SVX Registration

[Earthworm]

In an effort to track all the SVX's ever made a form has been created to enter the details for as many as we can find.

This can function as an information tool to help us help you with your SVX. For instance, you may have a car problem but the year/model of your SVX was not stated. It would be simple to look this up in the registry.

It can be used to track the status of the SVX's and determine how many are still on the road vs. how many have been totalled or parted out.

The link to the registry page is:

This form is flexible where if you feel that information should or shouldn't be tracked the form can be updated.

If you make an error when submitting your information simply resubmit with the correct info and the previous entry will be deleted.

this is a much better option in my opinion, better than the multiple list all the SVX's you know of threads scattered on different boards. Good Work!

Thanks for making this thread a sticky Earl. (even better would be an "announcement" but that's pushing it )

I entered everything but my vin and it was accepted.

It will accept any and all information you enter in. There are no checks on the information supplied. Idealy we would want to collect all the VIN's though.

I imagine the Vin # is important to ensure they're no duplicates when determining the final numbers. For example, CigarJohnny bought Huck369's pearlie 5spd.

Great site David and I've already sent my 96's info along.

Yeah, I only entered my current SVX, not the 3 I've owned before....but I think that the VIN is a good thing to keep track of, but maybe not have it posted in a public list....

[huck369]

I added mine....
But where can we see the results?

The results are kept private at the moment. As of right now only myself and Earl can see the list. It will be discussed as to what information will be made public/private.

Thanks David

This is a good idea.

You say the form is flexible. By that, do you mean that the form does not constrain you to enter data in all fileds before allowing submission, or do you mean that if a further need is identified, the form can be extended to have more fields? Or contracted to have less fields?

The reason I ask is because of experience I have with the Matra club along these lines. To ensure you know that each vehicle is "real", it is necessary that each respondent supplies a unique identifier. This obviously is the VIN. If the VIN is not supplied, as the list builds and ownership changes, there is no way of determining for certain that you are still dealing with the same car, and duplications will happen. Such as two members putting in a car without the VIN; the first member describes it as Claret, the next member describes it as Burgundy. With no VIN, and particularly with different names, handles or addresses, it will look like there are two cars, when only one exists.

My other point is could you put in a field for the paint CODE, because people tend to call the colours different names, eg Black Pearl, Ebony, Ebony Mica, Black Mica etc etc, again leading to confusion and profusion. And ask for the trim code too, while you are at it.

That is an interesting idea. I think he want the VIN already so he can track the cars by that. It just doesn't show the VIN when you look at the list. Oooops - you can't look at the list yet.

[Earthworm]

I can update the tables for any data input. I actually want to track multiple entries with the same VIN just to track ownership changes. The entries are stored with date of entry to help avoid confusion. I'll make updates to the form to request the color code instead of just the color. The trim can be interpreted from the valid VIN.

[svxistentialist]

Sounds good David.

With the unique identifiers, the data is more reliable.

Just added our two to your registry. I did try to add them once before but I think the site was broken at that time.
