Purchasing classics there

Do you have a vintage car? Then it will still run on fossil fuel, because when this car was produced, driving on electricity was of course not an issue at all. If you are looking for fun events to visit with your classic car, it is best to look online. There you will find many nice occasions to go with your classic car. Don't want to fill up with petrol every time? Then we give you a few tips to visit fun events in a different way.

The best thing is of course going with the oldtimer

If you want to visit a fun event, take a look online to see what is being organized. After all, you would prefer to go to an event with your oldtimer, because other people can also view your vehicle there. Often at these types of events there are special places to park the old-timer and it can be admired there by all visitors. Particularly if there is a competition associated with the show part, it is fun to participate. Who knows, you might win a nice prize with your car.

Search for nearby events

To save fuel and not have to fill up every time, it is best to first look for fun events that are organized in your area. If you take a good look around, you often discover nice things for which you don't have to drive far. Traveling less distance means less fuel is needed, so that's always better for the environment and it also saves your wallet. Is the event really close? Leave your oldtimer at home and just take the bike. It is also better for your own condition.

Are you going with an electric car

Are there events you would like to attend, but are they far from home? Then it is definitely worth considering going there by public transport or take your electric car instead of your old-timer if you happen to have one. Fully charge it before you leave and check whether there is enough at the destination or on the way charging points can be found. This way you can be sure that you will arrive at your destination in good time and that you will not come to a halt on the way. Nowadays, charging stations can be found in many places, so this will probably not cause any problems.

Take a good look at where you can charge your car on the way

Be sure to check whether there are charging stations on the route that do not require you to make an extra detour, but that you simply pass along the way. That way you never come to a standstill. Charging stations work with special passes, so check carefully what you need for a particular charging point on the route. Not every charging station works with the same rates, so it's actually just like refuelling: in this case, look up the advantageous charging points and you will arrive at your destination without any problems and not by paying the main price.

  1. Sorry, but if you are a proud owner of a beautiful classic, you don't go to a classic event with an electric car….. Mobile heritage should be mobile and not collect dust in a garage. Or am I……….
