Thanks for doing it, and also thanks for taking the time to tell us about it. We appreciate all that you admins do. You're the reason that this is IMO the very best auto enthusiast website anywhere.

I put a bunch in, some dead from the wrecking yard. It looks like a few are dupes from before and may need to be deleted.

Wow.
I've been ignoring this thread. I knew my VIN was in the database, so I did not even read about what you have done.

Well, slap me naked!

I gotta go get chassis numbers and build dates to fill in the missing info. You added a LOT of feilds besides VIN. Neato. Now I'll have a new quest- get VINs, get all VINs!

Nice work amigo.

more improvements to the Members VIN pages ...

- added a red colored background for VIN numbers that fall outside the known VIN range for that year

- added a yellow background for the range of known '74 LE cars

- added letter coding for:

c = car has chassis number listed
d = car has date code listed
s = car has sportomatic transmission


(IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Andy

PS: if you haven't done so already, please take the time to update all your VIN information!

Even more updates to the VIN pages. I added pictures and better explanations to the "Help" links on the VIN editing page.
I also rearranged that page and added some more text to make it more clear as to what each option means.

Please let me know if that all makes sense and if the Help popups are actuall helpful (and correct!) ...
If you find anything that you think ain't right, please let me know ...


also, i added the following:

- checkbox for "does the car have a Sportomatic Transmission?"

- checkbox for "is the car a Factory GT or m471?"

PLEASE only fill out the "Custom Porsche Color" fields if your car actually has a "98" or "L98" color code or a code that is not listed in the dropdown.

If you car was repainted from the original color, please use the field "Current Color" instead!
