After the lottery, guests were chatting with a glass of wine, or a pint of beer. And it was really to talk about! It was this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mess of the events of antique technique clubs, it was historical and technical recognition issues, and the individual clubs miscommunication problems and even antique automobile insurance concerns. There was no shortage of talks! After all, the most important thing is communication of likeminded. There is always a need not only to have own opinion, but also a possibility to reveal it, to know how to present it and defend. Such informal meetings are held for this.<\/p>\n
