Our latest newsletter has just gone out to the CCA Mailing list. If you’ve managed to miss the mailing, we’ve included a copy of it here. If you want to add yourself to our mailing list, simply use this easy form. The newsletter is sent out roughly six times a year, and is only used when we’ve got important things to tell you about. The mailing list is the best way to find out about when registration for our various events is opening.
If you’re like us, the time between Spring Thaw and the next automotive adventure seems too long! Our classics are washed, waxed and just itching to have their legs stretched. Whether you’re looking for a 3-day adventure like our Fall Freeze, or something free on a weekly basis…we have it here. Below is the list of events we’ve marked off on our Calendar, perhaps you’d like to join us?!
We’re doing our best to only email you when we’ve got a lot of important things to say, so for regular updates on entry opening or other information, be sure to watch the CCA website and/or Facebook page. Here’s the information from our current newsletter:
2014 Fall Freeze
The Fall Freeze is our 100% tarmac event which features fantastic destinations, more stops together as a group and our signature take on “great roads”. This year we’ll be meeting in Kelowna for the start on September 19th, and running to September 21st. Registration forms will be uploaded to our website June 15th. Further event information can be found on the info page.
Rush To Gold Bridge
The Classic Car Adventures Rush to Gold Bridge is our mixed Tarmac and Gravel event. While the route book will follow our choices for the best of both surfaces, the included supplementary maps will highlight some Tarmac alternatives, where available. The Rush to Gold Bridge is open to 1989 and earlier classics. 1980-89 vehicles simply need organizer approval. Registration for the R2GB will uploaded to our website June 15th. Payment for Fall Freeze, if you’re doing both events, can be offset so the car budget isn’t hit too much this summer. Event information page.
July 12th – Classic Car Appreciation Day
Mark your calendars, and keep the date free! B.C. Legislators have designated July as Classic Car Appreciation month, with July 12th being designated as the official “Classic Car Appreciation Day” for 2014. We’re busy working away on a Classic Car related event which you won’t want to miss! Details of this Vancouver area event will be announced in the next few weeks. Details will be announced on our Facebook page and here on the CCA website.
Other Vancouver Area options this season:
Rallye de Chilliwack – September 6th
Our good friend (and fellow Classic Car Nut) Bruce, runs a great rally event every September with the Classic European Car Club. This isn’t a high speed or math-intensive TSD rally, and it’s 100% on pavement. Registration is only $25, and it’s a hoot of an event. The event is limited to 25 cars, and registration is now open! http://classiceuropeancarclub.com/rallyedechilliwack.html
Road Exploration- June 14th
We’ve heard rumours that there is a great gravel road hidden North of Pemberton, with a restaurant roughly mid-afternoon. Dave intends to find out! Curious to join him for a little road exploration? There’s no cost, we’ll all get to drive the Duffy…and theres a good chance of getting lost once or twice. The perfect adventure for a Saturday! Mixed tarmac and gravel roads, open to any car, truck or jeep (modern included). Meeting in Squamish at 8:45am, with return to Squamish estimated at 8pm including stops for food and breaks. Check out the information page and email Dave for meeting time and location.
Cars and Coffee – 2nd Saturday
Every month during the summer, in Vancouver at least, Weissach Cars and Coffee happens down at the Spanish Banks Park. We’ll do our best to post up a reminder on our website and Facebook page every monday before the event. The last few events have seen a great mix of Classic Cars, many of which were brought by our CCA friends. 2nd Saturday of every month, 8am to 10pm. Map to the Location
Jellybean Car Show- Canada Day
The Jellybean Autocrafters Car show and Canada Day Celebration is back on July 1st! Open to cars, trucks and motorcycles of all types…it’s a HUGE event which goes from 10am to 3pm. This free to enter and attend event features live bands, barbeque and tons of great cars and motorcycles. Details for the event can be found here.
Revscene.net Thursday meets
…every Thursday
Alright, so modern day imports and supercars might not be our regular flavour, but these meets have grown to become the biggest weekly happening in Vancouver. We’ve noticed this year that quite a few classics have started to appear on a weekly basis as well. If you love all things automotive, they’re definitely worth checking out. Undercover police presence is high – So you’re protected against hooliganism, and should avoid doing your own burnouts. They meet every Thursday Night at Burnaby’s Market Crossing shopping center (Marine Way & Bryne Road). 8:30pm to the wee early hours! Map to Market Crossing
