Our Story

Since
2002

It started back in 2001 by Lon Mok and Paul Chan — just a group of friends who love European car culture and the community surrounding it. We organized smaller local events using web forums, spreading the word one post at a time.

Our first large event in 2003 was called NorCal vs SoCal in San Luis Obispo. We called it a Gathering because we never liked the idea of cars being judged. Every car — stock or modified — deserves appreciation.

Two decades later, Big SOCAL EURO has grown into one of the West Coast's most anticipated automotive traditions. The spirit is exactly the same.

"People are greater than cars."
