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!?

EuroSunday is an event that was started by Sacramento Ferrari owners out in California. Well, now there is an East Coast event and it happens every 4th Sunday of the month. I found out about the event through a post on Audizine.com calling for all types of European vehicles.

This past Sunday was a gorgeous day and was the perfect setting for photography and exotic cars. The diverseness of the types of vehicles parked in a closed off section of the parking lot in a strip mall in Hallandale was just short of amazing. From the white Porsche GT3 with black rims to the battleship grey Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 competing for admiration, there was an enthusiasm in the air similar to that of a child in a candy store. I grabbed my camera and fired off a few shots. In the background, you could hear an exasperated mother just finishing her shopping calling her son to get down to the mall right away to see the exotic car show happening in the parking lot.

Some of the noteworthy vehicles there were a first year supercharged red Acura NSX looking like it just rolled off the dealer lot, the silver Ford GT and a black on black B7 Audi RS4. I was there for only a short time, and being the 1st EuroSunday event on the east coast, it was a rather good turnout. I’m excited for next month.
