<VV> CORSAs Future

[Dave Keillor]

I agree.  Softcopy versus hardcopy is not only much cheaper and much
more accessible, but the time lag between production and publication is
much smaller.

One thing that I haven't seen addressed is the need to sell the Corvair
to new members before selling Corsa.  A strong online presence will help
do that, and so would promoting the car at car shows and cruise-ins.
Someday when I have the time I'm intending to put together a
Corvair/Corse info booklet or packet that's backed up by an online
resource.  Stuff like history, resources, etc.  I get lots of interest
in the car, but it's impossible to do a good "sell" job on everyone.

As others have said, CORSA needs to spice it up (BAM!) in order to
attract a
larger following. With the run-up in collector prices it's an ideal time
to
attract folks who are price out of other collectible cars.  While the
Communique is excellent, the online presence leaves a lot to be desired.
VV
doesn't hold a candle to Corvair Center, for example and the CORSA site
is
pretty low key and very difficult to navigate.  Also, CORSA has a large
body
of useful tech information but the Tech Guide is very poorly organized
and
the latest version (which Mike is working on) accumulates the last ten
years
(!) of technical articles, meaning the current tech guide is ten years
out
of date.  In my opinion, the BOD needs to shed the weight and start
sprinting with ideas from the like of Mike A up in Maine.  Let's see if
we
can liven things up in CORSA! With a little zip we can easily attract
additional members.
