<VV> CORSA vs Collectible Automobile

[John Howell]

Bruce, I recently dropped my subscription to Collectible Automobile because 
the never have any cars in there that I am interested in and because of the 
high price. I found that it is cheeper to check them at the newsstand and if 
they happen to have a car or article that I like then I can buy that issue. 
So far it has been a long time since they had anything in there that I 
wanted to buy !
I have found more interesting articles in Hemmings Classic Car magazine, 
great owner / driver stories and more Corvair stuff, they are Corvair 
friendly.
