Thank you for contributing, yea i don't know the specifics of the geocode and im tweaking it to automatically offset if there are two coincidental points (might be why yours was way off). I did go in a change it to a general location near a Bell's Corner - take a look. If people want to put in a specific address that works too but some users might be aprehensive in doing so which is why just a city, state entry works too.

Fantastic! You hit within a half-mile due south of where I actually live. Plenty close enough! Thanks!

If people have any mechanics that work on classic minis or parts supply stores please post on here and I will put it on the map.

I've made a few more tweaks to the site. A common question I see on many forums is people asking for referrals for mini mechanics in their area. So, this update is to include mechanics location (current'y not many), parts suppliers, and shops that do both garage work and ship parts. The current garages and suppliers are just from an initial google search. If you would like to contribute please feel free to use the contact link. MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Sorry about that, I think the reason for some of the entries being slightly off was I added a code for taking the average for points at the same location (it moved them too far). I'm cartodb (database site) won't let me display multiple inforwindows at the same point, just the most recent. I'm working on fix to all for clustering so people with multiple cars can be seen. I'll continue to work this and post updates when available. As mentioned earlier, please feel free to send me comments, ideas, critics, so that we can have a useful tool.

Great job Mayfair - just added myself in.  I see several friends in there already.  In the Google forms API you may want to add an association with a user Google account just to prevent multiple entries/spamming.  Unless that's built into this app already.

Thank you for doing this!

Thanks, yea, I broke the first of many web development rules and rushed to get this out. I thought about the Google account setup but I was really wanting a site that didn't need another account/login/password setting (I think we all have enough of those). I have seen some multiple inputs that I've edited in the database.If it gets out of hand I'll work something out, but I'll take any comments, ideas, critics to make this a better tool for the community.

thanks again for looking.

Would this have been the mini parking lot or parking garage or some such thing?  I remember adding my mini to one around that time...  So long ago -
