"75 Roadster Registry

Billy Bob, as a fellow Canadian with a very American nickname, I am surprised at your insinuation that the '75 Corvette Roadster Registry is a "cash grab".
Obviously you have not created a website before and provided a "service" such as I am trying to do.
The cost to maintain the site, provide postage for a quarterly newsletter as well as the production of the same is nowhere covered by the membership fee. The information on members and their whereabouts is by design - they simply don't want the publicity! As I am sure you are aware the '75 Corvette Roadster is rare indeed. The idea is to try and find out how many are out there and share information on this. It takes time to do this - time is money, I hope you are spending yours wisely these days.
I am the past Competition Director for the Canadian Council of Corvette Clubs (eastern) as well as the Communications Director responsible for setting up their website and the production of the quartely newsletter. Retired from that now, I am spending my time consentrating on the '75 Corvette Roadster Registry hopefully with some help from folks who believe in the Corvette lifestyle and the commeradery it usually has.
Save the wave and the '75 Corvette Roadster!

'75 Roadster Registry,

This will be my last post on this issue so it doesn't appear to be a flame or offend anyone, but to address your response, yes I live in Canada, but am Russian-Canadian, Not American. As to how I got my nickname that's another story.

And yes I have created several WebPages that provided many a service.

To get individuals to give up their cold hard cash you have to have something they want of offer something they cant get elsewhere for free or less.

Look at CAC, lots and lots of new content, forums that have no equal as far as people and help, not to mention the general comradery around these parts, it make one feel welcome.

You on the other hand are running a web site off your free sympatico web page space that you get with your internet connection. You do offer a news letter, in print I assume but as to what it covers or content is in it is unknown.

You claim to want to share information but all you have so far shared is the same content that is available elsewhere. If I was a 75 vert owner I would like to know of others in my potential area, and I would expect a registry to make this information available, why else would one register? If the only person that knows this information is yourself I think we call that the government.

With regards to people not wanting to display information great, understandable, but not even a mention as to something like 100 corvettes now registered or 10 In Texas 40 in New York etc, it just seems odd that this information isn't available.

Time is money to quote you is not a completely true, some of us do it for the love of the vette at great personal expense, read the boards you will see many people that use almost every possible dollar and every free chance they have, all to restore a legend.

As I have previously stated I don't own a vert but my interest in and love of corvettes led me to check out your site.

I'm glad you have the free time to actively pursue local organization, that further the corvette way of life. Unfortunately my free time does not allow this, as I am of those individuals that spend my time with my vettes.

Glad it's your last !

I didn't know we had such things as a Russian Canadian.

If you join the '75 Corvette Roadster Registry you would have access to some of the things you mentioned. As far as finding information about this mark on the net, I guess one could do that with any subject matter if they had the time.

I hope you enjoy your Corvette - it was one of 33,836 made - mine is only one of 4,629 made - rare indeed as Corvettes go, the rarest number of Roadsters made since 1956!

You certainly can find a lot of owners when there are a lot of vehicles, but rare is rare and that's what I am trying to do whether it is with a "free" website or not - end of conversation.

You guys finished flaming each other? Hate to see fellow Canadians ****ing at each other in front of our American cousins.

I don't see the big deal if Rick wants to try to set something up to make money. I assume that he delivers what he promisses. Have you ever been on an airplane and seen them trying to sell you a $3 garden hose for $50 in their in flight mag? If you don't like, don't buy.

There is another registry with similar purpose

I personnally don't see the need to tell the world what I have an where it is stored.
