Production Index (tonyz4c's)

[MS_Z4M]

[*Unsure if this is the correct place for this.*]

I am sure many are familiar with the exceptionally useful Production Index of Factory specs for global Z4s available at numericable (OG in French). The site now opens with a splash page of the following warning:

http://perso.numericable.fr/warn.php?orig_url=http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index.html

"The page you are viewing will no longer be accessible from 09/30/2025 , due to the closure of the hosting service.

If you own it, remember to save your content as soon as possible.

I do not have the internet nous to know how to archive/save the site data but it would be a great shame to lose such a handy resource. Does any more tech-savvy person have a way of saving it?

I've got a local mirror of the data behind it just in case (I quite often mirror stuff like this locally as bitrot is a thing on the internet.) I can't (and don't want to) just host it elsewhere, I'd need to fix a bunch of JS errors with it but the data behind it is saved for sure.

Honestly hoping @tonyz4c will move it elsewhere, I'd be happy to sort out free hosting for it if needed. Useful resource, and not just because I have a 3.0si If it does vanish I'll be tempted to resurrect it elsewhere with Tony's name credited on it, but I'd rather not have to

Yeah I hope it stays in some form.
I’ve been considering screen shoting every single vehicle!
What would be brilliant @caius is if it was possible to search or filter via spec. Not just trim. So ability to drill down to cars with xenon’s etc.

Same here, offered him as much earlier. He said he was on vacation at the time and would see about fixing it somewhere after the 22nd of August.
Just out of curiosity, what did you use to mirror it and all the data files?

Just out of curiosity, what did you use to mirror it and all the data files?

Pretty much just wget with a bunch of flags, then eyeballed the JS <script> code in the html files to discover the "dynamically built" URLs for the two VIN data files, then some jq & sed to grab out the two letter VIN prefixes, and then more wget with a bit of shell expansion to fetch those.

Main workhorse to bypass the warning PHP, just needs a cookie header setting:

wget -mpHkKE -t 2 -e robots=off --header "Cookie: perso_warn=http%3A%2F%2Fperso.numericable.fr" $URL

Don't worry i'am not dead and still have the source code
I'm suffering actually.from back pain since one month and my mind is a bit focused on that

I will try to host it on azure
If it's not working i'will liasse with ryushe

The page uses jquery grid, customized World Map, alasql to perform sql query in json data and google charts
My plan was to store the data in a solr db in order to be able to perform fulltext search (still in my mind)

Ping me if you want to host it on here…

Bonjour Tony,
mon Nickname est Galayir (le nom d'un elfe noir que j'ai joué en jeu de rôle il y a longtemps) mais mon prénom est Yves.
Je tiens à vous remercier chaleureusement pour tout le travail effectué afin de construire votre site et les recherches multi-critères que vous avez implémentées. Informaticien de métier, je sais reconnaître un travail de qualité

J'habite à Bruxelles, je ne sais pas dans quelle région vous résidez mais si à un moment vous participez à des évènements, ce serait cool de vous rencontrer.
Pour ma part, je vais quasiment chaque année 2x par an aux meetings/courses de "vieilles voitures" à Spa: le Spa Classic et les six heures de Spa.
Si vous aimez les vieilles voitures, on ne peut pas trouver mieux ( sauf au Mans pour le nombre de voitures présentées en statique).
Bravo pour tout le travail et merci.

Ue petite photo de la mienne (LZ31002), le seule Z4 immatriculée d'origine aux Pays-Bas, boite manuelle (what else ?) et intérieur cuir rouge Traumrot, elle a juste une soeur jumelle dans le monde en angleterre.
J'essaye de trouver ses coordonnées, on ne sait jamais...



Yves
