As every year, the first spring drive of the club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d cars began with a trip to Pasvalys, to the antique vehicle season opening. This festival \u00e2\u20ac\u201c as a proof, that after the long winter months, we’re driving again. In fact, this so called festival has already been the eighth year inviting to Pasvalys antique vehicle lovers from all over Lithuania. In the Sinkholes Park this year, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d members presented fourteen vintage cars. By the way, this event has been generous to our club as never before. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d has earned respect of the organizers for long-lasting and active participation in this festival, and our club member\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Dalius Linkevi\u00c4\u008dius Cadillac, made in 1942, was evaluated and awarded with the Grand Prix \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the main \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We drive\u00e2\u20ac\u009d prize!<\/p>\n
On the 4th of June, in Astravas Park, the company \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bir\u00c5\u00beai Beer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bir\u00c5\u00be\u00c5\u00b3 Alus\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) celebrated its 330-year anniversary.\u00c2\u00a0 We are very pleased that since the very beginning of our club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bir\u00c5\u00beai Beer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d supports and sponsors \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. So, for the sake of mutual friendship, we went to greet one of the oldest breweries in Lithuania. We presented the historical technology exhibition to the guests of celebration, and a Badge of Honor and our sincere gratitude \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Bir\u00c5\u00beai Beer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d!<\/p>\n
Each country has the antique vehicles for fans to be proud of. Though, neighboring countries organize the best vintage automobile events in the capitals or just in the larger cities, Lithuanian historical antiquities lovers gather in small town Bir\u00c5\u00beai on the first weekend of August every year. No exception was on the 6th<\/sup> of August, the international antique car show \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Timeless Classic 2016\u00e2\u20ac\u009d gathering the largest historical technical crowd ever seen in Bir\u00c5\u00beai. According to the registration data, the antique car show was dominated by American vehicles. Event was attended by as many as 33 vehicles produced in the United States. 28 cars and motorcycles were made in the Soviet Union. The rest of the participants came by the vehicles made in the Czech Republic, England, Germany, Sweden and France. Totally, the Antique Car Show was attended by 87 vehicles. Of these: 1 bus, 2 trucks, 3 tractors, 6 motorcycles and 75 cars. The participants came from Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. I would like to mention a few festivals, attended by our members. One of them is the vintage car exhibition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Riga Retro 2016\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. It was an exciting and prestigious event. The only pity is that nasty weather not only spoiled the mood of the participants, but even changed the organizers plans.<\/p>\n On the August 20, in a resort town of Pernu (P\u00c3\u00a4rnu), Estonia, the antique technique event was held. The club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d members attended it with the invitation of festival organizer Raivo Hannus. Interestingly enough, in this exhibition, along with vintage cars were on display not only the last century engines, trucks, tractors, motorcycles, but at least as far as rotating antique utensils and equipment. It was really nice to see, touch and even participate in some strange mechanism working process. I think that we also should come up with something similar and diversify the antique car show.<\/p>\n Another event, which was attended by \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Antique technique meeting \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Retro Jurmala 2016\u00e2\u20ac\u009d took place on the last August weekend in J\u00c5\u00abrmala. The warm and calm Baltic sea, beautiful and sunny weather, abundance of vintage vehicles surprised not only the guests of Jurmala, but also the festival participants. In this exhibition, the Antique Vehicle Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was represented by six vintage cars.<\/p>\n Well and the last this year’s event, which was very important to our club – exhibition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Kaunas Auto Days\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which took place in Kaunas \u00c5\u00bdalgiris arena on September 16-18. For the first time this event was attended by Antique Vehicle Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, providing to visitors attention five exceptional antique and classic cars. According to the organizers of the event \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Plc \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Exposition Centre\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (UAB \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ekspozicij\u00c5\u00b3 centras\u00e2\u20ac\u009d) this exhibition was visited by 31,010 visitors, and the event was attended by 71 company.<\/p>\n Another club phenomenon, which necessarily should be mentioned, is the annual \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d calendar publishing. Creating new traditions and compliance is one of the most Antique Vehicle Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d advantages. Just appearing and fragrant in printing inks \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d wall calendar is safe to be included in this category. This is the fifth annual club publication, distinctively trying to link the last century historic techniques with classical elegance and youthful flair.<\/p>\n So, over the years, it has been done quite a lot. And whether our work is meaningful and necessary, You would decide, Dear our club sponsors, fans, friends and visitors of our club events!

\nIn this year event, there were some innovations: for the first time the antique vehicle exhibition was held in the spacious square, the first time the exhibition duration was extended to 3 hours, for the first time there was held a concert during the exhibition where a double-decker bus Bristol, made in 1956, from trading town \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Urmas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was used as a Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d stage. From here, it was possible to get the interesting information about exhibition, to find out one or another exhibit development history, listen to the songs performed by J\u00c5\u00abrate Garnelien\u00c4\u2014 and Gytis Bal\u00c4\u008di\u00c5\u00abnas. I would say that this innovation proved itself and we will try to repeat next year.
\nBy the way, it should be reminded to everyone that the first exhibition of the antique vehicles in Bir\u00c5\u00beai was held on the 16th<\/sup> of August, 2008. So, next year, the antique car show \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Timeless Classic 2017\u00e2\u20ac\u009d will already be the tenth, jubilee \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d event.<\/p>\n
\nBeautiful winter holidays! Wishing You, Antique Vehicle Club \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Klasika\u00e2\u20ac\u009d!<\/p>\n
