Sorry I didn't go...forgot what I was doing, but I remembered later on that day. What a bummer!
This meet is on 2/24/2008. I think you meant the meet that occurred on 2/3/2008. I went to that one, but only a few people showed. I guess everyone was getting ready for the Superbowl.
That one on the 3rd was not us.

Hello Everyone:
Our first Miami event is now over. The day started off at area 7:00am for the staff who cordoned off the parking area in front of Pizza PIOLA. The first cars arrived at 0900, with several more joining soon after. Jorge was in charge of directing parking, while Oscar and his Team were in position for snapshots of all the attending cars.
By 11:00am we had a nice display with 4 Ferraris (360, 430, 612 Scaglietti and 308QV), 2 Lamborghinis (Diablo and Gallardo), Ford GT-40, Porsches, 1 Bentley Convertible, Acura NSX, AUDI’s, BMW’s, Lotus Elise, and a few sport bikes to cap off the list.
It was a rather hot day of (88+F), but there was still a great showing for our first ever event. The majority of the group gathered for lunch at Pizza PIOLA where they enjoyed chatting with fellow gear heads. After lunch the group drove to Hollywood Marina for a great photoshoot. Several of the cars are now the highlight header images for EuroSunday Miami.
We like to thank everyone who participated in our first event in Miami area. We welcome your feed back to continue to improve the event. Please send your comments and suggestions to events@eurosunday.net
Thank you

Next EuroSUnday will be 3/30/08.
EuroSunday’s main event for March has been changed to Sunday 3/30/08.This change is because the original date of 3/23/08 is Easter Sunday (My useless knowledge- Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox; the vernal equinox is fixed as March 21. There are some highly technical rules for determining the actual date of the full moon, but when you take all this into account the result is that Easter can never occur before March 22 or later than April 25 and will not be celebrated this early in the year for another 220 years)
All the usual EuroSunday event activities will be taking place (including the Breakfast Club), but all will happen on 3/30/08 at the TGI Friday's on 14891 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL, 33181 in Miami.
Breakfast club – 9:00am – 11:00am for those who want to talk cars before the event.
Main event – 11:00an – 1:30pm – Drive and photo shoot afterwards.
We apologize for the change in dates but we want to make sure we had all of our team available to direct cars and take some great photos at the event.

Good day everyone. We hope everyone had a happy and safe Easter this last weekend? This is a reminder that EuroSunday is this weekend 3/30/08 at 14891 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, FL, 33181 in front of Publix. Map can be found here on how and where to park: http://eurosunday.net/miami/maps/14891-Biscayne-Blvd.html The EuroSunday team has been working hard to contact all the exotic, rare and vintage Euro car owners in the surrounding area. The turn out for this month’s event should have a great mix of cars. We have also taken all the feedback from everyone and have incorporated it this month’s event. Please continue to help spread the word about the event as this is an all volunteer effort for every event. We also like to thank Eric T. for being the new East Coast Director for all EuroSunday events on the east coast. See you at the event =)

Erik from http://rezmoto.com/
With the plethora of other events this past weekend, there were doubts about how many aficionados would show for EuroSunday’s second get together. Winter Music Conference on South Beach, the IRL race down in Homestead, the Ericcson Open on Key Biscayne, and a Mini rally (although sources say Mini’s get together every other day), were just a few of the events going on over the weekend. So should I have been surprised by the lack of any exotics? Probably not. But as the day progressed, I began to realize there were exotics here. I just had to open my eyes a little wider.
Yes, the Ferraris of the last meet were noticeably absent. The LP640 was probably cruising the beach, while the GT was looking for parking on Key Biscayne. What did show up took a bit of a detailed eye to notice there were exotics in the lot, but what exactly is an exotic? Does it have to be the latest version Porsche GT3? Does it have to be a Lamborghini? Or a Ferrari Enzo whose owner was invited to send his car back for Pininfarina to design a one-off body kit for? (ok well maybe that’s a bad example). The definition is purely based on perception, and I was enlightened to realize right in front of me was a car I would probably never see another like. A BMW Alpina B7Turbo. For a car that was over 20 years old, and a rarity back in its day, taking an in-depth look and seeing it drive down the highway was a pleasure.
Another exotic that showed was a DinanS Mini. This is a new one for me. Not Dinan as a company, but Dinan as applied to a Mini. I haven’t been a big fan of the Mini, but I am now. Other exotics that showed up: Mercedes Benz AMG CLK55 with Nitrous Injection!, A Black BMW M3 with painted black time attack Volk’s, an old skool original Alfa Romeo, and a white BMW M Roadster, Nice!
So in the face of a highly competitive weekend, and only the second get together for EuroSunday, it was an overall success. I took some great pictures, and had even better conversations with some die hard enthusiast for the Euro-exotics. Good times.

The Bimmers Have it
30. April 2008Event
The third installment of EuroSunday was yet again another success. Arriving at 5 minutes to 10 at the nearby gas station to full up, I have an encounter with my first Bimmer. Noticing the carbon fiber trunk, I immediately assume it is here for EuroSunday. After a short conversation with the owner, however, the encounter is purely coincidental–I asked if he, the owner, is here for EuroSunday. Instead of an enthusiastic YES!, I get a questioning look. “What’s EuroSunday?” With a big grin on my face, I fill him in on the event he happened to stumble upon. Excited, he lets me know he’d be back to check it out. Little did I know 3 quarters of the cars that would show up were bimmers! And mostly all M’s at that!
A modified E60 BMW M5, an E39 M5, a plethora of M3’s [no less than 9 of them all modified in one way or another], a white Z4 M Roadster and an M3 CSL conversion were just a few of the bimmers that showed up. It was almost as if this were a bimmer meet-up. Luckily, a pair of classic 70’s mint condition Triumphs, a few late model Audi’s, a Jaguar S-type R, a silver W210 Mercedes-Benz AMG E55, a white Porsche GT3, a Porsche Carrera convertible, and a yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera sprinkled the field of Euro’s. What a sweet turnout! I immediately greeted the drivers and took out my camera to capture the moment. After a few hours of conversation and photography, low and behold the modified bimmer with the carbon fiber trunk showed up. The owner was pleasantly surprised that he stopped for gas that morning and pledged he’d be a regular at future EuroSunday’s.
The plan was to drive south to Speed Demons while along the way we would stop and meet-up with some Mini’s. Being that only a few had planned to go carting, the opportunity to hit the pit lanes at Homestead Miami Speedway seemed like a bit more fun. There was a Porsche/Mini event being held at the track which provided for some awesome photography. Look for some planned track events for EuroSunday in the near future. I, personally, can’t wait…
