Stars & Cars At Anniversary Celebration Attracts Thousands to Canada’s Classic Car Capitol Raising Over $300,000 For Charity
Stars & Cars At Anniversary Celebration Attracts Thousands to Canada’s Classic Car Capitol Raising Over $ 300,000 For Charity
CHATHAM, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) August 26, 2004
RM Auctions Inc., a world-renown collector car auction house and the leader in the investment-grade collector car market in North America celebrated its silver anniversary milestone with an international celebration at its headquarters on July 16-18, 2004. The weekend celebration, held in RMÂ?s hometown community of Chatham-Kent, Ontario, attracted more than 50,000 car enthusiasts and visitors from across the globe to mingle amongst some of the worldÂ?s rarest vintage cars and automotive celebrities.
Â?We pulled out all the stops to make this anniversary something people will remember for a long time,Â? says RM founder Rob Myers. Â?After twenty-five years in this business we have been fortunate to make a lot of friends that share the same passion for rare and beautiful cars.Â? Myers ads, Â?They all came together for this cause and we not only raised a few eyebrows in the community, but we raised an impressive amount of money for youth charities.Â?
The weekend kicked off with a classic car museum tour followed by a historic presentation by world champion racing legend Phil Hill who shared stories of his amazing, 50-year racing career. Friday night the historic King-William block area played host to an old-fashioned downtown cruise night and concert featuring Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels. Merchants enjoyed the crowds and a boost in sales as the downtown came alive with thousands of car enthusiasts.
The weekend crowds peaked on Saturday as more than 1,500 classic cars and collector vehicles surrounded RMÂ?s international headquarters beside Hwy #401 – CanadaÂ?s busiest expressway. Leading the pack was the famous Batmobile TV and movie cars and other bat vehicles that were under the watchful eye of their creator and custom car builder George Barris, who signed hundreds of autographs to the delight of fans.
Â?The community and volunteers really went out of their way to support this event,Â? states RM partner Mike Fairbairn. Â?With all the car shows and events in this community we have definitely earned the title of the Classic Car Capitol of Canada.Â? Â?We not only celebrated our past withy this event, but also the future of the classic car industry.Â?
SundayÂ?s Concours event in Tecumseh Park, hosted by Master of Ceremonies and Emmy Award winning actor Ed Herrmann, saw many rare autos collectively worth more than $ 100 million including a ten-car display of Duesenbergs, three 1948 Tuckers, a 1947 Delahaye owned by Rita Hayworth and the Pebble Beach winning 1930 Mercedes-Benz SS Roadster that was restored by RM in 2001. Concours spectators were also treated to a very loud and boisterous WWII vintage B-25 Mitchell bomber fly-over courtesy of CanadaÂ?s Hamilton Warplane Museum.
Following the Concours event, Rob Myers and Mike Fairbairn were joined on stage by RM partner Dan Warrener who came good on a bet to shave their 25+ year-old beards for the cause, raising an additional $ 22,000 in donations. Celebrity friends and customers of RM each took a turn at the razors and deftly shaved the partners without a nick.
According to the municipality of Chatham-Kent, the event conservatively generated over $ 2 million in economic impact leading the way for future auto-related events and firmly establishing Chatham-Kent as the Classic Car Capitol of Canada. Other classic car events around the town that followed included WallaceburgÂ?s WAMBO Festival and BothwellÂ?s Old Autos Car Show Â? which both saw record numbers of classic cars and visitors Â? a strong indication of the growing hobby and an increased awareness of this classic car community.

Historic Races and Classic Rallies for Classic Cars
Historic Races and Classic Rallies for Classic Cars
Barcelona, Spain (PRWEB) September 7, 2006
ClassicRallies.com gives a wonderful look at classic rallying and historic racing as it is now – and especially as it was in years past.
Today’s rallying is “made for TV” with everything happening under the eyes of the camera, often only minutes away from the rally headquarters and the hotels where the crews spend their nights.
A far cry from the great events of the 1960s and ‘70s when man and machine were often alone for hours, even days, with little support. Cars now have expendable parts and a gearbox can be changed in twenty minutes. On the long tough rallies of yesteryear we had to drive 3000 kms exclusively up and down the French Alpes, against the clock for most of the way, and look after the gearbox and every other part of the car, since changing them was out of the question. Liège-Sofia-Liège was even worse, being almost a flat out drive from Belgium to Bulgaria and back, through the roughest roads the length of Yugoslavia and over the horrific little passes like the Gavia and the Vivione in the Italian Dolomites. Service was wherever the service crews could reach and was usually limited to a change of tires, refueling and, hopefully, minor repairs, since any time used for service had to be made up on the road by the driver.
Today, rallies consist of short sprints over limited special stages in daylight, often disputed twice, or even three times, over a period of a few hours. Thirty or forty years ago more than half of the competitive distance on the classic rallies was run at night. Monte Carlo would have long sections running through the Chartreuse mountains between Chambéry and Grenoble before crossing the Rhone valley and continuing in what was often the deeply snowbound and ice covered Ardeche. All in the same night.
Classic Rallies will take you into the world of classic rallying today where you will experience the Golden Era of rallies and meet the stars who drove in them thirty or forty years ago. As Vic Elford, Brian redman, Gerard Larrousse. Don’t miss the next upcoming events, see the last events pictures, read drivers experiences.
Thanks to ClassicRallies.com easily find classic cars for sale in the used car classifieds. Experience the Golden Era of motorsports collecting badges, trophies and other Automobilia stuff.

The CARS Net Is Now Free
The CARS Net Is Now Free
San Diego, CA, (PRWEB) January 6, 2007
Ray Taylor started The CARS Net in 1996, as a promotional device for the San Diego Auto Swap events he has been doing since 1990. Ray wanted to learn the HTML language code that is used to design web sites, and so he decided to build http://www.CarsNet.com. It was quite a learning experience, and a his new web site began to grow with time, as did its visitors.
Eventually, some of Ray’s car buddies asked if he would put their vehicles For Sale on http://www.CarsNet.com, and that was the beginning of the true value of The CARS Net.
The CARS Net has seen as many as one million hits in one month. The site is very popular with the Classic Car/Hot Rod groups. Ray then decided to build a separate web site for the Auto Swap, http://www.SanDiegoAutoSwap.com; and to make http://www.CarsNet.com a Classic Car Classified Ad site, where people could run an “Until Sold” ad with one color photo for just $ 20.
It’s years later and The CARS Net has evolved once again. It now has a Blog, a Forum, and a Photo Gallery, in addition to its Classified Area. Plus now it’s All Free. People can go to http://www.CarsNet.com, Register, Login, Type in an Ad, Upload photos, and the vehicle ad is on the Net.
Ray invites people to visit his http://www.CarsNet.com web site. Check out all the Great Wheels & Deals in the Classifieds, peruse the Photo Gallery, read Ray’s thoughts and articles, maybe even leave a post in the Forum. Ray wants people everywhere to enjoy The New & Free CARS Net.
