JustGav Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I realize this has been brought up before... But how about a database on the site, detailing VIN numbers, model types and owners of the vehicles as well as current mileage when the data was entered.. Something similar to this was done with the Peugeot 106 rallye series 2, and it was great to see a) the number of cars, b) stops anybody fiddling with mileage, damage and the like? Database fields could include.. Owner : Mileage : VIN Number : Model type : Mods : It could even be linked into the garage bit? Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 True, but we have such a small number of the total number of Supra owners on here that it hardly seems worth it (I think it was 180-odd paid members at last count and there are 600+ UK cars before we count J Specs). I guess it could be useful to keep track of the member's cars at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Would this not be ideal information for car thieves too? Especially the VIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 I did actually think about that... perhaps the VIN number is entered and stored encrypted but not displayed, I realize this opens up a whole can of worms... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Its a good idea but as said already vin no's a no no for me. We could just have model no instead e.g alfqz. That would give the info about the car e.g manual / auto, aerotop etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Yeah, good idea, use the model number... Is there any other numbers that could be used to uniquely identify the car without giving away VIN details... So far.....

Aerotop Dave Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 ...and it was great to see a) the number of cars, b) stops anybody fiddling with mileage, damage and the like? I guess the factors to record would be determined by what you are actually aiming to do with this. If it's to keep a record of cars so that we can better track their history from a purchasing point of view then mods are an obvious thing to record, but then it starts getting cumbersome. What are the aims of this do you think? (this is a genuine 'okay let's explore the possibilities' question) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 V Box... feel free to suggest why it benefits members, state your case I would have thought that was painfully obvious for a performance car owners club seeking a new events organiser/moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
