Just tried it and can't get on - has Ben spilt Christmas beer on the server? (tried at 1600)

Just because someone doesn't use a prticular site, doesn't mean that it fails to provide a useful service. In my opinion the CCCUK site is there to help all Corvette owners. It is a useful asset and it would certainly be a loss to a very many UK Corvette owners if it disappeared.

Richard That's your View and yes I have mine, The CCCUK site is along the same lines as the Atari games system great twenty years ago but things have moved on quite a bit!!

I know of quite a few members who feel the same, Look how easy this forum works and every other Corvette site in the states works. Nothing wrong with the CCCUK just go on the C6 section their is some amazing comments from members back in May and June 09? Ok maybe nobody has added a comment but I think that says something about it.

It's old and out of date in my view and a lot of others, If you like that sought of thing then that's fine. soapbox

Its only my view the Classic Corvette club have a Classic Website too. Next think you will want a cassette player in your car.banghead

Look how much traffic this forum gets by comparison. In fact, if it wasn't for the number of threads you start I think it would be pretty much dead and gone.

I've always found the CCCUK site pretty easy to use, and I think Ben should be credited with its upkeep that he does in his spare time.

These two forums do (and pretty much always have done) had a different (main) dynamic, it used to be this was the new and the tuner end of the Corvette spectrum, and CCCUK was a bit more C3 and before. Now the C4 has probably moved more or less to CCCUK, C5's are split across both, and if what you're saying about the C6 is the case, looks like the C6 chaps are mainly camped out here.*

PS Sorry I kicked this off by mentioning the other UK Corvette site...

I think the CCCUK site is great. There are a wealth of knowledgeable owners that regularly post there, and i have never noticed it to be out-of-date.

Whenever I've posted a question on the CCCUK forum, technical or otherwise, it has been ignored, so I resort to the main US forums and the guys there couldn't be more helpful - just my personal experience though. Still, I renew my membership each year all the same wink

I used to use PH Corvette forum more than CCCUK but more recently I have switched as there are less idiots on the CCCUK forum. I still use PH a lot but not so much this forum as get totally pissed off with the general negativity and personal sniping.

Tut Tut.

Now then ladies and Gentlemen. Who's up for a cruise to Claremont's New Years Open Day on 1st Jan? All meet up from the Surrey wing (and the rest of the M25 cruisers...) at CLACKET LANE SERVICES at around 10-10:30am?
