This year again starts with all sorts of interesting events around our favorite hobby. In Stuttgart on the Fildern, the Retro Classics will take place for the 14th time from 13 to 16 March, a must for all friends of the classic car scene in southern Germany. Everything is offered here, not only for the "cat friend". Interestingly, it continues the following weekend from 26th to 30th March, here you even have to decide where to go. Two major events open their doors, on the one hand at the Hockenheimring the Veterama on the other hand in Essen, in the heart of the industrial heart of Germany, the Techno Classica. On 120 000m2, in the 20 halls and 4 outdoor areas, you will find everything the classic car heart desires. From the rare flasher to the complete vehicle, everything is available at both events, so that you should now save a lot more so that it is enough for big shopping.

Who these events in March to "continental" are helped, because what should not be missing this year is the British Cars & Lifestyle, this year already from 8 th to 9 March in Rosmalen/Netherlands. In addition to the pride of the British car industry, this event scores with everything that makes life on Albion worth living.

If you already have your sweetheart in the garage, don't need the hustle and bustle of the automobile fairs and want to test your new modifications and improvements in alpine surroundings after the winter break, you should register quickly at the 27th Kitzbühler Alpine Rallye or Bergfrühling Classic, which will take place from 28 to 31 May. If you prefer to sniff gasoline from the public gallery, you can't miss the German version of the Goodwood Revival - the Hockenheim Historic. this year in memory of the legendary Jim Clark, who died here 45 years ago. So far from me for this time, see you soon.

2013 will be a very special year for all Jaguar XK enthusiasts. Now, 65 years ago, the XK120 was introduced at the 1948 London Motor Show. For this event, the English XK Club will once again make its way to the mainland under the motto 'The Continental XK65 Tour' to pay tribute to this special event. This time we go to the tranquil Echternach in Luxembourg. An almost ideal terrain to give the cat its outlet. In addition to engine sound and gasoline smell, there is a lot of cultural and culinary offerings. You can find more details in this section of the Club page.
If you want to participate with your "treasure" from Germany, you can register with Peter Gründling as usual this year. The whole thing will take place between 4 and 11 June 2013. On this occasion, I would also like to suggest two more dates in March. One is the British Cars & Lifestyle from 16 to 17 March in Rosmalen/Netherlands. The second date is more for those of you, who do not necessarily have to be British and who are more at home in the south of Germany, the Retro Classics from 7 to 10 March on the Fildern near Stuttgart.

So far from me for this time, see you soon.
