There is something different about the classiccaradventures events. It’s difficult to put into words. One moment from an event five or six years ago has always stuck with me. At the end of a Saturdays leg of the drive a driver with a car worth close to half a million dollars was standing next to a young man with a car potentially worth five thousand. One of the drivers was in his late sixties, with decades of driving pedigree, and dozens of classics. The other standing next to his first classic.
.
And both of them were smiling, laughing, and talking about the events of the day.They discussed the way their cars handled on the road, asking each other questions and sharing ideas for the next leg of the adventure. They talked about the joys of driving a classic. The shared experience of taking a piece of automotive history across thousands of kilometres of roads in all sorts of weather.
.
They talked about giving into the urge that all drivers get when they see a road that catches their eye. That urge that pulls them around that next bend, or over the next crest.
.
“I wonder where that road leads”
.
It was an incredible moment to witness. And I realized it was just a microcosm of the larger Classic Car Adventures world. With people from all over North America uniting in the passion for great roads, great cars, and spending time with great people.

This years Hagerty Fall Classic took us from mountain side to mountain side , and across the deserts and forests in-between. With drivers from the Canadian events meeting with our new friends from the Colorado Silver Summit it was a weekend of beautiful weather, amazing roads, and endless moments worthy of mention.
