2011 Great Pacific Northwest Micro-Minicar Extravaganza.....(the Abbreviation keeps getting longer) this sunday

This year will be bigger and more fun than last.

Unbelievable but true!.

YouTube - ‪2011 GPNW microcar show promotion‬‏


June 12 outside Portland Oregon

Host Hotel

McMenamins - Grand Lodge Home

show starts around 9-10 depending on the strays..and ends around 3-5 depending on how long owners hang around....likely one of the most laid back shows ...and most of the cars seen are going to be things youve never seen in person

Hey, I had a subaru 360!

No micro car today, but . . are we talking AM or PM? I can't make it at 9am but I might get there by 5 pm if the Cornelius Police are not their usual selves. I hate their sobriety checks!

 

[sh0rtlife]

LOL "am" tho ive been told as early as 8 this year..shrugs..ill be there with my ragtag pair of lloyds the stocker and the alfa inspired beasty

 

[78-AR-SPIDER]

I'll see you on Sunday

 

[Skid]

Wow, wish I'd seen this yesterday. Would have been much more fun than finally disassembling a GTV6 parts car today.

I love microcars and haven't seen any in decades. Too bad about the rain...

 

[RC Hiatt]

Well, it's 4:16 PM and starting to rain. . .I may not get there by 5 PM but I will have one for those who did make it. Cheers!

 

[sh0rtlife]

[RC Hiatt]

Sheesh, whats taking so long?

 

[Skid]

[RC Hiatt]

Wow, looks like I missed a good one! Not at all like I pictured from the Youtube thingy. Thanks for the pictures! Next year maybe. . .

 

[sh0rtlife]

yeah and its anything but the "big car snobbish" that in general most shows are..many owners will let you climb in or take you for a drive...touching leaning on etc are all fine here!!!!!...the average owner will gladly stand around answering questions open and shut things etc

if you look thru the cruise stuff a fiat 500 showed up...get this it was a RENTAL CAR..she got at the airport.........


ill post up next year 30 days out
