Carjam is the new black (Carfax is so 20th century)

Yep, a great tool. I backed out of a purchase because I discovered the speedo had been around the clock three times and it had had three different rego plates on it, and the plates in the photo belonged to a different bike.

Uh, the jam is lame though. Don't like. Sorry.

communities => sticking together => stickiness => jam => traffic jam=> get a bike and avoid all the jams.

Personally I prefer carmarmalade.

Why change from Carfax to Carjam?

Why change from Carfax to Carjam?

We were getting an element of confusion with a US only based website of the same name. We also wanted something a bit more interesting and something which would match our broader long term plans for lots of different features and the ability for users to "jam" about cars.

I hope you don't mean you're going to start showing exactly where our vehicles live on a map, just to add to the service of giving thieves the address of vehicles..

Stolen car (bike) ordering catalogue.

`Roadmap' used in the sense of software or website or hardware or other geek development sort of stuff is sort of a future plan for features in upcoming releases. For example, Intel has a roadmap detailing all the fancy new Pentiums they're going to release over the next couple of years, and what stage of development they're in.

So no, he's not talking about an actual map of where the cars are.

By the way, you can get that information for about a dollar at a post office anyway. So we're not talking a particularly high bar of entry as it is.

I know, that's why I hate these sort of services. What legitimate purpose does that serve? Atleast the 'roadmap' is just a label for the development plan.

Aaah - good point and one we will add to the FAQ which explains it (accessible from the homepage at http://carjam.co.nz )

True (I am one of those guilty of incorrect entry) but also by operator data entry at the old Post Office - there is a hell of a lot of incorrect data of motor vehicles at the initial change over when minions who know nothing about motor vehicles entered the data in the first place....complete with spelling mistakes.

Two of my vehicles (both German,but that has nothing to do with it) show a 100,000km reduction in odo reading at the second entry....obviously first recorded with the 10th km digit.One is a 1987 vehicle - did they even have computers in 1987?

So a lot of this data comes from paper entries transcribed to computer.
