Im going to say that this event on sunday was off the hook,
and this is coming from someone who goes to a lot of Automotive anything through out the year.. Good job to the Vendors, Shops, Tuners, Sponsors, Car Clubs, Friends, Wheel Companies, and everything that bonds this all together.. A lot of automotive passion showed up that day, and it was awesome.. I do agree on the following, Concrete categories would make judging more civilized, because Gil is the man, and its fine to have a Non-Euro in the show, so award it for best Non-Euro.. Don't set yourself up for it, by knowingly award with error, You are the ones who would've complained about this, so think from your feet about that in the future.. If 20 dollars was supposed to come with something? Gifts, Coffee, Car Parts, etc.. Your all crazy then, There are shows you attend, where you pay 15-30 just to exhibit, so no complaint there.. Def looking forward to next year.. I think category wise, if you have cars like the ones in that booth, which had like a raced out BMW, you should make a separate category, since Im sure the people didnt bring it to show for nothing, but having it compete, against like Steves BMW, isnt fair either.. Cars from Status Motoring, Martino, Xclusiv Auto, etc.. Should have a class of its own.. And GTR is an awesome car, just cause you cant afford it, dont make it exotic. M3 today is going for a price an R34 GTR went for then, Is that an exotic? How about Limited Production? I think 1M is more exclusive since the ratio of 1M to GTR is obvious.. But none the Less, Congrats to the Winners!!

I have never deleted a post I made about last years show. I actually didn't even attend last years show personally. So to say I was going around saying anything is false. I think the turnout for this show was amazing. Are there things I would have done differently. 100%. I was not the host or the organizer of the event so its not my call. I think there were plenty of cars there that should have definitely won trophies, but again thats not my call. |

Also having that other idiot using the logic that if a person can't afford a car it becomes an exotic is stupid. Apparently not every person that drives a BMW has a brain. Saying that no car on this forum qualifies for best exotic is offensive since there were a ton of M cars(which are basically the same as the GTR) out there.

agreed! it also would make sense not to rag on the non euro cars during the raffle if you are going to award a non euro an award. GTR=sports car not exotic.

These guys don't realize it's the enthusiast with their affordable non exotic cars that makes these meets great. Sure, If you have deep pockets and can afford a 150k car or more out of a showroom doesn't make it autOmatically a show car winner. It looks nice, and big deal u slap some paint into it. Just because you slap some expensive rims and tires into the car, doesnt constitute modding!

IMO the event (in itself) was a success -- there were a ton of great cars, both OEM & modified, the weather was great & everyone seemed genuinely interested in supporting the european car community, regardless of what make you showed up in. The "goodie bad" was not supposed to be a slam dunk, this was a charitable event so nobody should've expected a "Free Turbo/SC Upgrade" coupon inside. As for the trophies, there's no point in bitching & moaning -- it's a contest, a very small amount of people win a trophy, a lot of people don't (little league was a long time ago guys, not everyone gets a trophy just for participating). I do think it's very important that for future events a distinction is made between the entrees -- Euro vs. Non-Euro cars, Individual Owners vs. Sponsors, etc. Otherwise, I'm got very minor suggestions for next year -- Maybe have some more dynos & charge a fee for people to do some pulls, do the raffle during the middle of the day, etc. etc. Last edited by benzy89; 05-02-2012 at 09:01 AM.. |

Loved it this year. Keeps getting bigger and better. I didn't care about the gift bags, raffles or trophies. I didn't even bother to buy raffle tickets. I just love to see all the cars. Models walking around. Hanging out. Dyno was a great idea. Line for food was a bit long. But I expected it would with that many people. Will definitely go to Eurofest 2013.

so much hate lol.
I had a good time with the guys that met up in Fort Lee, the cruise was the fun part of the day even though I blew a boost hose on the way there lol. The show was a cluster fuck due to people parking everywhere, I also though fencing the vendor are was pretty stupid as it made it look as it the only show cars on display where the ones inside that area.. |
