and 7 motorcycles, led by a soviet-times GAI police equipage, drove out to the main street and headed towards Paceriaukste. The viewers were dressed in their nicest clothes and met us in ovations at P. Poskus School’s playfield. While driving in a circle of honor, commentator E. Malinauskas introduced all exhibits and equipages. He stated that antique vehicles remind us of historical events and decorate our modern lives. And the 21st Volga – a prestigious XX century antique vehicle! Skaityti daugiau... / More...
„Labakie brauc! The best are driving!“ – with this slogan we were greeted at our first event this year in Latvia, where Klasika‘s antique cars were shown. On a Saturday morning, May 14th, in a five-car column we traveled towards the border of Latvia and went straight to Salaspilis, where we were warmly welcomed. Although we came earlier than planned, the time passed very quickly: an orchestra was playing, „Old Cars Club“ treated us with coffee and snacks. Even the very first awards took place during the exhibition. Later, just like during a rally, we moved towards Bauske in the interval of a minute. We also received an interesting mission – during our trip we calculated street signs and orientated on the road. Half way to the destination, participants had a task to drive on a ramp in a VAZ 2102. We did pitty the Lada, which was driven by everyone and suffered a lot, however the task itself was a great challenge even for the most experienced drivers.
