Default hey Canadians...

What about a new section for 'Canada' in the Regional Group? Would you use it? Go here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=365652

and add your thoughts. I think it would be a neat idea. :)

I think it would be a great idea. I would love to hook up with a few more forum members from neighbouring provinces. :cheers:

Yes I would use it. Particularly on how to get parts across the border without that terrible UPS/FedEx brokerage levy. Some 24% for a simple bar-code scan. We could link with our colleagues and our American friends and match just-cross-border mail drops.

That would be an idea - trying to locate the correct parts in information in Winnipeg can be trying at times - it seems that all the parts dealers and speed shops in town no nothing about corvettes and or ordering parts - trying to source plug wires and everyone says they have a direct fit until I come down and pick them up and they are no where close :) :)

I emailed Troy about it a month or so ago, and he ignored the email. I understand that others had made the same suggestion earlier and got the same (non)-response.

It would be a useful addition to the Forum.
