    Which nation are we talking about?

    I notice the NCRS site is touting the national convention in Windsor, Ontario. Last time I checked, Windsor was not in the US. So would this be the Canadian National Convention? I know some Americans think of Canada as the 51st state but I'm sure the Canadians feel differently.

    Given that the convetion is being held outside the US for the first time and it does draw people from all over the world, isn't it time for a name change to the NCRS International Convention? What better way to bring in the second half of a Corvette century?

    We really don't mind that you think of us as your 51st state. We're bigger, we're on top, and if this was prison guess what that makes you?

    Being that Regional conventions have been held in Canada several times and outside of North America with our brothers in the UK, I have previously suggested that the 'N'CRS should become the 'I'CRS, with the I standing for International. CRS would still stand for Can't Remember S.... ummm ahhhhh, I forget.

        And here all along that we Canadians were letting the USA hold the National Conventions outside of Canada. Doesn't "National" mean Canada?

          Mikey, who says we want you guys for a 51st state anyway...Heck, we might as well have France for a state if we wanted contrary, obstinate socialists in the "Beeg Shew".

              I guess ICRS could also mean Inter Continental Restorers Society...

                  Nah- Chuckles is an old pal-

                  he just has an inferiority complex about the miniscule size of Texas (compared to Quebec, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, BC, etc,etc.)

                  Knows a good beer when he sees one though.

                    Dick,

                    While your in Canada at the NCRS Convention you may just see some old buddies from the 60's. You know those draft dodgers that went to live with the frogs.
                    It's a wonder Clinton and Bush both didn't run for Canada during the 60's.

                    Oh, I forgot this must be about Corvettes, so have a nice time and don't let your Corvette run over any frogs (in the street I mean).

                    Regards,

                    JR

                        Mr. Ward,

                        It may be red but I have a United States flag in my hand.

                        What is your color?

                        Thanks for the reminder,

                        JR

                          A patriotic red and white maple leaf emblazoned Canadian flag.

                          By the way, referring to people as 'frogs' is about as 'PC' as mentioning the n****r word.

                            Yo..., Mikey...

                            Well, our Spring passed during the night Wednesday, and Summer is upon us...got up to 81 here yesterday. You need to get down to a National Convention close to Texas again so we can tip a few Shiners.

                              Sat. Night 9:00 pm....Be There

                              OK,
                              Lets settle this.
                              I propose we all meet the Saturday evening at 9 before the International Convention commences at the midway point in the Detroit / Windsor tunnel.
                              Remember to bring your hockey sticks! Us Canucks will supply the nets and the real suds!
                              Please stand at attention for the unilingual anthems with your engines in the off position!
                              We can all then get on with Broach week.
                              Syd
