Mother’s Day EuroSunday

Sacramento’s EuroSunday Plus took place this Mother’s Day weekend and the featured marquee involved the beloved British vehicles. Even with the holiday, we were 40 cars strong with half of those being British make. There were several Aston Martins ranging from the V12 Vanquish, DB9 Volante, and several Vantage V8s. Also seen were MG’s, Jaguar, Lotus, Triumph and Austin Healy. We even had two Nortons and one Triumph motorcycle find our hidden parking lot! (Our lot was so difficult to find that it forced us to change the location for our next EuroSunday in Davis. While it was ideal for having our group secluded, it also prevented folks from finding us in the first place. Thankfully Steve Prine was armed with an orange flag to wave us all down and direct us in to our spots).

Another fun story from the event had to due with the “furthest drive award!”. An Aston Martin Vantage V8 managed to come all the way from Hawaii just to attend our event =) [see the pics of the event for proof] The owner chronicled his trek for us and how much a pain the traffic was coming from Hawaii. Ok, maybe he did not drive here and he was not here just for the event but never the less it was a great story we all enjoyed. Other none British makes on hand were Ferrari, BMW, Porsche, Pantera, Mercedes, and Cobra. All of them out to admire the row of Union Jack cars!

As everyone had plans to spend time with their Mum’s, we ended the day without a drive to Streets of London. Because of Mother’s Day and being too close for an annual affair for the British Car Club, we will have another British event for EuroSunday Plus again later in the year. Keep your eyes and ears open for the announcement on this second event.

All of us here at EuroSunday wish you and your families the best and hope that you all had a great Mother’s Day.

EuroSunday Bay Recap:

May turned out to be one of the smallest turnouts in EuroSunday history. However, with the Premier Customer Engagement the day before and Bay to Breakers on Sunday we did not expect our usual attendance. The quality of the vehicles in attendance was exceptional though. We had roughly 50 cars at one point, and were blessed with the presence of John Alff and his remarkable 1954 Mercedes Benz 300SL Gullwing. As the morning accrued time a Ferrari 512TR and 360 made their presence, as well as the Sharkwerks 3.8L GTSRS. Promptly at 10:15am the group headed out for the traditional post-meet drive. Winding their way south down Foothills Boulevard then up Highway 9, Northern California’s famed Skyline Boulevard was fast approaching. The swift and agile group continued up Skyline with great speed, and the views were remarkable with a huge wall of fog off towards the Pacific and a clear view of the Bay. As the group approached Alice’s Restaurant they veered off and onto La Honda down to the world famous Pacific Coast Highway. Just a little after noon the group arrived at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay where they enjoyed great food and one of the most scenic dining experiences on the coast. Next month the Bay Area meet will move back over to Danville at the Blackhawk Plaza. Until then, happy motoring.

EuroSunday Reno Recap:

EuroSunday Reno's first official gathering was a tremendous success. With little time to make a formalized announcement, there were still well over 20 cars in attendance! Special thanks to Dennis for bringing out his new, and amazing Ford GT sporting over 800bhp compliments of a few modifications! Also in attendance was a Lamborghini Gallardo, whose owner also has a Ferrari F430 and promises to bring that out to our show next month! In addition there were some exceptionally great Corvettes, Porsches, BMWs, and an Ultima GTR race car which was absolutely stunning! We will all be curious to see that car again once it’s new setup consisting of an LS7 motor is done. More interestingly, there was a Dodge Ram SRT-10 in attendance, and how they manage to stuff the Viper motor in there baffled us all. We look forward to next Month, which will also incorporate the Driven2Drive weekend.

EuroSunday Sacramento Recap:

Thank you to everyone that came out to Elk Grove this past Sunday for our event. I was fortunate enough to meet and introduce myself this week to many of you, but for those of you that I did not get the chance to personally speak with, I am Amar Dhariwal the Sacramento Regional Manager for EuroSunday. I am very excited to be a part of this organization, and eventually look forward to getting to know each and every one of you. Here is a brief background on me, I was born and raised in Birmingham England and I have lived here in California for the past eight years; six of those years were spent working at Bank of America. Two years ago I transitioned into financial services and am now working with Larry Stiver at Asset Strategies Group as a Senior Advisor.

