Here's a link to the pictures I took at EuroSunday. I was only there about 15 minutes though, so I'm sure I missed a bunch of cars.

Looked cool, but some of those cars are not "European" This event I think would be more attended on a Saturday afternoon IMHO.

Gee, you didn't take any pictures of MINIs. The cars at that event must hide in their garages most of the time. I didn't know there were that many exotics in Fresno. In the Bay Area it's normal to see a lot of these cars.

Not very "Euro," but very nice. Will we be seeing you in one soon?

Oh ya, there are bunches of them. We saw three 430's what must have been comming back from that show, they turned off before I could race them........................ Guy's from the bay area sell their houses there and then buy here and have lots of money left over for toys .

No, but I'm hopeful that our next big project after buying a house will be finally restoring my 77 Firebird.

Some of the cars might not be euro but they do fall under exotic, rare and vintage

Sorry but Sunday is the best day for events like this. We have tried Sat afternoons actualy and the turn out was worse. One sunday a month is a small price to pay to have a fun and see amazing cars and talk to amazing people.

We will post our recap soon

Thats cool, but this city is starved for a Friday/Saturday night/afternoon sports car show. We have a few regular, every Friday, Saturday night shows that are very well attended, but these cater to the hotrods and old cars not sports cars. But it's good that you guy's are getting this going .

Hello Everyone,

Well, the first EuroSunday Fresno is now in the books. The day started off at 6:30 a.m. with a few diehards meeting up for the breakfast club. A Triumph, Pantera, and a BMW M3 made up the early morning car caravan to Bentley’s Fresh Market after some fun conversations about EuroSunday and other car related topics.

Upon arriving at Bentley’s we were given 25 parking spots, with know one knowing what to expect. The 25 designated spots were gone in a matter of minutes, due to the wonderful turn out. The limited parking lead to some interesting parking issues as we had to park the cars in a fashion differently than the traditional EuroSunday format, but we made it work. The traditional EuroSunday format consists of having the exotic, rare, and vintage cars showcased up front. Instead we had a inter mingling of cars parking together which still turned out to be a great mix of different marquees and models.

The cars that showed were absolutely amazing. A few members of the British car club were out in their stunning E type Jags, several Aston Martin’s, Lotus Elise’s, and a beautiful collection of other British makes. The Ford GT and Vipers showed up in force to the event along with multiple Ferraris. The amazing Ferrari turn out ranged from F430’s, F360’s, and 308’s just to name a few. A group from San Jose showed up just in time for the drive in their F360, Testarossa, and 308. Several BMW’s and VW’s were in attendance and we had a great showing by the local NSX guys. A Lamborghini Murcielago snuck in later at the event along with a few Porsches and a great variety of other Euro makes. We counted about 100 cars on the days tally for the show part of the EuroSunday event.

The drive after the event had a wonderful turn out, with about 30 cars going on the drive we weaved our way back through the hills behind Fresno. The group got a little thinned out, but everyone had a great time on some good roads. The after the event lunch at Daily Grill was the largest group ever for a EuroSunday event with about 50 people present, everyone chatted and had great conversation about the cars and the days event.

With the first event in the books and with such a wonderful turn out we look forward to seeing our new friends out at the next EuroSunday, and look forward to watching the continual growth among the new EuroSunday Fresno family.

EuroSunday features a car or bike to be the car/bike of the month. This month we chose Troy and his beautiful wide body 356 Porsche.

It was not my intention to annoy you.

I had received an email from M3Dragon with the same content and I was anxious to get the info posted.

Thanks for pointing out the double post.

I've removed it.

Had a great time at the event & saw some cool cars. I noticed from the pictures on http://www.eurosunday.net/fresno/images.htm that my coolant expansion tank & power steering tank looked nasty, so I ordered new Forge stainless steel replacement tanks. Jill actually agreed with this purchase!!

Who owned the Indie Blue Cooper next to you? Did you card it? And what are you going to do about your ugly radiator?

The blue cooper with ghost flames is Kevin (Arcane). What do you mean my radiator? What's wrong with it?

Thanks, I knew he had one but I'd never seen it before. Your radiator is uglier in the pictures than your coolant tank.

Very nice, except for that last picture of Fracky's engine compartment with the hideous coolant expansion tank and radiator. Where was your MINI?
