Big Southern California Euro Rally 2011
Big Southern California Euro rally this year has come around right after a hot summer as far as I'm concerned; was the warmest in history in San Diego A small Evacuate steam earlier in the week followed by a heat wave was the preamble of one of the best car shows of the year.
Big Southern California Euro 2013 was as hot as the time 2000 cars 3000 I do not know I have not bothered to count Let's just say it was a crapload of European cars for those who wonder about cars they could be labeled Italian Italian everywhere, but Southern California Euro, they are also Europeans like the Germans; like the English.
That said, most of the show is Don t expect much German kingdoms along the French yes, they are too European We all know that Peugeot, Citroen and Renault donation t enter the USDM market with the exception of random lunatic fan could import a shame though.
So here we are, BMW lines and lines and Volkswagen Audis sprinkled with Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Astons.
Southern California Euro is divided into two parts Parking and inside where suppliers tents are situated The truth is, the only collection, outside the fenced area, is large enough that you can literally spend all day at the research out there on the cool cars that right is what really makes the great Southern California Euro it is a gathering of true European car fans it's not just an exhibition organized area where you register for Yes, it s too But as the organizer himself, Mr. Lon Mok said, it is what it is because you and the rest of EU support did a show for the people.
Big California layout South Euro 2013 was a bit different from the collection of last year that you can read it all here.
Gone are the Autocross course and areas of control car drifting instead, those who have been replaced by the use of legal drag racing drag strip race is as American as cheeseburgers and some complained it was not enough t Euro but regardless, I am not in the race slipping so I really enjoyed a lot of spectators show as evidenced by the steady flow of people next to the barrier that divides the drag strip to the spectator area You really be a snob not to appreciate a good race, even if it's a Camaro vs. GTO in a lounge of the European car.
Never Knew a diesel truck could run as fast Who would buy a Gallardo now.
The highlight of the drag strip was certainly ACG Automotive Duramax diesel truck smoking Lambos and RTG Never Knew A diesel truck could run as fast Who would buy a Gallardo now well, I know I'd Who cares if a beast smoking-duped of a truck can beat straight Lol.
Then there was the huge array of sellers All the big names of Southern California were there Tastes HRE Wheels, Bilstein, Eibach, AGC Automotive, HGMS and the list Mossy local dealers as Volkswagen, BMW and Fiat El Cajon Kearney Mesa were also present showing part of the way, I'd really like the new models this year to put some good miles behind the wheel of an Abarth 500.
Big Euro Southern California ended up being a good time I stayed until it was over in 20 hours, so it kind of settles It was good to meet some friends there, talk to people and cars pull some of the great pictures you see here.
Looks like everyone liked too the complaints were minimal especially things like more food trucks were needed to help reduce wait times and to have small booths that sell bottles of water given the crazy hot weather.
One thing though, unlike other years when the show starts early and ends mid-day, Big Southern California Euro 2013 started 15 hours and went all the way through 20 hours This was a brilliant decision if you ask me the worst part of the day ended with the midday sun and the terrible photography lighting that comes with it in exchange we get some heat in the first few hours, then one afternoon and dusk lightning that helped make some of these more very special pictures, the cool breeze of the evening for the end of the show let all lovers show in a very good mood instead of frenzied mood that someone like me ends when you are sweating online with background outpouring, it was so nice to wrap just a good show with a beautiful sunset and cool weather.
At the end of the show, I commissioned the guys to get me the German RallyWays plate very cool that you see here, I wanted to look red, yellow and black to the registration sticker which is located just happened to be very similar to branding colors RallyWays instead of the standard blue and they kindly provided the sticker to the plate that I'll be adding shortly.
Their work was high, even under duress of having hundreds of plates that day, I highly recommend that I know I'm very happy with my new plate.