This past week’s event had a positive turn out with just over 50 cars and bikes despite the Memorial Day weekend. The weather was great and we had some new beauties including a 1964 Ferrari 275 GTS and a classic BMW motorcycle with sidecar!! It’s a Grind Coffee once again was a fantastic host…they even had a “EuroSunday” blend of coffee for our members.

The drive up to Napa was gorgeous…VW, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche were not only the makes represented…but they made for an excellent variety! Steve Prine lead the group through the foothills to the Silverado Winery. The Silverado Winery is continually hospitable and gracious towards us and we would like to say thank you for that.

Overall everything was perfect, including those who attended.. We had a great time and expect that to see attendance begin to grow exponentially as summer approaches! June’s Plus event will feature Ferrari and Maserati at the Pavilions location. We look forward to seeing you there..

EuroSunday Miami Recap:

Waking up in South Florida to a beautiful beach day is something else. Waking up on a Sunday in anticipation for EuroSunday is a beautiful day in an entirely different league. Once a month 15 to 20 fathers, sons, brothers, girlfriends, and plenty of car lovers, strap in and settle into their freshly cleaned European steed Sunday morning. Having washed the car the night before or waking up at the crack of dawn the day of, there is nothing more gratifying for an enthusiast than to turn the ignition and blip the throttle on a freshly cleaned euro-exotic. We’re ready for EuroSunday!

This past Memorial weekend, euro car enthusiasts made their way to the meet-up at the Miramar Starbucks. Audi, BMW, Porsche, Lotus, Volkswagen, and Mini were all represented. We’ve had more monikers show up before; however, there was substantial variety in the motley crew that was present.

A modified BMW E30 M3, BMW E36 M3, BMW E39 M5, BMW E46 M3 CSL Conversion, BMW Z4 M, BMW E90 330i, BMW E90 twin-turbo 335i, B5 Audi S4, B6 Audi S4, B7 Audi A4, VW MKI Jetta!!, a pair of VW MKV GTI, VW MKV Jetta, VW MKV Fahrenheit, VW MKV R32, hot red Lotus Elise, Dinan Mini and a Porsche 997 with plenty of GT3 goodies (hope I didn’t forget anyone). The turnout for the memorial weekend EuroSunday was surprisingly active. It was good to see some of you regulars, and even better to see new faces out there joining this pretty elite club.

The highlight of my day was Car of the Month, Jon Silverman’s very clean white E30 M3 with too-many-to-list modifications. I especially enjoyed reading up on this well-documented bimmer, including a few paragraphs on the history of BMW’s first M3.

The red Audi B5 S4 twin turbo is also worth mentioning. A brand new Brembo BBK (Big Brake Kit) with cross-drilled rotors was a new addition since the last time I saw this car. Champion Motorsport Porsche wheels with adaptors for fitment looked right at home on the Audi. Under the bonnet, carbon fiber engine covers and high pressure boost hoses adorned the engine bay. Finishing off the rear were the dual Milltek exhaust tips sitting like they were stock.

Lastly, I would like to mention the MKI “rat-style” Jetta with the best looking drop of the day. How often does one get to see an oldie but a goodie? This project car’s life has just begun…or not!?

Hello EuroSunday!

Recap:
---------------------------------------------------------
Let's do a recap of last week from last week...Both Miami and Sacramento had their monthly events with a great showing of cars. Miami saw rain which kept most of the cars indoors but none the less the diehards were out there to participate in the event. Erik the East Coast director should have his amazing pictures and recap very soon! Sacramento had its amazing turn out of regulars and many many new people. Cars like the Ferrari 599, the Ferrari 275 (car of month from Joe), the pearl orange Lamborghini Mercielago, and an SMG4 E92 M3 were just some of the new highlighted cars. An assortment of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Maserati, Citroen, Pantera, Corvette, Triumph, Morgan, Lancia, Lotus, Ducati, BMW, Lister, Viper, Mercedes, and NSX rounded out the corrals in amazing form. Check out the site for latest pics...they are simply amazing! Funny moment when two separate owners of Mercedes G Wagons came for coffee and were surprised at the number of vehicles....equally surprised to become part of our event! Expect to see them at future events.

