This is the most fun that you can have with your pants on, and those of us who drive microcars pantless will have even more fun!
You won't want to miss this one! Gould's Sixteenth Microcar Classic Event will be the best ever!
This year's event will be held on July 8, 9, & 10, 2011 at our home here in Newton (near Boston), Massachusetts, and it will be three days jam packed full of Microcar lunacy with tons of Microcar tours and activities, great food & beverages, strange cars, and even stranger people!
The Sixteenth Microcar Classic will begin with Friday evening's Microbrews, wine, cheese, and Hors D'hoeurves arrival reception, which is a great opportunity to unload your microcars and make last minute repairs and preparations while meeting plenty of new and old friends, and terrorizing the neighborhood with rides in the microcars. We will party late into the night as we all get ready for the weekend's activities.
Saturday morning will dawn with fresh high octane Peet's coffee, pastries and bagels, while registration continues in anticipation of our first short parade to the oldest car museum in the country, where we will arrange our bubble cars on the beautiful lawn of the 1888 Larz Anderson Carriage House for the public display. We will offer continuous rides to the hordes of spectators as we buzz around the field all day long, followed by an awards ceremony with trophies for the people's choice of three cars in all of four categories, as well as several other ancillary trophies. After that, we will parade back to Gould's for the world famous eclectic Memphis barbecue and ethnic diversity menu extravaganza, followed by our second ten mile scenic Micro tour, which brings us to a local ice cream shack, where a fresh crowd of amazed spectators will oogle over out tiny transportation pods. We will finish Saturday up with the Gould's World Famous Two Stroke Frozen Margarita Party late into the evening.
Sunday will dawn with a fresh batch of high octane Peet's coffee and bagels and pastries, as we prepare for our long (120 mile round trip) Micro tour  to Wachusett Mountain. This will be the most enjoyable drive you have ever had in your microcar, as we cover some of the most beautiful country roads with plenty of scenic stops, and photo opportunities. Don't worry about the distance as we will have a whole crew of competent certified Microcar mechanics with us, and tow vehicles strategically placed along the route to handle any emergencies which we cannot solve by the roadside. Many owners who had never driven their microcars more than seven to ten miles before our past events, have successfully completed this long tour and have been so thankful for our encouragement to join us. We have only had one catastrophic failure over the past several years, and nearly every single car has successfully completed this long tour!
There is nothing like seeing sixty to ninety microcars touring through the country side, and climbing up the mountain road. If you are timid, you can leave your micro at the Gould's and catch a ride with another more adventurous owner so no stress whatsoever! Along our country tour adventure, we are off to the Mountain Barn Restaurant for a great (and reasonably priced) feed, followed by our return to Gould's Matchbox Motors Microcar Museum to view all of the derelict projects that just did not make the cut for this years event. Then back to Gould's home to relax, freshen up at your hotel and prepare for our farewell dinner at a wonderful authentic Mexican outdoor cantina  for a great final meal!
Most guests will stay on to Monday morning, so as not to miss a moment of this weekend's activities. We have a great rate at a very nice local hotel which is less than six miles from our door, and we have plenty of safe overnight parking at our home for your microcars. We have a designated trailer parking area, and multiple tow vehicles available to retrieve broken down microcars. We have a crew of certified microcar mechanics in Gould's Certified Roadside Assistance Program (G-CRAP) who will be on call to help with any complications which develop over the weekend, and we can usually get you back on the road in time for the next activity. We also have Gould's Seats And Asses Program (G-SAAP) so if you come without a car, we will find you a seat in someones microcar, but you will have a ton more fun if you bring your own car! Finally, we will have loads of great microcar stuff to buy for yourself or for gifts for the microcar fanatic in your life!
This is not a static "Park And Polish" type of event on some hot asphalt parking lot, but rather a European style, dynamic, driving event on gorgeous country roads, and lush green venues for breaks or exhibits. If you have never attended one of Gould's Microcar Classic Events, make this year your time to experience this unusual Microcar event. If you have been here before, you know what we are talking about, and you will want to come on back for the Sixteenth Microcar Classic.

Hope to see all of you in July!
Charles & Nancy Gould
