[Zmagnette] ZMG Roster

Thu Nov 28 21:42:51 MST 2013

Monocoque does not mean there's no chassis, it simply means that the chassis and body-shell are integrated.  That said, I mispoke. 'Tis neither "chassis number" nor "serial number" to which I referred, but alas, the "car number".  

Doesn't it feel good to have that issue resolved!

Cheers,
Allen

> There is no chassis it’s a monocoque. Do you mean the serial number for the car or the body number? I’m not sure if it’s only Varitones that have body numbers or if they all have a body number. Maybe we should do engine numbers too? Just some more thoughts/questions.

Granted that NAMGAR does the registration aspects of ZMG, but on occasion it might be handy and/or fun to have our own casual records.  Maybe, for example, we'll discover we have some sequentially-related cars. More seriously, we may discover some subtle mid-model changes that affect technical concerns.  I'll propose that each of us can pursue this at his/her option, unless Mike finds a glitch in being able to include this in the data. It would be neat to be able to search our cars by chassis number. If the data is available in the roster, Mike need do nothing more, a member can simply import the data to an Excel file, allowing one to  organize and search by chassis number.
