This was an unusual car to have as the 4,400th on Autocade: the Rosengart Ariette. I did know the 4,400th was coming up since it wasn’t that long ago that Autocade passed 22 million page views, and I checked the stats. But I like to think this would still have been the motor that […]

Autocade reaches 22 million, while Rachel Hunter appears in Lucire
As I begin this blog post, Autocade has just crossed the 22 million page-view barrier, at 22,000,040. I had estimated we would get there on Sunday, and as it’s just ticked over here in New Zealand, I was right. We have 4,379 models in the database, with the Bestune B70, in its third generation, […]

The Mediawiki page-count bug: what’s caused it?
Either something is interfering with Mediawiki or I’ve reached the limit with the software after 4,300-odd entries on Autocade. Which is highly unlikely as the same software runs Wikipedia. For the first time ever I noticed this in the footer: This is how a page with no views looks. Once it nets a few […]

Autocade reaches 4,300 models before the month is out
A very quick note, probably more for me than anyone else: the 4,300th model went up on Autocade tonight. It was slightly deliberate, since I checked the stats for the site to see we were up to 4,299. I’ve a folder of models to be added, and I admit I scrolled down a little to […]

Autocade reaches 21 million page views
Above: The 4,283rd model entered into Autocade: the mostly forgotten Isuzu Bellel. A few days ago, Autocade hit 21 million page views. It was pretty uneventful even for me, since the site hasn’t been updated too much since the 20 millionth page view. Thanks to COVID-19, I’ve been quite busy and haven’t contributed to the […]
Autocade reaches 20 million page views
Above: The 4,243th model entered into Autocade, now on 20,008,500 page views: the Maxus G50. Autocade’s passed the 20,000,000 page-view mark, sitting on just over 20,008,000 at the time of writing, on 4,243 models entered (the Maxus G50 is the newest), an increase of 101 models over the last million views. As it’s the […]
May is always quieter for blogging—and we get to 4,200 models on Autocade
Again, proof that each 100th vehicle on Autocade isn’t planned: the 4,200th is the second-generation Mazda Premacy, or Mazda 5 in some markets, a compact MPV that débuted 15 years ago. If it were planned, something more significant would have appeared. I know MPVs aren’t sexy but they remain one of the most practical […]

Autocade to hit 19,000,000 page views this week
A 1950s German microcar (the Champion 400) is a nice change from the massive modern SUV It’s a cinch that Autocade will hit 19 million page views this week. At the time of writing, there are fewer than 15,000 views to go. The last millionth milestone was expected on December 26, but I believe […]

Autocade turns 12
Autocade turns 12 today, as it’s now March 8 here in New Zealand. From zero models to 4,093 (the Hyundai Avante XD is the latest); and as I write this sentence, it’s netted 18,683,611 page views. Just four years ago this month, it had only managed eight million. Just this week, I added two […]
Replacing Po.st with Addtoany, outside of Wordpress
Some of you will have noticed that Po.st went out of business, so all the Po.st sharing links disappeared from our websites. The replacement: addtoany.com offers a similar service without the hassle of header codes. Just customize at their website, grab the code, and insert it where you want it. It’s now on the […]
