Good idea Larry had there. I took the liberty of setting up an updateable map and placed my marker. I just used my name and vin.

It might be fun to see just how many Panteras we can locate, might even find one nearby that we did not know about.

Just a thought, any who, here is the link.

Nothing ventured nothing gained.

B. Make it visible only to members?

For now I've featured this topic so it will remain at the top of the list of threads in the pub. If enough people show interest we'll do something to make it a permanent feature of the forum. Map Services dot Org provides the code to that will allow me to feature the map anyway we want.

That would be great, especially if we were able to update photos or add contact info. Too bad I am a computer clutz to figure out how to do that stuff.

Looks like more Panteras in the east so far, except lonely ole me in Florida....but it is still early...

Oh Wow...the modern equivalent of the "Gone in 60 Seconds" black light list except it's in full color with photo's for our overseas 'customers' Wink to pick from.

I see everbody's come clean with their real names and with a town marker so addresses shouldn't be hard to follow up on.....

Just place your pin on a nearby street or neighborhood. Life is too short to not try things out of fear or being too cynical.

Personally, I am quite surprised to see how many cats are not in sunny Ca.

IMHO, stealing 37+ yr old Panteras doesn't pay. The desirability of a stolen Pantera is overstated. First, besides the DMVs, the Clubs all keep international records of the serial numbers, so they're difficult to sell in one piece- at least in the civilized world, which limits their desirability to pro-thieves. Second, to strip one takes specialized knowlege, and even then, the parts are of limited value 'cause the bodies are welded assemblies and the next-most-valuable part- the transaxles- are also serialized in the Registrys. Finally, getting parts for a stolen one someone wanted to keep would be a problem 'cause the vendors also keep logs of who has what, its condition, etc. In 30 years, I can only remember two being stolen (both in So-Cal), and one was a joy-ride. That car was recovered the same day. They also don't tow or hide well. Might as well steal a Shelby Mustang- there's virtually no pro-car-thief market for them, for the same reasons. Amateurs tend to stick to what is rapidly saleable at flea markets etc. like Toyota radios and non-obsolete tires. I wouldn't worry except for your local neighborhood punks & dopers who likely already know what's in your secured garage...

Actually, I was thinking along the lines of adding email so if one wanted to have a get together of all the Pantera owners in Florida one could just email the Florida, or CA or N.C. owners. Just set up your own Pantera specific email address up for security. I know the board works for this...but when was the last get together in Florida?

Just a thought....... George?

Ah Contrare (sp) I am suprised only 6 so far! They must be snoozing, also am impressed at just how many cats are in the east and northeast!

We have 64 markers so far in the short time the map has been put up and they were ALL from THIS web site. I was thinking of waiting a bit before spreading the word around about the map to the other sites I am not registered to just to see how many we put up first.

In FLORIDA...catching up to California, snicker

There are two cars here in Brooksville, mine is down for heavy drive train maint. but the other car is a ready runner and the owner does hang out here from time to time. I will be running in a month or two, and I will be in good shape this fall. I'm going to keep the beater paint job for a while, much more user friendly.

100 CARS PINNED!!100 CARS PINNED!!

Took a bit to get there, I did delete some funky pins. Nice to actually visually see where everyone is in relation to myself.

I was able to meet a couple of owners thru the map and hopefully arrainge a get together sometime in the near future.

I saw J's "Silver Bullet" and am shell shocked and in awe of what can be done to these cars with the right resources and vision. Now the bar has been raised for me.

Have fun!

Looking at the map I could not help but notice how many of us are so close to Kingston.

In 2010 on the Labour Day Weekend of September 3,4,5 we will be celebrating our 5th consecutive event in Kingston, Ontario.

No fees. No charges. No admission. No deadlines. Come as you are. Bring whoever you want. Just bring your cat - for our largest ever East Coast Pantera gathering.

PM or call me at 514-892-9925 for more details.

Hi Angelo, did something happen to the database?

A number of entries aren't there any longer (I'm gone, others in the Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal area are gone if I remember who was there before correctly).

I don't even see you in Lake Worth... it says there are 229 markers, but doing a quick count I only see 100 give or take a few.

Sorry, been gone for a bit dealing with family and health issues, car stuff got on back burner.
I also tried to fix it, seems google had a data loss problem on quite a few of the maps. I emailed the admin for a resolution but have not gotten a response back yet. Might have to delete and restart fresh. Will hopefully know shortly.

Will reply as soon as they reply to me.

Hey, Looks like the map is up and running again with missing entries back where they should be (at least the ones I looked for)!

... now all of the folks who have acquired their Panteras recently can add their locations (and of course the long-time owners who didn't get around to it when it was working before get another chance).

Thanks Angelo!
