But no. It must be said, that in 2014, old technical season started very early, even not waiting for spring. So, even when chill was still pinching, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d members gathered to the farmstead of hospitable club member Gediminas Aleksandravi\u00c4\u008dius. At the meeting, there were discussed and evaluated club activities in 2013, which was generous really fun moments for club members. And the memorializing documentary movie \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Antique Car show in Bir\u00c5\u00beai 2013\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/a>recalled what we can enjoy it and what mistakes should be avoided. Sharing experiences, guests and members of the club waited for a surprise – the magazine \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d presentation. This is a detailed 36-page publication which presents our club, its members and their technique. Nowadays, the press publishing is an expensive pleasure and so the magazine was released in a limited edition. First of all, to share it with our supporters and members of the club, and then, with the antique vehicles fans in Lithuania and Latvia. And if our magazine bypassed you, it may be looked through on our club website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two important decisions were accepted in this club meeting. The first – to prepare and present the club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d educational programs\"Moksleiviai<\/a> in Lithuanian schools and the second – along with other antique vehicle clubs, to establish the Union of Lithuanian Historical Technique Associations, bringing together all the antique vehicle clubs in Lithuania, to coordinate their activities, represent in the Parliament, governmental organizations and other institutions. If the first decision was later fully completed in Nori\u00c5\u00abnai J.\u00c4\u0152ernius main school<\/a> (Kupi\u00c5\u00a1kis district), the second – failed. Although, on February 22, in Kaunas, leaders of seven Lithuanian antique vehicle clubs signed a Lithuanian Historical Vehicles Association (L.I.T.A.S.) <\/a>establishment documents, decided about regulations and elected the president, the union has so far not registered and is inactive. Apparently, clubs confrontation and decomposition is useful for someone. This is well illustrated by the example of our city \u00e2\u20ac\u201c there are two clubs but the benefits…?
\nAs each spring, a festival „We are driving,” which has become a tradition, also popularly known as opening of Lithuanian antique vehicle season, again was held in Pasvalys. For the sixth time, Antique Vehicles Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d presented eleven historical cars to the attention of the audience. For two club cars – Buick Riviera, made in 1971. (owner – A. Kriauza) and Buick Riviera, 1972 (owner – G. Aleksandravi\u00c4\u008dius), it was the first exhibition, the first appearance of Lithuania.<\/p>\n

\"Parodoje<\/a>Well, then, on 2 August, followed by a major club event \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Antique Car Show „Timeless \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika 2014”<\/a>, which took place on Bir\u00c5\u00beai town festival. Already probably no one doubts that, this year, this club event was the best in Lithuania. Both excellent and rare car you can see unless in Latvia, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Riga Retro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d events. It’s hard to have something new to say about this exhibition. This kind of traditional event, gathering people at least as far interested in antique vehicles of people, where they can hear the news of restoration techniques, see the oldest and most interesting historical exhibits and finally spend a good time friends and like-minded. Already since 2008, along with the town celebrations, club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d held an antique vehicles exhibition enlivens Bir\u00c5\u00beai cultural life, attracting new sponsors, inviting guests and tourists, and gradually becoming a major part of the town festivals. It’s a shame that Bir\u00c5\u00beai town leaders sometimes does not understand it…<\/p>\n

This year’s exhibition visitors were able to see 63 of the remarkable historical vehicles. The event was attended by twenty-two cars from Latvia, one from Belarus and forty historical vehicles from Lithuania. Eighteen participating in this year’s exhibition of vintage cars were produced in the interwar period.<\/p>\n

Sometime later, on 16 August, a prestigious historic car exhibition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Riga Retro 2014\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a> brought together 124-is vintage cars. It was held for the ninth time. In this exhibition, Lithuania was represented by cars and their owners from the Antique Vehicle Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and the Classical Car Club. I am glad that our club receives a titular invitation from Latvian colleagues the third year in a row and properly represents not only our district, but also the country.<\/p>\n

By this time, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d members\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 activities included everything that is related to the history of motoring and vintage car events. It can be said that motorcycles were undeservedly forgotten. \"Douglas<\/a>Quite suddenly, a group of club members had an idea to spice up the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d activities and take part in a retro motorcycle festival \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bike X Dream\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/a>, „which also took place here in Bir\u00c5\u00beai. It was very unfortunate that this event coincided with the car show held in Latvia \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Riga Retro 2014\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, so I had to split the forces and show only a small motorcycle club members part of the collection. Therefore, the audience sympathy and winning the main prize of the event by motorcycle Douglas EW 350, made in 1927, (owner – D. Linkevi\u00c4\u008dius) proved that participation was not in vain and that the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d gunpowder – still does not get wet!<\/p>\n

At the year-end, club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d released the third annual calendar<\/a>.