The drive left with 10 cars to take a tour of the wine country roads in Placerville. Even with some of the “spirited” sections, the drive surprisingly met with little traffic. This made for one of the best drives and on one of the best routes from EuroSunday. Lunch was at Streets of London in Folsom where the group watched the Foutball game between Spain and Italy. GO ITALY! Thanks to all who participated.

Notice the lack in posts? We have been BUSY!

NEWS NEWS NEWS NEWS....EuroSunday is proud to announce that we are working with the Neilo Concourse group (Larry has them as an official sponsor of EuroSunday - Yeah!) to create a week long extravaganza in the Sacramento area! We aim to have more and more attention focused on this week each year on a national basis. Since EuroSunday has a national presence (Sacramento to Miami and a website still getting over 30,000 hits a day) we will be teaming with Niello Concours to provide numerous venues in an effort to attract enthusiasts well outside the Sacramento area. We'll kick things off with the Red Baron Ball on September 27th, and Rally 4 Kids on the 28th...we are working with sponsors for mid-week venues and of course ending the week with the Nielo Concours events on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Want even more? How about the Euro 500 rally series....We are having a Sacramento meets the Bay Area rally (with lunch in the Napa area) on Saturday July 12th and also Sacramento meets Fresno rally (with lunch in Sonora) on Saturday July 19th. This all leads to Tim Taylor's Capitol to Coast. It is ready to go and the Benbow Inn is taking RSVPsf or the October 10th, 11th, and 12th Rally weekend.!

See the euro 500 rally: A weekend of fun friends and the open road over the next week for full details on the city meets city rallys.
Still need more? This July our event has been moved to Quarry Ponds in Granite Bay (Quarry Ponds in Granite Bay features fine dining and shopping, boutique and spa services, gourmet foods and wine, live music, holiday and special events for the entire family) . This waterfront town center is a destination location vs. a place for EuSu to show up. Larry has been working with the Quarry Ponds team to enhance the EuroSunday experience even more....anticipate a Farmer's Market beginning at 9:00am at our next Plus meeting on July 13th featuring Cobra, Ford GT, and Saleen. Expect to see AutoBahn Detailing out there doing there stuff too! On July 27th we'll be at Quarry Ponds again, and the Farmer's Market is open to us one more time....we have been getting more spouses and families showing up at EuSu and now they have something to do other than watch us all salivate over cars!

More? Quarry Ponds will be open for us on August 7th in the evening. We will be having pre-ticket sales for the Red Baron Ball. Niello Concours will be in attendance with tickets available for their event as well. SacTown magazine looks as if they are also to be an official sponsor also (Go Larry!)...expect to see them while they bring their influence on this event and especially the Red Baron Ball!

EVEN MORE? Adam has a donate button on our site for our free Sunday events...please take the time to donate. We have a goal to meet by year-end and will be tracking each city to see who gets us to our goal first! Besides Adam getting engaged, fiance Shannon graduating from college, moving her to Sacto from Fresno...he has also managed to create a website for Rally 4 Kids, The Red Baron Ball, and has COMPLETELY re-tooled our own website. Expect to see those changes very very soon! If anyone can help us secure sponsors...we would greatly appreciate any influence or help given. Adam, Larry, and Justin are all working at this as time permits all while keeping our Sunday events free and running w/o flaw! We would like to have lunch sponsors for after our drives, sponsors for the website, and sponsors for our special events like plus, rallies, etc (especially the Red Baron Ball and Rally 4 Kids because the proceeds from that event benefit the SCA ~ Sacramento Child Advocates not for profit organization)



Thanks to everyone and we'll see you at EuroSunday!
