Can't you see a VIN on any car out on the street or in a dealer lot just like you see a 100 license plates a day? Aren't VINs all over every internet for sale ad and dealer website?

Yes you can. I don't think there is much of a problem but I just didn't want to post people's VINs online without at least making sure there is no issue.
For the record when I get mine I won't mind putting my VIN on the list and public either.
If the consensus is "no problem" I will definitely put it online.
Still not sure how people would feel about a list of of VIN's though so please share your thoughts.
I provided my VIN via PM and I would not have any issue w/ it being shared but some people can be more paranoid. As a suggestion, can you strip out the last 5 or so digits of the VIN's you get and just include those in your shared sheet? That way everyone can view and speculate on the serialization without having full VIN's published. Just a suggestion...
OK, Here is the link to my "abridged" GT4 Registry Google doc.
I believe that anyone using the link should be able to view, but not edit the document. This is actually just a copy of the original with some identifying information removed (like the actual VIN# and names of owners).
Feel free to browse and let me know what you think, suggest additions, and of course submit your car to be added!
I sat in ID 51 and got to hear the exhaust note (ZOMG!) before it was delivered, it should have been mine, but was bumped up since mine was delayed due to LWB.
Line 52 ID 51 is White, Porsche of Wallingford, partial leather, standard stitch(grey?), steel brakes
Line 111 ID 110 should be changed to Porsche of Wallingford (multiple dealerships in CT owned by Euro Performance car)
Also there is a 3rd one coming into Porsche of Wallingford in November but I can't recall the exact color it's one of the silvers I think it is Rhodium.
Also where are the two white ones that are the 918 allocations at Manhattan Motorcars?
One is white, partial leather, standard stitch, steel brakes NOT LWB

Thanks!
I updated 51. As far as Partial Leather I made the assumption that all Partial leather cars have grey stitching. Is that a good assumption? I realize now it may not be.
Updated 110 as well.
As far as Manhattan Motorcars it does not look like there is any info on the web. If there is give me a link and I will add them. It is a little tricky to add cars without a VIN as it leaves the possibility of duplicating them.
Yes all partial leather = "Platinum Grey" stitch I just wasn't sure if "platinum" and "grey" were the same thing. Leave it to Porsche to make grey sound better by calling it platinum!
110 is mine so no worries about duplicating I'll get you the VIN as soon as I have it
Good point on the Manhattan Motorcars, cars. I know one of them has been posted here already on Rennlist and the other one I know from Wheelwell.com I'll see if I can find more info about them, but I am guessing they aren't going into the dealers automated posting systems since they are A) already sold and B) couldn't be sold for 6 months anyways.

FYI Manhattan Motorcars has 2 identical white cars sold and in storage waiting for the 6 month VIP window to pass. I got up close to them but did not capture the VIN's (and one was covered). I don't remember all the specs but they have 2-way seats, platinum stitching and red brakes.

OK good, glad to hear I was on track about the stitching. Sad to say I was unclear about exactly what Full and Partial Leather and contrasting stitching amounted to even while I was configuring my own build. I just knew red contrasting stitching sounded cool and I needed full leather to get it.
And yes I have made two exceptions to Rennlisters on my "must have VIN" policy because I know I will probably get the VIN's and I can keep track of one or two cars without VIN's. But the more I do that the better the chance I will lose track and possibly end up double counting.

I know some of the Canadians that have been waiting a month for their cars after arriving on Canadian soil, are just about climbing the walls, can you imagine buying a car it's waiting for you just down the street and having to wait 6 months to drive it. Yikes.
Those gents must have lots of patience.
Holy GT4's! Did you capture all of these in the database by chance?
It looks like I have. I actually have 6 cars from "The Porsche Exchange" in the database. Without actually comparing VIN against VIN it is impossible to say with absolute certainty but it is a pretty good bet theses are the same cars.
