Evening all,

Here's an idea I've taken from a Porsche 968 forum I'm a member of. The idea is to chart the location of S's all over the UK and beyond.

The locations may not be exact for security reasons but will give a good idea of how many S's there are in your rough area, which can be helpful if you're trying to organise a meet.

If you choose a pin in the colour of your car it's also quite handy:

ETA CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS BY NICECUPOFTEA:

"Click "map access" top right, type "tvrsseries" and click unlock. Then click "additions" and go to "add marker - detailed" and add your user name in the top box, and town/county. You don't need address or postcode fields and I would leave them blank for security personally. Don't forget to choose the colour of your pin! Then click "preview" to check and "submit" when you are happy!"

Hope you like the idea (and that it works!)

Phillpot, you had two entries, so I've removed one.

And I've also removed my road name and post code!

This seems to be going down a treat - up to 8 entries and its not even 830am!

Hmm, how did I end up in Marocco?
Ah, is this one of those 'woke up and drove to Morocco' threads? ;-)

Added but could you edit my post code out please. I've managed to locate the pin at the nearest big town rather than my village, but somehow thought I needed the post code to complete the upload.

Cheers.
Done (but please check you're not in Istanbul now!).

Could this be added to the Wiki's at top of forum?
Or even consolidated somehow with the owners list?

You must live in a road close to my girlfriend who lives in Manland Way.
Yep, Manland Avenue. You won't have seen the TVR here for nearly 2.5 years due to the rebuild but in the meantime there have been lots of toys on the driveway and in the garage...

My favourite car on the road is the Citroen 2CV racecar !

Just been through and removed duplicates etc.

We're up to 30 cars now. Not a bad effort for a day - shows how well read this forum is too.

Oh dear - I've just dragged and dropped Gifdy into Wales by mistake and there is no address in his entry so I can't relocate him back.
Doh. Still finding my feet with this thing and the administrator rights seem to be a bit too super powered - sorry!

Was just about to say the same - is this perhaps powered by google maps?
Yes I think it is.

For some reason it didn't see, to work properly on my tablet - have you tried it from a laptop?
Same - it crashes my iPad!

Thought for the future.

All cars have a mandatory gps device fitted.

It broadcasts a unique ID.

Stuff that in an interactive map -then we can see TVR's whizzing about all over the place!
Yes - lots of potential uses for GPS in cars. Some insurance companies are now offering reduced premiums if you agree to let them fit a GPS. Erm... NO THANKS !
