But... as the man says, no 240 data on that tab.

I restored a copy from 11/22/10. All the data up until then is back now.

Thanks John, I thought it was lost for good.

Yeah, a while back I thought it was lost too. Then I started downloading backups to my desktop and found a restore feature on the website itself. Easy to restore but we lose any good changes since our last good backup.

Happy new year.

Just added my new Z to the registry. My 70 is in the 73 section because of no room

I moved #979 to the correct spot. Just needed to insert a new row. Can you verify the build date though? 08/70 seems awfully late for such a low vin#.

Thanks,

John

Has anyone checked Mike's registry lately? This Bring a Trailer post has a link to it. I followed the link and noticed that the names on the spreadsheet have been sorted alphabetically, but the other columns are still in vin order. My #4642 now has someone else's name next to it and my name is next to someone's '72. I don't know if this can be resolved or not. This registry is such a nice tool. I hate to see it corrupted.

Wow, I haven't been on this site in years but I just got an email notification about this post. Having a registry seemed like such a good idea at the time but the fact is that it was just a public spreadsheet that anyone could edit, and worse, break either unintentionally or not. It would have been much better to have a form that people could fill out and submit their own data to a list that others could only read and not modify. I'd hoped that this site could offer a feature like that but however it's done it would require someone with web development experience which I don't have. Perhaps there are better tools out there these days that would make something like this easier.

Seems dead now

The entire EditGrid site seems to have closed up shop.

Does anyone have an archived spreadsheet? This is a big loss, if no copy exists.

EDIT:

Here is a copy from November 2013: https://web.archive.org/web/20131128034951/http://www.editgrid.com/user/mlwilliams/Z_Car_Registry

I don't have anything newer than that date, but that version was fairly recent. I just saved the file onto my computer, so if it ever gets lost hit me up. I also need to add the last '73 I bought to the list.

I believe one could create a form that feeds a spreadsheet in Google Apps. Might be able to keep the actual spreadsheet locked, only accepting changes from the form.
