<VV> CORSA Members on the Internet

Wed Mar 10 00:57:14 EST 2010

It's the only part of CORSA that I miss, other than my fellow enthusiasts. 
However, 45.00 a year for a magazine subscription is pretty steep.  If it 
does have to go bi-monthly (and I've anticipated it for some time), it's 
REAL steep. Ken's right about economies of scale.

But it is a quality magazine, and the club should be justly proud of Mike 
and Harry's renditions.
