CORSA 2012: More report

[EDWARD BOURGONDIEN]

I'm always concerned about cars getting damsged during  shows but I find it
doesn't happen often and it is usually at multi brand open shows where a
lot of non car peple attend.  At our councours there will be the owners
sitting near their Corvairs and I'm sure watching over them so I don't think
finger prints etc will be a problem.  If we can get people to come and look
they may get interested in Corvairs.
