Eurotopia began on November 2012 in Santa Monica when a couple of driving enthusiasts came together looking to share a drive through some of California's most scenic roads. Fast-forward to over a year later and Eurotopia is one of the fastest growing driving enthusiast group in Southern California with 500+ users registered on our website www.eurotopian.com.

Below are several pages of our past events.


Pictures from our July 27th drive:

Our May 24th free clinic event had a nice turnout considering it was memorial weekend. We had Euros come in that needed either corner balancing or some sort of minor fix/repair/install with the use of a few hydraulic lifts at no charge to Eurotopia members. It ended with a nice Costco pizza lunch and prize giveaways... and the entire event was free.

A big thank you to BG Productions & MJ50 Foto for shooting the event:
