Gould's MicroCar Event

I had been waiting all year to attend the 13th annual Gould's MicroCar Classic in Newton, Massachusetts (outside Boston). It certainly was no disappointment, an awesome event with all kinds of micro and mini cars from all over the world. We drove our 1991 Nissan Figaro down from Ottawa, Ontario overnight and met up with the gang Saturday, July 12. A beautiful collection of microcars filled the lawn and streets around Charles and Nancy's house. Quite the crowd! We paraded to the Larz Anderson Automotive Museum in Brookline, where many of the drivers drove members of the public around the grounds to give them a taste of a different kind of transportation. (Must be a first for a car show!) We had a great feast that night back at the Gould's, a fun ice cream run that night (a sight to see for the locals!), and back for the traditional Margareta's. We had to miss the Sunday drive to return to Ottawa, but did manage to drive through Boston (and the Big Dig!) and Salem on the way back. A great weekend, a great bunch of people, and a memorial event, can't wait to return. Thank you, Charles and Nancy and friends, what great people and great memories. You meet the nicest people in micro and mini cars!

Hope you enjoy the images.
