EuroSunday Sacramento 2008

EuroSunday Plus Recap Sacramento:

This month’s EuroSunday Plus in Sacramento highlighted Pantera, DeLorean, and Bricklin makes as the featured marquees. With ten Panteras, a Bricklin, and a DeLorean there was an enormous of horsepower disturbing the otherwise docile tarmac as they rolled in to Pavilions. Each car was as unique as the owner, one of which had a nitrous kit installed in an already powerful car. Several interesting vanity plates also made this Plus event one of the most entertaining to date. The solo Bricklin and DeLorean fit right in to the groups making for some amazing photo opportunities.

Several other mentionable cars in attendance were Dennis and his Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series, Greg in his classic Stingray Corvette, and Don in his new 2008 BMW M3 with the massively strong new V8. Some new cars in attendance were a yellow and red Ferrari F360, a yellow Ferrari F430, and four Maserati GranSport coupes. Ferrari had an amazing showing for the event, given the featured marquees. The event featured the most diverse showing of Italian cars to date for a EuroSunday Plus event. There were several other vehicles on hand including a Factory 5 replica racing cobra, two beautiful 1969 Camaros, a slew of Acura NSX’s, several BMW’s, and Audi and Volkswagen cars. There was a good showing of bikes at the event as well including Ducati. Colby and Joe from Luxury Motors were on hand in a beautiful Morgan club car. Grant and Aaron from Dream Car Solutions were out to support the Pantera club in a stunning Orange Pantera powered by a vicious GT-40 race block.

The event ended around 10:00 with the ground shacking pavement begging for mercy, as large block V8’s started up and departed. There were a few late comers that rolled in at the last minute, including a Ferrari F430 with a challenge grill, and a Silver Porsche Carrera GT.

The next EuroSunday Plus in Sacramento will feature British cars of all makes and will be meeting in Davis, California. Details will be posted to the website soon.

EuroSunday’s Sacramento gathering was a record breaker this April, with approximately one hundred cars in attendance. We had one of the broadest collections of cars and bikes Sacramento has seen to date. In terms of motorbikes, everything from BMW to Ducati’s new desmodici arrived on scene. The event was also blessed with the new BMW M3 decked out with one of the first coilover kits from Ground Control. In addition, Sacramento enjoyed the presence of a Lamborghini Gallardo, a Porsche GT3RS, a Porsche 997 Turbo, a Corvette Stingray, Bentley Arnage and an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, to name a few. Some new additions to EuroSunday this month were a Morgan Club Car, a 2008 Subaru WRX STI, a number of Cobras, and a Dodge Viper GTS whose owner drove all the way from Jackson, CA.

Announcements were given by Sacramento’s new spokes woman Amar, who has graciously agreed to volunteer at Sacramento’s monthly gatherings. A highlight of the event was Abram from Autobahn Detail who showed off his pristine BMW E36 M3. Also, the Sacramento Acura NSX club arrived with a number of cars that could not be ignored. A fan favorite at this month’s event was “Poppy Row”. An array of spectacular yellow vehicles lined up together in the main parking lot, giving rise to the phrase “Poppy Row.” “Poppy Row” was comprised of a race spec Acura NSX, Porsche Carrera RS, Ferrari F30, Porsche 914, Lamborghini Gallardo and a convertible Porsche Carrera. Sunglasses were a necessity to observe this stunning display.

The event drive was an 80 mile trek through the hills of Placerville lead by EuroSunday co-founder Adam Cook in his BMW E46 M3 CSL. Twenty-Four cars traveled along HWY 50 inviting the stares (and drools) of other less fortunate motorists who were not part of the bevy of BMWs, Porsches, Vipers, Corvettes, Acura’s, Audis, Cobras and hot motorbikes in a swift moving caravan. An interesting twist to our “Sunday drive” was our happening upon a group of 1960’s Corvette Stingrays also out on a “Sunday drive.” The groups traveled together for a few miles forming one massive high horsepower convoy. The Stingrays eventually pulled off to regroup, with our EuroSunday drivers honking and waving to show their support and respect for fellow gear heads. The drive ended in Folsom where 16 attendees gathered for lunch where, of course, conversation about cars continued. All agreed, a perfect way to end an afternoon.

Keep on the look out for EuroSunday’s exciting new changes and events in Reno, San Diego and Seattle, WA will be commencing in July and August respectively.

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 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..

Hello EuroSunday!
Event images Sacramento:
EuroSunday.net A monthly gathering of car enthusiasts.

Event images Miami:
EuroSunday.net A monthly gathering of car enthusiasts.

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!
