Today I went on a European only car cruise that consisted of VW’s, Audi’s and a handful of BMW’s. It was pretty bad ass! Since getting my 83 MK1 GTI project car I’ve met a lot of rad new people and have gotten to hang out with other gear heads who have share a passion for automobiles. We all met near the University of Utah in a parking lot, I was expecting the usual 25 cars or so but the parking lot kept on filling up as enthusiasts poured in by the droves. I have no idea how many cars actually showed up, but there was a ton.

At least 100 cars convoyed up from The U with a Lamborghini and a Lotus leading the way through Immigration Canyon and ending at East Canyon Reservoir. The drive offered lots of twisties and scenic views. The foliage change was pretty awesome as well. We headed back to SLC on 80 where it was pretty wide open, I had the GTI’s whopping 85 mph speedo buried most of the way back. We all reconvened at Winners Motorsports, a go cart race track, where pizza and drinks were provided. Everybody proceeded to talk about nothing but car shit, I’d never experienced anything like it at all!

Mad props to the guys at Style Projekts aka STP Euros and TDC Motorsports for organizing the event and providing food! I can’t wait to do it again next year!

Here’s some pics, my buddy Jeremy took most of them.
