  1. I was looking at 1927 Hudson Super Six is listed Verkauft on ClassicDigest in Kastellstraße 56DE-74080 Heilbronn by Auto Dealer for €19900. - ClassicDigest.com and that looks quite similar in some details. I don't even know what they call these parts in German, but if you look at the wheels I see some small "hills" almost in the center and 6 of them further out and I think I can also see them on the rusty thing. The door handles are also on the right side of the door, the radiator grille has horizontal slats, the fenders look similar etc.
  2. I'm not at all a specialist for oldtimers, but it looks like a Ford, Model A, B or T to me. :-)
  3. As the leader of the category I suggest https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm166BM to be a featured WM. Very cool counter display and exactly what I was thinking about, when I created that category.
  4. Many of us know www.openstreetmap.org, but did you know that there is also a project called https://www.openrailwaymap.org/? Might be useful for WM in the Active Rail Locations category or other train related categories.
  5. I just returned from a vacation in Greece and I logged two visits and of course I had to edit my visits to give them the correct date. This is far more than annoying. I will (for now) not log any visits anymore, because I don't want to log dozens of visits and edit each and every one of them to give them the date that I have been there. Of course I understand that from the company's point of view bugs on geocaching.com are more important. But on the other hand, how much time will it take for a professional coder to fix that tiny, but VERY annoying bug??? 5 minutes?
  6. Wow, I wish our coders at work would remove bugs as fast as you do.
  7. Serbia is somehow odd, because the WM use "SCG" as the location in a list of WMs, but in a specific WM and the country dropdown it is "Serbia". And "Georgia" might cause a problem because of Georgia, US. In the list of waymarks both countries say "location: Georgia" ( see f.e. Waymark Search Results (Waymarking.com)), but if you look at a particular WM in Georgia, USA it says "Location: Georgia, United States". One other thing I noticed: You obviously used a small blue circle for micro states like Monaco, Vatican state etc., which is a very good idea. But in North Macedonia that circle's blue color adds to the blue of the country and therefore it seems as if there were more WM than in the neighbouring Croatia, but both countries are between 10 and 100 WMs. PS: A big part of my job is to test websites. That's why it is hard for me to keep my mouth shut, if I see a "problem".
  8. WOW! Very cool. The gray areas are countries with zero WMs, right? Well, it seems that Serbia is also gray, but has 99 WMs so far. Also Georgia (not Georgia, USA!) is gray, but has 12 WMs. Not a big problem (although some of the "ignored" WMs in Serbia are mine ), but I thought you would like to know.
  9. Thanks a lot. Right now, I busy preparing for a trip to Greece, but one day I will look for someone in Philadelphia or (even better) in Ottawa. Somehow, I would prefer W 75° 12.222 N 45° 04.xxx, because that represents my entire username. BTW: I used https://miniwebtool.com/word-to-phone-number-converter/ to convert my name to numbers. Might be helpful for others, if the category description would contain a link to that converter or something similar.
  10. What I don't understand: The category description tells us, what we have to do, if the username is 5 letters or shorter, but not exactly what to do, if it is longer (or maybe I just don't see/understand it). So, I could use N45° 04.xxx W75° 12.222 (hing & PISA-cac [?]) or just W75° 12.222 and no matter where the N-coordinates are. But then it wouldn't be my full name, but just "PISA-cac". I don't understand it. PS: N 39 57.220 W 075 12.222 would be in Philadelphia. And N 45 04.999 W 075 12.222 is 52 km southeast of Ottawa. PPS: The category says: "Convert your entire Geocaching handle". That's what confuses me. Do I have to use the "hing" at the end of my name or not?
  11. I tried my name also, but I don't think I have a chance. PISA-caching -> 74 72 222 44 64 -> 75 12 222 45 04 -> N/S75° 12.222 E/W45° 04.xxx Both N75 and S75 are much too close to the poles. So, I would have to find a helpful icebear or penguin for this, no? Or is there another solution?
  12. Well, I checked the profile of "derren4" and there seem to be no posted or visited waymarks. Also, you don't seem to have a premium account, which is mandatory for a search using coordinates. But even if I log out, the search finds WM with my search criteria in their title/description. HTH.
  13. See https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/
  14. You mean something like https://www.boredpanda.com/before-after-old-photo-recreation/? I thought about that myself. But the red cape doesn't exist anymore and would definitely not fit anymore and I doubt that I will find a new red cape of my size. I think my mother sewed it herself back then. She was a trained seamstress. Anyway, the advantage of a photo goal would be, that it could also be a photo that was taken inside. But, I wonder if this photo goal already exists.
  15. I started already, but there are a few early photos of me that might be easier. Additionally, the photo is in fact a scanned slide and I am unsure if it was not scanned in mirror image, which doesn't make it easier. And the quality ...
  16. If only I knew where my parents took that photo of me 50+ years ago.
  17. In my opinion, it does match. If the letters are highlighted, everything is fine. But if they are not (because they can't be highlighted), you have to explain it in the WM description. Of course, it would be better, if the letters on the brick would be highlighted and I'm sure that Benchmark Blasterz would do it, if it was possible. Edited to add: The chronogram "MEOW MEOW" uses all the letters, that might represent a Roman numeral. Your chronogram "welCoMe to roCk n Vapes caChe. Come in anD say hello." would not be solveable, if you would use only CAPS or small letters.
  18. Well, this is quite unusual, but somehow I like the idea. The category description says: "If the letters used to create the Chronogram aren't clearly highlighted in some way, you must add an explanation to your description or add a link (in the variables) to an external source." So, there is no need that the letters are bigger or have another color or something. Just make sure to explain it in the description. Now, for the W: On the one hand, it would be easier to identify, if it said "MEOVV", but on the other hand, everybody (outside the WM community) would think it is an error in the text. (They will think "They forgot the year" anyway. ). So, I think you can use either variation. You have to explain it in the WM description anyway. AND, I take it for granted that the brick will be much more "permanent", than one might consider for the sign on your house. At least you could remove the sign anytime, but it will be much harder to take that brick out of the paved walkway.
  19. I didn't either. The "problem" is: There are a few memorials for these persons, but not all of them mention "Nobel laureate". Anyhow, meanwhile I have 4 WMs in that category. Butcher shops would be possible, and I don't want to even think about peace poles. But there are many more categories I need (that are much more interesting to me) and thanks to your wonderful "Shopping list" statistics it will be much easier to find them.
  20. Browsing through older threads I found this one. A 3 year old posting and from the list I made back then, I just found "Nobel Laureates" in the meantime. Shame on me.
  21. Congratulations! Please check the images in the long description. #11 and #15 are not loading. Sorry to disappoint you, but I definitely wasn't the first WMer with a tally of 30. For example: https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmV6TD https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmV3DF https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmVACQ https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wm4VQW (2008!) and these are just a few I found and they have all been posted before my https://www.Waymarking.com/waymarks/wmZ3C9
  22. Well, at least it was not completely deleted, but archived, but for beginners finding the link on https://forums.geocaching.com/GC/index.php?/forum/52-Waymarking/ will be trickier than before.
