You’ve spent all winter in the garage tracing wiring faults and tuning fussy carburetors, just biding your time until you can get back behind the wheel and hit the open road. This May, break your beauty out of hibernation, and join us for the Spring Thaw Classic Car Adventure!
The Spring Thaw is a budget-minded 3-day driving adventure through British Columbia for pre-1979 touring and sportscars. This is for those who enjoy spirited driving on some of the most challenging and beautiful roads in the world. Concours cars are more than welcome, but we also encourage those less-than-mint, hard-driven, budget classics to take part. Enthusiasm for driving old, unreliable cars counts more than anything!
earlier. Sorry, no trucks or motorcycles. Think you’ve got a car that
fits, but doesn’t meet the age category? Feel free to email us.
Seriously, we’re not likely to turn away your Delorean DMC-12 or original GTI if you can convince us.
Is this a competitive event?
There are no competitive elements to the Spring Thaw. We’ll provide the suggested route, some times to meet for lunch and dinner, and we go from there. The emphasis is on fun and adventurous driving, but you can be sure there will lots of great prizes to hand out at the finish!
Keeping a classic car roadworthy is expensive enough, so the Spring Thaw is intended to be a budget-minded event. If you’re looking for a high-end resort and winery tour, then you might be disappointed. If the art of driving is more your thing, then you’ll find the budget motels and restaurants more than acceptable. Your entry fee will include a hotel room for Friday and Saturday night,
entry fee for the driver and co-driver, car decals, dash
plaques, route book and a few other surprises we’re working on. We’re looking at the $300 range for all the above.
We’ll have full details on pricing and how to enter the event in December 2008. Please sign up to our mailing list using the form on the right if you’d like us to keep you up to date, or join us on Facebook. If you have any questions, feel free to email us. Spread the word!
