I think most would agree that the social aspect of the Spring Thaw was what made it so memorable.  The great roads and weather certainly contributed, but both Dave and I are still buzzing about all the great people we met! We’ve already announced next year’s Spring Thaw date, but that seems so far away and there is an entire summer ahead of us to enjoy our classic cars.

We thought the best way to keep the buzz going was to build an online ‘hub’ and invite all the Spring Thaw’ers and other crazy car friends to join in!  Another great aspect of the Spring Thaw was the variety of cars that entered. Many of us are already in clubs that are specific to the type of car we drive, but we think there is a great opportunity to bring people together as a whole.

Throughout the summer there are numerous historic races,  car shows, rallies, and other good excuses for road trips. We have started a discussion forum where you can talk shop, plan socials and road trips, and generally keep the enthusiasm alive!

First up, if anyone is interested in joining us, Dave and I are planning a day trip from Vancouver to Kelowna to watch the final day of the Knox Mountain Hillclimb on Sunday, May 17th. It is North America’s longest running hillclimb, and usually has a fantastic variety of cars.  Pack a picnic, fill up the tank, and let’s go!
