2009 Calendars Order Now!

If you got here via the XK Data, Saloon Data, XJS Data, XJ6 Data or the Healey Data nav bar, this blog can't "live" on multiple domains as the blogging software doesn't support it. The items discussed below apply to all domains, and I'll endeavor to highlight items from all sites.

Friendly States (Now With Free Car Number Decoder Ring!)

Filed under: Site Updates

The car detail page will now tell you what the various car number prefixes and suffixes mean…for example, this Jaguar 420 displays the decoded info to the right of the data plate. Not a big deal, but it’s still nice for folks who may not know what’s what.

I also have run a script which changed all of the abbreviated US states into their “friendly” names–hopefully helping the postal-code challenged among us. And I got rid of the abbreviated form of “United States”…previous sentence excepted.

  1. w00t! Thanks Roger… I always hated that searching for “WA” (which sometimes returned cars in Australia), Wash, & Washington was required to find stuff around here!

  2. Yer welcome, PaulS has been bugging me about it for some time…with good reason. Though I didn’t go through and catch ALL abbreviations, just the standard postal code versions, so there may still be some “wash” out there.
