The meeting of historic vehicles manufactured before 1965, the Habrovany Opening of Slides, celebrates its twentieth year on Sunday. “Attendance is record. I estimate over two hundred cars and motorcycles. In such numbers, however, it is no longer possible to make a sleepy ride. Today, it will be just an open parade of exhibited veterans in the castle park. At the end of it, we will appreciate the cups from our point of view, the best vehicles, “say Bronslav Nejtek, friends of the historical Habrovany, testify for the organizing team.
Lubomír Vítkovič and his wife Eva from Tišnov in the Brno region also arrive in the village in the Vyškov region on Sunday morning. Their grandson accompanies them. Their polished red Felicia from 1960 with a detachable canvas roof is parked on the lawn next to other historical gems. The couple fills the organizers of the show and are wearing stylish clothes from the sixties. “I dreamed Felicia as a five-year-old boy. Her uncle had it. Some time ago I bought this car from Germany. It’s a pity I couldn’t renovate it all by myself. But I probably wouldn’t have the time and strength to do it anyway. I still have a two-door Škoda MBX from 1967 at home. It was such an unsuccessful attempt at a sports car at the time, which was to replace Felicia with a retractable roof, ”says a fan of historic cars.

For my taste, the new cars are too over-technological. The carburetor has long been a thing of the past, but I don’t mind. I am simply closer to the old cars, “smiles Lubomír Vítkovič.
Mr. and Mrs. Svoboda, for example, also walk through Habrovan Castle Park in the morning. They arrived on bikes from neighboring Komořany. “I’d love the brown Spartak over there. I would take that right away, “Radek Svoboda smiles as he leaves.
