MikeW's Online Spreadsheet - Needs Fixing

[Jeff G 78]

I don't even know where to start in the 280 section. It has been scrambled pretty well. Not only are the rows sorted wrong, but my notes are gone. Does anybody have a screen dump or saved version on their hard drive? I have a feeling that fixing mine would be futile. It can either be fixed all at once BEFORE anybody fixes their line, OR each member can repair individually. There can be no mixing and matching.

It a Big Time Mess...Only solution is to trade cars! :-)

Let's be honest here, some jerk keeps messing with it. I must have gone in and corrected the info on my cars 5 or 6 times and someone keeps screwing it up. I pulled my info off altogether a few weeks ago. It's a real shame -I thought Mike had such a great idea and it worked for a long time before someone ruined it.

[Jeff G 78]

OK, mine are fixed - for now...

BTW, who is "Nota280 (Stealth-Z)"? While I was fixing my entries, I noticed that a whole bunch of the 280Zs are listed by him and each note reads the same - "Engine compartment tag from Sacramento California area Pick-N-Pull". His bio only shows him owning one Z, yet the registry shows 34 of the 84 cars within the 280 tab being owned by him. There are also a few 240s and a few 260s under his name.

Does he just pull VIN tags from junkyard cars??? If so, that's cool, I just found it interesting.

OK, so I created a database and it works good but it requires everyone to log in. Not a real good solution. I will keep trying to figure something out.

In the meantime if everyone corrects their info I will see about importing it later.

I think lonetreesteve is right. Someone obviously can't leave it alone, for whatever reason. Too bad, because it is a nice feature to have on this site.

I agree, if it was part of this site they would need to be logged in to modify it and the admins would have a record of that.

I wonder if the hosting company used for this site includes the mysql package for database management. Might be able to take advantage of that if it is.

Yep. My info is completely wrong. Not a single field is correct.

Yes that was me pulling them off the junkyard cars. I thought adding them to the spreadsheet was a good idea to let people know what happened to all those Z's.

Right now I am Z less except for my wife's 91 300ZX. So I do not hit the sites to much.

I tried several times to get my name changed here from Nota280 to Stealth-Z but the requests went unanswered. I originally chose Nota280 because I had a 78 2+2 Fairlady Z.

[Jeff G 78]

Gotcha Nota280. Thanks for clarifying. I can't believe there are that many JY S30s. Over the past 15 years, I know of ONE S30 in a Southeast Michigan JY. It was removed from the JY at least 10 years ago. It must be nice to live in an area with so many Z cars.

[Nota280]

Those were over a short period to. There were many more before I thought about collecting VIN tags. The online registry is what got me collecting the tags.

I've re-entered my data from scratch at the top, and highlighted the correct data in light green. Cleared the individual erroneous cells where I could find them (my VINs and engine #'s, mostly). We'll see how long it lasts...
